President Biden is right.
Political satire is one of the oldest and most important forms of free speech.
It challenges those in power while using humor to draw more people in to the discussion.
That’s why people in influential positions have always targeted it for censorship.

The censorship cartel must be smashed into a billion pieces.
Everyday Americans must have the freedom to fully exercise their First Amendment rights.

Should the government censor speech it doesn’t like? Of course not.
The FCC does not have a roving mandate to police speech in the name of the “public interest.”

Free speech is the counterweight—it is the check on government control.
That is why censorship is the authoritarian’s dream.

I was recently on the Cellar Door Podcast, mostly talking digital UX (i.e., how I can help improve your winery website), but also a bit of culinary history. Check it out: buff.ly/CEsFKQh

My recent Thirsty Bandit podcast session is now a YouTube video, so you can see first hand my hair’s love-hate relationship with virtual backgrounds. (And maybe learn a thing or two about improving your winery website.) youtu.be/smBqsyAswT4?si=OZSz…

I would guess that 20-25% of people I see walking in my sidewalk-free suburban area understand the correct side of the street to walk on (i.e. against traffic). Do people not learn this anymore? It seems like a relatively simple principle but so many don’t know it… 🤔

Email from Eataly: are you team marinara or team pesto?
Why are we like this? I don’t want to pick a team!

I mean, I guess wraps are always awful if you are either a) talking about the ones served at corporate meetings or b) don’t know how to make a good sandwich. Otherwise I don’t get the hate. theatlantic.com/culture/arch…
PS yes wraps are sandwiches
