Pigweed and Crowhill drink beer and talk about cool stuff
P&C drink and review Sierra Nevada’s Celebration Fresh Hop IPA, then talk about totalitarianism, authoritarianism, and fascism. Following up, they evaluate Rod Dreher’s “soft totalitarianism” from “Live Not by Lies.” P&C think Dreher has the label wrong.
We’re at a cross-roads. Is there time (or the will) to stop the growing tech-inspired soft authoritarianism?
P&C drink and review Old Speckled Hen, an English ale, then talk about ACAB.
Is the central intent of policing to surveil, terrorize, capture and kill marginalized populations, specifically black folk? There are people in our society who are promoting that view.
The media, politicians and similar cretins keep feeding us a narrative that we have an epidemic of white cops killing unarmed black people. Is it true?
Put on your socks before you listen to this one!
P&C drink and review a Vienna Ale, then, with special guest Longinus, continue their “shortcut to the classics” series and discuss three Jack London stories: The Law of Life, To Build a Fire, and The Call of the Wild.
These stories will make you shiver!
P&C drink Southern Belle, an imperial brown ale, then discuss problems in science.
It would be nice to believe that we can rely on science. Scientists are supposed to be dispassionate, purely rational people who follow the evidence where it leaves.
P&C call BS. Science is as influenced by politics, ideology, ambition, egos, trends and fads as anything else. So how are we supposed to “trust the science”? And what is “the science” anyway?
