Israel hunted a 70 year old lady down with a gun drone and then hoovered above to make sure she bled out next to her dying son. They both join almost 1,000 Palestinians Israel has massacred or maimed in its genocide during the "ceasefire". www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/12...

The trick is to have a computer so old that Microsoft won't even let you upgrade.

Who has made this 🤣

I put together a flowchart of how World of Coffee Dubai and the Specialty Coffee Association are connected to the government of Dubai.

Of course it's on Substack too. You'd think the government could spring for Beehiiv at least, but maybe this is more cost-cutting.

He looks like he’s trying to stop his dog from leaving him

Hey everyone, here's the news, if you aren't a high earner, entrepreneur or a "skilled frontline worker" (whatever the fuck that means) the "Labour" Party says you aren't contributing, you're a taker!

racists roll their eyes at this, they're not happy with any message short of 'send them all back' & they don't trust labour trying to pander to them. people who aren't racist recognise this as divisive patronising nonsense. labour's approval rating is 12% and i'm surprised it is that high

I still occasionally get the jingle stuck in my head (I listen to a lot of old time radio detective serials) youtu.be/cDY4ojqP5gw?...

Netflix, which rarely carries a single movie from before 1980, wants you to know how thrilled they are to acquire that classic piece of franchise IP, Casablanca

Which consumers, Ted, because I quite like going to see movies at the cinema and very often can't because they've already fucking disappeared. I don't want to watch Frankenstein on TV, I want to see it in a movie theatre.

This just popped up on my Roku and I let out an involuntary little "ooh"

The fact that many GPs don't believe people with mental health conditions will not be news to those of us with mental health conditions who have had to deal with these cunts. Kudos on the BBC for continuing to manufacture consent to take away our rights and healthcare though.

Coffee media loves to write about Dubai's booming coffee industry, and the Specialty Coffee Association is set to hold a trade show there next month. But why is there so little focus on the U.A.E.'s repression of dissidents and LGBTQ+ people, and its alleged complicity in genocide? #CoffeeSky

I wrote this earlier this year and I still hope it can be of use! www.eater.com/24364171/ice...

People need to boycott this show and not just half ass. Shame everyone who plans on watching it. This isn't about Eurovision, it's about Israel getting away with committing genocide because THERE ARE NEVER ANY CONSEQUENCES. They should be untouchable by now. Everybody needs to walk the fucking walk.

This came to me in a dream

What's this obsession with finding racism *only* in the implicit signs and gestures and in hidden anecdotes? Like yeah sure how can we know this guy was racist without knowing his high school habits

Seems fine. What could go wrong with one already-bloated company that mostly produces dreary mediocrity owning another dozen or so entities and further consolidating the entertainment industry into nothing more than a content generation machine.

An excellent (as always) piece by @thejennchen.bsky.social for @sprudge.bsky.social on the coffee companies stepping up to support refugees with barista training programmes and other activities. #CoffeeSky

We’re launching the Earth Rover Program - trying to make geophysics actually usable for farmers. That means tackling the ridiculous price of equipment and opening up a global, easy-to-use dataset so anyone, anywhere around the globe, can understand what’s happening under their feet.

Imagine your country being seen as a hope for a new life for thousands of people wanting to live and contribute in your towns and instead of being proud of it you go no nope nope this country should be a scary shitheap people should be scared to come here how dare they think we are good

I had this whole spiel ready about how my main superstitious belief is that the full moon really does impact sleep (inspired by sleeping v poorly the past few nights) but then I looked it up and it's real?? I always assumed it was an urban legend, but science says otherwise.

damn how’d you get this scoop

It’s really impressive how fucking stupid everyone in charge of anything is now

Lol. I actually think quite a lot of people get into coffee because they "have a building". www.ft.com/content/fd43...

We're watching the wholesale burning of every scrap of dignity afforded to trans people in the UK, their rights, their medical services, their employment, their place within society, their bodily functions. It is a disgrace, and a disgusting stain on the government and media of this country.

Did you know that @sbworkersunited.org aren't the only striking Starbucks workers? Workers at the Village Hotel Glasgow - including at a franchised Starbucks on site - launched strike action last week with @unitetheunion.bsky.social. They are the first Starbucks workers in the UK to go on strike.

Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries: “Strong floor, no ceiling” Colombian President Gustavo Petro: “A clan of pedophiles wants to destroy our democracy.”

It it always worth remembering that this government is only transphobic because it wants to be.

If your choice is between an existential risk to your organisation, vs being a fascist collaborator, and you make the difficult choice to be a collaborator... ...then you are still a collaborator.

1. The European Parliament’s attempt to ban plant-based foods from being sold as “sausages”, “burgers” etc is a direct response to livestock industry lobbying. This is a short thread on how utterly bleeding ridiculous it is. 🧵1/6

Just. Give. People. Money. living wage...minimum wage...and so on....

Momentous wins from the first multi-day strike in BBIU history‼️ 1. The union raised $18K in strike funds — ensuring EVERY WORKER who struck could receive their full wages during the strike! 2. Great picket line turnout, especially on Black Friday. Thanks to everyone who showed up to our line!

👀

The fuck even is an "ultraprocessed food company". How do you define "ultraprocessed".

Starbucks CEO Brian Niccol made $95 million last year. His workers are striking for the bare minimum. Glad to be on the right side of the picket line with them.

For all the mfers who say workers just serve coffee, just deliver packages, just stock shelves, just clean rooms, just prep food, or just check in guests, remember this, they keep our communities running every day. And when they’re on a picket line, you respect it.

I understand why people stay on services that suck but not Spotify. There’s so many other platforms that are 1-to-1 the same but with less garbage if not objectively better.
