When I was a kid I highly underestimated the number of idiots in this country. I never thought we'd have such stupid, incompetent, criminal, corrupt, and negligent leaders... and that so many would still support them. These past 10 years have been maddening. I just want a moment to breathe.

A customer gave me a "Believe in change" button using Ted Lasso's yellow Believe sign. Turns out he's a Republican running for local office and he's using these for his campaign. This feels like fraud...

If and when we have a legitimate federal government, Zelensky should be awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom. He's done more for western democracy than anybody in recent memory.

Trump loves to rename things since he's such an incredible narcissist. I have a suggestion: all data centers are now Trump Bot Farms.

Just remember, all the big tech social media companies have been colluding with Trump, Putin, & Netanyahu. They've allowed bots to spread right wing disinformation for years. They could stop it if they wanted to. They are all complicit.

Hey #RCTID, its gameday, what are you drinking? I have a recommendation:

Republicans: Trump doesn't support Russia Trump: Hold my beer

Zach | Somm at the Vineyard @azachurateman.bsky.social · 11/10/2026
At this point, anybody claiming that Trump's ties to Russia are just "a hoax" are simply being willfully ignorant.

If you've been holding onto that champagne for awhile, crack it open for the former Speaker of the House/Child Rapist kicking the bucket. Take the wins when we get them. There's plenty more champagne for the big one.

...Her specific torture was that no one would ever believe her prophecies. She was forced to watch her worst nightmares happen in real time, unable to change the outcome." That myth hits way too close to home.

Having a good grasp on history feels like a curse right now. Specifically, I'm thinking of the myth of Cassandra of Troy; "cursed by Apollo to see the future with absolute accuracy—including the brutal destruction of her city and the deaths of her family...

Stop saying wealth redistribution and start saying wealth correction. Republican policies have stolen workers wages for over 40 years and awarded it to billionaires.

I went to Ithaca College, in the same town as Cornell. Back then it was well known to be careful if you went to a Cornell frat party. I've never wanted anything to do with Greek life between the rape, hazing, and complete douche culture. I'd be happy to see Greek life banned.

54% of U.S. adults read below a 6th grade level. I guarantee you AI is not the answer to America's illiteracy problem. Education is. BTW, Low literacy levels cost the United States up to $2.2 trillion each year in lost economic productivity.

I suspect one reason Trump wants to demolish the Kennedy Center is to steal the marble for his "Triumphal Arch". Its always theft and self-aggrandizement.

Greed and the drive for short term profit is dooming civilization. We need a sea change of philosophy. Industrialists are literally destroying the planet in order to horde wealth and resources. These people are the enemy of civilization.

So happy that this wine finally exists! This has been a personal passion project for years. Thank you to the 107IST, especially Annie, Gabby, and Colin for their hard work on getting this label produced. Of course, thank you to my entire Sidereus team, especially our winemaker Jason Bull. Cheers!

Are you kidding me? You haven’t seen the plethora of Democratic Senators and reps praising Lyndsay Graham in their comments on his passing? Cory Booker for one, but there are many more.

crimes. Republicans are traitors to the Constitution. Treat them as such. I don't want to hear about what a "great person" Lindsay Graham was. He was a traitorous and self serving POS. 2/2

I really wish Democrats in office would stop with the norms and decorum and quit pretending that Republicans are honorable public servants. They've been dismantling our Constitution, they support a felon who caused an insurrection against our legitimate government not to mention his many other... 1/

So sad to hear about Sam Neill's passing this morning. As a Xennial, his role in Jurassic Park is a core memory, but of course he had a long remarkable career...

Remember: No taxation without representation. The tariffs are illegal taxes. Gerrymandering for racist or partisan reasons is also denying people representation. The republican led government is ignoring the people for their own power and profit. The solution? Revolution.

So here I am, humbly recommending that you eat shit because there’s nobody else on the planet that deserves to eat shit as much as you! *Note for the idiots: This is satire, though billionaires should still eat shit.
020
Zach | Somm at the Vineyard @azachurateman.bsky.social · 28/04/2026
You may be thinking, “that doesn’t sound safe”, but c’mon, you’re a billionaire! You don’t need vaccines. You don’t need doctors who think they’re smarter than you telling you not to eat shit. What do they know after all? Are they billionaires? Nope.
121
Zach | Somm at the Vineyard @azachurateman.bsky.social · 28/04/2026
Of course, if money doesn’t sound appetizing to you, I have one more suggestion: Eat shit. We have so much shit it's crazy! We have so much shit we’re just flushing it down toilets like you all flush the world’s hopes and dreams.

Zach | Somm at the Vineyard @azachurateman.bsky.social · 28/04/2026
It’s like eating for free when you think about it! Not only that, but think of how much you can brag to your fellow billionaires! “I just ate five million on Saturday” you could say to your fellow former-cannibal business friends. Can’t you see the envy on their faces already?

Zach | Somm at the Vineyard @azachurateman.bsky.social · 28/04/2026
Not only that, but if you’re really hungry, you all could eat billions if not trillions of dollars, removing them from the economy while raising the value of the dollars left circulating through the economy.

Zach | Somm at the Vineyard @azachurateman.bsky.social · 28/04/2026
I don’t think you’ve realized it, but you essentially have an infinite amount of money. Money is made from fiber, so I’m already doing you a “solid” when it comes to bathroom time.
