In the age known then as "The End of History", the land was ruled by a King and Queen.
The Queen was incredibly ambitious, and looked forward to the day she would rule alone.
"I will craft the most perfect plot, and my ascendancy will be an inevitability.
"And though my foes will see it coming, they will be powerless to stop it."

When the King passed, the Queen moved her court to a great island citadel.
There she marshaled her forces, though she ignored the troubles of her kingdom.
When all was ready, her great and splendid host marched from her stronghold,
Only to be wiped out in a cornfield by a half-drow Warlord.

The Warlord desired unity, and made the Queen his advisor.
Biting her tongue, the Queen convinced the Warlord that she should be restored to the throne.
In time, her forces were restored, with the singular goal of achieving this one goal.
It was this dedication that allowed her army to barely bring the quarrelsome people to heel.

"At last!" she exclaimed, breaking a pane of glass to commemorate her final triumph to come.
"It is my turn to rule, and all signs point to ultimate victory.
"The people will love and cherish my reign of reason and enlightenment."
Those were her last words as she was decapitated by a red hat.

lovely, sourced product with few redeeming qualities sold to rich liberals at an enormous markup using a marketing strategy that's 80% "slick" branding and 20% outright fabrications

yeah, that sounds about right

Except that rye was probably just rebottled and labeled like almost all "craft" whiskeys.

100% chance that it's sourced, 99.99% chance that its either MGP distillate or Canadian

just cheap stuff at a massive markup to trick hipsters into paying for incredibly ironic "authentic" branding

hey whoa, a passing 3/5. this rye is clearly more competent than hillary

"Aged at least one year. $70/750ml."

one-year-old rye of undisclosed origin for $70, yeah thats even worse than i thought

quote:

Also how does mixing whiskey make it stronger than the individual parts? It's literally dilution

in this case it's just a gimmick to plaster over the fact that it's a sourced product. however, the art of making good whiskey relies heavily on blending, whether it's all from the same distillery or from several. every barrel is unique and knowing which ones will work well together, hide each other's weaknesses and bring out particular characteristics, etc. is very important. there are some legitimate producers that actually bring a lot to the table just by sourcing and blending really good stuff. Compass Box is probably the best example--that's scotch, tho

Is there a contingent of Twitter Dems that just search for any mention of Bernie Sanders so they can trot out how much they hate him because he's got a lake house bought by Russian bank fraud money for costing Clinton the election? Invariably the first response to any news story or pundit is someone making GBS threads on him.

Yeah there actually is, and they're largely crazier than what's posted here would suggest.

What do Jacobin writers get paid? Serious question.

A lot of the articles are submitted by freelance writers/academia/labor movement folks who presumably receive a fee. No idea what their core editorial staff makes, probably not much but it's part and parcel w/ being in a cause. You don't make much as a union organizer, either. I doubt they're paying a ton to their EIC or top exec or whoever is in charge FWIW, they aren't exactly loaded.
