If you've never been to the brewery before, you may not know it's a bit of a museum. August Schell purchased this kettle in 1889 for $25000. Five years earlier he spent $5000 on his retirement home. Priorities, right?

I have a friend who didn't wear a helmet for years. I told him once in a not preachy way "you really should get a helmet Tom, things happen quick" He got one, and one day on the bike path he hit some loose gravel and went down. Lost a couple teeth and wrecked his helmet, but it could have been worse

I look at helmets more of a safety feature when I do something foolish (like taking a gravel turn too quickly) rather than it's saving me from a car.

Can y’all please be on the lookout for my bike? Last seen in Elliot Park. It is a black Biria bike with red pedals and stickers of local news orgs on the bottom tube. It also has a Brooks saddle and adapters for Wolf Tooth pogies on the handlebars.

Biria bike with a sign that says “300 Campground”

It’s important to flood social media and news channels with news about how ICE lies, so that potential jurors see it.

Earlier this year, Dr. Jane Goodall sat down for an interview for Brad Falchuk’s new Netflix series, Famous Last Words.

The premise of the series is to interview people on the condition that the interview not air until the subject has passed away.

Trump told NBC on Sunday that he saw some Portland riot footage on Fox and thought it reflected current events.

It didn't. It was 5 years old, from the George Floyd aftermath.

And we learned that due to the diligence of a local TV reporter, who got the transcript.

www.cjr.org/laurels-and-...

Trump referenced a weekend conversation with Oregon Gov. Tina Kotek, and he alluded to being told by Kotek that the reality in Portland is different from what’s being portrayed to him.

“I spoke to the governor, she was very nice,” Trump said. “But I said, ‘Well wait a minute, am I watching things on television that are different from what’s happening? My people tell me different.’ They are literally attacking and there are fires all over the place…it looks like terrible.”

To be fair, the founders probably never anticipated a President trying to become a King and 40% of the population saying "this seems awesome" while other parts of the government were constantly giving away their Constitutional power.

Peter Sagal @petersagal.bsky.social · 9d

You may have heard my arguments against the Electoral College before. Here’s a new one the Founders never anticipated:

If the President is elected by popular vote, he probably wouldn’t selectively punish entire states for voting against him.

Oregon is set to lose an additional $400 million in federal grants awarded for climate action and is among more than a dozen Democratic states losing federal funding after the Trump administration terminated nearly $8 billion for those states this week.

Also, tell me again that the Minnesota brewing industry is healthy. Because this story sure doesn't make it seem like that's the case.
