Absolutely awful game of football. I'm going to go walk up a hill.

Nice to see Everton applying their own three point deduction to Chelsea.

And here it is with spaces for text so you can use it as a meme template:

On his birthday, celebrate French auteur Eric Rohmer. One of cinema’s most perceptive chroniclers of the pangs and perils of romance. With his Six Moral Tales and Tales of the Four Seasons collections, as well as his melancholy masterpiece THE GREEN RAY, all streaming on the Criterion Channel! ❤️🎞️

I'm your beeeeeaan dealer, I believe we can reach the morning liii-ight...

Interesting that the most famous "disruptor" coffee brands of the last few years—Luckin and Blank Street in particular—have started shifting their business models and started acting like Starbucks. Luckin is acquiring cool brands and opening a luxury flagship; Blank Street is building bigger stores

I blogged about it, as they say (paywall, but hey I gotta pay the bills) #CoffeeSky www.thepourover.coffee/on-becoming-...

Lol turns out Coffee Intelligence, which is under the same ownership as PDG, *also* put out an article recently on automation and efficiency that *also* only featured quotes from that one podcaster. Makes me wonder why...

I spoke to Sara Salloum and Bashar Abu Saifan of Lebanon's Agrimovement about farmworker organizing, Israel's attacks, and the meaning of solidarity. Read the interview here:

Napoleon observing his armies

Oh good we're doing "damn millennials could afford a house if they just stopped buying lattes" but for oil.

TNT Sports app: Missed the start of the game? Just hit "play from beginning" :) Now TV app: Missed the start? Fuck you, rewind the game while trying desperately to avoid seeing the score, you pathetic worm

Oh good we're doing "damn millennials could afford a house if they just stopped buying lattes" but for oil.

it is the postal SERVICE not the postal BUSINESS thank you for your time

the media is now telling people to work from home to save on gasoline, immediately after their years-long crusade to tell us why returning to office is best for everyone. this isn't a gotcha, it's an example of how contradicting demands allow the ruling class to blame us no matter what we do

Filed himself again

Oh good we're doing consumer-blaming paper straw environmentalism but for oil.

A tragedy occurs off the coast of a land called Honah-Lee.

You don’t have to be Catholic to want this

Yesterday morning I stepped outside on my balcony for coffee with my wife and our neighbor. The drone was as low as it has ever been. We saw it over our heads. Below, our alleyway had turned into a parking lot for displaced people’s cars. A school next door is hosting around 1500 people.

I think I might start a movement called the Coffee Luddites for those who don't mind paying a bit more and waiting a few minutes for a hand-made coffee made by a skilled, well-paid worker, and don't get mad if it's not perfect every single time because that's how things go. I'm sure it'll catch on.

the Attlee government nationalised healthcare, the railways, the energy industry, telecoms, the steel industry, and the Bank of England, and established the welfare state, introduced free secondary education, and built a million homes

A small town in northern New Mexico is punching above its weight with a local historic preservation project, restoring a century-old adobe school building as a thriving community hub. I love, love, loved reporting on this project!

Not the most important part of this, obviously, but it's pretty grim to see Variety doing a "First Look (EXCLUSIVE)" manufacturing consent for this AI dreck.

This article is just an ad for some Australian podcaster and his cafe that utilises the so-called "divisive" pre-batched espresso. The only criticism comes from random commenters on *one of the podcaster's own Instagram posts". The state of coffee media, man.. perfectdailygrind.com/2026/03/why-...

Arsenal continuing to ruin football

For @defector.com, I wrote about the Nitehawk Workers Union, "saving movie theaters," and why humans respond to other humans defector.com/fair-pay-fee...

Wenger got mocked and memed for years on end while other clubs, particularly Chelsea, had to break the law repeatedly to beat his Arsenal side. It is shameful but of course capitalism has no shame.

It honestly makes perfect sense that people who have spent their lives exploiting workers and the environment to accumulate wealth beyond measure might want to avoid thinking too hard about what that says about them.

sorry but it's so funny to be like, "hey, 400 years ago, no one had ever even thought of the *self*!!!! how silly!" when Hamlet, which contains perhaps the most famous line about the self in the history of literature, was written in like 1600

Whoa

The Amazing World of Tomorrow

As of this morning, nearly 4,000 workers are on strike at one of the largest beef plants in the US. Biggest meatpacking strike in decades.

Interviewing women coffee farmers in Colombia, Lucia Bawot realised that most of them were facing mental health challenges without any help. She created SANA to address this unmet need. 100+ women have now received mental healthcare through SANA. Its success offers lessons for the wider industry.

It is *fascinating* to me how quickly some people have gone completely from “we all must work in the office! human collaboration is vital and only happens in person!” to “I can replace all these pesky people with chatbots!” Definitely some commentary there about our society and who gets to choose.

One of the unfortunate downsides of writing about coffee and the coffee industry is that LinkedIn is currently by far the biggest driver of social media referral traffic to my newsletter. It's where my audience is, so I have to spend a lot of time there. It sucks so much. Help me change that:

Interesting article from @thepourover.coffee about night-time coffee options for shift workers, with a nice profile of one late night coffee truck. Has me wondering about late night options for good coffee in Seoul . . . . www.thepourover.coffee/graveyard-ni...

it’s cold again and i’m starting to believe sumer will never be icumen in around here. i was made to believe i would be lhude singing cuccu by now

I'm speechless. Henry scoring against Leeds, Arshavin scoring against Barcelona, we will all remember Max Dowman winning this game for Arsenal Football Club.

Honestly, the way this team can put you through 88 minutes of torture, then leave you feeling like this after an extraordinary contribution from Max Dowman is essentially absurd. It looked like it was gonna be a nightmare, instead it became the stuff of dreams. My heartbeat is doing techno BPM

Companies love to fund projects at origin, some of which have provided healthcare or promoted gender equity. Mental health, however, is often an afterthought. SANA's success offers an example of how the industry can better prioritise the wellbeing of those who do the most work for the least benefit.
