@backpackandsnorkel Longjing is a very fine green indeed, yes, but I'm more partial to the category of 云雾 (cloud and mist) teas from the high mountain areas: 庐山(Lushan), 峨眉山 (Emeishan) and other such places. I find them a little less finicky and prissy as teas go; more forgiving of deviation from the "perfect" technique.

If someone else is making the tea and has practice with it, Longjing all the way! But for my own uses, Longjing only when I have the time to focus and concentrate.

Biden today actually:

“It is dangerous and irresponsible for anyone to say this was rigged… the justice system should be respected and we should not let anyone tear it down.”

WHAT ABOUT THE ICJ AND THE ICC YOU ABSOLUTE 🤡

@LALegault But that's different! That's … anti-American! Or something! I'll get our spin doctors at work to explain it with enough bafflegab that most people will just give up and accept it…

All this time, Biden and the Democrats sucked up to Joe Manchin to keep him happy.

How'd that work out?

But vote blue no matter who, right?

@angiebaby I think the USA is reaching the point where the only rational choice at the election is to vote "FUCK NO!" at the ballot with the weapon of your choice.

America: You need to have health insurance!

Me: Cool, that makes sense, but it's going to cover my whole body, right?

America: Depends, do you use your teeth and eyes?

@RickiTarr Ah. The Canadian solution.

angiebaby, to punk
@angiebaby@mas.to avatar

We live as we dream, alone
To crack the shell we mix with the others
Some flirt with fascism
Some lie in the arms of lovers

We live as we dream, alone
The space between our work and its product
Some fall into fatalism
As if it started this way

Gang of Four
"We Live As We Dream, Alone"
1982

@angiebaby Ouch. What an unfortunate choice of name...

Were they deliberately named after the Cultural Revolution gang of thugs or was this an unhappy coincidence?

@angiebaby Ah, OK, so it was a deliberate choice, not unfortunate happenstance. Got it.

@angiebaby Well, yeah, punk was (almost) all about provocation. I was never really clear on what "post punk" meant beyond "we're tired of punk" so I'm not sure what it stands for, despite listening to a lot of bands labelled "post punk".

@angiebaby So punk after the artists grew up. Gotcha. :D

To me it's still punk then. I never bought into the thesis that you had to suck to be punk.
