Reupped my supply of @mbcbrews.bsky.social Minocqua Brewing Company beers. Perfect time to enjoy the Antifa OktoberFIST! The only shame was they wouldn’t deliver their Snowflake winter ale to Cali.

I am so going to miss 21st Amendment beers! Sadly they’re shutting down. I’ll especially miss Bitter American and Fireside Chat. Oh and the cheese curds at the taproom. #21AintheWild

I ran into someone who has the same shirt I’m wearing. Turns out he lives down the street! Good to know a kindred spirit lives nearby.

I’ve been listening to @onthemedia.bsky.social for almost 2 decades and have been supporting WNYC monthly for years. Their coverage of the intersection of media and politics is outstanding. Now is the time to help if you can.
On The Media is the one podcast I never miss. Also, if you have the ability, consider donating to OTM to keep them going. Our financial support—and their critical coverage—is needed now more than ever.
Once again, @onthemedia.bsky.social has served up some critically important and poignant interviews. It’s a must listen this weekend. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/o...

D00d! The etymology of “dude” is more interesting than I thought!

www.npr.org/2025/07/30/n...
Dude, the history behind the word dude is wild
The word "dude" is often associated with the '80s and '90s. But its origin is rooted much, much farther back in American history and it took a long and winding road to reach the coast of California.

Cory Doctorow is back on @onthemedia.bsky.social talking about enshittification again. Money quote, about the high cost of printer ink: “you are printing your grocery lists with colored water that costs more than the semen of a Kentucky Derby-winning stallion”
