This thread is good and Daniel is smart ⬇️
The reason we got and cannot get rid of Trump is that America is a business and he is a cash cow for way way way too many people including his ostensible opponents. He’s the Beatles of news, and that is an indicator that the news itself is broken.

Coming home after school. Turning the game on. Harry describing the action, Ryno was the action. So much of my Cubs fandom and my childhood.
With great sadness, we share that Ryne Sandberg has passed away today.

great thread about the state of the american craft beer industry, and i'm not just saying that because i'm (very briefly) mentioned in it
Ok. Let’s do that 1 like thing.
I’ve been professionally brewing and distilling for nearly 20 years.
So 1 like=1 hot take on the adult beverage industry

The #1 way to explain America working properly is by saying “comedians can make fun of he President on TV.” A good way to explain fascism is “the President forces companies to fire those comedians as a condition of allowing them to conduct business.”

If you think for one second that this decision has nothing to do with Trump, don’t worry, he will brag about it within the next 24 hours and disabuse you of that notion.
