Bought a box of blackberries for the first time in a long time.

The taste is such a disappointment. Focus groups have been taken as saying "consumers hate any complex flavor in blackberries, they only want sweet".

And so the acid, the foxy notes that give the sugars something to "bounce" off of are gone. It's just insipid.

My favorite blackberries now are "weed" Himalaya blackberries. They're invasive as hell, but the fruit taste can't be beat.

Hey! It's #FortnightFridayMusic 🎉

Hosts: @MarkIngs @bborn
Subject: #void
Song: Almost Had To Start A Fight / In And Out Of Patience
By: Parquet Courts
Link: youtu.be/l-Bka7yNyKA

🎶 Caught up, caught up, caught up, caught up in our morbid modern lives
Adapt, adapt, adapt, adapt to the void then if you must
Into, into, into, into this perverted status quo
What if, what if, what if, what if I've grown tired of being polite?
...
I want, I want, I want, I want not to feel numb about death 🎶

The cover of the album "Wide Awaaaaake!" from which the song comes. It has a bright red back ground with "Parquet Courts" written in a gothic font in the top-left corner and "Wide Awaaaaake!" in an all-caps bold font in the bottom right-hand corner. A green square, tilted about 20 degrees features three cartoon-ish characters, dancing? running? (it's unclear) with their hands in the air wearing orange, yellow and blue shirts over black trousers.

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — The U.S. decision to stop sharing military intelligence with Ukraine hobbles its ability to strike and defend against the Russian army, and increases the pressure on it to accept a peace deal being pushed by the Trump administrat…

The Trump administration is finalizing a new ban on travel to the United States for citizens of certain countries that would be broader than the versions President Trump issued in his first term, according to two officials familiar with the matter.
A draft recommendation circulating inside the executive branch proposes a “red” list of countries whose citizens Trump could bar from entering the United States, said the officials.
One of the officials said the proposed red list currently consists mainly of countries whose nationals were restricted under versions of Trump’s previous travel ban
Last time, those countries included Cuba, Iran, Libya, North Korea, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Venezuela and Yemen.

Trump Administration Prepares to Revive and Expand Travel Bans

President Trump’s first-term policy grew out of his 2015 campaign call to bar Muslims from entering the country and evolved amid court battles.

Luigi, committed to her feral origins, went completely bonkers at her first vet visit in December. Today she is refusing to eat her food, which is laced with the sedative they gave us to prevent mayhem at the next visit. The next hour will determine whether

Oh Kentucky, you fuckied around, and now ye are finding out.

#FAFO #Trump #tariffs

Screenshot of Politico election results from the state of Kentucky, which voted 64.6% in favor of convicted felon President Donald Trump.
Kentucky Bourbon is a great American success story. Distilling is a $9 billion signature industry in the Commonwealth, responsible for more than 23,000 jobs and $2.2 billion in salaries and benefits. Unfortunately, the return of retaliatory tariffs on American whiskey will have far-reaching consequences across Kentucky, home to 85% of the world's Bourbon. That means hard-working Americans — corn farmers, truckers, distillery workers, barrel makers, bartenders, servers and the communities and businesses built around Kentucky Bourbon will suffer. As a distinctive product of the United States, Bourbon cannot be made anywhere else in the world. It truly is America's only native spirit. Bourbon jobs are American jobs, and we grow Bourbon jobs by opening markets across the globe. Retaliatory measures against Bourbon harm these markets and jeopardize growth for years to come, including the unjust and disproportionate removal of American spirits from retail shelves and prohibition on new purchases of alcohol from American companies. Kentucky Bourbon brings people together, and we hope it can be a uniting force in this situation. In the meantime, the Kentucky Distillers’ Association will continue to remind leaders of the far-reaching impact of our signature spirit and our concern for the loss of American jobs. — ERIC GREGORY, KENTUCKY DISTILLERS' ASSOCIATION PRESIDENT
