It really does encourage you to not believe the signs, which is obviously REALLY BAD.

Feels like the approach is “If these signs aren’t describing work that’s being done, we can just leave them wherever. People will get it.”

I don’t think the absolute pandemonium of Minnesota’s construction signs gets enough attention.

IMO, the real MVP of "Back in Black" is the rhythm guitar part behind the guitar solo. It is absolutely perfect.

SYSL struck a great balance that I feel like you don't see often. A lot of Asian food is either self-consciously fusion-y and innovative or else it's straight "pick your protein, pick your sauce" stuff. SYSL had a viewpoint and a clear approach, but wasn't precious about it.

Wife and I were just at Bar La Grassa the other night (open 19 years) and I think it nails the mix of comfort and the food being legit outstanding. Too expensive to hit it up regularly, but always enjoy it. Marty's Deli here in NE is my most favorite recent addition to the neighborhood.

Our beloved Sen Yai Sen Lek closed after 14 years and it was a major blow. There seems to be less appetite for longevity and evolution and more for innovation and reinvention.

I will say that 25 years is a REALLY long time for a restaurant to exist in this day and age. There are obviously multiple factors that have influenced this, but I feel like more and more, restaurants open, get hot, and then the owners/chefs move on.

Yeah, you should definitely watch Brick. He's very good in it and the noir vibe is terrific.

Watched some eps of Whose Line Is It Anyway and there's a REAL problem with how every shorthand for a character is EXTREMELY RACIST.

The thing that sticks with me is the brilliance of the capitalization choices. Somehow, if you changed any of it, it would be not as good.

I’m so glad my 12-y-o daughter is old enough that when she asks why the Trump supporting people in the neighborhood have an upside down American flag I can say it’s because they’re stupid shitheads.

Seeing the dumbass "Why I Don't Vote" op-ed from some fuckass anti-democratic Nazi sympathizer followed by going to my email and seeing "The Morning: Biden in crisis" was the last straw.

He lived on the same block in NYC as my girlfriend at one point, and the other guitarist in my band almost accosted him to complain about how bad he was in Virtua Tennis for the Dreamcast. It was the early 2000s.

Seems like people generally are sick of a country that mostly kinda works. On either side, they feel like there are some OBVIOUS things that could make it better but on one side it's universal income and on the other it's murdering immigrants. And so it's just going to mostly stop working at all.
