If these cops walk, who will shoot innocent dogs? Who will beat innocent people? Who will scream "stop resisting" as they violate the fourth amendment rights of calm and compliant people? Who will ignore investigating actual crimes?

We must reckon with this!

Lmao is this supposed to be a bad thing?

A tweet from Bari Weiss that says “"It's shaken me to my core," a lieutenant said of Mamdani's unexpected victory in June. "The absolute dread I feel is palpable.
"
Today in @TheFP our @Olivia_Reingold talks to the cops who say they will walk if Zohran Mamdani is elected in November:”

A nice brew day and ten gallons of wort to show for it. It smells delicious already. Brewing this beer was a good way to relax and reset on a Sunday.

Two 6 gallon fermenters each filled with 5 gallons of unfermented beer. They are sitting on a coffee table in front of a couch.

A test tube full of orange wort (unfermented beer) with a hydrometer to measure the specific gravity.

Doing a much better job maintaining temperature. Holding steady with 15 minutes left in the rest. Beautiful color.

Wort with an orangish amber color in a mash tun.

A thermometer showing 152 degrees Fahrenheit.

Doughing in and right on target for the saccharification rest. So far so good.

A lovely overcast day with occasional rain showers. Perfect for brewing some ale.

A 65L Brewzilla beer brewing rig set up on a front porch. There are neighboring houses in the picture and the sky is cloud covered. There is a small barricade in front of the Brewzilla to keep dogs from escaping. There is a pulley system over the Brewzilla to lift the mash pipe out once the mash is ready to removed and sparged

I posted this while I was listening to Kim Carnes and then I took a picture of Bette Davis and a picture of Gowron opened up a photo editor and something unfortunate happened.

A picture of Gowron with Bette Davis' eyes shopped in with the caption "All the boys think he's a spy. He's got Betty Davis eyes" it was posted to Star Trek shit posting on facebook

Prepping everything for a Sunday morning brew session. My assistant brewer, my daughter, loves getting me to make orange colored ales because she thinks they are pretty.

It's always "What is a woman" and not "who is a woman" with these Fascist Adjacent Radical Transphobes. Women, trans and cis alike, are just objects to them. A commodity to trade around for their agenda.

You should have just called this "the evangelical in the mirror" because evangelicals are all of those bad things and Pharisees are just Jewish people.

For me, fall and winter beers are perfect for fixing chemistry and efficiency issues. I like malty beers this time of year, and those flavors mask little issues better. This next beer's base malts will be Maris Otter and Munich malts. I've done variations of this beer before and it's delicious.

Doing my water chemistry before brewing Sunday. My brew house efficiency has taken a bit of a hit since we moved to New Mexico, so I'm focusing on my old house standard chemistry. I've also moved temp monitoring to the middle of the mash and recalculated my strike water volume, which was a bit low.

The false sense of Balkanization from many members of both parties is wrongheaded. Throw in the interdependence of the states for survival and it's even more wrongheaded.

Wow. It's like the president gets all his information from the blackest part of his shriveled soul, Fox news, and a shitty little racist who's mad because someone made him pick up his own trash in school instead of making a brown skinned person do it.

U.S. District Judge April Perry says it comes down to a "credibility determination."

"I simply cannot credit [the Trump administration's] declarations to the extent they contradict state and local law enforcement. … DHS' perception of events are simply unreliable."

#BREAKING A federal judge say she will grant "in part" a request by the state of Illinois for a temporary restraining order against the deployment of National Guard troops into the state.

U.S. District Judge April Perry is still ruling and has not outlined the details of her order.

I wrote a 15 page thesis proposal half drunk the night before my professor expected it using books I forgot to take back to the library. Got it accepted, wrote the thesis, got drunk while I edited it down for submission to a peer reviewed journal and got it published.

I wrote a 15 page report on heraldic symbolism in medieval armor and weapon design for my art history class the night before it was due (8am class). Made up 90% of it (only found one book for reference) and got an A. GenAI could fucking never.

He's Gowron, but only looks like that because he's always expecting a kick in the crotch.

Forecast for Sunday is a low of 61F/16C and high of 70F/21C and I'm thinking that might be a perfect morning to brew some good ale.
