While its been discussed in every comment thread here for the past 48 hours, we’re going to discuss the drugs that fell out of Neil Young’s ass.
This is my review of Komes Imperial Amber Ale:
On the off chance somebody here has less time to devote to this site than I do or lives under a rock. The run down:
- Joe Rogan is once again, a media pariah over his views on the COVID vaccine. Its sparked debate over censorship from the usual places but he actually has defenders from places you might otherwise be surprised.
- Notable aging hippie, Neil Young, then issued an ultimatum to Spotify, the exclusive platform for Rogan’s podcast, to either remove Rogan or remove Young’s music from Spotify. He has an extensive career and is on a lot of playlists.***
- Turns out Rogan is a bigger cash cow so they removed Young. Its not a big deal, because he sold the rights to a lot of his music so not only is he filthy rich he has no say what they do with his music either. It also means this costs Young little to nothing.
What is truly ironic about this is Neil Young made a career out of protesting authority during his heyday, enriching himself and arguably American culture through his right to free speech. Had the culture moved to such a place in his day, Old Neil might be telling Young Neil to shut the hell up and get a real job. After all there was a war to win, and a bunch of hippies protesting involvement in Vietnam was detrimental to the war effort.
I keep on crampin on the terlut!
I find this to be encouraging news. While it is fashionable these days to detest the Baby Boomer generation, their influence on this country’s institutions is finally showing evidence of waning. Its only a matter of time before these shriveled raisins shelve their CAPS LOCK key, retire to their 1100 sqft homes worth $1.5 million, and leave their executive level positions within the petty fiefdoms they built for themselves within corporate America. No, you didn’t sell out when you completely forgot about saving for retirement when you stuck around working for an additional 15 years past the point where you were worth a damn at all. Its cool, because you gave us all Medicare? No, you gave yourselves Medicare and left me with the bag. So desperate to accumulate enough to fund a high yield, monthly dividend investment fund to your broker’s minimum amount, you are in the waiting room with a guy nearly a half your age for the interview for a mid-career position. “Hey where do you find the voting buttons on the email thingy?” Its next to the entrance at Wal-Mart asshole, no I don’t need any hand sanitizer right this minute. Its my time to fuck over future generations!
Sorry about that.
Once again, the good folks from Poland find ways to make Americans look pathetic. Komes did what Eastern Europeans do best: pick something out of American culture from a decade prior and make it an over the top caricature of itself. Its a 10% abv amber ale! Where was this in my 20’s? Plus its imported from an emerging market so its comparatively cheap as hell. This kicks so much ass. Komes Imperial Amber Ale: 4.3/5
***ETA: Peter Frampton and Barry cocksucking Manilow also asked Spotify to remove their music in protest. Not that the average Spotify user has any idea who the hell any of these guys are.
****ETA: While I do not take back my slur, Barry Manilow denied this.
That looks Hella good, and fuck Karen Young,
YOU LEAVE BARRY ALONE!

