It’s sparked a debate about issues that largely go undiscussed in craft beer, an industry that Dogfish Head founder Sam Calagione once famously called “99-percent asshole-free.” Suddenly, consumers are asking questions about labor practices, beer pricing, and what role hype plays—good or bad—in craft beer.

...because none of the people on that list have suffered consequences, aided and abetted by figures you would probably associate with the left? What are you talking about?

It’s really telling how the right likes to gleefully proclaim that “the left eats its own,” as if enforcing moral consistency in your own community is somehow misguided. But then, I guess that’s how you get a tax-dodging rapist liar as the preferred candidate of evangelicals. 

Um, you know Sagan was pretty well known for insisting that all the tax money for Reaganite military programs should be re-apportioned into free college tuition and universal healthcare.

I know a bunch of people are already saying “yes,” but FWIW, I’ve read a number of articles where people who have done linguistic analysis claim so.

And I’m just heartstruck that you think so.

And Trump won the electoral college.

Why would they want to replace an agency George W. Bush invented in 2003 as part of the War on Terror? 

And no, “tax the shit out of the rich” is not an acceptable answer.

McCaskill lost because she’s not progressive. She steered clear of the broadly popular minimum wage, medical marijuana, and anti-gerrymandering ballot measures, choosing instead to campaign on being endorsed by the Border Patrol, not being “like those other Democrats,” and not letting the ACA get any worse. Maybe if…

I guess this is Monday-morning quarterbacking, but what I keep thinking about is how CLEAN and minimum wage passed by like 70%, but moderates were treating them like a third rail. I was canvassing all fall for a friend running for state rep out in the burbs, and she was always saying that if anyone asks she wants it…

Wow, that was a whole lot of inference about a stranger from “I’m gonna take the week.”

I keep encouraging people to do a modified version of a CBT exercise a therapist gave me. Make two columns in your head or on a piece of paper, on one side list all the things you reasonably expected them to win that they didn’t, on the other side list all the things they did win. There’s just no math by which this…

Good god, where to begin?

I’m in Missouri too--hey, Amendment 1, Amendment 2, Prop B. Nothing to sneeze at, yeah? Progressive issues won across the country last night, even for us. That should be more than a little cheering, it seems to me.

This. He didn’t just give Trump a 1/3 chance when everyone else from the MSM to super wonks like RCP and Sabato were basically calling it an impossibility, but he called the specific mechanism by which it would happen in pretty exact detail. For weeks before the election, every 538 post was about how it was possible…

I think OP nailed it too, but the lines that jump out to me are:

Lol, I was assuming that the Venn diagram of moon landing skeptics and people outraged by Starbucks holiday cups is concentric circles. I’m pretty sure Buzz Aldrin could still kick my ass, so I'd never risk it.

Neil Armstrong would need to have gone to the moon in order to plant a flag there.
