My kids school had five core teachers sick the other day so they had to close the school. I made each of them a bottle of elderberry syrup. Community support!

It's basically this: Over the last 15 years, deeply alienated and lonely internet trolls, amplified by influencer grifters and algorithms trained to increase time on metrics by stewing division, convinced huge swathes of American men that every facet of modern life is feminine and, thus, bad.
I... do not understand this new construction of masculinity?
it's not athletic. it's not stoic. it's not handsome. it's not accomplished. it's never been intellectual.
it's just rich white loud dudes on the TV who look like they don't wash their genitals? is that it?

Do you want to drink water all your life and die at 53 (buveur d'eau), or drink wine and die at 63 (buveur de vin)? French-Algerian wine propaganda from the 1930s (note, in 1935, the avg life expectancy in France was 57.7 years; avg per capita wine consumption was 169 liters)

The thing about fascists is, the lies are obvious. Just a micron-thin veneer that crumbles at the simplest bit of research. But telling thousands of them muddies everything, making it easier to grab power. Here's just another example.

This will lead to a correction in this market, and likely many other markets.
Important to know but little known.
Starting in 2021, the producer price index for U.S. wineries has surged, while the consumer wine price index has grown only moderately—leaving behind a large and growing gap.

The Democrats have no problem watching the entire government fall apart if it means they can make a whole bunch of empty promises to fix the destruction in the next election. It's going to be four years of brave tweets and worthless memos as countless Americans die.
