There is a future where we look back on Charlie Kirk's murder as an catastrophic defeat for the left, but at present, on 28 October 2026, it remains the opposite: a catastrophic defeat for the right.

YE RUSTIC INN MAY SOON BE DUNZO In a shocking announcement on the Los Feliz bar's IG an hour ago, the staff have posted a distressing message: the beloved bar's lease is expiring and things don't look good. They are asking for everyone's help: To our Los Feliz community and lovers of Ye Rustic Inn, we need you ! 💙 Our outdoor space is scheduled to be removed on Monday and our lease is also looking at an uncertain future. We need our community’s support. While Rustic may just be a bar to some… to others it is a place to gather, their job, and where some of their best memories are held. It’s a Los Angeles institution and the neighborhood wouldn’t be the same without it. So we are asking our community to please join us tomorrow at 6:30 for a circle of hope and unity to act as a peaceful demonstration to show how beloved this establishment is to its patrons and staff. Small businesses deserve to thrive here in LA 💙 Please share and feel free or leave your favorite Rustic memory in the comments. XOXO The Staff of Rustic

Caffeine is psychoactive at doses below 20 mg. For many people, 10 mg or less. That is a couple sips of coffee. Switching from coffee to tea or decaf is not quitting caffeine. Roland Griffiths of Johns Hopkins — one of the leading caffeine researchers in the world — found that caffeine is behaviorally active at doses far lower than anyone previously knew. His exact words: “One of the interesting things that we showed in the course of that research is that caffeine is behaviorally active at doses far lower than anyone ever knew previously. Many people can detect the effects of caffeine at doses of less than 20 milligrams, and many 10 or less milligrams. So a couple of sips of coffee can produce reliable, detectable, subjective effects. And these are really rigorous blinded studies.” This is why the common alternatives don’t get you to zero. Black tea and green tea contain caffeine. So does decaf. Stephen Cherniske — biochemist, author of Caffeine Blues — writes that a 12-ounce cup of decaf can still contain at least 10 mg, and sometimes more. This is not theoretical. A friend told me he had quit coffee and didn’t notice much difference. I asked what he was drinking instead. “Tea.” “What kind?” “Black tea. Green tea.” I was like: “Bro, you don’t even know what a caffeine-free state feels like.” If you want to know what your real state of consciousness feels like without caffeine, you have to go to zero. For me, that has meant organic rooibos tea — no caffeine, still contains polyphenols. I also drink herbal teas like mint or fruit tea, or just mineral water.
