    The power situation in Aleppo is better than in Puerto Rico. Goddamn.

    I just heard my aunts in Aleppo are finally putting up Christmas trees for the first time in years. That made me very happy because it means some sense of normalcy is returning to their lives. They have electricity most of the time, it seems, only 3–4 hours with none.

    The (last?) print edition came out this AM. The site wasn't updated at all today. No one is on socials. These buyers obviously have no interest even in turning it into a shell of itself. This is a plot to kill the 2nd biggest publication in America's 2nd biggest city.

    Someday we're going to talk about victims of harassment & the contributions that they never got to make instead of what it means that a "genius" harasser has been fired. How much further would industries have gotten with more people working in them?

    Says his beginnings in all-male, bawdy kitchens created his bad behavior. When will these guys think past their dicks, regardless of external forces, and learn to think for themselves what’s right and wrong??? It’s just stupidity and selfishness.

    Before this report, Iuzzini’s behavior was widely known among women, but infrequently mentioned. I’m one of many who have experienced this with him.

    Many of my male restaurant managers were also complicit in how they let male customers treat and talk to female servers. We were never protected from unwanted predatory come ons and “flirtatious” touching.

    You know, likely every woman in food service has experienced this type of crap. For me a daily kiss for the disgusting chef was mandatory if I wanted my orders up before they were cold.

    This is important. Cities may not listen to scientists, but they'll listen to the banks. Bond markets are quite possibly the most important climate change adaptation tool.

    Moody’s warns coastal cities from Maine to California to confront climate risks or face downgrades.

    A new fast food kiosk opened up at our local mall advertising 100% authentic food from the Balkans. I was there at lunchtime, & I asked the nice Bosnian cashier what the most popular sandwich was. She told me "I recommend the chicken fajita". This is a true story. The end.

    The pure joy of typing faster than an IBM Selectric ii could print and listening to it catch up.

    Without revealing your actual age, what's something you remember that if you told a younger person they wouldn't understand?

    As Virginia Woolf reminded us, "Art is not a copy of the real world; one of the damn things is enough." So let's hear it for the great Arnie Charnick, who popped over 35 year later to touch up Veselka's sidewalk mural and remind us what the real world ought to be.

    Gordo doubles down, says European beer drinkers “too delicate” to appreciate Korea’s least-acclaimed beer.
