I’ve been following news about Erythritol for some time; it really does increase strokes and other health problems. Almost any other sweetener is better to use

And artificial sweeteners, extra sugars.

I would love to see this play out in the fediverse

Must suck for non genocidal democrats who have no option but to ignore this next year during campaigning; logically realizing they must minimize these issues to help fight against the worse Republicans

This seems pretty divisive in American politics for multiple reasons

And even most of these tech outlets are part of mega corporations.

A lot of journalism can be found in a scattered collection of blogs and social media, and few people know most of them.

Humans never had this exact problem of gathering news before. Pre print times had an established way of getting information to us, it might have taken months but was reliable.

The last few centuries of press were supported by advertising. Now, that has collapsed, making the idle rich and underpaid volunteers bear the bunt to take up the slack

Carthage definitely had to supply a complex theater of operations. But I remember he did get supplies , and once was waiting in a port city for promised supplies that were diverted.

That cost him alliances, and set the tone, for a while , where he had to prove, and keep proving, to others in Italy that he could be a reliable balance to Rome. It definitely changed his campaign, and forced him into battles he rather had avoided.

A lot of his success was advertising to others in Italy that they could depend on him. A lot of the troops and supplies he used were from those allies in Italy.

Also, to change the history all he had to do was delay Roman expansion by a few decades; it was probably set in stone he could not keep an invasion up forever: but organizing a lasting counterbalance, with many Tribes and cities in Italy, using Carthage as a nucleus, was possible.

Rome had plenty of opponents in Italy without him, but they had no good way to unify against Rome without him
