Newsweek: OK Bill Would Pay Parents $10K Each Day Their Nominated Banned Books Remain in Libraries by Justin Klawans (Dec. 27, 2021)
The Oklahoma Legislature needs to reread the 1st Amendment... but also needs to consider the impact of banning books on sexuality in a state with the 4th highest teen pregnancy rate in the USA.
The legislation comes from a "pro-life" legislator of course

Politico Biden signs $768B defense policy bill that supersized his original Pentagon request - by Connor O'Brien (Dec. 27, 2021)
Biden and Congress actually approved more funding for the Pentagon than the DOD itself asked for.
This is nuts, particularly since the US is outspending every other nation (including China and Russia) by a large margin. #DefundDOD #DefundPentagon

Yep. I said it. I don’t think unvaccinated people should be gathering in churches for Christmas Eve / Day Masses. “Love thy neighbor,” says the Savior.
Strongly agree.
Religious communities that are not taking steps to promote (or even require) common-sense measures like masking and vaccines in their communities are failing at their #1 ethical responsibility: promoting human welfare.

Review of Festivus by Anthem Brewing (Oklahoma City)
4.42/5 rDev +11.9%
look: 4.5/5 | smell: 4.25/5 | taste: 4.5/5 | feel: 4.25/5 | overall: 4.5/5
Poured from an attractive colorful can into a pint glass. Big tan head on a dark brown brew.
Subtle malty aroma. Flavor is interesting, but a little muddled. A lot is going on here, maybe too much? I'm picking up molasses (per the label), toastyness, raisins and port wine. Big crystals of sugar. All on a slightly fluffy light-to-medium mouthfeel, smooth start with a slightly prickly finish on the tongue.
I liked this one. It was crazy but definitely memorable. I would get it again.
Lastly... 9% alcohol! Hard to believe it.

Pretty amazing news! If you had told me 10 years ago that Oklahoma would have more dispensaries than any other state, I would not have believed it, but I'm really glad for it. #OKMMJ

Review of Chocolate Babka by Campanology Brewing (Wisconsin)
This was originally posted at: Beeradvocate.com
4.21/5 rDev +13.8%
look: 4.25/5 | smell: 4.5/5 | taste: 4/5 | feel: 4.25/5 | overall: 4.25/5
I got this one for a very good price at Trader Joe's. Poured from a 750 mL bottle into a glass.
Dark brown almost black with a generous tan head. Crazy amounts of chocolate aroma. The flavor is absolutely dominated by chocolate, maybe too much so. --- I think a little bit more toastiness or some hops or spices would improve this one. But thankfully this beer stays away from being too sweet (like the monstrous Birthday cake from Shiner a few years ago).
As this beer warms, I do pick up more flavors. Some raisins and port wine, but mostly lots and lots of cocoa --- really this beer feels like a mash-up of hot chocolate and beer --- which makes me think what it is missing is some chile powder and some winter spices.
Overall though, I enjoyed this beer. It was a good value for the money. Not legendary but still very good.
