AOC: And they are able to radicalize a generation of young boys in particular, away from healthy masculinity and into an insecure masculinity that requires the domination of others who are poorer, browner, darker, or a different gender than them.

I wrote about the latest round of coffee mergers and consolidations—Coca-Cola selling Costa, JAB Holdings arranging the Keurig/JDE Peet's merger and GTFOing from coffee—how they fit into the historical context, and what it all means for the future of the industry. #CoffeeSky

Mergers, Acquisitions, and the Future of the Coffee Industry

Acquisitions and consolidation have always been part of coffee. Does the latest wave point to an industry in decline—or one ripe for renewal?

An important thread debunking Starbucks' PSL invention claims. #CoffeeSky

So uhh...I just impulsively decided to fact-check the official origin story for the pumpkin spice latte and it is A LIE or at least incorrect.

Starbucks claims to have invented it in 2003

But a coffee shop in Portland was selling them in 2001 (the earliest mention I can find)

Starbucks began developing the pumpkin spice latte in January 2003, following the success of winter beverages such as the peppermint mocha and eggnog latte. Peter Dukes, the company's Director of Espresso for the Americas, explained that developers recognized the appeal of pumpkin flavor, noting, "there wasn't anything around pumpkin at the time."[5] During development, Starbucks' team collaborated with food scientists to create four potential seasonal beverages...

This moment isn’t just about law; it’s about humanity. It’s about whether we choose a democracy that lifts every voice or one where fear, bureaucracy, and political maneuvering silence millions.

Well, we know what that makes you. Trump’s son Eric is hawking his book, saying the Trump’s have saved God and Christianity but God can save herself without the Trumps Eric. Meanwhile, they are selling bibles for profit.

The Far Right is so afraid of the rally on Saturday they’ve been calling it a hate rally when in fact it’s a peaceful protest to the destruction of our country by JD Vance, the mouthpiece for non citizen, wealthy businessmen like Peter Thiel.
JD if you’re prostituting yourself!

I need to go find this mug. I bought it during the 1st Trump government shutdown. I didn't think it would be relevant again. I was wrong. I underestimated the stupidity of the cult.

So, China is buying soy beans from Argentina instead of America but we are giving Argentina billions of dollars? Also, Argentinians have free healthcare but Americans do not and our government is now shut down because it doesn’t have enough money to give Americans even a discount on healthcare?
