There is something poetic about the Toys r Us turning into a craft beer and wine emporium. My #craftbeer fridge ran dry. It's grocery day.
As a year round Sublime guy living in the frozen North, that's cool man
This stuff is way nicer than having perfect green grass everywhere. Bees preferred.
Today was a good day for #craftbeer at Copper Hop
Spring in #Michigan do be like this
Happy little plants, freshly repotted.
The score The pitch count The outs The inning The error And recovery And out at first Portland is known for its witchcraft, didn't know they were baseball fans.

Alas, some beers don't last forever. This may have been a 2023 stout that finally crept it's way from the back of the beer fridge. I'm sure it was much better in its prime. Today, it's a little skunked. Don't wait, drink your #craftbeer today!
I'll take this king over any others. Love me some donut #craftbeer Is Pigeon Hill on Bluesky yet?
It's a small town, but also the seat of the country, so we get a couple big buildings. Love this place, it's home.
Look at all the sunshine on that beer. It snowed yesterday. Spring is struggling up here in Michigan. Nearly there... Austin Bros Amber made for Octopus' Beer Garden. Tons of flavor. #craftbeer
Before I looked closer I thought that was Luigi Mangione. Would have been way cooler.
I've never met someone who after experiencing #Detroit style pizza in a proper environment for the first time had ever claimed any other style of pizza superiority. In comparison, Chicago style is a soup. New York style is a slice of cardboard, stone fired is cremated crust. Fight me. ðĪŠ
And here's a mildly coffee-ish dark lager from Eastern Market brewing Co. We ended up at their Pizza and beer location behind the Masonic theatre. #craftbeer
Today in Detroit we celebrate chasing away your demons for the new year. Great party and parade. #NainRouge
Urbanrest is a delight. Good #craftbeer. Pretty at night.
It easily took me a decade to shake the last name designation. What a time.
This captain crunch peanut butter ale is uncanny. I'd swear I just took a bite of the cereal. #craftbeer Brewing is magic. âïļâĻððĶ
Good morning! Happy St Patrick's Day âïļâïļð Starting off with the French toast bacon ale. People I'm meeting are already late ðĪŠ #craftbeer
All the good flags are out here too.
Great skies and 50F is actually pretty great for a Detroit St Patrick's Day parade.
Breakfast in Detroit on St Patricks Day looked like this. Not a lot of food on the table. ðĪĢ
I'll tell you what, people cupid shuffle a whole lot better than they macarena. Band interrupts macarena with Blink 182. My favorite bar. ðĪŠ
And the DJ follows that up with Macarena in case there's anyone even older that hasn't moved yet. ðĪĢ
Cupid shuffle plays, they all start dancing like they've been doing it their whole lives. Perfect unison. Amazing really
Because 20 years before "get low" was 80's rap when these old people were in their 20's and it all makes sense again. Love Detroit, my people.
Watching people in their 60's getting down to "get low" by Lil Jon. Then I remember that song came out 20 years ago and i'd be rocking to it too. This was my jam when I worked in a kitchen for a couple years in school.
This gives me more hope. It looks like judges are guaranteed pay in the Constitution, but many services are not. The couple weeks of fees covers normal operation and afterward things start to go unfunded, furloughed or otherwise.
Is this blue or green? Bartender says it was blue, I say it's an Irish stout so it's green. #craftbeer either way!
What about second flood? Floodsies? Flunch? Solve some problems, give Florida a nice deep bath.
One of my favorite times of year. The snow has melted, but it's still cold enough for the tent. Family holiday too! âïļâïļ Local bands and #craftbeer
They have a couple weeks they can limp along on fees they collect, but after that federal courts do stop during shutdowns. It hasn't happened often enough to hear about it.
fwiw, I don't endorse either move. It's gonna be a long shitty 4 years. :(
R's don't care either way, gov't shutdown is the plan. If they get it, they can hold it over Dems and ignore any negotiation for weeks. While the courts are shutdown, the felon admin isn't stopped. This is very much lose-lose territory. Passing it unexpectedly might be the least bad option.
Your 33 million are so fresh and motivated. Bring on the merch! It will be bought.
Mute from post has been highly requested! I've been using a greasemonkey script from @lauren1701.bsky.social that adds a block and mute button right at the top of each post that's a bit quicker to navigate. I know it adds clutter, but most of what I mute are unwanted nudity, and quickly.
You're doing the thing the other side would want you to do.
