Garth Brooks Says His New Nashville Bar Will Be Safe for Trans People, Serve Bud Light

I’m not a fan of country music, at least not any modern country, but I definitely admire Brooks for taking a bold stance against the hateful mindset that is prevalent amongst what is likely a not-insignificant portion of his fan base. Given the flak that Target and Bud Light have gotten, he will definitely lose fans for this. If this is reflective of his overall character, he probably won’t miss them one bit.

What is the most unhelpful advice you have received?

My dad once told me that if my relationship with god was good, my grades would take care of themselves. I know what he meant was, “if you do the things god wants you to do, you’ll also be doing well in school”, but it’s still horrible advice.

More recently, my mother-in-law has been saying to my wife that she wishes that my wife could have faith in god’s plan because it just helps her in own life so much. I always roll my eyes at this. If there is a god, and he has a plan, his plan sucks ass and he plays favorites for sure.

Roe vs Wade: aftermath?

It varies from state to state. Many red states have restricted it or banned it completely while blue states have either left it alone or taken action to enshrine it as a right in their constitutions. The real worry comes if Republicans take the trifecta of federal government at any point they could conceivably ban it outright nationwide, but they would get destroyed in the next election if they do so. Their actions thus far have energized young voters and made some longtime Republican voters question their allegiance to the party. It has definitely hurt them in some elections already. The election in ‘22 was supposed to be a “red wave” but they only barely took the House as opposed to the large gains in both houses they were expecting.
