It's obvious that you don't respect Copyright Law and Artist Rights any more than you respect Habeas Corpus and Due Process rights, not to mention the separation of Church and State per the US Constitution. For the record, we hereby order @dhsgov to cease and desist the use of our recording and demand that you immediately pull down your video. Oh, and go f... yourselves, -BRMC View all 547 comments

A bottle of El Jolgorio Tepeztate Mezcal next to a rocks glass of the same, clear spirit. It's a traditional pit-roasted, mule-drawn tahona-crushed, open fermented, double-distilled mezcal from 100% wild-harvested Agave Tepeztate (Agave marmorata). Produced in Santa Maria Zoquitlan, Oaxaca, by mezcalero Ignacio Parada. Crafted from agave harvested at 25 years of age, this mezcal Tepeztate is special. It is known in Zapotec as Du Cual, a reference to the twisted shape of its leaves that catch more water than other agaves, creating less concentrated sugars.

Alcohol sales graph shows an increase from $5B in 2016 to $5.5B in 2019. COVID sparked a $1B surge to approx $6.5B in 2021, then a massive decline to $6B in 2023. The trend line starts to move back up from there, showing a generally consistent growth trend with a wild COVID spike. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2025/03/09/upshot/covid-lockdown-five-year-charts.html

A tall glass of straw-coloured beer with white head. The tall can is next to the glass, its label is black and gold with a creepy wicker human-shape. It's a new beer from strange fellows brewing in Vancouver, Canada called Wickerman West Coast IPA. super-refreshing, but with a bit of spice and pithy grapefruit and amaro-like bitterness. Very good IPA. Bella the rescue dog is in the background looking back at the camera.
