Only 5.8%?!?

Wimps!!

 

Lmao stone brewing have always had such a suburban white boy pop punk energy about them their entire existence. Corporation dressed up as for the craft and the little guys.

 

The Simple Plan of craft breweries!

 

I passed the post office in my town today and there’s a group of people in front of it with signs that say “Crush the Green New Deal” and “More Nukes, Less Kooks”

 

Honestly, I was trying to think of a band that fit, and that’s a pretty damn good one

 

Between that and the right wing pro-life protestors at Kamala's arrival it Guatemala, I'm convinced it's just all paid protestors right now

 

I've really never been a big fan of Stone. Can't think of too many beers of theirs I've liked

 

'Lockdown' states like California did better economically than 'looser' states like Florida, new COVID data shows

Shocking! Not like anyone knowing any better tried to tell this to people for the last year!

 

Senate Democrats missed their window to undo most of Trump's last-minute rule-making

 

The Slim Jim guy is showing his age.

 

They did that to me and I thought I was going insane

 

I have never done it but have looked at it. I was not aware that they have mileage limits on most cars, though you can filter cars by mileage limits now and they do have cars with unlimited mileage but how many depends on location of course.

 

Context collapse strikes again.

It should be noted that beer is no longer brewed, it was brewed once a few years ago and Stone dropped their relationship with NOFX and stopped brewing the beer after the terrible comments NOFX made about the Las Vegas Shooting. The foundation they donated the proceeds to provides trauma counseling to first responders (yes, including police).

 

originally I had thought movie pass was just a ploy by some clever tech guy to fleece angel investors into letting people see cheap movies but I guess it was really just a ploy by some tech guy to fleece angel investors into lining his own pockets

 

Fuck, I didn't even notice the NOFX connection. Good call.

 

Yeah, there's enough to criticize Stone about (though they do make some good beers) but there they at least tried to do something good when faced with a bad situation.

 

Why Senate Democrats reversed few of Trump's 'midnight rules'


“The Congressional Review Act allows lawmakers to eliminate recently finalized regulations quickly, requiring only simple majorities in both the House and the Senate. (Such resolutions cannot be filibustered in the Senate.) But it allows a limited time to act: After a rule is finalized, lawmakers must introduce a resolution of disapproval within 60 days that Congress is in session. In the early months of the Trump administration, the Republican-controlled Congress used the law to eliminate 14 Obama-era rules.

During the Biden administration, Senate Democrats passed resolutions to eliminate only three Trump rules during the same period — and the deadline for Senate action closed the last week of May. The resolutions would halt the Trump administration's rollback of methane emissions standards, repeal a rule that gives employers certain advantages when workers file bias claimsagainst them and stop lenders from circumventing caps on high interest rates. The resolutions still need the House's approval and President Joe Biden's signature to become law, although there is no deadline, and they are expected to be successful.”

This party is just pathetic.
