Someone who doesn't enjoy the taste of beer has not found their favorite beer yet.
Unpopular opinion; No one - literally not a soul - actually enjoys the taste of beer. Not a single human. Those who claim to enjoy beer, don’t actually. It’s really just a social ritual, a form of self deception… the impact of decades of stacked marketing to convince you that beer is anything but an alcohol delivery mechanism. You can enjoy getting sloshed. You can enjoy the social liberation that alcohol offers. You can enjoy the party. But don’t act like you actually like the taste of beer. You don’t. You might think you do. But you don’t. Because it tastes like it looks: bitter dehydrated piss, with bubbles. In the case of Guinness, like diarrhea, with bubbles. And you know it.

It is hard to deal with being accused of something untrue. It is possible that AI detection software is imperfect, and it might be flagging certain ethnic phrases incorrectly. But many of the criticisms seem to be against checking for AI entirely. They seem like marks.

The death penalty has been unacceptable in Catholic doctrine much longer than I've been alive. And at this point I'll pray for anyone who doesn't have TDS.
It’s amazing the lengths people will go to in order to excuse the Pope showing his TDS

Today is World Against Death Penalty Day. He doesn't have to say anything about Trump but people keep projecting criticism because they know he's the first pro-death president.
Is it just me or does Pope Leo only post about politics when he disagrees with Trump and the GOP and keeps his mouth shut about political disagreements he may have with Democrats?

There's a proposed train line to my hometown which has been protested for years because people are afraid it'll bring too many black people from Camden. Racists should not have a veto point over something which will benefit the rest of us.
Abundance/pro-BAAJA proponents, as far as I can tell, seem to argue that building more faster guarantees prosperity for all, while ignoring how existing social inequities are either caused or significantly worsened by infrastructure being built without regard for community input.

Going after Whitehouse for not being pro-climate enough feels like McCarthy going after General Marshall.
Sheldon Whitehouse owning a ton of data center stock.... Huh, what else has he been in the news for lately? Oh, yeah, now the permitting "deal" makes a lot more sense!

This dichotomy suggests they don't have a good understanding of other people

As a country we put way more focus on creating legal battles and creating political alliances against oil than the construction of clean energy.
a partial list of litigations and other actions CBD has taken against fossil fuel in the past few years, as well as their main objections to the Inflation Reduction Act, primarily directed at selling of public land to the fossil fuel industry These Abundance guys are ridiculous.

Claiming doxxing when you reply on a public forum is not much different from claiming housing "in the works" but not delivering.

I have a cousin who used to live in LA but whose home burned down in the Palisades fire and was forced to leave. Bass is still failing his family. Mamdani is overseeing 4K homes at 100 Gold Street, the tallest housing project in the country. Bass lacks the same ambition.

I would love for urban mayors to compete on who can build more housing the fastest. If that were the case, Bass would flunk. It doesn't bode well that her supporters will block someone the instant there's some criticism.

This is a great bill for the working class
This modeling from Greenline Insights shows that by 2035, passing transmission reform would: 💸Lower bills by $1.1B 📉Reduce nat gas from 45% to 39% of fuel mix 📈Increase battery deployment by 65%, solar by 22%, and wind by 14% 🍃Cut emissions by 9% greenlineinsights.com/interc…

People who think abundance™ failed hasn't been paying attention. Mamdani advocating to remove environmental permits on housing? Permit reform on the city ballot? Road to Housing becoming federal law? It's just getting started.
Now that Ezra Klein and Derek Thompson have abandoned the so-called "Abundance" movement (Thompson hasn't mentioned it on X since April 2026, Klein since November 2025) can we all agree that it was a centrist grift/op and relegate it to the dustbin of history where it belongs?

The average YouTuber: human music is dead The average human: I'm choosing Texas 🤠
I am not joking when I say this. Spotify, Apple Music, and streaming in general is over. AI music is now very, very good. You just don't know yet because all AI music circulating today is from ~2-3 generations ago. Suno v6 pro et al has solved infinite personalized music.

The problem is Schmitt doesn't have normal staffers with hobbies like sports
🤡 Eric Schmitt beclowns himself during Jack Smith hearing 🤡 Schmitt concocted an elaborate conspiracy theory that Smith traveled to Atlanta to go to a Hawks game and collude with Fani Willis, and briefly displayed his "evidence" on a poster board before accusing Smith of perjury. There's just one problem -- Schmitt's facts were totally wrong. Smith was actually in Maryland at a Hawkeyes (not a Hawks) game and never met Willis. As Klobuchar told him, "You have your teams wrong." Here's the whole deeply embarrassing sequence:

If you drove 20 minutes to your town hall meeting to complain about data centers you've created more carbon emissions and more water than 10k AI prompts.
