Busch will give you a '3-month supply' of free beer if you adopt or foster a pup as shelters close

Great Dane Charlie Brown enjoys his daily bottle of beer in 1967.
With shelters closing their doors during the pandemic, there is a dire need for foster and adoptive homes for pets around the country.
If a new pup to social distance with wasn't enticing enough to get people to open their homes, Busch and Midwest Animal Rescue & Services in Minnesota have teamed up to offer another perk to prospective dog owners: free beer.
"Busch is bringing two of your favorite things, beer and dogs, together for a great cause," Busch said in a statement. "Anyone who fosters or adopts a dog through MARS will receive a fresh, 3-month supply of crisp, cold Busch beer."
Busch won't hand out the cold beer itself, according to the fine print. But it'll give 500 recipients — who must be 21 or over — a $100 gift card they can use to buy it.
Busch has teamed up with a Minnesota shelter offer free beer with foster dogs.

Busch also donated $25,000 to the MARS shelter, which has dozens of cats and dogs up for adoption or foster.
"If you're looking for a way to do some good right now (and have IRL companionship), this is your chance," the statement said.
Those interested in any of the pets can fill out an application and mark Busch in the referral. The promotion runs from March 25 to April 22.
The pandemic, which has prompted lockdowns around the world, has also led to a spike in pet ownership. 
Having a pet comes with mental and physical health benefits, which can be particularly helpful for people socially isolating.

That Uplifting Tweet You Just Shared? A Russian Troll Sent It

Image
Here’s what Russia’s 2020 disinformation operations look like, according to two experts on social media and propaganda. By   DARREN LINVILL   &   PATRICK WARREN Internet trolls don’t troll. Not the professionals at least. Professional trolls don’t go on social media to antagonize liberals or belittle conservatives. They are not narrow minded, drunk or angry. They don’t lack basic English language skills. They certainly aren’t  “somebody sitting on their bed that weighs 400 pounds,”  as the president once put it. Your stereotypical trolls do exist on social media, but the amateurs aren’t a threat to Western democracy. Professional trolls, on the other hand, are the tip of the spear in the new digital, ideological battleground. To combat the threat they pose, we must first understand them — and take them seriously.

The Nightmare Scenario That Keeps Election Lawyers Up At Night -- And Could Hand Trump A Second Term

The Nightmare Scenario That Keeps Election Lawyers Up At Night -- And Could Hand Trump A Second Term   (Photo: Photos: Getty Images) Americans will almost certainly go to bed on Nov. 3 without knowing who won the presidential election. Since millions of people will vote by mail, constraints on time and resources will slow ballot counting into potentially a weeks-long process. Voting patterns suggest it’s likely that President  Donald Trump  could end Election Day in the lead in certain key states, only to be overtaken by Democratic opponent  Joe Biden  when more votes are tallied.  This could create a nightmare scenario during the three months stretching from Election Day to the Jan. 20 inauguration: a battle on the state and congressional level over who is the legitimate winner. This could include Congress reconvening on Jan. 6, presided over by Vice President  Mike Pence , with no consensus over its potential role in choosing the next president. This is arguably the most likely of th

Philosophical Question #14 – Lifestyle Choices

Image
Here is an interesting question in my list of philosophical questions: 1.) Should governments have penalties for those who live unhealthy lifestyles? A list of unhealthy lifestyles would include things like smoking, drinking, illegal drugs, prostitution, and other “vice” type activities. I guess the “government penalties” would be referring to monetary punishments, withholding medical treatments (insurance companies would love that), possibly imposing/regulating very high (exorbitant) prices on things considered unhealthy in order to cut down on their use, and other possibilities. 2.) Or, would you say that living an unhealthy lifestyle, likely resulting in a LOT of eventual personal pain and suffering, should be punishment enough for unhealthy lifestyles? When people make bad choices in life, often in their youth where ignorance and immediate gratification takes them over,  3.) Should a society be obligated to help "fix" them, by way of tax money?   Is that part of
