I've never trusted this app and nothing I've seen has led me to believe it won't eventually be enshittified like the rest of them, which is why I'm still doing business at the same stand, www.jaythurbershow.com

Stupid facts I know: Eight O'Clock Coffee, once A&P's house brand, is now part of the same company that also makes Land Rovers and owns Air India.

Join me from 9 p.m. to midnight tonight at Lawrenceville's Arsenal Bowl. They'll have the Steelers game on the screens and I'll have indie rock on the speakers. $13 All You Can Bowl, 21-older
