Let us all hope this is Usha Vance' pathway to a better life as a far left revolutionary. Or at least as a more self-aware human being with healthy boundaries.

I just assume the drift to the left follows with personal enlightenment.

Plant bits with water filtered through it. An infusion.

See I didn't know that, what with tons of herbal teas, but yeah the ones I look up seem to all be black tea + extras blended into a concoction.

As a SNAP recipient, I'm surprised that my coffee habit (now at $10/lb for whole bean) is fully covered by EBT. I'm not complaining, but I am a junkie totally being enabled. I don't question cookies and candy as kids need their fix, but me? I'd expect to buy my own like boozers and tokers.

Also, I'm sore that the shutdown is stopping my benefits in November, maybe December... pending developments. That's a separate issue.

I thought tradwife was a contractual position anyway: She's moving on to her next job.

IRL, your very recent bestie who pushed out your bestie-of-ten-years is the one to signal it's time to move in. FBI has a long running pattern of deciding that someone must be a terrorist (or is a good candidate for gaslighting into terrorism) so they can conduct an elaborate sting operation, often involving replacing all the victim's friends with FBI plants.

If you remember Kellyanne Conway's Bowling Green Massacre, there wasn't a massacre but some arrests, and they were of the gaslight them until they do something barely terroristy enough to get a conviction category.

I wrote a blogpiece about it in 2016, noting it was much less of a massacre thank Conway was letting on, but still quite the debacle.

Anyway, as bad as it feels being betrayed by your friend of ten years, it's hard not to feel like a rat for having kicked that friend out for a newer, cooler friend, only to have them signal when there's enough evidence.

It's technically an infusion though I don't know if that changes between hot or cold water. But I think teas are arbitrarily determined: We decided that the black tea plants are teas and the weeds next to them are not based entirely on choice.

Coke is a specific trademark connected to specific recipes. But colas are all based on the cola bean, and some decent ones that get close to Coca-cola and Pepsi-cola.

IIRC is my way of getting out of citing sources, often because I don't remember exactly what it was, say if I saw it during a nature show on PBS or a segment on SciShow

Sometimes I don't remember if it was AP, Reuters or Mother Jones where I got a fact or a take, but it was someplace I could probably trust. So If I remember right...

Curiously, if I don't trust a source and can't recall who it was, I'll attribute it to vicious rumors or some muckraking rag or but it sounds like something FOX News would put out, so take with salt.

Coffee is technically tea, but then bay broth (a foundation for chicken soup) is also technically tea.

At this point YouTube's anti-piracy algos have rendered RiMusic useless for listening to playlists (every track stops at ~00:30) though I can still use it to link to YouTube play pages. Not great for general radio listening.

I switched from ViMusic to RiMusic due to lack of support, and while this particular problem (bug?) has been known for a while now, nothing has been done to stop it.

I was wondering if the recent crackdown by YT on FOSS offerings might spur a fix, but not yet.

Does anyone have news?

Can anyone recommend alternatives to those of us too poor to purchase subscriptions?

Thanks, all, in advance.

I wrote this in a recent letter to mom, and it was worthy of saving. Use it ~~only for good~~ as you will.

I once likened this era to living on an active and volatile volcano.

Now, I compare it to living inland in Tokyo, while Godzilla, Ghidorah and Megalon are fighting each other downtown by the bay. Things appear okay in my day to day life, but every once in a while, a chunk of skyscraper, uncoupled trolley or piece of freeway intersection arcs above and smashes the local deli, crushing some homes as it rolls to a stop. Titans rumble above us and we can only watch in horror and hope it stops before we get crushed, ourselves.

Does a TOS on a suicide prevention line feel a bit coercive to anyone else?
