Starbucks
id=”article-body” class=”row” section=”article-body” data-component=”trackCWV”> As we get closer and closer to the official we’re seeing more sales beginning to crop up across a whole range of products. Though the 48-hour sale is still a few weeks away, there are already some stellar early on TVs, Apple devices, Android phones, home and kitchen...
MFP is neologisms that get sticky. Cheugy is the latest, being a term that Generation Z calls Millennials, perhaps it’s the revival of more postmodernism. Generation Z consumer-brand attacks on Millennials consumption habits may be all that Gheugy is about. Proud Boys and their golf polos may be Cheugy, if only...
I’m probably a lot closer on the political spectrum to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez than I am to Joe Biden—and not just because I prefer a Starbucks triple venti nonfat soy caramel baby’s blood macchiato to whatever low-rent greasy spoon baby’s blood bevvie Biden drinks. Probably has Sanka in it. Pfft. So I appreciate what AOC is saying...
Herman Cain’s twitter account is now tweeting without acknowledging that he has passed away. Can verified accounts outlive their owners? Hopefully he won’t be requesting any mail-in ballots. Not exactly Timothy Leary but apparently 9-9-9 truly is an inverted version of 666 and reminds us that Herman Cain’s denial of COVID-19’s contagion...
It’s especially hard to organize folks these days. You can’t call a meeting. It’s tough to talk and listen with masks on. Yet suburban folks west of Portland Oregon are organizing against a developer’s plans to build a Chevron gas station/mini-mart adjacent to wetlands, big trees, and a Park Greenway....
In his presser, Trump blamed Portland violence on “professional anarchists” because of course they carry cards noting their memberships, rather than those awful amateur anarchists. There are so darn many of them, so many moms and vets. Too many pro-tips for Trump, because when the going gets weird, the weird turn pro....
From Dean M. Harris at NC Policy Watch: In 2015, U.S. Senator Thom Tillis of North Carolina argued that we don’t need government rules for public health in the food service industry, because the free market would protect public health and safety. As an example, he said that the government...
http://www.cnn.com/… Walmart Stores, including Sam’s Clubs, will require all its customers to wear a mask starting July 20. The world’s largest retailer is joining a growing list of national store chains that require facial coverings as the cases of Covid-19 are increasing at more than 60,000 a day in the United States. The...
Today I took a short break from my home Coronavirus lockdown to restock at a nearby grocery store. Heeding the advice of friends, I first made sure I was protected before heading out. So, I loaded my AR-15 and slung it over my shoulder. It rested comfortably over my Kevlar...
Kitchen Table Kibitzing is a community series for those who wish to share a virtual kitchen table with other readers of Daily Kos who aren’t throwing pies at one another. Drop by to talk about music, your weather, your garden, or what you cooked for supper…. Newcomers may notice that...
Kudos to the North Carolina Democratic Party for reminding voters about this: The pandemic is giving new life to some old comments from North Carolina Republican Senator Thom Tillis. The North Carolina Democratic Party is spotlighting Tillis’ 2015 call to lift public health regulations requiring restaurant workers to wash their hands after...
I talk directly and indirectly to hundreds of people every week. Right wingers troll me ad nauseam. Recently, something strange has begun; I find conservatives trolling my trolls in my defense as I continue to expound our progressive mantra. It is clear to me from my experience in my own community,...
x Trump will be babysat during the #ImpeachmentHearings. ThatâÂÂs all you need to know about the so-called âÂÂCommander-in-Chief.â Pathetic. https://t.co/d0SSe0Il8w pic.twitter.com/ISKdS82n3x — Citizen Resister (@Mean_Adam) November 12, 2019 x WEDNESDAY: Ambassador William Taylor and Deputy Assistant Secretary George Kent testify on Impeach Inquiry before House Intelligence Cmte â LIVE on...
Here we have another indictment of the collapse and corruption of the mainstream Media: the rehabiliation tour of Steve Schmidt on MSNBC. While his friends in the Media are giving him a bear hug, my memory still works. And I have Google. Schmidt crapped all over the Democratic Party with...
It is never too late to be an asshole in an election, but I had forgotten that bad coffee king Howard Schultz had announced he was thinking as running as a “centrist independent” for president in 2020. Turns out that Schultz is taking a “summer hiatus.” Frankly, he can go...
Damn, we sure do love to compare shit in tis country, do’t we? Sports nuts compare stats, standings and schedules until the cows come home. We compare our new car to our old one. We compare our current spouse, boyfriend,girlfriend to our previous one. Hell, we even compare our current...
This has been a momentous, and somewhat difficult, week. Yes, that applies to politics and international relations to be sure, but it also applies to my personal experiences. Last night my wife left for a weekend birding trip with her father and nephew, leaving me to myself. After puttering around,...
So Howard Schultz’s quixotic non-campaign has so far proved to be about as necessary and welcome as a Starbucks inside a Starbucks restroom. And if a recent poll is any indication, it is a venti bad idea indeed. Change Research has come out with a new poll, and Schultz’s favorability...
So, Starbucks CEO and wannabe 2020 spoiler Howard Schultz was at a meet and greet today to test the waters for his Presidential run and got at least one really bad review: x Heckler yells at Howard Schultz: âÂÂDonâÂÂt help elect Trump, you egotistical billionaire asshole!â pic.twitter.com/Fmlj7ng7HD â Keith Boykin...
We need a serious Howard Schultz presidential run like we need another government shutdown. Of course, we could get both. Let’s hope we get neither. Schultz must know his controversial tenure as owner of the Seattle SuperSonics is a major vulnerability as he ramps up for an independent run for president....
I write this sitting in a Starbucks, as my wife prepares for a trip to the Outer Banks for a few day’s respite on this holiday weekend. As of Wednesday I will be 72 years and 8 months old, with my next birthday in 4 months. I am feeling my...
This year, unlike previous years, it feels particularly egregious to suffer Fox News and their moronic flock’s annual persecution complex over f-ing Starbucks red cups (or whatever) after what they did to promote the actual persecution of immigrants and minorities. 2018 will be remembered as a year the GOP went off...
While conservative Christians prepare to celebrate the War on Christmas season — which they clearly relish more than Christmas itself because, well, there aren’t any Jewish socialists in it — they’ve found another cause célèbre to tide them over. It seems an American “missionary” with a death wish tried to make...
Before we all found out that Brett Kavanaugh was a rapey asshole, we discovered he was just an asshole. When Fred Guttenberg, the father of slain Marjory Stoneman Douglas student Jaime Guttenberg, tried to shake Kavanaugh’s hand early on in the SCOTUS confirmation process, Kavanaugh turned his back, barely acknowledging the...
Views on homosexuality differ widely in this country, but the percentage of Americans who think same-sex relations should be flat-out illegal is small and dropping precipitously. Frankly, it’s absurd that anyone thinks sex between consenting adults — no matter what form it takes — should be illegal. In many cases it...
This is what happens when you put a rapey asshole on the Supreme Court, despite every indication that he’s an angry, victim-blaming drunk who’s never atoned for his past. For some reason, women notice. A new ABC News/Washington Post poll gives Democrats a robust 11-point advantage less than a month before...
I don’t believe in magic, miracles, curses, hexes, horoscopes, Ouija boards, the power of prayer, or much of anything supernatural. I believe in technology and phenomena solidly backed by the scientific method, like vaccines, Xenu the evil Galactic Confederacy overlord, and the fact that I can’t wear my Green Bay Packers socks on...