Another day, another diatribe on boomers.
I will acknowledge that being born in the second half of the boom and following the first half of the boom around my entire life, I do pretty much hate the early boomers myself.
I think the generation is too long. I have little in common with early boomers myself.
IMO Boomer cutoff should be 1955 or 1956.
Yeah, but if you look at the curve – that’s pretty much the peak.
I tend to agree.
I think the problem generation, if you will, is those old enough to remember World War II but not old enough to fight (so born around 1930 or so), to those old enough to have the Vietnam War and Watergate be big parts of the political formation (so around 1955).
The 80s especially (musically, probably the disco era as well) were a reaction to them, and Gen Z/young Millennials is a reaction to the 80s, so we’ve two cohorts going up against us Gen X people.
The cultural influences of: Kennedys as Camelot; every struggle being compared to the civil rights movement of the 60s; and use of the -gate suffix for every fucking scandal can’t end soon enough.
It will never end, because those events which would be sufficient to inspire new terms will be defined/named using the old.
Did they really name the latest generation Alpha. I’m thinking it should be Beta.
OK boomer
Another day, another diatribe on boomers.
As a (supposed) millennial I too am hit with generational stereotypes, so this was not directed at you, or anyone specifically.
I should note I was a tad salty when I wrote this as I was informed at work the boomers in corporate managed to brow beat the Xers in the office I currently work to once again move me to a different section in the corporate structure that requires somebody to actually do the actual work rather than attend meetings where they discuss work that still hasn’t been done.
This is the third time in the last 8 months this happened. None of these moves involved a salary increase….
That blows. Sorry MS.
I got to the hiring manager with two other companies in the last few weeks. I’m confident I can shake them down.
I feel the same way.
Neil Young got shot in the balls? Giggity.
I’m on the early end of Gen-X. My next brother is 6 years younger than I am and my youngest is 8 years. I feel a world away from both boomers and my brothers. It’s like there’s this little tiny slice of time (~5 years) in the 60s that its babies are just floating around on their own out here.
’63-’69 IMO, our own minigen
I was born two years after the Boomers closed shop
but I was born in a place that is at least two decades behind the times
I continue to have more in common with people who are ten years older than me than five years younger
some of that socialization is that history only goes one way
I share Gilligan’s Island and B&W Andy Griffith and Thomas Jeffereson and Creedence Clearwater with basically everyone
but I was too old for Sesame Street, She-rah, Eminem
I got Romper Room and Captain Kangaroo and Nu Zoo Review, Schoolhouse Rock, Saturday morning cartoons, Justice League, a little Sesame Street and Electric Company here and there. I got LOTS of Disney (my mom loved those movies and would save up to take us). My favorite is Pete’s Dragon.
I got Gilligan’s Island and Andy Griffith and Lost in Space, too, but I also got Love Boat and Knight Rider and Fantasy Island (*wistful sigh*), Breakfast Club and Wargames and Romancing the Stone and Ferris Bueller (which my dad loved for some reason because he usually hated douchebags).
My kid loves Wargames. She wears AC/DC, Rush, Led Zeppelin, and Pink Floyd tee shirts along with Muse (newer, but still 20 years old). Her cohort doesn’t seem to like much of anything her generation put out.
Point of Order, wouldn’t that be Superfriends, not Justice League?
not the Justice Friends though
https://dexterslab.fandom.com/wiki/Justice_Friends
tEcHnIcAlLy CoRrEcT iS tHe BeSt CoRrEcT
Oh, my group (born in the mid-late 70’s) watched both. Superfriends is well remembered for making Aquaman a joke, and Justice League (and the sequel series) were amazingly well done. Just clarifying which one from which era.
They are all just pale imitations of The Mighty Heroes – https://youtu.be/R9Wq6cNdSGo
that looks stupid.
According to child birth-order theory, I’m an “only child” and we were a tight extended family, so I ended up hanging around with a lot of old people (as in, the WWI cohort), and not so much people my parents (pre-boomer cohort) age. Then I went to a private Baptist school. I think “old” sometimes.
I consistently dated/married older guys after college.
Not on purpose, just because we related better than I did with same-aged dudes. My current marriage is stretching it a bit (1974 & 1958) but it still works. Mostly.
Does kind of suck now that effects of aging show up and remind us of the inevitability of mathematics.
Similar may December, and yes it sucks.
Hang in there.
Even the young’uns aren’t guaranteed even a minute more. Make the best of what you’ve got now.

