always hilarious how incapable we are at realizing there could be a reason beyond American Decline for us not having the same things

San Pablo has some great architecture, if you know where to look

all i am asking celebrities for is to develop one weird passion and become a fixture of a niche topic area

Pretty crazy how important the blockade of a trade route is right now

this is the stuff that Thomas Friedman won't shut up about lol

this conflict is stupid, wrong, and infuriating

Karl Marx on the American Civil War:

There is a miserable little cold going around CA and woe to anyone who gets it (me)

I’m sick of this goddamn city, county, state, and country thinking that we need the state to provide everything but also somehow working ourselves into the idea that None Of Us Need To Contribute To It Financially

It's becoming increasingly obvious why no US president prior to Trump II ever gave Netanyahu the big war with Iran he's been demanding since 2002.

boy in retrospect, really shouldn’t have elected the worst person in the entire country president. that, it appears, was less than wise

Your fugitive’s name is Dr. Richard Kimble

It’s called Keeping Your Shit Together Thursday. It’s where you keep your shit together on a Thursday instead of crashing the fuck out and driving your car into the median.

My grandpa reached the pinnacle of assimilation: retiring early after being an executive at several failing companies and became a gentleman farmer in Vermont. Unfortunately I think that means I’m running.

made me chuckle.

volume of grapes, equipment, storage for ageing all fairly expensive but plenty of small brands do great stuff. I recommend attending Raw Wine, Wine Flair - you end up trying a ton of cool small brands you won't see elsewhere

indie winemakers are often purchasing small parts of vineyards in different regions to make some really cool stuff- there's an explosion in semillon and carignan blends happening this year that's absolutely delicious and fairly new in CA

and then on the truly home brewing, oh there's plenty of! just doesn't produce a lot. Much easier to make fortified spirits from wine but a good homebrew natural wine is perfectly doable but will almost always be funky

there's also a craft wine movement in the west! Berkeley, Richmond, Lodi, Paso Robles, and a bunch of Sonoma producers are doing 'craft'... just a lot different distribution model - small batch and often with membership programs

The degree to which Trump is just riffing/winging it on the war is really something to behold. Just kinda..musing
