As somebody in the wine business, there's a reason they let you brew beer and ferment wine at home and don't let you distill liquor. Someone's house will burn to the ground from attempting this. This is one example of where I think the government needs to protect people from themselves.

like most things my intuition is that the internet has made this worse - more parents have gone down some awful social media rabbit hole these days to the point that their children feel like they need to cut them off so, of course, they complain about it in the newspaper
Michael Hobbes@michaelhobbes.bsky.social · 12h agoThis is a quietly metastasizing moral panic
The estranged parents' movement reminds me of incels in a lot of ways. People who can't look themselves in the mirror attempting to leverage the state to force the rest of society to placate their ills, coupled with the perception of a massive group of people as property of another.
The other category of coverage is *extremely* implausible first-person accounts from estranged parents. According to this woman, her son cut her off after she was mildly rude to his fiance's family a single time. There's no way this is the entire story. www.goodhousekeeping.com/relationship...
Another one. The premise: Young people are cutting off their parents for minor mistakes and misunderstandings. The lead anecdote: A woman severs ties with her family for refusing to get vaccinated before her wedding — to a man who *lost his mother and brother to COVID*
Every article has the same premise: Young people are characterizing their normal, happy childhoods as abusive and going "no contact" with their parents over minor disagreements. Every article also, late in the text, blithely acknowledges that this premise is false. www.nytimes.com/2024/07/14/h...
nationalizing it is also a great idea, throw him in jail while we're at it, I'm not picky this is an 'all of the above' situation

Scott Horton@robertscotthorton.bsky.social · 9h agoThe White House says the malicious manipulation of Ukrainian access to StarLink and StarShield is over. Zelenskyy says it continues. And Zelenskyy, of course, is correct.

Mark Zuckerberg should understand that Republicans won’t always be in charge. If Democrats take the Senate, he will be forced to answer to Congress about his company’s abuse of tax credits to avoid paying its fair share while it builds AI data centers.
Chris Murphy@chrismurphyct.bsky.social · 2d agoMeta took down the No Kings organizing page today - the biggest day of protest this fall. They provided zero explanation. It stayed down for the entire afternoon until most of the protests were done. Outrageous. Put this on the January investigation list.
Left and Center-Left parties really need to make extreme efforts to purge conspiracy theorists from their ranks. Because people already in the conspiracy milieu are breathing in the same insanity that spreads fascism and unreality like wildfire.

So this comes about because both gender critical transphobia and 5G conspiracy theories are both part of the same broad miasma of fascism that liberals are really bad at recognising as fascism.

Donald Trump canceled his scheduled Oct. 16 deposition in his lawsuit against the BBC because of "matters of national importance." The BBC alerts the judge that those matters were: a rally in Dalton, Ga. and a fundraiser at Mar-a-Lago.

Good riddance. Nasty hateful organisation, the very worst of the left.
Jim Waterson@jim.londoncentric.media · 14h agoIt feels like something from a different age now but The Canary drove certain people insane in the 2010s. (I wrote about them lots, I don't think they liked me, but they were very open in their 'well if the right are twisting facts in an online fight-to-the-death we might as well join in' attitude.)
