What brand makes good tea, in your opinion? (I feel like I should push my box of PG Tips into the back of the kitchen cabinet. I'm American and drink a lot of matcha green tea so what do I know.)
Where I live there are a couple of tea blenders that make various different loose leaf offerings.
You can get good loose leaf on amazon too from (e.g.) teapigs or whittard.
In my experience, the trick with loose leaf is to not to get the ones that have been ground too finely, as they make a too strong brew and the bits can pass through the filter leaving you with a dusty cuppa.
I will admit though… sometimes I want a quick tea, and I may just make a pg tips… not as good, but less faff than getting the tea pot ready etc
Hes not sorry for what he said. Hes sorry that it went viral and people called him out.
Fuck this guy.
Seasick Steve has a lyric in the song “Last Po’ Man” where he says “Never met a rich man that I liked” and the more I read about billionaires, the more it seems he was right lol.
Survivors of crimes committed by the 1970s military junta in Argentina are fighting to see a priest stand trial for his alleged role in kidnappings and torture against opponents of the regime.
The military junta led by Jorge Videla which seized power targeted anyone who opposed the dictatorship and an estimated 30,000 people were killed before the transition to democracy in 1983.
However, as part of that trial, four former detainees - among them Mario Bracamonte - testified that Father Franco Reverberi, an Italian national by birth, had been a regular at the clandestine detention centre.
In 2007, Christian von Wernich, a Catholic priest who worked as a chaplain for the police in Buenos Aires province, was found guilty of complicity in seven murders and dozens of kidnappings and instances of torture.
Twenty-five-year-old student Manuel Furlan says he was “deeply ashamed” when he found out that “a person accused of those crimes, and a priest at that, was originally from and lives in my village”.
The niece of disappeared activist José Guillermo Berón says that she hopes that “justice will finally be done, even if he will never really pay for the enormous damage he has caused since he has lived almost his entire life with total impunity”.

“And if he really committed crimes as heinous as those he is accused of, I wonder how he can continue to be a priest with that weight on his conscience,” - that’s what people have to get: it’s not that they’re in organized religion despite they did horrible things, they are in it BECAUSE they did it. They feel protected and righteous, all the time. We have to end this. The real monsters are always right behind the so-called prophets to organize everything.
He brought it up with Modi in private in India before he left. Explains why the mood of the public meeting was so grumpy
Mr Trudeau said in parliament on Monday that he had raised the issue of Mr Najjar’s killing with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the recent G20 summit in Delhi.
So, anybody else expecting that if this guy gets power with a controlled house and senate, too, the first thing they’ll do is a national ban on abortion… and he’ll sign it like the dumb mook that he is?
It will be the third or fourth thing. Donny is going to consolidate power first and gut the government of anyone who is not directly loyal to him. This includes the military (why do you think they have a single Senator with a filibuster on approving appointments and we have 3 of joint Chiefs positions unfilled.)
Once he does that he’ll come for abortion rights or any other right he doesn’t agree with. Not to mention tax breaks for corporations and the 1% will be on the menu.
MAGA masses of course will eat it up as owning the libs.
Germany has outlawed Hammerskins, a neo-Nazi group known for its role in organising far-right concerts and selling racist music.
The German authorities described the ban as “a hard blow against organised right-wing extremism” and said it was putting an end to “the inhumane actions of an internationally active neo-Nazi association”.
The group has, for example, been linked to a venue called Hate Bar in the western German state of Saarland, where police made arrests for the showcasing of banned symbols during far-right concerts as recently as April this year.
The German domestic intelligence agency previously said the group had also set up Germany’s biggest far-right martial arts event, called Fight of the Nibelungs, which has been banned since 2019.
Blood and Honour had close contacts to members of a neo-Nazi group that carried out 10 racially motivated murders in Germany.
Germany’s domestic intelligence agency estimates there are 38,800 people in the country’s right-wing extremist scene, with more than a third of them considered “potentially violent”.
