Don’t eat the onion.

Fellas, is it gay to speak Gaulish?

I’m all for sanctioning them too. Economic sanctions are the bare minimum we should be doing to genocidal authoritarians.

Political agenda is a funny euphemism for imperialist invasion and genocide.

I started a Bochet Cyser this month; really looking forward to seeing how it tastes. Its my first bochet and first cyser, so really exploring new territory.

I’ve got my Tang ferment that I mentioned in my other post and some Fireweed wine, which is basically a sugar wine, but its bright fuchsia.

Currently mulling over ideas for what to do with all the blueberries I’ve harvested. I’ll probably just be boring and make a wine but if anyone has any dumb ideas I’d love to try them.

I’m currently brewing up a batch of Tang! We’ll know in a week or so if it was a success.

I’m hoping the synthetic chemicals that give it a citrus flavor are anathema to my yeast so I’ll have something refreshing in a month or so.

Autobrewery syndrome is rare and probably has more to do with your diet and antibiotic use than consuming a few actively fermenting drinks.

Some drinks like pulque are traditionally drunk that way and that’s why they can’t be shipped long distances. So if its been done by other cultures for thousands if years, I’m not a doctor, but I’m gonna wager its fairly safe.

It was only a gallon. The disappointment is mostly that I won’t have a really weird drink this year.

I’ve heard cider can be made with unripe apples. Might be worth a shot.

I’ve got my continuous brew of kombucha going for my daily consumption.

On the more interesting side, I’ve got some spruce tip mead going which I’m hoping turns out well. There was a little bit of a scare where I was concerned it could be infected, but it seems fine.

Sadly, I was doing an experiment with sea lovage spiced mead which succumbed to mold and needed to be dumped. Something to retry next year.

This year’s berry harvest is basically FUBAR. Global warming did a number on it so now there’s near zero salmonberries and the ones which did appear are partially desiccated or only half ripe. So no salmonberry wine this year, probably even not enough for jam :(

Blueberries are way too early, but they’re tasting fine at least. I’ll probably try a blueberry wine or mead. Encountered a few hiccups last year because of their acidity, but I’m better equipped this year so hopefully that turns out well and I can bottle some stuff for the winter.

neither party when elected do anything meaningful to secure the border or deport illegals.

It might shock you to learn the best way to prevent immigration is to make the countries experiencing outflows more stable and liveable, but I’m gonna take a wild guess you don’t like foreign aid.

maintain demographics

There sure was a lot of hand wringing before you wrote down what your actual problem with immigration was.

Pray tell what is the ideal demographic make up if the United States?

Imagine branding yourself with the image of a way to circumvent state authority only to lick the boot at the first opportunity.

Every year is the hottest on record too. The stakes in elections never go down and the problems only pile on.

I’d vote for a literal corpse with a (D), but there’s voters who are somehow undecided or ambivalent about fascism. The fact remains that the polling shows this hurts Biden in required swing states which is extremely concerning.

American Nations is probably the worst pop-history books I’ve had the displeasure of reading. Its chock full of backwards rationalizations, just-so narratives, and glaring misconstructions and omissions.

Any assessment of modern society based on this author is immediately suspect and we should honestly stop letting him write for any serious publication.

Excellent, now we have a reason to chant “USA 🇺🇲 USA 🇺🇲” until we sink due to rising sea levels.

Realistically any Libertarian dedicated enough to show up to a party conference is probably a member of the 1% of the US population that votes for them in general elections.

Now when I’m lazy and don’t support some standards in my open source projects, I’m just going to say its for security.

So we’re using Bush era torture to justify inaction against fascism? Idk man seems a little weird.

I get voting isn’t enough and half the problem is people often limiting their involvement in society to a ballot once every four years, but I’d really like to prevent The Palestinian Chair from being used on anyone deemed an enemy of the state by a man who is talking about deporting 11 million people.

404 Media is worker owned; you should pay them.

Casablanca. Its a classic.
