I swear, the next person who unironically uses the term 'warfighter' to describe soldiering should be put on permanent KP and become a potatofighter.

"Varus, give me back my legions." ---Probably Hegseth. Probably soon.

We're a little bit punchy.

Why in God's name would you try to fight Alan Ritchson? Not only is he basically a barn, but he seems like a pretty decent guy?

The question is answered in a photo caption. They set out to disrupt the industry. This is what that looks like. Never trust someone that says they want to disrupt anything. What they mean is insert their own profit motive, siphon out cash, and leave the disrupted holding the bag.

I love that James Watt feels badly enough about Tilray wiping out the Equity for Punks program to go the Guardian and complain about it, but not quite badly enough to reach into his own pocket and give any of their money back. The man in full, really.

If Bill Maher had even an ounce of self awareness he would run screaming. He never has, though, so one of his last professional acts will be to participate in his own thorough and lasting embarrassment.

Pretty sure Chuck Norris is going to be interviewing St. Peter.

This piece hits Diffrient.

In the interest of cost savings i am offering faith OR Begorrah today.

The correct level of heat for chili is: warm forearms.

Do you know what this means? BORGNINE SUPREMACY! One MARTY to rule them all!

the only good thing about America is that they do seem hell bent on getting us to learn about new islands. Little Saint James. Kharg. You know. Geography!

Good Food Revolution went down at the beginning of the year, and although I've been trying to contact Jamie, I've had no luck. Since they're not hosted anymore, I'm reposting some material I quite liked. Here's a piece I wrote about the Opacity of Guinness. saintjohnswort.ca/the-opacity-...

all nero all the time

Probably good I don't drive.

Pitch an unnecessary sequel: Outland 2: The Conneryening.

Yes, hello, is that God? Yeah, hi. I have a complaint. You gave me this brain that’s designed for finding berries and avoiding lions and now people are ‘just circling back’ to see if we can ‘move the needle’ on ‘key initiatives’? NONE of those things are berries.

It is awful. But, Glasgow Vape Store is pretty much a Frankie Boyle special title.

Controversy incoming: Red Prince is the best Ontario apple.

war overseas, war in american cities, the largest tax increase on the middle class in history…no reason for any of this just stupid people doing stupid things and making your life worse

Delayed this week due to a hell of a lot of balls in the air, it's the Diary of a Local Beer Man, starring me, Sir Digby Chicken-Caesar. This week: More Belgian Tripel than you can shake a stick at! Meuse Brewing! Kevin Head! Thoughts about memory! saintjohnswort.ca/diary-of-a-l...

I'm just rewatching Better Off Ted, and Portia de Rossi is absolutely hilarious. Easily the best part of the show, and the rest of it is tightly written and well characterized.

Man, that's a real down doobie do down downer about Sedaka.

Max. The Warrior Max. Just can't get beyond Thunderdome.

I know we're past the point of metaphor and irony and satire, but an aircraft carrier so full of shit it's literally backing up? Even Joseph Heller would have found that cack-handed.

Man, I hate agreeing with Doug.

It may be an hour or so late, but I didn't forget about Diary of a Local Beer Man. saintjohnswort.ca/diary-of-a-l... This week: Cider! Educational opportunities! Gently kicking Brewdog while they're down! Curried Haggis?! saintjohnswort.ca

All because you had to have yer labubu.

At some point, every story about Trump will simply be, "Dying antichrist finds a way to make everything slightly worse faster." I'm sure Frankie Boyle said it already.

I find the ongoing coverage of the Brewdog sale fascinating. As I understand it, the Equity for Punks scheme was partially loyalty program and partially grift. I'm sure some people have extracted parity value from their investment just through discounts over time. But....

The nice thing about beating Czechia is that the Czechs will be drinking precisely the same amount of beer whether they win or lose.

If you never saw Lonesome Dove, you're really missing out. Robert Duvall was funny, and he doesn't get enough credit for having been funny. That's like six hours long though, so here's a shorter form: www.reddit.com/r/NormMacdon...

Bored on Family Day? Why not check out Diary of a Local Beer Man!? This week: Spenser for Hire! Recurring Editorial Nightmares! The Heartbreak of Expired Ink! saintjohnswort.ca/diary-of-a-l...

I think being a cat must be like constantly having taken a very mild edible.

The internet seems to have made an entire cottage industry out of advertisements in short form video where the game being played is played badly enough that it causes people to rage download games out of anger at incompetence. And those games also contain those ads. As always, hooey and bullshit

Bankrupting your own casino is one thing. Bankrupting other people's casinos unintentionally is just astounding.

Dude talk: You guys all just have one belt, right? Like, day to day? Eight years is a reasonable period of time for a belt before retirement, right? Just checking.

Just watching that halftime show. I can absolutely see why they're scared of the message that you should believe in yourself and your neighbours and work together. Also, Ricky Martin can friggin' belt.

If there's a blog post it must be Monday and time for Diary of a Local Beer Man. This week: Adventures on Go Transit! White Boards! Interviews! saintjohnswort.ca/diary-of-a-l...

Oh, maaaan. That was load bearing.

It seems to me we traded Buck for the Eglinton LRT. I woulda kept Buck.

Yes, it's true. The US Attorney's office in New York prepared a draft of an announcement of Epstein's death that is dated one day BEFORE Epstein died. Nothing fishy here....

I'm sure the Norm MacLean plot line is going somewhere, but it's so easily the least interesting part of Fallout. I mean, it's pretty true to the Vault-Tec vibe, but it's a little Levels 1-5.

If Epstein funded 75% of Bitcoin, and it is therefore in fact an Op, do you think it has a backdoor to ownership, you credulous nitwits? But the Blockchain!

You know, I don't know much about Bad Bunny's musical career, although I have seen him wrestle. Seeing the hubbub from the folks who don't like him, I guess I'll check him out.

It's Monday, and therefore time for Diary of a Local Beer Man. saintjohnswort.ca/6026-2/ This week: Cold! Thoughts about how to write! Imperial Stout!

I'll say it, just to normalize it: I had a very serious crush on Catherine O'Hara as a twelve year old watching SCTV.

Catherine O’Hara SCTV thread youtu.be/990OaFr8EYw?...

I have Jazz FM 91.1 plugged into American Truck Simulator. Life is a pretty sweet fruit.