[growls] Your husband isn’t that old.
We have a supermarket here that, thanks to our wonderfully diverse demographics, has mostly Mexican/Central American/South American groceries but devotes 4 whole aisles (out of 13) to Polish products. Also, their entire bottled beer selection is Polish (apart from Delirium Tremens), with most bottles being $2 each. The Poles make some damn fine beer.
Krakow kicks ass, as did Hamtramck MI once upon a time, but the real questions as to culture are: where is Poland and who is Polish? What we call Poland was Pomerania and Prussia….did they really move everybody?
In Geoffrey Wawro’s book about the Franco-Prussian War, he relates several anecdotes of soldiers from Bavaria complaining about Prussian leadership and not really wanting to invade France at the behest of “Pollacks and Pomeranian hicks.”
Pollacks and Pomeranian hicks
de Kalb ~ Schwaebisch
von Steuben ~ Preußisch
Kościuszko ~ Pole/Lith
we had a few of similar visit
Yes they did.
I remember the World Book Encylopedia set we had when I was a kid had an article showing Poland, and how Warsaw moved from being near the western border of Poland to being near the eastern border from the 1500s (Polish-Lithuanian kingdom) to after World War II.
Lots of people were forcibly moved after 1945, but try suggesting that the Sudeten Germans have the same so-called “right of return” as the Palestinians.
Prussia was deliberately annihilated.
Not unjustifiably either.
Yes they did.
I knew it was a slew; I never knew the percentages. Of course, the Russians were going to get what they wanted…..what they earned by many calculations.
Along that note, there are basically the same number of Muslims in India proper today as there are in Pakistan.
That’s where that little fucking kickdog came from?!?
wonderfully diverse demographics – racist dog whistle much?
Joe Rogan look at my life I’m not like you.

Lot of that lately.
Well, I braved a couple paragraphs of that Jacobin piece. I didn’t stick around long enough to get whatever point they were trying to make, which I can only guess from the title is something about how the Science! isn’t doing a good enough job convincing the stupid rubes to IFLS.
Well, I braved a couple paragraphs of that Jacobin piece. – that us a good way to get guillotined if that is what you want
Nothing could’ve convinced Americans to stay unvaccinated more than Democrat leadership. Joe Biden proclaiming “if you get the vaccine, you won’t get covid” right before the CDC totally undermined this claim was probably not all that great for vaccination.
And nothing could possibly make people trust vaccines less than censoring those with challenges to the narrative.
“I’m not sure”
“SHUT UP AND OBEY”
“OK, now I’m convinced”
I didn’t get far either, I was just surprised they began with that premise.
I read it. The author takes apart the government and so called experts until about the last paragraph. Then he gives us Marxist solutions.
He thinks Rogan is a joke but doesn’t blame him. More importantly, he absolutely derides the call for censorship. New Marxism I suppose.
Compassionate Marxism
*ETA: Peter Frampton and Barry cocksucking Manilow also asked Spotify to remove their music – also Joni Mitchell
myself I blame Rogan for my covid
never trust Polish beer they are the main fuckers who put shit like fruit juice in it
the main fuckers are Belgian…..yeesh
reminds me of a great joke about the RAF colonel….some other time, maybe
I mean in the East It it Polish and Hungarians… Maybe the baltics but those don’t count as east
there are Trappists in Italy, for that matter, but the fuckers putting prunes in the beer are in Rochefort
there are Trappists in Italy – but they make Peroni like the rest of em
I don’t think I’ve seen a Polish fruit beer at any of my locals. German radlers, Belgian fruit beers, American fruit beers, those there’s lots of.
Same here.
Isn’t a Radler not a fruit beer, but a mixed drink of beer and lemon soda?
Generally correct. Grapefruit pop is also used. They’re also sold pre-mixed in cans and bottles with the most widely spread being the Stiegl. Some American craft breweries have taken to calling various fruit beers radlers (generally low ABV) as well. I’m not a fan of that trend. Shandies are the same thing, just a different name.
I had a bottled Radler in Köln. I was at Früh for breakfast before they tapped the Kölsch kegs for the day. A bottled Radler was the best I could do. I was…. unimpressed.
I have not Stiegl Radler, but have seen it. When I was in Salzburg, I stopped in at the Stieglkeller for a beer. An American tourist was holding up the line asking in English if they had an IPA. Right in front of him, in both German and English, was a sign announcing that the Stieglkeller had just tapped their Pale Ale. Yes, it’s not an IPA but it’s related and the closest he will get in the land of light lagers and wheat beers. The staff didn’t speak enough English to help him. I came close to saying something when one of the Austrians in line suggested he get the Stiegl Bräu because it is a very Austrian beer. The tourist ordered that… and I’m certain later cursed the place for having shitty beer.
The Stiegl Radler is a summer go to amongst my group of friends. Especially on bar crawls or full day bike rides. Under 3% ABV, tasty, refreshing, and cold.
Not just lemon and not soda. I’m not sure if fruit juice gets added to the beer or fruit is part of the brewing process. Help us Neph!
It’s not part of the brewing process. For a Radler, they’re blended afterwards.
When blended at a bar, it’ll generally be citrus (lemon and grapefruit being the most common that I’m aware of) pop and lager. You can also find similar blends with hefeweizens, but they’re less common.
I have also seen pomegranate and raspberry blends from Germany.
American breweries don’t generally hold to that. One of our locals had an Imperial Radler on their menu… which was over 6% ABV, which defeats the purpose of a radler.
We once had two very nice Scottish girls come into the Bourbon St. bar and ask me for a shandy. I had no clue what it was, so they taught me how to make it. They liked the results so much, they spent most of their two week vacation drinking with us. Miller High Life and raspberry lemonade FTW!
Yeah, what the Brits cause lemonade is a carbonated lemon pop, not what we would consider lemonade. It’s something to keep in mind when translating cocktail and drink recipes from across the pond.
7up / Sprite.
“False friends”: not just for them furrin tungs!
Radler is something to be ignored.

