Nice recipe. The first cocktail I learned to make (at age seventeen) was the old fashioned that my grandma liked. My dad kept Seagrams VO around for her but that side of the family was not picky. I’ll try this when I get some Maker’s Mark.
Drink question: since I’m out of vermouth and every other mixer at the moment, what cocktail would you suggest for bourbon, rye, vodka, amaro cherries, and a jar of Kalamata olives? Surely there’s a Greek martini out there.
Representative Jerrold Nadler, a New York Democrat who has been one of Congress’s leading liberal voices for three decades, will not seek re-election next year, heeding a call for generational change roiling his party.
The decision will mark the close of a 34-year congressional career that put Mr. Nadler at the center of major civil rights battles and three presidential impeachments. It will also almost certainly touch off a crowded primary fight over a rare open Democratic seat in the heart of Manhattan.
In a recent interview in his downtown Manhattan office, Mr. Nadler, 78, said he hesitated to step aside when he believes that President Trump is threatening the foundations of democracy. But he said he had been persuaded it was time for a changing of the guard...
Unfailingly voluble in his left-leaning views, Mr. Nadler will not quickly be replaced. The yeshiva-educated son of a chicken farmer, he fought his way into Manhattan politics with a group of Vietnam-era reformers known as the West Side Kids while still a student at Columbia University. He has played a role in many of the biggest political and cultural debates since, including recently endorsing Zohran Mamdani for mayor of New York City...
When he showed up at the House’s impeachment proceedings against Mr. Trump in 2021 carrying a grocery bag from Zabar’s, he went viral. Asked what was inside, he answered: “A babka and the Constitution, what else?"
If Donnie's tariffs are illegal, the government will have to refund the money to the businesses who paid them. Wall Street being Wall Street, they've already bought and bundled "refund rights" for investors to buy and sell.
Paul Krugman, commenting on this, makes a hilarious observation:
Better get ICE ICE Barbie to build a couple more concentration camps. The number of corrupt people in the Orangini administration is growing exponentially. This is just fucking nuts: selling a financial instrument that *bets* the government will eventually have to pay BACK all the tariffs that Orangini instituted. Talk about cynical greed.
Not only selling a financial instrument that bets the goverment will eventually have to pay back alll the tariffs, but to have the son of the fucker who is MAKING the tariffs sell said thing.
It's mind boggling. Christ on a cracker, a Democrat trying to pull something like this would have been screamed at by the press. A Republican and their call is "well, what are the Democrats doing about it"
Ashley Hamrick’s doctor was trying to get to the bottom of something: Why, exactly, did Ms. Hamrick want to get off birth control? “Are you feeling any side effects?”
No, that wasn’t it. Ms. Hamrick, who was 26 at the time, felt normal. No unusual weight gain, no mood swings. But a couple of questions had wormed their way into her mind and lodged themselves there: Who am I without birth control? Will I feel some sort of difference coming off it?
Ms. Hamrick had started taking birth control pills a decade earlier, when she was 15. Now, as she browsed her social media feeds, she kept stumbling on videos of women saying how much better they felt when they stopped taking the pills, content she wasn’t seeking out. The posts typically went like this: a glowing blonde in a workout top — the picture of health! — saying that she had stopped taking birth control pills and immediately felt more clarity of mind. Like an emotional fog had lifted, like she was a brand-new, much happier person.
Ms. Hamrick’s doctor was clear with her. If she wasn’t experiencing any side effects, there was no reason to stop taking birth control. Ms. Hamrick wasn’t so sure. The more videos about the pill she watched, the more skeptical she became, and the more she felt drawn toward experimenting. She was, after all, in a moment of change. She had moved, on a whim, from Indiana to Texas. Soon after settling near Houston she met a guy and they started dating, then looking at engagement rings.
Just over a year since Ms. Hamrick decided to stop taking the pills, she has figured out who she is without birth control: She is a mother. Her baby is four months old...
When I was a teenager, I had awful cramps the first few days of my period. Mama couldn't understand it, as she had never had that trouble, but Grandma had, and advised taking me to a doctor. Thank goodness for Grandma, Mama taking her advice, and an understanding doctor! He put me on birth control and no more cramps! I was much healthier and happier being on the pill. Same with some of my friends, who had the same problem, or had irregular periods or both.
...Alex Clark, the popular Turning Point USA podcaster, has suggested that the way women are prescribed birth control is indirectly linked to “major fertility issues” (because of the underlying health issues it might mask), or that birth control can change who women are attracted to (“*whispers* the birth control pill can falsely make women feel bisexual,” Ms. Clark posted on X), which doctors say is untrue. In an appearance on Joe Rogan’s show, Calley Means, now an adviser to Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., said that the medical industry views birth control as “recurring revenue”: “Oh interesting,” Mr. Means said with a conspiratorial lilt. “You can actually convince someone to take a pill for years, for almost most of their life.”...
Earlier this year, a study by public health researchers at La Trobe University found that among the top 100 TikTok videos about reproductive health, just 10 percent were from medical professionals, and about 50 percent of creators made comments rejecting hormonal contraception. The top 100 most popular posts on TikTok about birth control had amassed some five billion views...
She did, but she was influenced by bullshit as so many are.
You and I, we might listen to boring fucks like Liz Warren or that tossbadger Hawking, but some people listen to people in athletic tops who talks their language.
I see that she was influenced by bullshit. Even still, if you want to experiment with not taking birth control, and aren't looking to have kids (and it sounds like she wasn't), there are steps she should have taken to help with that experiment.
I don't think that would have helped in this case. It doesn't sound like she had any trouble with her birth control until the wrong social media nonsense got in her head.
...“I decided to cut it cold turkey,” Ms. Hamrick recalled, “Which I know they don’t always tell you to do.” Right away, she felt a burst of new energy. Her brain seemed less foggy. She didn’t start a new method of birth control. “We weren’t being the most safe on not having kids,” she said. “From time to time, we used condoms.” Four months later, she was pregnant...
Recently, Ms. Hamrick went back on birth control pills. “I don’t want to get pregnant again,” she told her doctor."
I never felt any different when I went off birth control. But that was in 1988, when my husband and I decided to try to have a baby, and there wasn't any nonsense about feeling better without birth control.
BTW, does she mention if the new energy and less fogginess lasted?
Well, I again dreamed I had a horse to ride to and from work. In my dreams I also work in the movie theater part time where I worked as a teen. The horse is awesome--brown with white socks and a saddle. I wish I had a horse in real life.

