Meanwhile in the UK, this coal reduction was happening--

Chart showing UK coal usage rose during industrial Revolution and then plunging down the last 50 years until finally now being lowest in 400 years, back when Queen Elizabeth I was on throne and Shakespeare was writing Hamlet.

Someone modified it into a more accurate version--

Version of trump's infamous 'doctor' posting, changed to be more accurate by having doctor Netanyahu applying his orb treatment to sick trump.

Needs to be 2 types of posters created for taking on trump's gop party-- 1--anti-trumpist poster listing all the anti-conservative policies hurting citizens to support primary season candidates; and 2--anti trumpist poster of anti-democratic policies hurting citizens to support midterm candidates.

I found this screenshot I took of the article if you are interested in tracking it down--

There is less snow in the
lowlands. In parts of the Oslo
wildlands, the skiing season has
become nearly 40 days shorter.

I saved this screenshot specifically to remind me of this kind of stuff--

Richard, who I called Rich, died last month in Brackett Park. I wrote this in March 2016, back when Jake pledged to solve homelessness. Rich ain't waiting anymore.

I'll rely on someone else to alt text this, but bless your heart.

Do they consider Pete a DEI hire? If so, he just kicked the trump admin's butt showing them how a real leader responds.

Pete Buttigieg's statement calling out Trump and the admin's awful response to the plane/helicopter crash being somehow caused by dei while completely ignoring the victims and the trump admin policy changes that directly impacted air traffic safety.

So now that I'm awake and able to get a cocktail with the private barrel Alderen Dill Aquavit at Meteor Bar, I hastened to go and have Mattie whip up the best cocktail I've had in 3 weeks (since the last time Meteor made a cocktail for me). But seriously, delicious and I'm savoring each sip

At Meteor Bar and asked for a cocktail using the private barrel Alderen Dill Aquavit they shared with South Lyndale Liquors, photo is the lovely cocktail and the bottle of Alderen.

Yawn...just woke up, what year is this? Decided to go on an Aquavit buying trip to South Lyndale Liquors and found their private barrel Alderen Dill Aquavit near their extensive aquavit shelf (largest selection in MN? USA? North America?)...whatever it is, I'll drink to that--Skål!

I got to drive home in the sunshine. By the way--if you are bored but awake, try NE Social tonight, at 8pm they are kicking off a Jazz night (I guess 3rd Tuesdays of month going forward as long as people show up).

Do bartenders watch the glass, or no; are they too busy to see how the sips go down leaving condensation outside? I don't. :)

My 2nd post here! So exciting--I'm at Meteor Bar enjoying the start of my work day with a Dill Aquavit riff off the classic Vesper--split base Dill with a London Dry gin and dry vermouth--and I love every part of it and I take back all my bad thoughts about my cousin gin from England. He's alright.

Was going to use Twitter-x bs as my exit from social media (been on one or another since ~2003ish) but then I thought maybe try one more and see how it goes. I definitely forgot how much it takes to build an account & find friends who also made the move, so please feel free to spread the word. Skål