how do you people know all this obscure music
For better or worse, I still have a very good memory, and can remember all sorts of stuff, from lots of music I’ve heard and movies I’ve seen to less-than-enjoyable childhood experiences.
? ?
Time flies when you’re having fun. La Huasteca was a pretty good joint. Got some Tacos Birria (new to me), consomme was a tad too spicy and flan. Dos Equis lager bottle.
Not bad…a lot on the menu and within walking distance so I will definitely be going again.
Time flies when you’re having fun – this is why I never have fun
Or as one frog said to the other, “Time’s fun when you’re having flies!”
If Mr. Young no longer owns the rights to his music, then why care what he “demands”?
If anything, wouldn’t the company who owns his catalog have a case against Spotify for dropping the music?
Correct. As far as I am aware, they are dead silent.
Is Spotify under any obligation to play music? I would think it would be the other way around where if Spotify played a song they would owe a fee to the music’s ‘owner’. I guess I’m thinking it’s like radio and maybe its a different type of fish altogether. Insert shruggy punctuation thing.
I would think so. I would also think Young has some sort of contractual obligation to not interfere with the marketing of his music. Ol’ Neil may have bought himself a lawsuit.
I don’t get that, I could see if he was under contract with a record label they might have some kind of control over him while under that contract, but just because some third party bought the publishing rights to his catalog It doesn’t follow that he would be under any obligation to them.
I don’t know what the contract says. I’m guessing it has some sort of nondisparagement close. Part of the the value of his catalog is public perception. Listeners are, in part, buying “authenticity.” If he is free to crap on his past work, that could have a significant effect on its value.
I’m guessing whoever owns the publishing rights to Mr. Youngs back catalog bought them from his old record label and they have no contractual agreement with Mr. Young himself. The fact that he can, through acting like an asshole, effect the value of that catalog is immaterial.

“No, you gave yourselves Medicare and left me with the bag.”
This.
I’m a Gen X person and I’ve got to work until I’m 67 if I want full government benefits. A college professor (us Govt class) told my class that we should absolutely plan for our retirement as if SS and Medicare did not exist.
I heeded his advice and have scrimped here and there to save for my retirement, etc. But now the mother fucking lazy ass government workers and “People’s Representatives” are eyeballing my 401k?!? They talk about the bountiful amount of “collective” retirement savings people have—collective, my ass!!!
That is what would easily bring on the revolution.
Same here but I heard it from that professor at Marquette that posts his lectures on YouTube.
I’ll have to look that guy up.
The brazen lust in the eyes of the would-be redistributors of wealth, for Justice and “Equity” dontchaknow, is so obvious and yet the sheep graze, follow, and submit.

