Fashion isn't real. Just be in shape and you can wear what you want. Everyone knows this right?

I get the impression it might be the smokescreen for the even darker Kompromat these groomed 'Leaders' live under the fear of exposure of. The real strings that control them.

New EGI just dropped. Carney's Kompromat. EGI = Elite Gender Inversion. The tendency in the ruling classes for the men to pretend to be women. Quite often, prominent 'wives' of the global leaders - Michael Robinson / Michelle Obama, Jean-Michel Trogneaux / Bridgitte Macron etc.

Dulces sueños.

Very beautiful. Where's this please?

I used to think alcohol was alcohol.

Beer...Wine. They both got me drunk.

Then I started paying attention.

To how beer left me foggy.

And how wine didn’t.

Here’s what I found 🍺🍷🧵

Wine and Beer Start From Different Foundations

Wine is made from fermented grapes.

Beer is made from fermented grains.

That difference really matters.

Grapes naturally contain compounds that survive fermentation and end up in your glass. These include polyphenols, which have been studied for their ability to reduce inflammation, support blood vessels, and protect cells from oxidative stress.

Beer starts with starch. After fermentation, most commercial beer is filtered, pasteurized, and standardized. That strips out nearly all of the byproducts that might offer anything beyond alcohol and empty calories.

Both wine and beer can include additives that aren't listed on the label. But with wines, more of the beneficial compounds tend to stay in. It is also easier to find low-intervention wines with few additives, and there is a stronger culture of traceability in wine. People care who grew the grapes, how they were grown, and where.

You can find good beer and bad wine.

But at the baseline, wine has more going for it.

Blood Sugar and the Crash

Most people chalk up how they feel after drinking to “just a hangover.”

But part of that foggy, sluggish feeling is driven by blood sugar swings.

Wine, especially dry red wine, has virtually no residual sugar. During fermentation, yeast consumes the natural grape sugars. A standard glass of dry red often contains less than 1 gram of sugar.

Beer, on the other hand, contains maltose and residual starch, both of which break down quickly into glucose. This gives it a higher glycemic load, especially when consumed without food or in large quantities. Blood sugar spikes, insulin rises, and then comes the crash.

Alcohol itself makes this worse.

It inhibits gluconeogenesis, which is your liver’s ability to produce glucose when blood sugar runs low. That makes it harder for your body to recover once blood sugar drops.

This is why beer often leaves you drained and cloudy, even after just a couple.

Wine avoids about as much of that as possible. Less sugar spike. Less crash.

Antioxidants and Inflammation

Red wine contains polyphenols like resveratrol, quercetin, and anthocyanins.

These compounds have been studied for their role in reducing inflammation and protecting blood vessels.

Beer contains some antioxidants from hops and barley, but at much lower levels.

The process of filtration and pasteurization removes most of what might help.

If you’re going to drink, wine actually gives your body something to work with.

Hormonal Effects

Beer contains hops, and hops contain a compound called 8-prenylnaringenin.

It’s a powerful phytoestrogen, meaning it acts like estrogen in the body.

In high enough quantities, it can start shifting hormone levels.

Chronic beer consumption has been linked to lower testosterone, reduced libido, and, in some cases, increased body fat in areas like the manboob.

Wine doesn’t contain estrogenic compounds like this.

Some of the polyphenols in red wine may even slow down how fast your body breaks down testosterone. One lab study found a reduction in testosterone clearance by up to 70 percent.

Beer increases estrogen.

Wine slows testosterone loss.

Transparency and Sourcing

Neither beer nor wine is required to list all ingredients or additives on the label.

That means you're often drinking blind unless you know the producer.

With wine, it's usually easier to trace the origin.

There’s a stronger culture around knowing who grew the grapes and how the wine was made.

Beer doesn’t have that same emphasis on sourcing.

It’s possible, but less common.

If you want to drink better, ask questions and buy from people who can answer them.

Not all alcohol is created equal.

Beer gives you sugar spikes, estrogenic compounds, and fewer nutrients.

