Good morning πŸŒ„ β˜•

14Β° C / 58Β° F and sunny β˜€οΈ with 52% humidity and 3 km/h wind in Fremont, California

Interior daytime photo of a 12-ounce mug with coffee latte on a gray diatomaceous-earth coaster on an off-white desk mat on a maple desk surface. The mug is dark-blue stoneware inside and out, with an off-white rim/lip. Its handle is dark-blue and rectangular. A copper-colored illustration faces the viewer, its main focus being text "Temple"--the first half of business name "Temple Coffee" in Sacramento, California--in sans-serif block letters. The illustration shows a wavy aurora borealis illuminating the silhouette of a wintry, jagged mountain range at bottom. A few stars dot the sky. 

A succulent plant is at the corner of the desk, behind the mug and to the right.

Daytime interior photo of a white, 3 ounce, ceramic espresso (demitasse) cup with a shot of espresso, on a gray diatomaceous-earth coaster on an off-white desk mat on a maple desk surface. The blue text on the cup reads "Cyber-Physical Systems Research Center" and wraps in a circle around the logo, which looks like a loosely interlaced, rounded triquetra with thick knots in solid red, yellow, and blue (each its own color).

@erikcieslewicz Wonder if Frank Conniff moving back to Minneapolis had anything to do with (or will have implications for) the MST3K reboot

OK, so somehow they knew exactly how to get me 100% back on board with . The description even says "The entire production will take place this spring/summer in Minnesota… We'll be building all-new, hand-crafted sets and props.”

Put it directly into my veins. kickstarter.com/projects/rifft

Once again, I'm reminded that my longstanding "don't go to private billionaire underage sex islands" policy has been pretty well vindicated.

Thank you everyone for suggested books! With help from @scottjenson, I turned it into a page on my website, hoping that maybe it will help someone in the future:

New coffee beans from Boast Coffee Co., San Jose, California:

boastcoffee.com/product-page/g

Tasting Notes: Milk Chocolate, Caramel, Citrus

Bought at their stand near The Midwife and The Baker in Mountain View

Interior daytime photo of a coffee cup with espresso in front of a pouch of coffee beans.

The cup is a white, 3 ounce, ceramic espresso (demitasse) cup with a shot of espresso, on a black desk mat on a cherry-veneer desk surface. The blue text on the cup reads "Cyber-Physical Systems Research Center" and wraps in a circle around the logo, which looks like a loosely interlaced, rounded triquetra with thick knots in solid red, yellow, and blue (each its own color). 

The pouch is a brown-paper coffee pouch. It's logo is a black-inked circle with the word "BOAST" in large sans-serif block letters, centered horizontally and slightly wider than the diameter of the circle, so it looks more exuberant. Inside the circle, text "Coffee Co." appears in a similar-but-smaller font underneath "Boast". 

A rectangular yellow label at the bottom of the pouch describes the beans. All text is in black sans-serif block letters, except where noted. Details:
(at left, first row; serif block letters) Guatemala / ASOPCE (an aside: this stands for "Association of Special Coffee Producers of Huehuetenango", a city and municipality in the highlands of western Guatemala; end aside) / Medium Roast. (at right, first row): Organic fairtrade coffee / Whole bean / Chocolate-Caramel -Citrus. (second row) Roasted on: 12/22/25 / 10 oz / 283g. (Third row) www.boastcoffee.com.

This book connects the horrors of caste violence across cultures and time. Incredible work.
