One of the most salient divisions in American urban politics is between people who choose to live in cities because they actually like urban life and temporarily embarrassed suburbanites.

Whew, louder for those in the back. Cities are refugia for those persecuted elsewhere. Cities represent the best of America, not the worst.

I can easily see how that would happen. You have my support, and I hope the anxiety and overstimulation passes soon.

I kinda like pot lucks, but not church basements so much (other than one Unitarian Church). Guess it would be a wash for me.

There are a lot of things that I love about living in a city. One thing I don't is that one morning I came into the office to find a huge piece of human shit on our doorstep. Sadly, that day was today.

I never go, but I used to get notifications when I was on Facebook. I've never been clear on what you're supposed to do at a high school reunion, so I've never gone.

So, just to get it out of my system, for anyone who cares at all, but may be unaware: There are REASONS the Castlevania discourse bothers me so much. I literally grew up with the series as a core part of my childhood. I beat the first game on the NES when I was 3 years old -- with help. (cont.)

Soundiiz works just fine as long as you don't have playlists you want to keep synced between the two services (that costs money).

They could also be the bartenders, in fact, who now aren't required to maintain a car in order to have a job.

Yeah, no, I also have heard the word "privileged" and heard it ends arguments. The same buses that carry drunk bargoers (so they don't drive) also can take the proverbial "people who work late" who are always trotted out every time someone wants to privilege driving (many of whom are low-income).

My wife's car stereo once played a Charlie Parker record with a picture of Charlie Puth, and Brittany Spencer with a pic of Brittany Spears. This stuff is maddening.

A staggering number of cities (Boston and much of Philadelphia spring to mind) have their public transit shut down *earlier* than their bars. Just moronic policy.

One of my great failings as a 40-something music listener is that I never got over my teenage disappointment with Heaven Beside You as the big single from the AIC self-titled and I've never listened to it. I even like HBY now, and I still haven't put on the record.

Could it be because you recently changed your name to contain the word "boobies"?

Mostly. The big sin from the filmmakers, I think, was failing to recognize that their ideas are always good, but never quite as good as they think they are. The movie drags on both within a scene and definitely from scene to scene. The good stuff certainly hits, though.

Sort of insane fact about how broken US urban planning is—America now spends more building *just the lights for roads and highways* than on all subways & ground mass transit combined Spending on roadway *pavement* is 18x transit spending

I just started it, too. I'm loving the no-nonsense, possibly autistic tech guy at the agency. His directness amuses me and is very recognizable to me.

Parents complained about the violence and the PSA's were a way to try and take off that for sure and position the shows as positive influences.

I turned on this Otis record right after he showed up in a soul playlist and hearing Otis after literally any other soul singer is like an icepick to the brain: he was just on a whole different level than anyone else.
