We are all subject to the mighty algorithm, so I have purchased Level’s You’re My Only Hop IPA, made with Galactic hops. The nose is grassy but not very intense, however the bitterness on the finish is definitely a presence.
I like it but this is also a good reminder why we mix and match hops and grains, because the whole becomes greater than the sum.
I was gone for a week and suddenly men are in the news!
So I guess we’re gonna talk about men.
I don’t want to talk about men; look my dudes, if you knew men like women knew men, you’d chose the bear too.
Hell, I’d chose the bear anyway, because the bear is understandable. I guarantee you that in the history of the planet Earth, there has never been an attack by a bear on a human where the human didn’t deserve it.
It might not be fortunate, running into a mama bear and her cubs but if that happens, you done fucked up, not her.
Basically, I am pro-bear. I am anti-men who do not understand why the bear is preferable.
Speaking of men who would question why women want to run into a bear: people are paying attention to Jerry Seinfeld again and….well I am just going to put on my “Massively Biased” hat for a moment.
For me, Seinfeld wasn’t a funny show, and Jerry isn’t a very funny person. He hit the zeitgeist thirty years ago, and by golly I can’t deny his success. But he hasn’t contributed to comedy since then. I don’t recall Pryor, Williams, or Carlin complaining about how ‘you can’t be funny now’. I don’t read articles about Mel Brooks or Carol Burnett about how they can’t be funny anymore. Conan O’Brien, Patton Oswald, Bo Burnham, Hannah Gadsby don’t bitch. Those folks knuckle down and did work until they found a way to entertain again. You don’t blame the audience when your joke doesn’t work. YOU are the problem, not them.
I have zero fucks to give for Seinfeld’s opinion about anything, and this is all before we talk about him dating someone half his age at 34. There is no world where that isn’t creepy as fuck and we all should’ve binned this douchecanone then.
But it does make me think that part of the reason Seinfeld sucks ass so hard is because it-and by extension him- is proudly about nothing, and glorifying four assholes who are about nothing.
When you stand for nothing, then you mean nothing. Why should I care about what someone has to say when they’ve been insisting that nothing IS what they have to say for so long?
And the thing is, having a point of view matters. It’s what gives art, and by extension, life meaning. Not: ‘eh, none of it matters so isn’t it funny to talk about airline food?’
Not having a point of view is a luxury reserved for rich white guys who have no skin in the game and bears. Because bears.
