At least the soy had nutritional merit. I also, in that era was buying a bunch of OTC herbals like saw palmetto and black cohosh.

I have now seen I Saw The TV Glow. It's good. I had gotten worked up about how I thought I'd feel about it thinking I was too close to the allegory and that it would emotionally wreck me. I think I strung out any of that over weeks of thinking ahead of it rather than catching it during the movie.

The official 2024 GOP platform makes a reference to "Christian-hating Communists" who the Republicans will keep from entering the country. Back in the early days of the America First movement, "Christian-hating Communists" would have just been a longer way of saying "Jews."
