Agree, plus those "dusty tea bags" are dusty because no one at Starbucks in the US has even the slightest idea of how to prepare tea that isn't iced orange pekoe.

If you wanna go low or no caffeine there are many lovely tisanes etc, camellia sinensis is not actually that low in caffeine.

How will the current owner of the Star Trek franchise feel if he sees an episode that’s overtly pro-Trans?

There is an outrageous outbreak of measles in South Carolina, mostly among unvaccinated members of a particular church. Does anyone have a sense of who they might have voted for?

If we can't have a hard rain that's gonna fall, I'm praying for a good stiff breeze.

A lag of 12 months sounds about right for the Fed, eh?

"Full blown contraction." I do love the increasingly hilarious euphemisms for "depression."

On the one hand, I’m obviously happy that many of the writers I know (and less humbly, myself) sell a lot better than this in a first week. On the other hand, how much she got paid as an advance would probably make me kick a hole in the universe.

But at least we can tell AI to generate videos of Stitch gooning to Star Wars porn in the style of the Incredibles. We truly live in a golden age.

Amazingly, instead of getting paid a billion for the license to their characters, Disney is instead *investing* a billion. Thus inflating the AI bubble to Epcot-sized proportions — and further shackling our economy to this stupid boat anchor most people hate.

Reminder that Adolph Hitler, the Ayatollah Khamenei and Vlad Putin were all Time's People of the Year, so you can decide for yourself on which side of the split this grouping fits

I wanted nothing more than to drink far too much hard liquor and pass out in front of a Netflix show but instead put together a credenza and am now reading about fungus. It's a great book!

Tonight's spammer trying to extract money from me for "marketing services" calls themselves "Janet Storypitch," and, as the kids said in 2016, I can't even with this right now
