Zipline Brewing was going to host a political event for Pete Ricketts and Ted Cruz on Friday. The staff made noise and promised to quit or skip, so the owners just fired everyone and closed shop. If you miss the wonderful beers of Zipline in the coming weeks and months, you have Ted Cruz to thank.
Screenshot of Ig story from Zipline staffer. Text reads "I am aware of what's happening at Zipline tomorrow and I do not support it in any way, shape, or form. Neither does anyone that works at Zipline.
When AKRS bought the brewery, the founders of Zipline essentially cashed out and bolted, leaving everyone left to clean up the mess. Kevin Clark is going to run this place into the ground spouting his facsist beliefs.
The brewers, packagers, taptenders, and managers are some of the most incredible people I've ever met and they deserve so much more than this."Screenshot of story from later in the day. Text reads "For anyone who's like "what is she talking about "
The brewery my husband worked at was bought a couple years back by a Nebraska Ag company so they could expand their brewing. Turns out they're were terrible people (shock!) and over the past 3 years, they've progressively dug the brewery into the ground.
Today, they walked in and truly RANDOMLY
fired
everyone and shut down the brewery.
The biggest brewery in Nebraska with some of the finest brewers in the state, if not region.
Around 20 people now without work. Out of the blue. Very cool."

The 25th Amendment lets Congress create an independent commission and gives them (w/the VP) the power to remove a President when they’re truly unable to do the job. Not just the Cabinet. Take 30 seconds to support it:

I used to be all about clean, neutral UI’s; black & grey everything. Now if I find a bold colorful theme in an app, I’m like.. why not? Embrace the whimsy. Wallpaper also changes color 😊

Hegseth is asking for a record $1.5 trillion defense budget. Roughly half of defense spending goes to private contractors that routinely price-gouge the government. Meanwhile, the Pentagon has failed EIGHT straight audits. The military industrial complex is cheering right now.

We had a fun time! Huge thanks to Diesel JC who made the trailer we used, available on the Steam Workshop. Any modders out there want to make a really good Play Live themed one?

I’ve come to the realization that my Mac Studio’s password prompt taking almost 5 seconds to appear is due to it waiting for my Apple Watch, which I’m not currently wearing. Turning off Watch unlock makes it pop up instantly. So now I’m deciding if I’d like to give up other watch auth for this 🤔

I have this delightful little app on my Mac called Sip that lets me quickly sample colors. What has amused me lately is that 2-factor codes I copy from my iPhone get picked up as a color. So I get this little chirp and the icon changes. sipapp.io

I don’t think the political party that’s spent 30 years telling us ‘actually everyone should have guns, no restrictions ’ should try and pin the blame for political violence on the party that’s been saying ‘more guns is bad and we should have some common sense limits’ for 30 years.

Having seen two total solar eclipses myself, it’s depressing knowing how no image will come close to conveying what the Artemis II crew is witnessing right now.

Unbelievable how many fake image I see being posted claiming to be from the Artemis II mission. And then on the flip side, how many people claiming the real photos are fake. I hate this timeline.

I’m a lefty, and the hotkeys in Silhouette are mostly concentrated on the left end of the keyboard, which as resulted in this layout for me when doing roto. Finally picked up a Wacom remote so I can be more comfortable. But trying to retrain 20+ years of muscle memory is a challenge 😬

See here's the thing. It was hard arguing against a department of defense. Because it's for defense. Do you not like defense? The department of War, conversely, can get fucked from low orbit. I don't need any wars. Zero conquest required. I would like none of my money going to the lies, thanks
