Nope, not NY. But Beermakers are Beermakers the world over it seems. 

I think there are two other important points here. The first is that everyone seems to say “Look at how Omar is being treated after just questioning Israel/AIPAC’s influence” which I think is somewhat bogus as the Congresswoman is only “questioning” those things as it relates to the bigger picture of her views on…

I get what you’re saying and everything and I generally agree.....BUT!

I sort of agree with that but it isn’t like Davis is violating the terms of his contract by refusing to play with the Pelicans. He’s just voicing a desire to be traded from them. The Pelicans would be well within their rights to say no and expect him to keep playing but the reality of a talent like Davis wanting to…

Sir, the Overly-Defensive Readings we’re picking up...they’re off the chart. 

Someone in my life recently quit their job and started a microbrewery and let me tell you that as bad as your beer drinking snobs are with their talk of hoppy profiles and whatever they’re nowhere near as bad as people who think that because you like drinking beer, you must be interested in the chemical properties of…

See? Despite being all critical and “The Blue Jays should be trying to win and give their fans something to be excited by” Deadspin never mentions the positive aspects of keeping Guerrero in the minors. For instance, with what they pay Minor Leaguers, he won’t be able to afford three meals a day. 

I don’t agree. I think there are lots of pretty competent and accomplished politicians who don’t use twitter(or if they do it’s entirely in anodyne ways). Twitter can be a tool that can be used to establish a personal brand and, if you’re the kind of politician to whom that means a great deal then you can take…

I think her rookie mistake is probably in thinking that an issue like Israel/Palestine is really well handled via Twitter in the first place. The idea that she’d have been golden if she’d just managed to fit in an appropriate amount of specificity or nuance in the allowable 280 characters seems to be missing the more…

Depends on where in Toronto. Forest Hill or the Beaches and people are probably leaving stuff on the belt after yelling at the non-existent employees about the card machine not working. North York and Etobicoke are just stealing smokes.

Best of luck on the “We’re going to convince a Nuclear State whose religious identity is fundamental to its existence and was founded as a safe haven after the holocaust to agree to dissolve voluntarily” plan for peace. Just be careful it isn’t usurped by my competing “Everyone gets a Leprechaun riding a Unicorn”…

Personally I try not to look at these things with a view to trying to decide what’s in someone’s heart re: antisemitism so while I wouldn’t make the Omar/Williamson comparison I do think to some extent a lot of this is coming from the same place and that place is on focusing on the idea of a shady, conspiratorial…

But just to be clear the position you say that people rarely claim was claimed pretty quickly after your post and judging by likes seems to have some devotees. 

Oh holy god, yes. I have found my peoples.

So I guess where I see the difference there is that I’ve really never seen anyone who I consider a good faith actor in this debate express the opinion that any and all criticism of the Israeli government and its policies is automatically antisemitic. In Omar’s cases, with the two situations that made the news, she was…

So, I don’t agree with that law but I think your characterization of it is still a little off for a couple reasons. One your “they” there I’m assuming is meant to refer to Israel or AIPAC or whatever but I think your real beef there is with the Texas Republican Party. Creepy white southern Christians and their…

My only real issue with it, and I think this mistake gets made a lot, is the near constant suggestion that anyone who doesn’t agree with her on the Israel-Palestine conflict is doing so not because of a genuine disagreement but because they’re held in thrall by the money of AIPAC or whatever.

While I’m certain that a great deal of the charges against Ellison were bad faith and quite possibly simply reflexive shots taken at any Muslim running for office in the US I think it’s also fair to acknowledge that a lot of it had to do with his complicated past relationship with the Nation of Islam and his defenses…

I agree that the issue once again is her dodgy use of the concept of “allegiance” and the idea that people who broadly support Israel are “pledging fealty” or whatever. I want to give her the benefit of the doubt there and just say she doesn’t realize the implication there but it registers pretty hard.

I can say this emphatically in terms of the “food dislike that most often gets ignored/hardest to avoid” but Mayo-Haters have a fucking cakewalk of it compared to someone like me who hates onions. Spend one day eating restaurant food or something anyone else cooks while trying to avoid onions and I guarantee you’ll…
