We need people that will safeguard certain lines that may not be crossed.

Exactly.

"We finally won."

What did it cost?

"Our humanity"

If people are so willing to cross those lines, what are we even doing or trying to uphold?

I do both, but mostly the tea is just to stretch out the coffee supply. e.g. Instead of making a second up of coffee, I'll make tea instead.

Wright wrote in the letter that the purpose of the group and its report was "to catalyze scientific and public debate" and that the result "exceeded my expectations." Wright concluded that with that goal met the CWG could now be dissolved.

So, basically, "Mission Accomplished". For a second there, I almost allowed myself to think some moment of enlightenment had occurred.

I'm happy he's not spewing hate anymore. However, I abhor (and denounce) how that came to pass and remain genuinely disgusted at the sick, bloodthirsty mob social media turns into when shit like this happens (or attempted happens).

I am very much not an "ends justify the means" kind of person and firmly believe that kind of logic is extremely dangerous.

How does this make me feel? Well, disgusted. Disgusted that there's more gun violence in the world, disgusted that people are cheering it on, and disgusted with pretty much everyone's knee-jerk takes on the matter. I can forgive celebrating his passing as dark humor / gallows humor. I can even understand laughing at the schadenfreude due to the guy's stance on exactly this kind of thing. But for people to be praising the suspect or calling for more is firmly crossing the line into psychopath territory.

Again, the ends do not justify the means.

I can feel in my bones that the other shoe is about to drop, and all these people salivating over the bloodshed are not going to be happy when it does. Violence only begets more violence, and people need to understand that and not be cheering it on.

US retail coffee prices surged 21% year-over-year in August, the largest annual increase since October 1997, according to Thursday's Consumer Price Index. The monthly 4% jump marks the steepest rise in 14 years. Trump administration tariffs on major coffee exporters -- 50% on Brazil, 20% on Vietnam, and 10% on Colombia -- are driving costs higher as 99% of US coffee consumption relies on imports.

J.M. Smucker plans its third price increase this winter for Folgers and Cafe Bustelo brands after raising prices in May and August. New Orleans chain French Truck Coffee has implemented a 4% tariff surcharge. Starbucks expects peak cost impacts in 2026 due to its advance purchasing practices. KPMG chief economist Diane Swonk predicts prices will exceed historical records as Brazilian tariff effects reach retail shelves.

I dunno what I'm gonna do when my stash runs out. About 6 months ago, coffee was on sale and I bought as much as I could store in the crisper drawers of my downstairs fridge. I've probably got about another 6 month's supply and am probably going to be aghast when I have to buy more 😔

Charlie Kirk. Kirk, 31, was the CEO...

He was only 31?

Geezus. Hate really does age you. I'm over 10 years his senior, and he looks 5 years older than me. And for once, this isn't a humble-brag.

Duck face came to mind yesterday - randomly realized I hadn't seen duckface in the wild for a long time.

Or, alternatively, what are some old fads you wish would make a comeback?

The spirit of the question is social fads. Please try to keep replies to lighthearted things. I'll delete the post if the comments turn into political commentary.
