Spent an hour on and off with Spotify online support just trying to find out where to file feedback re: ICE ads. After asking what the feedback was, all four reps ended the chat immediately when I mentioned ICE. This has to be direction from above. Save your time and just cancel now.

I was wondering if Sotol is regulated as well and it is in Mexico but not in the US… lol it always comes back to him

www.texasstandard.org/stories/texa...

What are the barriers on marketing sotol right now?
Within Mexico, there are barriers. Mexico has this denomination of origin. So, you can only market as a sotol if you're made in one of those three states within Mexico. It must be made from the sotol or dessert spoon plant. There's regulations on how much it can be diluted, so on and so forth. However, those regulations are not recognized in USMCA, which is the treaty that replaced NAFTA - the Trump replacement for NAFTA. It recognizes denominations origin for mezcal and tequila; those must be made in Mexico. But at the 11th hour, they removed the protections for sotol and the six other denominated Mexican spirits.

I stand corrected but damn there is way more states allowed to do it. Durango gets to make Mezcal and Sotol

CAHSR stan (single issue voter for HSR) @smosmz.bsky.social · 16h

I guess regulated isn’t the right word, but you can make it anywhere, unlike tequila due to the volcanic soil etc

I gotta say it’s incredibly on brand that of the Mexican spirits they chose to do Mezcal for a Tesla branded product considering it’s not regulated like tequila

the comments on Reddit were suggesting that when metro says winter they usually mean the earlier part of the year and when they say fall they mean the latter part of the year so hopefully Jan-March 2026!

BREAKING: President Obama comes out in favor of Prop 50 in California.

California, help protect democracy and return your ballots today!

Jerry Brown should be our first president, sorry Newsom

it feels like it’s increasingly likely a lot of load bearing pillars are being knocked out as quickly as possible so when it all collapses I can’t wait for the free and sovereign Bear Flag Republic to rise again

The executive is usurping a core Article I function, this should be treated with the same amount of alarm as if he declared he's disbanding Congress, because that's functionally what he's doing/done

like what are we doing here

Phase 1 showing revenue operations starting winter 2026

Phase 2 showing revenue operations starting spring 2027

CAHSR stan (single issue voter for HSR) @smosmz.bsky.social · 19h

Hahahahaha the dates were pushed to Winter 2026 for phase 1 and Spring 2027 for phase 2… for now. I’m gonna become the joker.

It’s okay- it’s not like this subway extension is the most consequential transit project for LA and arguably in the entire country right now!
