So if you need one, a reminder: These are terrible, out-of-the-ordinary times. What you are going through right now is so hard. I'm sorry you have to endure it. You are doing the best you can under incredibly exceptional circumstances. I'm pulling for you.

This deeply odd video tribute to Philly Christmas kitsch may move you to tears

Dec 2, 2022

To that end the exterminator said setting traps would be folly, due to *handwave* all the nature. But he said if I moved my bird feeder (food) and shallow planters (water) away from the deck (shelter) I would not cultivate such a cozy relationship with rodents. He was right!

In fairness the rats in my yard are kind of cute and woodland-y? Not out of place with all the squirrels and gophers and chipmunks.

Cut to me in the co-working space, telling Jake about the time a rat chewed its way through the walls and into my Mount Airy home.

I’ve always been very impressed by how few rats Philly seems to have. No idea why, its shockingly filthy and between two rivers. But i can count on one hand the rats ive seen here in the last decade+ living here. When I go to DC, NYC, Baltimore tho, they’re everywhere twitter.com/sommermathis/s…

That story about how 2 Philly restaurants refused to feed the

@NBCSPhilly

on it and they walked it back. I explain here.

These Philly restaurants say they didn’t refuse to serve the Astros

Danny DiGiampietro of Angelo’s Pizzeria and Mike Strauss of Mike’s BBQ say they had good reasons not to deal with the Astros. But they had nothing to do with ill will, they point out.

Yes to this, but also: you know where I do see black conductors? Choral music. Along with women. Still too few, but a lot more than in orchestral. The choral world isn't perfect, but in my experience they're far more welcoming and game. medium.com/@maestrobkb/4d

“He said, ‘We just didn’t know how to market you. You don’t look like what our audience expects a maestro to look like.’” @InquirerPeter 's very important piece on Black conductors hits very very different after watching Tár

Black conductors, long excluded, are now on the podium. But will it last?

Only 2.4% of U.S. orchestras reported having a Black music director.

I've long been skeptical of restaurant ratings. Though we've relied on these systems, I don't believe a dining experience can be captured fully in a handful of stars, bells or forks. It's time to move forward. We'll give perspective instead of ratings.

A ratings system rooted in the pre-pandemic era no longer applies to today’s restaurant world.
