National Tequila Day brings specials to the Phoenix area
State of play: Whether you're craving a margarita, looking for a more adventurous cocktail or seeking a straight pour of the agave spirit, there are plenty of bars and restaurants around the Valley with specials on Thursday.
The Montauk: This Old Town Scottsdale restaurant is offering a roster of tequila cocktails for $12.
Born & Bred Chandler: Enjoy $5 margaritas all day.
The Mexicano: At their north Phoenix location from 6-8pm, try complimentary tastings, and at their Phoenix and Chandler spots, for $16 enjoy their featured cocktail, the Margarita Rosado, made with Maestro Dobel Diamante tequila, orange liqueur, guava purée, strawberry syrup and lime juice.
Aftermath Bar & Kitchen: From 4-6pm, go for a free tasting and try a Southwest Sour — El Tesoro Reposado tequila, passion fruit, agave, lime juice and egg whites — for $15 at this central Phoenix spot.
El Camino: Enjoy $6 pours of Jose Cuervo Tradicional all day in Old Town.
Barcoa Agaveria: We don't know if they have any National Tequila Day specials, but this downtown Phoenix watering hole is an Axios Phoenix favorite, and happy hour runs from 4-7pm today.
Jeremy's thought bubble: I'm primarily a whiskey man myself, but I do enjoy a pour of good tequila now and again.
I'll be celebrating National Tequila Day at home with a glass of Corcel Extra Añejo or Herradura Legend, both of which are well-suited to a bourbon drinker's palate.
And I'd highly recommend Fortaleza Añejo. Finding a bottle for a reasonable price can be difficult, but bars or restaurants with a good tequila selection often include it on the menu.

The time-travel stones are up to their old tricks in Outlander: Blood Of My Blood trailer
Those pesky damn time travel stones! Always catapulting young women through time for romantic adventures. We knew that, much like the flagship series, Outlander: Blood Of My Blood would feature multiple timelines. But we didn't know that, like her daughter Claire, Julia Moriston (Hermione Corfield) would also find herself sent back in time. But according to the new trailer for the prequel, the love stories of Claire and Jamie's parents are even more entangled than we could've imagined. According to a synopsis from Starz, Outlander: Blood Of My Blood begins 'on the eve of an earlier Jacobite rebellion.' In 1714, Ellen MacKenzie (Harriet Slater) and Brian Fraser (Jamie Roy) fall in love despite the fact that 'my father detested yours,' as she tells him in the trailer. Meanwhile, Vanity Fair reports that Julia Moriston (Hermione Corfield) and Henry Beauchamp (Jeremy Irvine) fell in love writing letters back and forth while Henry serves in the first World War. But their long-distance, wartime courtship ain't got nothing on accidentally being separated by 200 years. 'What if you never find her?' Someone asks Henry after Julia's disappearance. 'I will,' he vows. The Outlander: Blood Of My Blood cast also includes Tony Curran as Simon Fraser, Lord Lovat, Séamus McLean Ross as Colum MacKenzie, Sam Retford as Dougal MacKenzie, Rory Alexander as Murtagh Fitzgibbons Fraser, and Conor MacNeill as Ned Gowan. Executive producer Maril Davis teased to Vanity Fair, 'With prequels, the challenge is you know exactly where you're ending. But we have a lot of freedom in figuring out how to get there. We don't have a book series on this one, so we're definitely not going to have that debate necessarily of, 'Oh, this was in the book this way, but the show's doing it a different way.' But sometimes it's nice to have the blueprint.' Outlander: Blood Of My Blood, which has already been renewed for a second season, will premiere August 8. More from A.V.

Ozzy didn't corrupt America's youth. He exposed the hypocrisy of their elders.
