@oswald808 Man, you're all forcing me to tweet and stuff.

There are some amazing people in Brighton. @sprobro is one of them.

@iamjensee Incredibly, Silvia is still a go to. (Can get them with nice mods too.) For low cost home espresso: a Breville (pref with no grinder attached). Still, Silvia is better. Or for your dreamy, forever home machine: Linea Mini. Pavoni nice if you like full manual nerdery.

By now, you've likely heard about the #PandoraPapers - the landmark reporting on financial secrecy havens, corruption, and the hidden wealth brought to you by the @ICIJorg and its 140 media partners worldwide. icij.org/investigations… 1/

@brannonmc Meaningless. He had to avoid distractions now by saying that's his "plan." Loads of escape room there.

Today I think was the first time Biden announced he's running for re-election in 2024. The right move politically, in my opinion.

Spot on, and a major issue in the homeless shelter where I've worked.

The Hotel Rwanda star is ... quite a complicated guy. Fantastic reporting here.

@feranch Ah, that's kind. I do too, and this is the sort of thing I would have relished publishing.

@sprobro Thanks Ben! Miss longberry all the time

The conversation around complex biodiversity and soil health in coffee seems light years behind the broader food system. So appreciate this piece:

Were pre-pandemic restaurants already hollowed out, via apps and nostalgia and inequality and cultural fetishes? Things now laid pretty bare. Such a thoughtful read: nplusonemag.com/online-only/on…

@brannonmc @emininak Bet I know what they drink at the Hand in Hand, and what sort of jazz they listen to.

@brannonmc @emininak Very cool, partly because I can definitely tell what sort of folks they are!

Deadliest days in American history: 1. Galveston Hurricane - 8,000 2. Antietam - 3,600 3. 9/11 - 2,977 4. Last Thursday - 2,861 5. Last Wednesday - 2,762 6. Last Tuesday - 2.461 7. Last Friday - 2,439 8. Pearl Harbor - 2,403

Good Lord, everyone should read this thread and be thankful for everything but especially immigrants and migrant workers

The most enlightening piece I've read about the election, easily. It may be that Biden is the aberration, not Trump. If you've had a foot in conservative/religious waters, this is especially excavating.

Fireworks in Brighton, UK, right now. Pretty sure it’s for Biden, not leftover Guy Fawkes.

What happens to Republicans after Trump? Highly lucid:

@jesseraub @kimelenaionescu @Kbozaaa @NickCho @SCA_US This is good, clarifying stuff, Jesse.

@sh1chimi Have used baking soda and salt (for abrasion) on the end of a wet Q tip for years. Takes espresso stains off in seconds.

My teeth are hella coffee stained but I’m afraid of tooth whitening products, are there natural ones that actually work??

What's one thing you would never want to automate? #Automation #analogue

1000% accurate. See thread.
