A C is a pretty massive lowball for this film. Disclosure up front: I didn’t really love Infinity War, mostly because the stakes felt cheap given that, for example, we *knew* Black Panther isn’t going to die, because his movie just made billions worldwide. A little unfair to apply that meta context to the film,…

It’s really on my list to visit Bavaria and Franconia. I’d love to spend a few days in Berlin, but those other two areas comprise my beer bucket list. Thanks for adding all this context!

This is super interesting. Thanks for your perspective. Perhaps this is just a personal bias toward German beer styles, which are some of my favorite, but when you say “I was sure that the German beer-loving people would’ve embraced craft beer brewing, but it was almost impossible to find anything but the traditional…

One-dimensional how, exactly?
If you’re going by the kind of beers they make, well...they make dozens of different beers with more than a few being dark, malty bits (yearly russian imperial variations) and smooth creamy darkness (wootstout), in addition to the IPAs they make. The barleywine Old Guardian enjoys more…

Here’s the thing, though: Greg Koch isn’t exactly wrong.

Since 2009, the US has gone from 1,500 microbreweries and brewpubs to over 7,500.

In that time, Germany has only added 200, and they are the 5th largest beer market in the world.

Most German beer is made by a small handful of large macrobrewing groups, with…

If he’s not careful, it could lead to his Ruination.

Do the Germans think Koch is being an Arrogant Bastard?

I used to live a few blocks north of Keanu’s Manhattan apartment and hence, weirdly, would bump into him... a lot. To the point at some point we knew each other visually enough to sort of nod, acknowledging the other person on 8th Ave or when he’d be just sitting, by himself, semi-low key as to not be recognized in…

Don’t these people know better than to get on a bus with Keanu Reeves? 

A couple of old friends and I met him in 1999 when Dogstar played The Blue Note in Columbia, MO. This was also not long after The Matrix was released. We were three college girls trying to play it cool because we got to go backstage. First off —

Keanu: “Hi, I’m Keanu. What’s your name? Did you guys enjoy the show?”

I…

I thoroughly enjoyed Sex Education, and am looking forward to season 2. Russian Doll was, imo, great as well, and something I don’t think gets made anywhere other than Netflix.

Does Netflix’s interface suck ass? Fuck yes it does. Is there a ton of garbage on it’s servers? Yep. Do I get option fatigue from scrolling through the plethora of shows and movies, resulting in sometimes a whole night of trying to decide what to waste my time on? I sure do.

“Nobody I know watches this” describes literally everything on CBS, but I don’t think this makes them liars. They just don’t have any shows I care about. I don’t get how a TV critic can be so confounded that The Masses have different tastes than critics.

This would certainly explain why Game of Thronesspawned an entire cottage industry while it would be remarkable if you’ve ever heard a human person talk about You or Sex Education out loud, but who can say? Not me, because I don’t and can’t know if Netflix is telling the truth—and not Netflix, because their numbers…

He still does Midnight Confessions pretty frequently. His newest thing though is Meanwhile, which is pretty good.

I think this is the perfect response. Ignoring areshats like this allows them to thrive unchallenged. Arguing with them is just pissing into the wind. But mocking the hell out of them in a way that doesn’t actually engage with their stupidity annoys them and makes them feel powerless, which is a great one-two punch.

The Westboro Baptist Church once protested outside my workplace - a newspaper in Casper, Wyoming- and this local pagan counter-protested by driving his muscle car into the lot, getting out, blasting metal, and turning his back to the God-Hates-Fags crowd showing his “Christ Is A Cunt” Cradle of Filth t-shirt. That man…

So a Westboro protest was laid to rest by Randy Blythe?

Katie? 

I regret to inform you that Autotune Cat said some racist stuff in college.
