More convinced than ever that there is a shadowy cabal of puppet masters at the top of our society looking out for our best interests and quietly regarding us with benevolent kindness
My “for you” feed was convinced he was staying home to start World Wars 3 and 4, so I guess those are canceled?
SCHEDULING CHANGE: Trump rallies in Kansas, Iowa back on, per source familiar
"Rallies are BACK ON! President Trump loves his supporters, and in addition to nearly 20 tele-rallies, he will hold back-to-back rallies in Kansas and Iowa on Sunday. No one works harder, fights harder, or loves the American people more than President Donald J. Trump!
The rallies were rearranged for scheduling purposes to accommodate dozens of additional tele-rallies that were recently added to the President’s schedule."
Never really understood the whole domination thing but now I can imagine wishing to be a British pastry
My most firmly held crank belief is that this is what Dune is about
Michael Pollan reveals how the introduction of caffeine completely changed human history and consciousness.
"Before caffeine, it was a very different world and a very different consciousness. People were drunk a lot of the time, buzzed almost all of the time because it was safer than water"
"Water was really how you got diseases. If you fermented things, even low alcohol, it killed a lot of the microbes. So people, even kids, drank hard cider for breakfast"
"Tea, chocolate, and coffee all arrive in the same decade in England, and things start to change... no one ate or drank boiling water or hot beverages before"
"Boiling it made it much safer. This gave this incredible public health boost to these places, and then you have the drug that fosters a kind of more linear, rational, focused way of thinking"
"People in the 1600s started writing about it saying, 'Wow, we have this new civil and sober drink that we can use.' And that, I think, makes possible things like the Industrial Revolution"
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The clip repeats the myth that pre-caffeine people were mostly drunk because water was unsafe. Historians and medieval sources show water was commonly drunk from wells/springs while weak ale provided nutrition/calories, not a substitute for bad water.

I don’t know if I have it in me to read ten days of posts about turnout trends in various Texas counties
Was anyone going to tell me Emmanuel Lubezki shot DIGGER on VistaVision? What the hell have I been doing all month? Is there an 8am showing anywhere?
Photographers: DIGGER was shot on VistaVision. That's 35mm film running sideways through the camera, 8 perforations a frame, roughly twice the image area of standard 35mm. The camera design is from 1954. The lenses are Leitz.
Behind it is Emmanuel Lubezki, who won three Oscars in a row.
Not a phone-screen film. FDFS at #VictoryCinema?