Thank you, sir.
I’m a Gen X person and I’ve got to work until I’m 67 if I want full government benefits. A college professor (us Govt class) told my class that we should absolutely plan for our retirement as if SS and Medicare did not exist.
An uncle of mine explained to me how Social Security really worked – you pay in, the government takes it cut, and that money goes out to current retirees.
Your money is gone.
When he retired and collected Social Security, he told me, “I just want my money back.”
When I reminded him of what he taught me and that his money is gone, therefore he’s getting my and his kids’ money, he shut up and never brought it up again.
Government intrusion into our lives, no matter what the justification, engenders resentment and division within families and tribes.
And generations.
Other than this, he and I got along well.
He died before the Covid Insanity. Who knows what would have happened between us during that. I’m going to guess similar to most of the rest of my family: He would be a Covid Cultist to some degree.
I was given the same advice (don’t expect it to be there), and lo and behold, here I am on the cusp of collecting.
Don’t even imagine those collecting will ever accept a benefit cut. Everyone younger will eventually have to work to 70, maybe even later. Which given life expectancy and the diminishment of the labor pool makes sense – remember the whole purpose of SS was to get old, high earners out of the workforce.
I can’t believe it’s even within the realm of polite conversation.
But at this point I think it’s a toss up whether the ? resist it or not – either way, it’s the end of the experiment.
I’m going to get this out of the way now. Rip the bandaid off as it were.
I watched Super Troopers. For the gross-sex-dude-romp genre, I liked The Hangover way more. And I didn’t like The Hangover all that much.

Fresh Market had ribeyes on sale.
That is all.
Bought two
In store special: two filets for $20. Bought them too.
Sigh… the only locations near me are an hour and a half away on the other of Brooklyn. Ribeyes are $19.99 per lb. here but still yummy enough to be worth it. OMG, I love ribeyes.

Pass.
Ehh, not the dumbest thing I’ve ever seen at SHOT. I have a major folding guns fetish, though.
But for a 9mm Luger squirt gun, I want something a lot smaller when stowed. My CMMG/Shield Arms SBR is barely over a foot long, folded.
https://www.maximdefense.com/product/pdx/
Completely impractical. I’d still like to put one in the safe.
Yeah. You lose a lot of what makes rifle calibers great, running them out of a barrel that short. Plus, I built my PDW with the idea of working around, and possibly from inside, cars. I’m *NOT* firing an unsuppressed rifle inside a car with no earpro on. The 9mm would be bad enough.
The one thing I miss with my PDW rig is the ability to fire with the stock folded. But, ultra-compact rifles are gonna involve some comprimises…
Just picked up my new gun this morning. I went with the Sig Leigon in .45 ACP. Lightly used for 900$
Sweet.
For the past few years, I’ve been looking in a desultory fashion for a pre-64 Winchester 100 with a dinged-up stock, functional but not so nice that I’d feel like it’s got collector value. Why? I want to see if I can build a bullpup hunting rifle, based on the Model 100, with a nice wood stock. The trigger would be the catch, as the forward-mounted grip and trigger would have to run some kind of connection back past the magazine, while still producing a nice crisp pull. The scope mount would have to go on the barrel, and those guns don’t exactly have big bull barrels, so there’s another problem.
Another thing I’ve wanted to try is to convert a Model 100 to shoot the .358 Winchester. The Model 88, which is the lever-gun version of the Model 100, was available in .358 but not the 100. As far as I’ve been able to determine Winchester made precisely one Model 100 in .358 as an experiment, so it should work. The .358 is just a necked-up .308, so rechambering/reboring should do the trick.
As if I don’t have enough wanna-dos on my list as it is.
I’m not sure what to say to that. Good luck?

If only Derpy was here, I could rant about how the CAPS LOCK key makes no goddamn sense and never should have existed. I’d explain the SHIFT LOCK key to him.
Why not? Shift lock is for mechanical typewriters, to move the entire set of keys. If you’re using a computer, do you need the non-letter keys shifted too?

