My 87 year-old mother pointed out that taxpayers are funding TV commercials propagandizing TFG’s policies as being “great”. She correctly pointed out that past presidents used press conferences or “fireside chats” — not taxpayer-funded hagiographic ads for brainwashing (her word, not mine). Mom’s so astute. #propaganda #hagiography

❤️ 💕 Kamala Harris, God willing, our next President of the United States.

Wow, this Greek salad looks so refreshing. I can’t wait to make my own version tomorrow, since I just remembered I have some feta on hand.

Mmmmmm! Plus just some olive oil and red wine vinegar?

I've never been to the original "Bergen". Looks nice...(no Route 17 madness...!lol)

At first, I thought you were referring to Bergen County, NJ (where I reside). But, then I looked more closely at the photo and noticed a very pretty town in the background. No place in Bergen County looks remotely as attractive as that. 🤩

How can TFG threaten investigating Biden for wrongdoing if TFG retakes the White House, if a former president is now immune from prosecution, per SCOTUS? #incoherence

This is horrific.

Betty Moore, one of the flight attendants shown in this photo, posted this today on "X": "As the other attendants arrived, we realized we would be an all African American crew. The first officer & lastly, the Captain. We all looked around at each other & took in the moment. Our entire crew is African American." This shouldn't be something to call out in this day and age; but it is still so incredibly rare.

I almost panicked when I ran out of conical filters for my automatic pour-over coffee maker. But this gave me the opportunity to try some other brewing methods. I used my ceramic Hay brewer to make a form of steeped filtered coffee yesterday. Today I used a reusable cloth filter with an old Melitta cone to make a manual pour-over coffee. Tomorrow I’ll pull out my old French press and try that. So far my preference: steeped filtered coffee with my simple Hay ceramic pot. #coffeegeek @npub1ep8…29a5

To your point, the NYT just published an article lauding instant coffee. Agree that they’ve really dropped the ball when it comes to coffee coverage in their paper. I know it’s not “ breaking news”. But instant coffee? Really?

I’m always on the hunt for handy guides for the perfect cup of pour over coffee. Here’s a useful coffee-to-water ratio chart for the pour over brewing method for standard ratios of 1:15 through 1:17. Adjust grind size to medium (I.e., a tad finer than kosher salt). If too sour, grind a bit finer. This chart’s from pullandpourcoffee.com [@coffeegeek](https://flipboard.social/@coffeegeek) One thing I recently learned is that if you like Ethiopian coffee (as I do), grind it a bit coarser for a smoother cup!
