Seattle Citizen here:

I really did not like the framing device they used in it. The central story itself was OK.

You’re kinder than me.  I felt as I watching it, like Wes Anderson had finally, truly and completely disappeared up his own ass.  

I really didn’t like Astroid City

He is. He’s not for everyone but he’s also not a poor man’s anything. He’s now got shows on HBO and Hulu. You’re missing the humor of The Curse—he’s somewhere on the cringe humor spectrum and chemistry is not the goal. Nathan for You is great and The Rehearsal is amazing.

Fielder is a comedian who started out with Nathan For You, where he played a version of himself that is deeply socially awkward, doing a Baron Cohen-style docucomedy where he tries to ‘help out’ businesses, the joke being that the ideas are over-the-top and almost always very bad. It’s ironic you call him a poor-man’s…

There is such an amalgam of good and bad information here (and in the comments section). Without writing a book, I am a former professional brewer of 15 years, and Micromatic trained draft tech. Of course that was a lifetime ago, but I don’t believe that much has changed.

I usually enjoy your work, Danny, but this post does a massive disservice to the brewing industry. It reads like you talked to one bar owner who wanted to prop himself up by denigrating others, Googled some “facts” and submitted this.

It doesn’t matter how many times they clean the lines if the bartender sticks the faucet right into the glass. I see bartenders do this even at the best craft beer bars. Beer on the outside of the faucet attracts bacteria very quickly.

Not a joke. She legit has a cooking show on Fox Nation.

It’s pretty said that I can’t tell if that is a joke or not.

The real test will be to see if he pops up on any TV cooking shows. Maybe he’ll get his own cooking show on Fox Nation like Paula Deen. 

This ain’t it....

I’m puzzled by the tone of this article. Tracy Chapman is primarily a folk/blues singer, not a country singer. So it makes sense to me that she hadn’t been “honored” by country music, until recently, after a country singer did (I assume, haven’t heard it) a country rendition of her famous song Fast Car.

This video illustrates her approach to songwriting:

Huh. She broke perimeter and was just kind of hovering behind Wembanyama, being ignored by everyone, until she reached out and security reacted.

Case in point, one of those weird hyperonline sorts.

This type of story is not a glowing start to Wembanyama’s nascent NBA career,

Proof that rich people aren’t worthy of praise or even attention.

Hey, if a childless person like myself can no longer vote, does that I no longer have to pay taxes, because remember “No taxation without representation.”
