Gary Chambers to @weareufd.bsky.social: "The very core of this is undemocratic and un-American, to tax Black people in Louisiana and then deny us representation is the very premise of robbing us of our ability to be full citizens in this country"

This is pretty funny. And that gum-chewer from PA!? Whew.

I'm just back from six days in Melbourne. The state govt has made all public transport free for a second month, and halved fuel excise on petrol and diesel for three months. There's also a steady stream of public messaging about saving fuel for the common good. Feels like they're taking it seriously

5/The reason why I got on this here social media site on January 28, 2025, was to make this point. If you don’t belong to a federal agency, or you are doing business with a federal agency, the President’s executive order, does not bind you.

I’m so out of it that I only now learned that strip clubs require an ID.

A friend asks: “Has it occurred to anyone that the MAGAs think you have to show IDs at restaurants because they’ve been eating all their meals at strip clubs? This isn’t even an unreasonable theory”

Take the discount. It’s worth it.

I just got word from the New York Times that they're cancelling the public vote on the Great American Living Songwriters poll because too many people voted for Joni Mitchell, John Lennon and Tupac

clear goal of republicans in these states is to, in the words of carter glass, “eliminate every Negro voter who can be gotten rid of, legally, without materially impairing the numerical strength of the white electorate.”

Maybe he’s just running on empty, synapses-wise. He’s only got a few so it’s always a weave of thought hanging on for dear life.

Hey #beer people. The Beer Culture Center is holding its annual Beer Summit this week. Great lineup. No registration needed. Always worth it. www.beerculturecenter.org/beer-culture...

Greg Bovino Calls Minneapolis Protestors ‘Cannon Fodder’ in New Interview talkingpointsmemo.com/the-weekende...

Until yesterday the earliest description of how to brew beer that I knew about was from 1000 CE. However, it turns out that the Vedas contain brewing instructions, dating back to 1000 BCE. That in itself is pretty stunning. The recipe is based on malt, unsurprisingly. However, it also includes ...

When I was protesting today, there was minor gridlock (because drivers are dumb) and I enjoyed an extended look at a turquoise, white, and chrome Edsel. I’d never seen one in real life.

Why do people feel entitled to treat service workers like shit? Who the fuck raised yall?

Fabulosity to the max. People, there is hope.

The last of four blooms. Not much left now of the stems. But I got 4 blooms. Gift from friends May 2023. BUT: if I repot this I may coax more stem growth from it: Not obvious in this photo but the foliage is healthy, fat, and green. I may yet get new stems.

Speaking of beer… a terrific analysis from @beervana.bsky.social

Booo!

Over? Or just beginning?

What the actual fuck? Is this so that from here on out, he can’t be blamed for problems in the Strait?

Hey, #beer people. Question: What is the most notable/significant event in U.S. beer in the past decade?

Die in utero.

I’ve been protesting twice a week for 14 months and today was the first time anyone harassed our group and it happened twice. Are nerves fraying? Is anger bubbling up? I dunno.

Our current economy is rigged. It just is. A new report shows that 88 of the largest companies in America, including: Amazon Citigroup Haliburton Kohl's Palantir PayPal PG&E Southwest Airlines Tesla United Airlines Disney paid ZERO corporate income tax last year.

Hell of a thing to post on a day they very successfully rigged the system.

If an historian tells you that the U.S. is rooted in white supremacy, which became more entrenched after the War of the Rebellion, & is a white supremacy based nation today, you do well to believe her.

Reform the Court doesn’t go far enough. Reform Congress for proportional representation. Reform the Presidency to get a popular election. Use this moment to dream big.

Headlines saying this Supreme Court decision "curtails the use of race" in voting are going to make me have a stroke. It empowers white supremacy. It does not curtail the use of race.

They realllllly hate women
