How To Celebrate Valentine's Day

Comrades: Happy Valentine’s Day!

This is a festive Substack. Together we have celebrated Christmas, New Years, Thanksgiving, Lunar New Year, Independence Day, MLK, and Current Thing Month.

Today I have a special treat for you - my first solo comedy podcast. You voted for more Yuri podcasts, so Yuri delivers. Similar to the last podcast, I will make the audio for paid subscribers only and the exhibits I will be discussing available to all.

Yuri original meme:

The topics for this special Valentine’s Day are about love and modern consoomerism. I will spend 5-10 minutes on each section:

• Online dating advice and my Valentine’s Day tradition

• Demoralized consooming in different kinds of shopping - grocery, clothes, online

• WOO experiences: Super sportsball Bowl, concerts, and the story of how I got roofied at the only rave I’ve ever been to

• Gen Z brands and why trans are the best consoomers

• The baby industrial complex

• Memory hole news network and a white pill
