Smiled to see book from «The Weird Coffee» chap #JamesHoffmann on shelf of local coffee shop & for their barista to be oblivious to James being in #Dubai this weekend…
note: event organised by #BrewingGadgets UAE with showcase of coffee roasting tech by #Bellwether

Alas, I cannot attend tonight’s event where “The Hoff” is speaking - owing to an existing wedding commitment!
AED 500 seat fee is hefty, yet perceive ample historic value from JH’s shared coffee learning!
Not a Monsoon, but it gave me an idea of one.
-
RAIN'S REIN
Leaves descending in Monsoon-like rains
Bellwether of the coming frost
Like salmon I walk upstream
And smile brightly as I
Wave the geese farewell
A rehearsal
For coming
Winter
Days

#Bellwether issues. I have no #political home - if I did, I would evaluate my political theory through loyalty to the programme. That's what I used to do.
Instead of that, I pick bellwether issues to judge my political relationship to other people and orgs. There are many to choose from, here are some of mine:
* #Migrants. My current main bellwether.
* #LGBTQI+. Used to be my gold standard issue, and is still very high up there.
* #Equality. Subsumes many other more specific items such as #women, #BIPOC, #billionaires, so break it down if you like.
* #Privacy.
* #Ukraine.
This is a mechanism to simplify things for myself. Point being, I can develop an internal detection system for figuring out how likely I will be allies with or enemies of another person or org, I just look for clues related to the bellwether. Easy.
#Column: This #bellwether #county picked 11 straight #presidential #winners. Here’s how it views #TrumpvsHarris.
“Anybody that #votes for #Trump,” Viramonte added, “must be #stupid.”
Like the rest of the nation, voters on the Olympic Peninsula of Washington appear evenly split between the two. Many in Clallam County — the last presidential bellwether county in America — can't fathom how anyone thinks differently.
A quotation from McLuhan, Marshall:
«
I think of Art, at its most significant, as a DEW line, a Distant Early Warning system, that can always be relied on to tell the old culture what is beginning to happen to it.

I think of Art, at its most significant, as a DEW line, a Distant Early Warning system, that can always be relied on to tell the old culture what is beginning to happen to it. Based on "conversations" Schickel had with McLuhan. Often cited to McLuhan's breakout work Understanding Media…
@dixon As #WaffleHouse has long been a #bellwether institution, I consider this to be the favorable tipping point for #worker rights in the #US.
