RIP Dolly Parton. There are so many wonderful things to remember her for, but the one I like to bring up is all the work she did for childhood literacy. Probably its greatest advocate in our lifetimes. God bless Dolly Parton.

People in the coffee world will usually give you the recommendations for better coffee as: 1. Buy good quality coffee. 2. Buy the best grinder you can afford. but I think an often unsaid 0th recommendation is to clean your equipment thoroughly and regularly.

Not true. In their list of grievances, the Founding Fathers complained that King George III was blocking colonial laws that would promote immigration and make it easier for foreign settlers to become citizens.

Reuters tweeted: "Pope Leo urged Americans to uphold the ideals of the Declaration of Independence, praising the country's long tradition of welcoming immigrants in his first major address to the United States." They then attached a video of the Pope speaking.

Someone named NoraNH replied: "The Declaration of Independence doesn’t mention immigrants"

He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.

tl,dr; Scientists no longer allowed to use federal funding to publish, attend meetings, or talk to the public. They cannot collaborate internationally. Grants can be cancelled for any reason, at any time, political appointees have a final say over what gets funded, and who gets funded.
