What's the true call?
You know, the true call. I know when I hear it.
— Anything else you want to add?
— Yeah, there's something else.
To all you workers out there.
Every single commodity you produce is a piece of your own death.

If you’ve historically been a “vote blue no matter who” type, it’d be cool if you could use this moment to understand why vilifying leftists who actually do think it matters is basically a psyop you accidentally fell for. This is why people warn you about guys like Newsom.

Hey @vinepair.com, Keith Beaver’s argument about natural wine in Wine 101 recently is explicitly bad faith. I’ve seen the “there isn’t a definition” argument a lot from anti natural wine folks and it rings hollow each time.

Paired Bandol Rosé with sichuan veggie dumplings last night & it was an amazing match. I’m not quite sure how it worked, but it increased perception of fruit & sweetness & increased body in a kinda creamy round way. I assume acidity in the sauce? Would love if folks weighed in on this #winesky

I've not ever used gendered descriptions for wine and haven't been around others that do, but could see it happening in certain circles and it feels silly and like a way to enforce gendered stereotypes of wine consumption which I would argue harms the industry more then helps it.

The way The Bear approaches wine is so upsetting. Season 4 shows a $90 wine next to a $14 Trader Joe’s wine in their cellar, later the same episode they’re naming bottles and listing BTG prices for them and price a more accessible Bordeaux for $45 a glass compared to a more expensive Barolo for $18

We have a madman in the White House who is actively trying to trigger total war.
If Jeffries, Schumer, or any other Democratic leaders try to justify this, shrug indifferently, or write a strongly-worded letter and call it a day, they need to step down or be aggressively primaried.

Embarrassing to admit but I'd never listened to Marvin Gaye's What's Going On until tonight and holy shit, it's one of the most beautiful artistic albums I've ever heard. Shout out to @tinnycat.bsky.social for turning off the tv show that referenced it mid episode so we could listen to it
