Reading List: December 30, 2016

You guys. It’s almost 2017.

I wrote about the 20 worst political predictions of the last year at Paste. Here’s one about Titter troll Sady Doyle.

Notorious Twitter troll Sady Doyle fantasized about Hillary Clinton, having won the election, leaning in close to her husband and whispering in his ear that he’d never be as important as her.

“I warned you this day would come.”

While this may end up to be true — running the worst campaign in history, blowing a sure thing through utter incompetence and arrogance, and leading to the eradication of the species would make Clinton a far more pivotal figure in human history than her husband — let’s hope the former Secretary of State and the Democratic Party she represents are quickly forgotten after being discarded into the dustbin of history.

This futuristic political tweetfic would rear its head again when Jill Filipovic posited Michelle Obama telling her husband in bed on January 21, 2017, “it’s my turn now.” This led Twitter user @Mayafecetico to wonder if Filipovic was talking about pegging.

Hoppy beer is bad, Adrienne So writes for Slate.

Session beer is light and drinkable — it’s called session beer because you’re supposed to be able to drink several over the course of a drinking session without ruining your palate. If one of my favorite session beers was too hoppy and bitter for an avid beer drinker — for a homebrewer who is currently brewing beer to serve at his own wedding — what would he think of the famed Pacific Northwest IPAs? Do friends let friends drink only pilsners?

Remember Wounded Knee, says Peter Cole at Jacobin.

Few Americans now know that the deadliest shootings in US history were massacres of native peoples. Today is the anniversary of the largest such massacre.

The event’s common name, “The Battle of Wounded Knee,” obscures the true horrors of that day. For this was no “battle” — it was a massacre.

Here I am on DC Sentinel Radio.

One more day.
