Good thing I mostly drink Irish and Canadian whiskeys. I will miss the bourbon section though
I stopped by the liquor store to say farewell to the massive selection of Kentucky bourbon on the shelves.
We are the number one export market for Kentucky spirits. On Tuesday, all American booze is being pulled off the shelves.
We will drink Canadian whiskey.
True. North. Strong. Free of bourbon.

Season 7 of Fear the Walking Dead was such a shitshow but I can't stop thinking about it. As much as I think the plot and characters were downright assassinated, the themes explored are actually pretty interesting. Very Benjaminian, actually

Unfair relationship? Like, yeah. That's America. We were just spoiled for too long

🚨 Important thread 🚨
there is no reforming the democratic party, no salvaging their reputation. if you want to build towards a better world, join a local tenants union / mutual aid group, or find the people (they definitely exist) who are trying to make one. these community-centric vanguards are where the future lives.

Maybe living under a rock a bit but since when was Anonymous taken over by libs? Was it always like that?
If you value Canada, democracy, support European freedom, and a Ukrainian victory over Russia, it's time for everyone to back Chrystia Freeland.
Currently MAGA and Russian troll farms are attacking her and flooding all her posts. This is who they are scared of. #cdnpoli

Not the return of fascism, that's been going on for years now, but the fact that privileged libs are finally realizing it
