Tickets for LCD Soundsystem 4 night run in mid-may went on "pre-sale" yesterday, for $75 a pop. When I went to pay for 2 tickets, got the "tickets not available" message. Today, the only tickets available, for any of the 4 nights were the "VIP Premium", for $350 each.

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.
Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

@girinathan.bsky.social I finished "Changeover" last night, and completely enjoyed it, even though I'm just a casual/majors-only tennis fan.
Congratulations on a great book...

Sending out a thanks to @drewmagary.bsky.social and @davidjroth.bsky.social for having John Vaillant on the podcast to talk about his book "Fire Weather" a few months back. I finally got around to reading it, and it was amazing, terrifying, and should be required reading for climate change deniers.
