Nice to see the US economy decoupled from the recession in China.
5 years ago, a recession in China would have directly effected the US economy.
Not so much now.

Fuchsia hedge next to our wall in the front garden. I hard prune it every year & it always comes back guns ablazing. #gardening @gardening

It's now TWO YEARS and 204 days since Donald Trump's Jan 6 terrorist attack. In any other first world country he'd already be charged. Instead Trump is running for President where he's spewing more lies to delegitimize our democracy. Long past time to Indict trump for Jan 6!

Karen Agnifilo Friedman’s best guess: the two cases to be heated before the election are AG Bragg case and the Jan 6 case in D.C.

I am so pissed off this morning: our prime minister is prepared to burn the planet on the off-chance it helps him get re-elected. Today's action are what he should be condemned for come the 2024 election.

Trump the heavy-weight loser of all time. The Bee Gees song, I started a joke could have been written about Trump. #JusticeMatters #accountability https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XzuN6tuLDJI

Knitting at the county fair today. The first time I went to one of these after moving to the US a friend told me I had to eat something fried because it was "culturally significant to Americans" and I can't see deep fried fair food without thinking that now.

Goodmorning lovely people,
Rise and shine!
And although it's monday, it's also the first day of the rest of your life! Enough reason to make it a good day if you ask me 😊
As for me, I only had four hours of sleep last night, and I am very grateful right now that coffee exists ☕
Have a great monday, and don't forget to be kind!
Greetings from Holland🌷

Today: In your mind, fast forward to a few hours before you know your time has come (a calm and peaceful end so do not worry about that). Alone for a minute in that time, you have a chance to look back over your life. Think about what you wish you hadn’t wasted time on and what were the best moments that you wished you’d done more of.

I recently got a new coffee brewer, a Mr Coffee, which does a fine job of brewing coffee at an economical price and made a discovery. If I use a metal mesh basket to hold the grounds instead of a paper filter, it improves the flavor tremendously. That is what my taste buds told me. How many of you disagree with this assessment? 😉 I read that the mesh basket allows the coffee bean oils to come though.

Anyone familiar with mentimeter? I’ve always used PollEverywhere, and prefer it, but I’m doing a presentation for an organization that doesn’t want me to use PE and has approved mentimeter. My issue is that I can’t format mentimeter in my PPT.
Help?

Hopefully at least a half dozen of these budding lemons will hang on and mature into full fruit. The plant is covered in them at the moment but can’t sustain them all so most of them fall off. Fingers crossed a few hang on though! 🍋
Not the best platform, but I’m going to make what some will call a religious statement, but I describe as philosophical, the Necessity of Meaning in this life. The debate will be about the definition of meaning. 🫣🙃IMO, that meaning would have to include a continuation of consciousness or what exactly is the point? So what, you learned a lesson or you gained wisdom and became a better person, if everyone you know ends up “not existing” does anything you do in this life matter in any way? 🤔