Ozzy Osbourne is dead, and some Christians may believe that the devil ushered him straight to the gates of hell. Few pop culture icons were as important, or as controversial, as Osbourne. The British-born rocker became the avatar of American culture wars more than a half-century ago by attempting to showcase the hypocrisy of modern religion. Osbourne launched his career in the late 1960s. Sensitive to cultural currents, he recognized what was happening not just in music, but also in religion and politics. He used it to build on the image of rock as subversive and countercultural. From the start, Osbourne understood how to bring attention to his art. Calling his band Black Sabbath sent a clear message. He aimed to subvert, not honor, Christianity. He integrated crosses, demonic imagery and symbols of the devil such as bats into his performances to highlight what he saw as the absurdity of organized religion. Osbourne sang lyrics in his first album about a 'figure in black' that directed him, and in another song, he took on the persona of Satan himself: 'My name is Lucifer, please take my hand.' In Black Sabbath's "Paranoid" album, released at the height of the Vietnam War, he sang 'War Pigs,' a song in which Satan laughed and spread his wings as political and military elites led the Western world to the doorstep of the apocalypse. Opinion: How faith becomes a weapon: 'If I can't understand it, it's not Christian' Such allusions to the demonic continued in album after album. Osbourne's career developed parallel to a new understanding of Satan. In the post-World War II era, the devil assumed a more prominent role in American life. Anton LaVey's founding of the Church of Satan in 1966 celebrated Satan as a symbol of rebellion, individualism and secular liberation. In other words, Satan was the opposite of everything anxious Cold War parents wanted to instill in their kids. Artists drew on this revamped Satan in their work. Films like "The Exorcist" (1973) and "The Omen" (1976) brought Satan − and fears of Satan's ability to inhabit human bodies − into the imaginations of millions of people. Osbourne made those themes central to his music. In the 1980s, while Osbourne was still releasing albums, fears of satanic ritual abuse swept across the United States. Christian conservatives fretted that Dungeons & Dragons, Ouija boards and horror films were gateways to demonic influence. High-profile cases like the McMartin preschool trial and the publication of memoirs about escaping satanic ritual abuse fueled widespread panic. Law enforcement agencies conducted seminars on occult crime, therapists uncovered repressed memories of ritual abuse and talk shows amplified claims of underground satanic cults. The panic revealed deep anxieties about child safety, cultural change and the perceived decline of Christian values in American society. Perhaps, parents and religious leaders wondered, was Osbourne driving kids into satanism? Perhaps his music was brainwashing the nation's youth? Conservative Christians − including evangelicals, Catholics and Latter-day Saints − believe in a cosmic battle between angels and demons that directly influences human affairs. They believe that unseen spiritual battles determine real-world outcomes, particularly in culture, politics and morality. Opinion: Kan-Kan Cinema is elevating Indy's cinema culture Many of them also believed they had to protect children from music like Osbourne's. This framework encouraged social conservatives to interpret issues like abortion, LGBTQ+ rights and the de-Christianizing of culture as evidence of demonic influence, necessitating counteraction through prayer, activism and political engagement. Osbourne and the genre of hard rock that he helped to promote contributed to their fears. In their minds, Osbourne was encouraging youth to rebel. And he was. Osbourne's fans understood what the rock star was doing. They loved it. The more angry Osbourne could make their parents, and the more he could rile up moral crusaders, the better. And he agreed. Playing with the devil became a hallmark of his long career. Briggs: Born into Jim Crow, she lived to witness DEI debates From witch hunts in Salem to conspiracy theories driving QAnon, Americans have used Satan to facilitate a politics of fear. They have used him to justify persecution, fuel moral panics, shape political and cultural battles, and assess global crises and war. But there has always been another side to Satan, the one Osbourne captured. His devil wasn't the horned villain of Christian nightmares but a trickster, a rebel, a symbol of freedom from sanctimony. In Osbourne's hands, Satan gave a theatrical middle finger to hypocrisy and lifted up a mirror to a society obsessed with sin, and he laughed. His life reminds us that sometimes, dancing with the devil is really just refusing to march in lockstep with the saints.
