What do you know today that you didn't know yesterday?

There's a 15-15-15 rule about coffee:

-Green, unroasted coffee should be used within 15 months of harvesting.
-Roasted coffee beans should be used withing 15 days of roasting.
-Ground coffee should be used with 15 minutes of grinding.

I have no intention of following these guidelines.

Biden apparently has some bizarrely eclectic taste in film:



Some of the highlights:

• Movies by Bela Tarr, Gaspar Noe, and Todd Solondz
  
• Southland Tales
  
• Possession
  
• BOCCHI THE ROCK
  
• After Last Season, a movie so bad that its sheer unobtainability* is the only reason I never reviewed it for The Deep Hurting Project.
  
• A strange trans indie epic known as Castration Movie
  

* Fun fact: it ran in four theaters and, at the end of the run, the makers told the theaters to just burn the prints instead of sending them back.

Lady Gaga once remained celibate for a year because she felt that men were stealing her creativity through her vagina.

And presumably women, knowing that she’s bi.

If you haven't heard the new bop from BLACKPINK's Rosé featuring Bruno Mars yet, it will definitely be playing on repeat once you do. The song is called "APT.," and aside from having a catchy beat and fun lyrics, the tune actually references a popular Korean drinking game.

---

After a popular chant kicking off the start of the game (which you can hear at the beginning of the song), everyone says "apateu" in unison while moving their hands to the beat. When the leader calls out a number, all the players stack their hands on top of each other. Then, the group says "one" as the person with their hand on the bottom pulls it out and puts it at the top of the stack. The process repeats until reaching the number the leader said. Whoever moves their hand to the top for that number loses, and has to take a shot. "It's so simple, puts a smile on your face[,] and breaks the ice at any party," the singer Rosé said about her favorite drinking game in a statement, per The Korea Times.

I didn't learn this today, but in making a playlist of K-pop songs I was reminded of it.  I've actually seen it played in a K-drama before I knew what it was.

Soju is typically drunk in shots. That was my mistake. I thought you drank it like beer. Now I want to try it again. I see them mixing soju and beer a lot in K-dramas.

Which interview was this? Because I've found one from Vanity Fair in 2010 and her exact wording was “I have this weird thing that if I sleep with someone they're going to take my creativity from me through my vagina." No mention of men specifically being the culprits.