Wine gives you antioxidants, lower sugar, and for guys, a possible hormonal edge.

I’m not saying wine is a health drink.

But switching from beer to wine might actually make you feel better.

I’ve noticed it myself. I rarely drink beer anymore.

Curious if anyone else has had the same experience.

I'm interested in this bit, "Wine, especially dry red wine, has virtually no residual sugar. During fermentation, yeast consumes the natural grape sugars. A standard glass of dry red often contains less than 1 gram of sugar."

So you're saying, drink stronger, dry red wines to avoid residual sugar?

Inclined to agree. I struggle to understand how Ed Miliband can be so stupid and harmful to Britain's economic future. Surely he has insight into the pain his deranged NetZero policies will inflict on everyday British citizens and their families? I feel he must be knowingly malicious to their/our interests.

"When I was young my father said to me:

"Knowledge is Power....Francis Bacon"

I understood it as "Knowledge is power, France is Bacon". For more than a decade I wondered over the meaning of the second part and

what was the surreal linkage between the two? If I said the quote to someone, "Knowledge is power, France is Bacon" they nodded knowingly. Or someone might say, "Knowledge is power" and I'd finish the quote "France is Bacon" and they wouldn't look at me like I'd said something very odd but thoughtfully agree. I did ask a teacher what did "Knowledge is power, France is bacon" meant and got a full 10 minute explanation of the Knowledge is power bit but

nothing on "France is bacon". When I prompted further explanation by saying "France is Bacon?" in a questioning tone I just got a "yes". at 12 I didn't have the confidence to press it further. I just accepted it as something I'd never

understand.

It wasn't until years later I saw it written down that the penny dropped."

Tivat was very nice - PortoMontenegro & Divino Restaurant. Also Lustica Bay (Marina & Oblatno beaches). 100% recommend a Kotor/Perast Speedboat trip (Montenegro Submarine and Speedboat Tours was great value). Budva Citadel. Careful where you park - our car got picked up, towed and clamped one day. Expensive mistake.

We stayed at a Montenegro Lodge, great value and location.

I'm two weeks post switching from tap water to 100% natural mineral spring water. Feels good man. Continuing to add incrementally more positive health, diet, exercise decisions and behaviours too. The water feels like a tipping point. Would recommend. https://video.nostr.build/ba62fbca8968090dcea46ccdfcdc46088f423ce1e07acfebb709d686a30be58b.mp4

There’s something that’s been bothering me for a while.

To some 'Bitcoiners', I’m not 'Bitcoin' enough as if that’s even a real thing. Like being called progressive or feminist is supposed to be an insult. LOL.

And then every time I go back in my hometown, like last night, I get called a conspiracy theorist. Even for talking about the most basic bitcoin stuff (like the fact that dollars is not pegged by gold) 😭 and this happens a looot even on my social media

The truth is that nothing messes with your head like realizing that EVERYTHING you’ve been told about one of the most fundamental things (money) was wrong… and THEN suddenly finding yourself surrounded by people who also question the moon landing and whether sunscreen is even useful 🥲

But let me tell you something.

And I’m saying this to myself too. It’s fine. It’s all fine.

People are always trying to put you in a box. You’re either woke or delusional, feminist or comunist, sheep or lunatic. The financial system is a huge scam yes, but I don't question literally everything else. I drink wine and eat carbs on a daily basic and fuck yeah. The truth is, I live in the middle. And I’m OK with that. I absolutely love my life the way it i.

Being in the middle is what makes me human. It’s what allows me to see nuance. It’s what makes life richer, messier, and full of meaning. Also, I'm surrounded be so many and SO DIFFERENT people, I could never close myself up in my own world or diet.

I don't know in which point you are in this bitcoin journey but don’t be afraid to stand in between. Between two fires, two colors, two truths. Because that’s exactly where things start to make sense.

I tried no sunscreen in Montenegro last week. Burned red like a lobster on day 1. Big mistake. Going with more natural zinc oxide sunscreen as a reasonable half-way house next time.

Moon Landing videos were 100% fake though.

Christ is risen.
