didn't even get that far. it was still half full cos i'd put too much water in n my first attempt and i forgot. so it went all over the floor and cupboard fronts and my trousers
more painful and horrendous = better slapstick as a general rule, for instance i could then have slipped in the puddle of coffee and jammed the aero press down my throat
Most people you meet in everyday life — at work, in the neighborhood — are decent and normal. Even nice. But hit Twitter or watch the news, and you'd think we were all nuts and nasty.
The rising power and prominence of the nation's loudest, meanest voices obscures what most of us personally experience: Most people are sane and generous — and too busy to tweet.
We dug into the data and found that, in fact, most Americans are friendly, donate time or money, and would help you shovel your snow. They are busy, normal and mostly silent. These aren't the people with big Twitter followings or cable-news contracts — and they don't try to pick fights at school board meetings. So the people who get the clicks and the coverage distort our true reality.
On an average weeknight in January, just 1% of U.S. adults watched primetime Fox News (2.2 million). 0.5% tuned into MSNBC (1.15 million).
Nearly three times more Americans (56%) donated to charities during the pandemic than typically give money to politicians and parties (21%).
The bottom line: Every current trend suggests politics will get more toxic before it normalizes. But the silent majority gives us hope beyond the nuttiness.
