“Something is shifting. They are still breaking things and stealing things. And they will keep trying to break and to steal. But the propaganda magic around the oligarchical coup is fading. Government failure, stock market crash, and dictatorial alliances are not popular.” — Timothy Snyder

Dear Manager, 1. I drank a whiskey drink. 2. I drank a vodka drink. 3. I drank a lager drink. 4. I drank a cider drink. 5. I sang the songs that remind me of the good times; I sang the songs that remind me of the better times.

Beer Tourism 🧵 1/x. Last summer we went to Munich where I’d planned to take a brewer’s course at Weihenstephan. The course was canceled so we went anyway and I did a pilgrimage to German lagers, starting from where else but Marienplatz. We also visited Prague and Salzburg, past and future threads.
