A Happy Thursday to you! Today’s Morning Brew is on the light side, and served up with chocolate-covered cicadas. And humble pie for California’s governor. Gov. Newsom Ordered to Pay L.A. Church $1.35 MillionLooks like it’ll be French fries at McDonalds rather than French Laundry for California Gov. Gavin Newsom. The lockdown lover (except when it comes to his own winery or dining with friends) has to pay $1.35 million to an L.A. church in legal fees. Harvest Rock Church had sued Newsom over his COVID restrictions on places of worship. “This is a momentous day for churches in America,” Pastor Che Ahn said. “After nearly a year-long battle defending our religious freedoms, our lawsuit has reached a permanent settlement in our favor.” California pastor Shane Idleman also fought the church lockdowns tooth-and-nail. Now, he’s back on The Stream with his latest, “The Cry of the Prophets — A Call to Anguish.” BONUS BREW: Catholic Priest Who Fought Lockdowns Being Removed BONUS BREW: HuffPost White House Correspondent Says Jan 6. Capitol Riot Was “1000 Percent Worse” Than 9/11 New York Times “Science and Health” Reporter Thinks Wuhan Lab Leak Theory Has “Racist Roots” and Isn’t “Plausible” Apoorva Mandavilli is a science and health reporter for the New York Times. Judging from a Wednesday tweet, she has about as much business writing about science as a Brood X cicada does writing about basketball. Even as Joe Biden admits the intelligence community is split on the issue, and proof emerges several workers at the Wuhan Institute of Virology had COVID before the outbreak hit the public, Mandavilli still tweeted: “Someday we will stop talking about the lab leak theory and maybe even admit its racist roots. But alas that day is not here.” Yes. COVID-19 emerged in China within spitting distance of a Chinese lab messing with the COVID virus, whose Chinese workers became sick with COVID. But saying, “Gee, maybe the COVID-19 virus escaped from there” is racist. Alas, the day is here when using the NY Times to line bird cages is degrading to birds. It’s Official! CNN Has Now Lost Almost 70% Of Its Audience Since Trump Left Office The prime time audience for CNN continues to plummet.

Just in Time for Your Memorial Weekend Picnic: Chocolate-Covered Cicadas!What are we to make of the billions of Brood X cicadas making such a racket across a large chunk of the nation? How about dessert? Maryland’s Chouquette Chocolates is crafting chocolate-covered cicadas for customers. Yes, both milk and dark chocolate. Owner Sarah Dwyer even offered up a recipe video: - Gather new cicadas into jar
- Freeze
- Boil for 10 seconds
- sprinkle with oil and spice of your choice
- Airfry for 3 mins
- Cool and cover with chocolates
- Enjoy?
What spices? Well, it’s Maryland, so naturally Old Bay is a favorite. And the taste? Like a chocolate-covered potato chip. "It's really crunchy because we air-fry them," Dwyer told WBAL.
