With TRVE announcing the closure of its taprooms (and uncertain future of its brewery) it's highly worth revisiting this long read from @kastranec.bsky.social that evokes, fully, how fucking cool and immersive this taproom was. Copied often, never bettered.

Not Grey, Light Black — Turning the Lights on at Denver's TRVE Brewing — Good Beer Hunting
Used to be, beer was this or that—one style or another. Anymore, though, the in-between is becoming the everyday. Belgian IPAs, India Pale Lagers, and Imperial Milds are less known as interesting...

Don’t call the new concentration camp in Florida by the evil nickname they gave it and don’t call the spending bill by the stupid fucking winking term. Don’t do their branding for them Jesus fucking Christ.

F1 is such a precise, finely-tuned blockbuster machine - one without a franchise/IP, too - that it's kind of a shame that it's not being celebrated more. This is the kind of film we used to get excited about when we were kids and lament that no one is making nowadays. So here it is.

🚨 There’s a lot of horrific news out of Washington right now—but you might have missed this: Senate Republicans just introduced a plan to sell off 120 million acres of our public lands.
Let me break down what’s in the bill and why it’s a full-scale land grab. 🧵

a violinist played God Only Knows as my wife and i walked the aisle hand in hand
i have no memory of that moment other than bliss because everything was such a blur but i have a distinct memory of hearing the violinist warming up and i’ll be damned if it isn’t the most perfect song ever
RIP brian

the red sea demands bodies
Cybertrucks are piling up -- apparently no one wants to buy them -- but they can't stop making them, b/c shutting the factory down is too expensive. Great work all around.
Tesla Cybertruck inventory goes through the roof
Tesla Cybertruck is experiencing a significant increase in unsold inventory in the US and facing huge challenges in meeting initial sales expectations.

To all the trans men who need to hear it, it is totally okay to be a man. Testosterone does not make you evil. Transitioning doesn't make you a traitor to feminism. It's not internalized misogyny. Most men are good people, even if the bad ones get the most attention.
You are good.
You are good.

For the FT, I wrote an essay about why the daily experience of the Internet keeps getting worse, tipping us into madness and conflict. I gather ideas about slop, enshittification, and dead internet theory under what I call "the hostile Internet."

Trump’s sputtering response to Harvard standing up to him is yet another reason why institutions should refuse to bend the knee. He’s a paper tiger, unable to argue his own case.
