Best Alcohol Alternative Beverages
Nearly everyone who drinks booze has suffered a hangover: headaches, dehydration, and a strong feeling of regret for the tresspasses of the previous day. If you’re looking for a “buzz” without the morning after, U.S. News and World Report has investigated alternative non-alcoholic libations.

Anna Delvey (or Sorokin) Gets Her Own Dinner Show
Anna Delvey (real name Anna Sorokin) — the fake heiress who was immortalized in the Netflix series, Inventing Anna, is under house arrest in New York City. Normally, that would sound horrific, but Delvey has managed to parlay her ankle monitor into an art career and — now — a reality TV series. Delvey’s Dinner Club, will be shot as an unscripted series where Delvey invites groups of celebrities, musicians, and more into her Eat Village apartment for a catered dinner.

I am very unhappy to see you providing Anna Sorokin with free advertising for her latest shill ("Anna Delvey (or Sorokin) Gets Her Own Dinner Show").

Write ups like this only encourage other swindlers. I'm unsubscribing.
