i just finished nk jemisin's 'the city we became,' in which new york city fights against a lovecraftian menace that attempts to take over the city's buildings and people.
thinking about that for no particular reason.

love how much that article struggles to reconcile the fact that the Aqueduct casino already exists with the Times worldview in which a location in Queens, on the A train and closer to Manhattan than JFK, is "downstate"

Oh xpost re: casinos, I think the deal with the Aquaduct casino is it's kind of not a 'real' casino? I.e. only games that can somehow be made to fit with in lottery/games of chance laws can be played there? So it sounds like part of what they were saying is that the license for Aquaduct could also potentially be upgraded to some kind of full license.

lol i know nothing about casinos or gambling, i'm just goofin! the name is from a "rehearsal" for a one-off, one-show "band" that spent more time brainstorming names than preparing music. i got into this thing of Doctor _________ names, really liked "Doctor Casino," and when when i used up all my capital keeping us from being called something else, i ended up saving it for my own stop-start musical projects etc. this was all in like 2003 or 2004... now i wish i'd used different aliases for different things but whattayagonnado.

BK venue shutdown alert:
Hey, friends.We've decided to close our doors for the time being. The outdoor vibe has been extremely nice with the fire pits, heaters and yurts, but the costs of providing these things, which increase as the temps go down, are causing us to lose money – not what we wanna do right now, obviously!We've really been enjoying connecting with you in person, but our biggest priority is fully re-opening on the other side of the pandemic. Temporarily closing until it gets a bit warmer will make it easier to survive the long road.If you have an upcoming booking this weekend or beyond, your reservation fee will be refunded in the coming days, and you'll get a separate email from us with all the details shortly. If you have any questions, just email he✧✧✧@nowad✧✧✧.n✧✧.While the long term future isn't crystal clear yet, we're confident we'll be back with you for our limited, heated outdoor operation when things warm up a bit – likely in mid- to late-March. Keep an eye on your inbox and our Instagram account for updates.For now, you can still join us for our Virtually Nowadays session on The Lot Radio from 1pm to 2pm today (Mad Mirian will be at the helm), and you can stream hours and hours of wonderful sounds and edifying talks on our Patreon. We suggest pairing your at-home audio/visual experience with a nice homemade meal. Our friends at The Mixtape Shop have a new grocery section full of specialty items to make a good dinner (not to mention their ample stock of excellent records).If you don't feel like cooking, order in from one of these Black owned businesses. Spread the coin around if you've got it.That's all from us for now. Stay warm, stay safe, and get that vaccine when it's your turn. We're looking forward to seeing you as soon as we can.Big Love,Nowadays

Honestly didn't even realize they'd stayed open though it makes sense that they did, being an outdoor, beer-garden-style establishment in the first place.