Wednesday, hell. I'm making this now, except no Noccino.
Try maple syrup instead.
OK, we did that. It was a little too sweet, but I'll try again with a little less of both sugar elements.
Cocktails are fun!
I just remembered we're out! It's going on the list. Drink was pretty tasty with the double-amaretto substitution. It took some sips to get the bitters right - the bottle wouldn't produce "dashes" only "droplets". But I'm now going to explore this walnut bitters flavor some more.
Please collect your posts into a book on cocktails. i may be old fashioned, but I still love holding a book in my hands. These posts are memorable, Mr. Hooper!
If all goes according to plan, I hope to take the winter off from my second job and write the book.
Nice recipe. The first cocktail I learned to make (at age seventeen) was the old fashioned that my grandma liked. My dad kept Seagrams VO around for her but that side of the family was not picky. I’ll try this when I get some Maker’s Mark.
There's no noccino available in Oregon but there is a nocello, would that work?
You are working on an Orange Blight pop off drink, right?
The opposite of orange is blue, so curacao on the rocks?
I don’t indulge in wishful drinking.
Dude, I gotta make this. But today's a dry day. I will add walnut bitters to the shopping list. I need to see if we have amaretto already.
But today's a dry day...
WTF is that?

Wednesday, I drink!
Drink question: since I’m out of vermouth and every other mixer at the moment, what cocktail would you suggest for bourbon, rye, vodka, amaro cherries, and a jar of Kalamata olives? Surely there’s a Greek martini out there.
Someone actually made me a martini with kalamata olives once.
(... it was not good.)
I love both those things
but I do not believe they are to be combined
Pour 1/2 oz of the syrup from the amaro cherries into a mixer with 2 1/2 oz rye and 2 shakes bitters.
I save the syrup from the Luxardo cherries for this exact thing.
Or a sandwich…
that office of yours (or at least the ceiling) looks pretty darn cool
Glad you're enjoying the new gig, mate!
Thank you Matthew for bringing us drinks even on your day off
All my friends in Kentucky are extra grateful

He does. I'm hoping he has someone in mind to replace him.
Knowing him he will be very hands off in the primary. That way no one can accuse him of selecting his successor or swaying the primary or anything.

So, she didn't really think things through, did she?

We both know that and I ain't gonna speak for women.
I will speak for one woman anyway. She was an idiot.
And very very actually fucked around and found out.
The doctor could have given her different BC, that's for sure.
I don't think that would have helped in this case. It doesn't sound like she had any trouble with her birth control until the wrong social media nonsense got in her head.
From the article:

Probably went away when the baby arrived.
Well, stopping birth control by acting like it's an addictive drug is the most ridiculous thing I've heard since I don't remember when.

"worth"
Trump put his name on something that's losing money? This is un presidented.
It's made billions for his vile foetid spawn and himself, but it's fucked everyone else.
WLFI is a multilayer scam predicated on PAB becoming Prez.
First launch it as a non-tradable token in the US where anyone else can buy it.
That's the genesis stage and used for bribery from other countries and to a lesser extent from US entities.
Then PAB is prez, and float on NASDAQ and now those magical beans are tradable as if they were real securities.
Who holds a quarter of all extant "securities"?
Not that this shit is backed by anything.
"𝘍𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘥𝘰𝘮 + 𝘧𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦 + 𝘈𝘮𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘢 𝘍𝘐𝘙𝘚𝘛,” = gigantic scam
They made five billion dollars with this float. Fucking crime family.