Leftist voters are leftist voters. Celebrate and encourage each other so we can be stronger in every election. I'm a Bernie fan, I'm a Kamala fan, I'm a Warren fan, I'm a Biden fan. I want Dems to win every election in every state. If Bernie is getting attention, that can be good for all of us.
Bernie has a broad populist following of leftist voters that are frequently criticized by mainstream Dems simply for their race and gender. That's the narrative anyway. Amplifying Bernie drives divisive attitudes, that's why the media is highlighting him. They want you to be mad about it.
Three things Kamala lost White guys. Is what it is, it's not getting better. Pro-Palestine voters. Bigger voting bloc than she thought. Voting machines. Probably hacked. She wasn't nominated in a primary. Bernie didn't beat her, only endorsed her.
Find you a brewery that plays 2pac, Nirvana, Eminem, and Tom Petty. I'll wait. ð
It really is my favorite thing. Copper Hop Point Break blonde. #craftbeer so pretty
It's not quite spring yet but it's above 50 and they're serving outside. Win! Copper Hop's Adventureful Cookie bourbon stout for breakfast. ðĪĪ Nellie also says hi. She's so happy to be here.
would. ð
Algorithms and machine learning aren't new. Usually when people want to avoid AI it's more about generative AI art and vapid chatbots that serve mild entertainment at enormously unsustainable energy costs.
A lot of golfers left the PGA for LIV because PGA was becoming too Maga for them. It's not like they had a lot of options.
Yet we've learned time and time and time again their voters -do-not-care- until they're personally impacted. If anything they'll celebrate the damage being done if they're told it hurts the people they don't like. The louder we yell, the more they cheer, and I don't know how to change that either.
Summer is gonna be wild. It's cold out in a lot of the country right now.
"would you like a cookie?" Spiritually, ethically, and nutritionally, yes please and thank you. Coastal Dayz in Fort Myers can buy my love anytime.
Hanks Hair of the Dog Saloon knows my energy.
Had a mile walk to breakfast this morning, but now it's time to get back in the saddle. Starting light with some shorties. Red Ale, Citrus Wheat, and a Nutty Amber. With some butter crackers. All fine #craftbeer from First Flight. Made in house.
Boulevard Brewing Co has an 8.5% American Saison. Hoo-wee that's a kicker. Need a smaller glass, I'm already on a ride as it is. The Retro Room has a killer comic book bar. Lots of #craftbeer to choose from.
Of course there's also a #craftbeer in hand. The Sunset Pier Amber is cold, malty, and refreshing. The locale may have me biased. That's okay, it's on island time.
Sometimes the view is just better than the beer. I don't come here often, but when I do, it always looks like this. I hope it makes your day a little warmer.
I recommend attending a meeting at your local Dem office (even if you're not a Dem). Idk what's going on at the nat'l level, but my local has plans & candidates ready to go at the state & local level. Mine still does virtual meetings. I sat on my couch w/ Koda watching Dynamite during the mtg. ð
Bee's Squeeze from Copperpoint Brewing Co in Boynton Beach FL This is a lot nicer than the IPA I got first. Sitting on Duvall Street, day drinking #craftbeer, as is custom in these parts.
Went on a boat ride this morning. Very smooth seas, about a three hour ride. Definitely recommend for a day trip. You get a solid 5 hours in Key West... Or have friends with a couch to crash on and go all night. Boat leaves at 530 for the trip home.
Dang beer picture is out of focus. Ah well. Hazelnut Brown Ale from Rogue Ales. Not a bad #craftbeer start to lunch.
El cerveza nocturna from Fort Myers Brewing Company. #craftbeer I didn't know they made dark Mexican lagers but this is pretty tasty. A little bit of corn tortilla flavor as a base for some cocoa and caramel.
Shell Toes malt lager at Fort Myers Brewing Company The #craftbeer is great. A nice malty lager. Oh and it's 6.8% so yeah, not a chugger. But also, man, this is so much better than hiding in my house from the blistering cold and inches of snow.
Ah, yeah. That's a lot better than 5 hours ago. Fort Myers Brewing Company. Got a Wit, red lager, amber, and a peanut butter porter. #craftbeer I might take a couple more days off. Sounds pretty cold back home.
It's gonna be a snowy winter mess up here in Detroit so I'm heading to Fort Myers for a week. Alaskan Amber at DTW. Does this still count as a #craftbeer?
I'm not hungover you're hungover Where's my thin mint girl scout cookie flavored #craftbeer? Mmmmmm
I still don't know what it says but they're pretty great.
