There's a small craft brewery in small-town Wisconsin that partnered with a coffee roaster to make a canned coffee called "Woke". The coffee is pretty good, and the beer is damn good.

They piss off the local right-wing government, so they're constantly getting shut down, but it usually only lasts a couple weeks.

The only ability you have in French is to judge. It's what the language is for.

If nothing else, a huge chunk of Trump's voting base would not be ok with a black guy being one heart attack away from the presidency.

That might be more than wishful thinking. Gantz has personally overseen the invasion of Gaza twice, and he joined the war cabinet right after 10/7. He is definitely no friend to Gaza.

Calling him a centrist is only true in that he's slightly left of Bibi, which is saying nothing.

I have a vague memory of listening to him on the radio in NY way back in the day and he was a legit sports analyst. Then a couple years later he showed up on national broadcasts and was completely different. Maybe my memory is failing me, but I don't remember him starting as an obnoxious talking head.

No. They just know that Republicans and their cable news sycophants will do the exact thing they did with the Hur report.

Ignore the overall findings, find one sentence in it that spins it negative, soundbite the fuck out of it, and repeat it ad nauseum.

And yes, this is the same thing Trump did. And Obama. And Bush. This has been a standard move for decades. It's just news now because of the regressive morons in congress and their orange dictator-in-waiting.

How many Germans does it take to screw in a light bulb?

One. Because Germans are efficient and lack humor.

I mean, I think he wants to fuck a couple of the people with that last name.

Anybody question why his social media company has a revenue stream roughly equal to that of a single McDonald's franchise, yet is valued at 9 billion dollars?

Cows have excellent taste in music.

I hope not. It'd take 2 hours and would just make me weird and nervous.

It's possibly the peak of bro comedy. It's fairly tongue-in-cheek and mocks it's own hyper-macho characters enough that I think all the toxic masculinity works. As long as you watch it with that in mind it ages pretty decently.

Not that bad, which is strange for this time of year. Usually I'd be working 'round the clock, but my industry is in a slump, so I have some free time. Hanging out with my partner, cooking, cleaning, played a hot second of video games last week. Hoping to have time to jump back into reading Stormlight Archive, but that's one hell of an investment.

Thanks for asking, stranger. How's life by you?

I did the same math when I bought my bike. How many times do I have to ride it to work to break even on this purchase? And as soon as I hit that threshold I never touched the thing again. Turns out I hate riding a bike.

If you owe the bank $100 you have a problem. If you owe the bank $100k, the bank has a problem.

Sadly that one's a Democrat.

Does that mean I'm rich or just lactose intolerant?

I mean, you're guaranteed to end up with a bad rep. Decent chance you'll end up with a bad RAP.

Children of Bodom could've done a great version of Shake it Off.

Bottom trawling is one of the most hideously destructive things we do to this planet. Imagine if you wanted to catch rabbits, so you hooked a giant nylon net to the back of two humvees. Put them 100 yards apart and drive through a forest, knocking down trees, shredding the underbrush, catching anything and everything in its path. At the other end of the forest you carefully step over all of the dying deer, moose, mice etc and pick out the 30-40 rabbits that you want. Then you leave the net and everything else you just happily killed lying at the edge of the forest so nothing can grow under it. That's what bottom trawling is. People would be horrified by it, except that it literally happens under the surface.

This is a huge part of the reason that we're missing a billion crab. This is a huge part of why the king salmon are dying, which is a huge part of why the orcas are starving.

Commercial fishing in general has massive, glaring environmental problems, from bycatch to emissions to illegal overfishing to everything else under the sun. But if I had to pick one issue to focus on it would be bottom trawling.

Kinda? That is the logic that the cold war superpowers employed, but it isn't necessarily true. Having one nuclear-armed ICBM or cruise missile within range of a US city would be one hell of a deterrent.

China at least partly holds to this. Their logic is that nuclear security does not necessitate nuclear parity. So while the US and USSR made thousands of warheads and delivery systems, China maintained an arsenal of roughly 80-100 warheads with viable delivery systems.

Hey, a pyrrhic victory is still a victory, right?

Yeah, this is seriously double-plus ungood.

It's like Joel Dongsteen

I just don't want the sun to come up at 5am in the summer.

It's like Craftsman all over again.

In his mind, teaching kids that black people are ok and gays exist is 'poor education.'

Tujio ,

Why should they get their salary? This is happening because they didn't do their damn jobs.

Tujio ,

I mean that basically happened when Cheney shot that guy in the face.

Tujio ,

And Blackwater is forever stained with the blood of innocents. But Academi is totally fine guys.

Tujio ,

And Avalon Securities.

And Washington State produces more potatoes than Idaho.

And Wisconsin has more lakes than Minnesota.
