I have been reading the year end lists come in and my reactions are mostly 1) I'm old, I don't know who these people are, also I'm fine with that, and 2) Wow that's fucking boring

The DP surveyed sites located between 32nd and 47th streets and from Woodland to Lancaster avenues, selecting 24 cafes on Penn’s campus and within the surrounding area.

In Baltimore at Metro Gallery supporting Steve Gunn tonight
What did I say, only a matter of time: www.inquirer.com/entertainmen...
Penn wants to evict World Cafe Live, but the venue remains open. But for how long?
The labor unrest keeps growing in addition to the venue's liquor license expiring. "If you do the right thing, people will come back and support," said the new CEO.

I keep seeing frustration (this is just the latest) over media only covering the horrors, not what to do about them—but they seem to miss stories about what people *are* doing.
I report on that expressly because I want people to know there are people fighting back, and learn how they could, too.

Apparently there's a video of former French pairs skater Yannick Bonheur going viral performing a headbanger with his adagio partner and you know I'm a figure skater bc my response was "That rink is cool, where is it, I have to add it to my list"