At the Polish Sea League in Hamtramck. No one else here knows why it's named that, we're not by a seat. The Polish #craftbeer asked for it tastes like honey which isn't bad really. Tyskie by Gronie? Idk, I can't read Polish to tell what it really says.
I'm not ~not~ a fan of cream pies. OCP but Pigeon Hill. You know like the oatmeal cookies with cream in the middle. So. Good. #craftbeer
We need a beer exchange program. Like pen pals, but with pints!
My weekend has been made already. Donut fear the Fritter is one of my all time favorite #craftbeer. Pigeon Hill makes some amazing stuff, if you ever hear that name on a draft list, you're in for a good time. I haven't seen these in a year, and got the last two in house. ð
This is also a valuable resource for sky users theblue.report
ME3 came out 13 years ago. What happened? There's been an entire generation of children raised into their teens without caring about Mass Effect. Wait, are you just reposting old tweets? I bet that's what it is...
I just got an achievement from LiveJournal for 20 years of membership. Bruh. I didn't know they still existed.
Happy #beersonfriday! At a place called Howlers and Growlers to do the needful.
When you talk about tax cuts, are you referring to the elimination or reduction of publicly funded services? Or are you talking about offsetting taxes by a reduction on one bracket for an increase in another bracket? Tax cuts don't come from restructuring how taxes are collected.
Oh yeah, I can totally see why I shouldn't do this every day. Definitely gonna go get more creamer... tomorrow.
Oh noooo. I ran out of coffee creamer. Now I have to use this Kahlua that's been in my fridge for a while. Noooo.... mmm...
Please don't mine the oxygen producing deep sea rocks we know almost nothing about... What could go wrong? ð www.earth.com/news/dark-ox...
Surely there's no way this could backfire on a particular felon in chief.
We must increase our efforts to bring in those affected by terminal brainrot on both sides of the political spectrum. Rest in Pepega.
#craftbeer on a Monday? Outside my usual, but I also got a new PB at the driving range breaking 170mph on my #golf ball speed and driving 275 yards. ðŠ But also, beers. Not The Gumdrop Buttons from Prairie Artisan Ales, and a Cerveza Delray from Brew Detroit. Good beers.
Why drink bad beer? Everyone has a local brewery. Do better.
When you're the only #craftbeer drinker at the table. ð
Mmm chicken shawarma and #beersonfriday at the Copper Hop Brewing Company. This is a fantastic dog bar when it's not 5° outside. One of my easy recommendations for anyone visiting Detroit. Beer is in the mild and mellow Snow Days winter ale. Brewed in house, 6% belly warmer.
Beshear/Warren would be my dream team.
That's a funny way to say you won't be seeking re-election, but pop off king, get your people their blood money.
Now that it is tax season I remind everyone: DO NOT USE TURBOTAX. THEY WERE REMOVED FROM THE IRS FREE FILE SYSTEM AND ARE NOT BOUND TO THOSE RULES. Instead, if you make $84k or less a year, use any of the IRS Free File options found here: www.irs.gov/filing/irs-f...
People running businesses should really keep any political positions far away from the public eye. I lost a brewery this election cycle that decided to fly multiple flags out front. When asked, they basically said if you don't like it, leave. Brother, half of us don't like it. Good luck.
We used to call these tabloids. You can still find them in grocery stores. Intentionally distracting sensationalized headlines with the faintest nuggets of truth buried in them, sometimes, if you're lucky.
More likely a massive botfarm inflating the numbers to give the appearance of an alternative app. Might work anyway, people aren't that discerning.
ðĪĢ Do you have any Michigan beers? What the fuck is a Michigan beer? Do you know where you are? You look like you need a PBR. I knew I was gonna get roasted for asking but I didn't think they were gonna kick me off bud light.
Lol they don't have food ð Friend wanted to check the place out because they have pool tables. Bo Nix out slinging Josh Allen is pretty cool though.
You know, after drinking a LOT of different craft beers of all kinds, Bud Light isn't bad. It's rather sweet but has a pretty mild flavor profile otherwise. Not a lot of rice beers in the craft world to compare with.
Cash only drive bar. Smells like they still smoke indoors. No beer selection to speak of. Old phone on the wall is neat. Sign that says "Closed by SOCIALISM" covid era sign. I hope their food is good.
New beer rule. If the dog won't drink it, then don't drink it. ðĪ
In a first, my dog convinced me to not drink beer that was probably three years past its drink by date. I can do better. I'm better than bad beer. ðŠ
I have it on good faith from religious scholars who have no fucking idea what even
Whyyyyy did they immediately give up a 20s TD.. F Ohio. ðŪâðĻ
