After a year of increasingly dire developments at the pioneering PNW craft brewer, last month it abruptly shuttered all its locations, declaring bankruptcy the day before Thanksgiving. At @vinepair.com, I charted Rogue's rise & fall against the fate of the craft-brewing industry it helped to create.

What does a man in his late 60s do? Homeless, lonely, no access to safety, no housing. Significant health issues, including bad teeth and chronic weight loss. Afraid of the inner city and shelters. Well, he breaks the law and is arrested.

Decided to treat myself for my upcoming birthday and bought myself 2 Calvin and Hobbes books from @audreysbooksyeg.bsky.social Then I went to Duchess Bakeshop to see this year's gingerbread concoction. I love The Grand Budapest Hotel.

Cool!

I've still got these tickets if anyone is interested.

It’s not easy for Canada to completely restructure its economic system away from a partnership with the United States, a partnership Canada knows… that EVERY nation now knows… can’t be trusted. But it’s the right thing to do. And we’ll be stronger for it. Will the United States? I doubt it.

Oh noooo. So sad. She was so great. Colleen Jones, champion curler... https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/nova-scotia/colleen-jones-obituary-9.6991829

It's the point. They can all line up for the chopping block.

They won in regulation 😭

Ahahahaha 🤣 Elizabeth May explaining the tanker ban “especially to the attention of slow learners; Andrew Sheer, Danielle Smith, take note.”

The absolute f*cking gall of these pathological a**holes 🤬. #ableg #cdnpoli

This is a UCP MLA calling for a referendum on abortion inside of the legislature. They’re coming for abortion. Under his eye. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

I am frustrated and enraged at the UCP and Danielle Smith, for using the most powerful constitutional hammer we have to vaporize human rights for children and their parents. I am disgusted by these Conservative MLAs. Every single one of them has taken leave of their senses and their humanity.

Eloquently and rightfully said, Ms. Phillips. I am going to add an indelicate, "F%&! this group of hateful bigots and the corrupt horses they rode in on.' #TransRightsAreHumanRights #SupportTransKids

I love the whole "I don't have kids in school anymore, I shouldn't have to pay taxes that go to the public school" argument from people. It's the classic "I got mine, fuck you." I have no kids. I never want kids. Take more of my tax money and put it towards schools and not cops. Thank you.

Tonight's dinner; Korean pancake (pajeon) "cups" with beef bulgogi, shredded carrots, pickled onions, pickled diakon, green onions and Sriracha mayo with kimchi on the side. Holy shit my mouth is happy!! #GdawgDinners

WeRateDogs turns 10 years old today! A very silly idea to numerically objectify dogs has become one of the kindest and most powerful online communities ever. Thank you for joining us over the last decade. I never knew what this could be until you all showed me. Here's to many more good dogs ❤️

Am I the only one who didn’t blow Bill Clinton?

Justin Trudeau caused Canada to lose its measles-free status. #CdnPoli 🇨🇦

What is the "Corrupt Care" scandal? Pete Guthrie, who left the UCP over their refusal to call a public inquiry, summed it up impressively today. And he called out the UCP MLA's and ministers who remain silent on it. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Tonight's dinner was butter chicken and garlic waffles. Fuck it turned out way better than even I thought. The butter chicken sauce was so good. Definitely make that one again.

Also if you're a grown ass man

The Alberta President of the Canadian Bar Association has entered the chat… Calling out not only the preemptive use of the notwithstanding clause but also the limited debate as threats to the rule of law. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

I'm an Alberta based artist who has a thing for storms & space. I do commissions & have originals & 50 different canvas & paper prints available earthskyart.ca/shop #art #painting

$3812. That’s what it cost our family for my wife to be on strike for the past 3 weeks. We’re lucky. We can afford it. But knowing that after all that time and money, the only thing that’s changed is she and 50K of her fellow teachers have fewer rights than they did before? It doesn’t feel great.

Gather round, young 'uns, and Ol' Vic'll spin you a tale... Remember when the King came to visit? Not this one with the ears like taxi doors, you know, the other one, one of the Georges. Maybe it was an Edward Anyway, he comes down to little ol' Edmonton and he goes on a merry tour, see? #AbLeg

Dani: wE ArE aLbErTaN! wE lOvE fReEdOmS aNd FrEeDoMiNg!! *teachers strike* NOT LIKE THAT!!! LiBeRtY, eQuAlItY, FUCK TEACHERS!

Anyone living in a free and democratic society should be disgusted by this action. Meanwhile, our Premier, @ABDanielleSmith , is abroad in Saudi Arabia, perhaps gaining perspective on what life is like in a country with little regard for human rights. #abpoli www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Today, I submitted 456,365 Albertans’ signatures to Elections Alberta, petitioning the Premier to do the right thing, avoid a divisive and economically harmful referendum, and allow MLAs to vote and reaffirm that Alberta’s future is in Canada.🇨🇦 Alberta is #ForeverCanadian

Buck Martinez is an absolute moron. Never should have sent him on that play. #BlueJays #WorldSeries

It’s been getting harder and harder to shake the feeling that Premier Smith cares more about oil than actual Albertans. It’s one thing to suspect that, but having it confirmed like this is something else entirely.

dear US friends, when a sitting president (re)builds the seat of government, it almost always means the president has no intention of leaving at the end of term. your African friends with decades of experience

Made two types of #nachos tonight. Top: Korean inspired - Korean beef, cheese, edamame, peproncini, sesame seeds, cabbage, Sriracha Mayo, Sriracha. Bottom: Regular - taco beef, cheese, jalapenos, salsa and sour cream. So good!!

Was going to have breakfast for dinner tonight, then Mrs. Gdawg suggested #Shakshuka. It was fucking amazing. One of my favorite breakfasts.

Another $20 and we get this up to $2K

The loss Norma Cardinal & her family are experiencing is unimaginable. They need our support to navigate this difficult time. Every contribution helps, and sharing their story can make a difference. Please consider donating or sharing. gofund.me/4e5838077

Who's solving the Louvre robbery? Right answers only

1/ I am particularly worried about these two 16-year-old girls. And I appreciate that a donation may not be feasible, but if by chance someone has a newer laptop or Chromebook for the one girl who journals and needs one as soon as the school strike is over, that would be amazing.

Alberta has over 300K kids in K-6. The UCP plans to pay $30/day each for childcare during the teacher strike. $9M daily. That’s equal to 90 top teacher salaries every day, or the cost of a new school each week.

Alberta conservatives: Grrr, Ottawa steals all our money! Fuck Ottawa! Fuck Carney! Ottawa: here's $200 million to pay for daycare so Mom's & Dad's can work and grow the economy. The UCP: Fuck you and your money! We don't want it! Also Alberta: Why don't we get anything from Ottawa! Fuck! #ableg

How is it that an adult man discussing spanking a teen boy would have a book on this exact topic banned by the same Premier who employs him as the Executive Director of her office?

Nova Scotia woods are back open….let’s go find the cry babies 😂 #Canada #NovaScotia

Let's cheer the Canadian women dominating world rugby. They had to crowd source to raise the money to even get into the tournament. Nobody took them seriously. They crushed the New Zealand giants. They are going into the finals. Come on fellow Canucks - is the real miracle team. So proud.
