Ah, that's a bummer. Good to know.

Wile E. Coyote is holding up a pair of signs. Sign 1: Okay, wise guys - you wanted to save this film - Sign 2: You better show up in 2026.

Huh.

Maybe the plan could be to low key start crashing the space incognito on Thursdays?
Until it's just all furries.

I've seen a few of those.
In a perfect world, where money was no object, I'd switch to an electric all-in-one brewing system and switch to a conical fermenter with a glycol chiller.
Stuff that's easier to keep consistent and clean.

The Onion plans to turn Infowars into a comedy site with satirical echoes of the fringe conspiracy theories that Mr. Jones is known for. Tim Heidecker, one of the comedians behind “Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!” on Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim, has been hired to serve as “creative director of Infowars.” He said he initially plans to parody Mr. Jones’s “whole modus operandi.” Mr. Heidecker has been working on his impression of Mr. Jones. But eventually, when that joke gets old, Mr. Heidecker said that he hoped to turn Infowars into a destination for independent and experimental comedy. “I just thought it would be just a beautiful joke if we could take this pretty toxic, negative, destructive force of Infowars and rebrand it as this beautiful place for our creativity,” Mr. Heidecker said in an interview. During a recent trip to Philadelphia, he traveled to the Liberty Bell to film a video in character as the new creative director of Infowars.

Get excited.

We Were Farmers We were farmers But the rich men came for our lands Invented leases to partition the land, to charge us rent To make competing impossible. “Become a craftsman”, they said. “We will always need more craftsmen.” So we were craftsmen But the rich men came for our labor Invented manufacturing To commoditize craft, to sell more To make competing impossible. “Become a line worker,” they said. “We will always need more line workers.” So we were line workers. But the rich men came for our labor Invented offshoring to find cheaper labor and cut costs To make competing impossible. “Become a coder,” they said. “We will always need more coders.” So we were coders. But the rich men came for our code Invented chat bots to make Writing new software trivial To make competing impossible. “What do we become now?” We asked. “Become a consumer,” they insisted. “We will always need more consumers.” So, we are farmers.

We were farmers

Super tempted to re-evaluate my home brewing process and change to a different fermentation process/hardware, but the cost is so high, it's not really worth doing unless I'm going to get heavily into home brewing.
I'm not really sure I want to do that, it's a lot of cost and effort.

Bah.
My last brew day beer got infected.
It don't taste too great.
For whatever the reason, it's always when I try to make an IPA and dry hop it.
Everything else turns out fine.

The first panel shows a crow with the title "How to live a good life". The second panel shows a crow cawing at itself in the mirror with the subheading "Make friends". The next panel says "Explore" and shows a crow looking into a commercial waste bin. The next says "Try new things" with a crow eating something vile. The next one says "Be curious" and shows the crow grabbing a hissing cat's tail". The final frame says "Get a hobby" and shows the crow looking closely at a book of matches.

come on man.

The rich are getting richer, while everyone else is left in the dirt.

While the ultra-rich get even richer, families are getting squeezed by a rigged economy.

It's time for the government to stop listening to the richest of the rich and start working for working people.

Steak and beer?

Open street with walkers and bikers, along White Rd in San Jose

Our favorite bike festival #VivaCalleSJ came back this year! They close the streets for a few hours on a Sunday so it becomes miles and miles of public free festival. It's one of my favorite things about the city. Videos to follow!

You won’t believe what I saw…

White and light green text: "Meta: Stop being creepy. Don't make it easier for stalkers, scammers, and government agents to spy on us." Tinted blue photo of someone's faces as if being captured by facial recognition. White ACLU logo. Black background.

If Meta adds face recognition to their “smart” glasses, it would force their panopticon onto us all.