Freedom. Horrible, horrible freedom!
The protesters plan to stay in downtown Ottawa near Parliament Hill for at least the weekend, and their demands have grown from reversing the border vaccine mandate to ending all such mandates nationwide.
“We want to be free, we want to have our choice again, and we want hope – and the government has taken that away,” Harold Jonker, a truck driver and trucking company owner, told the BBC as he drove through the town of Brockville, about 115km (72 miles) from Ottawa on Friday.
The convoy has been peaceful as it passed through Canadian towns and cities, and Ottawa police have said they’re in touch with organisers, who’ve been cooperative.
But police say they are concerned about how the convoy has attracted extremist rhetoric, and some far-right groups have suggested they might also head to Ottawa.
“The demonstrations this weekend will be unique – fluid, risky and significant,” Ottawa police chief Peter Sloly said on Friday, noting they are “massive in scale” and “unfortunately they are polarising in nature”.
He said that police are preparing for potential parallel and counter-demonstrations and were concerned about people on social media in Canada and abroad “who may or may not come to the city” but “who are nonetheless inciting hate, violence and in some cases criminality”.
In the good old days, traitors could just be sent to Tyburn and dealt with in an appropriate manner.
But enough about the Prime Minister.
Mr Trudeau, who sees boosting vaccination rates as a key tool in fighting the Covid-19 pandemic, has accused Conservative politicians warning about possible supply chain issues of “fear-mongering” and has shown no intention of backing down.
“You’re all going to die if I don’t get to exercise dictatorial powers. Now stop your fearmongering.
So after wood stacking and burger grilling today I decided to make a run to the corner store a few miles away. On the way home I decided to make a drive by a small reservoir to see how much ice was built up. I saw a couple walking their dog and pushing a kid in a stroller on the walking path with nobody else around them. Both were fully masked up. There is not a cloud in the sky and it is a beautiful day hovering mid 40’s and these fucking people are masked up like they are walking into surgery. JFC they have broken people. That is not rational behavior. That is craziness.

Somebody is in a queenly snit, and it’s not Nikki Haley
President Joe Biden has been in office for just over a year, but former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley has seen enough: She wants him to resign.
“Honestly, for the good of our country, if Biden loved our country, he would step down and take [Vice President] Kamala [Harris] with him,” Haley told conservative pundit Guy Benson on Thursday. “Because the foreign policy situation is beyond dangerous at this point.”
Um, what?
Haley, who served as the UN ambassador during the Trump administration, has every right to raise questions about how Biden has handled foreign policy — in particular the Russian buildup of troops on Ukraine’s eastern border.
But it’s a little more than rich — and over the line — for Haley to suggest that Biden’s policies are so bad that they are badly endangering Americans, and that the only thing he can do is step down.
It’s particularly galling when you consider how the man Haley served under handled foreign policy.
OMG!
if Biden loved our country, he would step down and take [Vice President] Kamala [Harris] with him
President Pelosi?
Ewww
I had to see what their evidence of that last statement was.
I can only SMDH at the pettiness and mendacity.
So after wood stacking and burger grilling today I decided to make a run to the corner store a few miles away. On the way home I decided to make a drive by a small reservoir to see how much ice was built up. I saw a couple walking their dog and pushing a kid in a stroller on the walking path with nobody else around them. Both were fully masked up. There is not a cloud in the sky and it is a beautiful day hovering mid 40’s and these fucking people are masked up like they are walking into surgery. JFC they have broken people. That is not rational behavior. That is craziness.
Yesterday, for fun, I had a look at Zillow listings around Grand junction. But than I came to my senses.
Colorado? Nope.
There are places worse than Grand Junction. Most of them, in fact.
What’s going on here is simple: Haley wants to run for president — if not in 2024, then at some point in the not-too-distant future. (She has already said she will not run if Trump seeks the office again.)
In order to best position herself for that bid, Haley is aggressively courting the Trumpists who compose much of the Republican base at the moment. And the best way to do that is to say outlandish stuff — like that Biden, if he loved the country, should step aside. The more outlandish, the better.
Whatever.
There are places worse than Grand Junction. Most of them, in fact.
True enough, but the stench from the Front Range has overpowered the whole state.
