so i just saw the NYT include the name of Mike Daisey's new monologue "What the Fuck Just Happened" in the internet edition which made me wonder how many times they've printed the word "Fuck" in the paper where it's not an excerpt and it's more often than you might think:https://www.nytimes.com/search?dropmab=true&query=fuck&sort=newestincluding this humdinger of a typohttp://i.imgur.com/CHRq26k.png

That looks like a OCR error, not a typo. It was correct in the original paper.

There must be something in the Times style guide that says "write each article as though everyone reading it either (1) makes at least $200,000 a year or (2) has parents who make at least $400,000 a year."

On the one hand, yes, this is a very first world thing to complain about and not at all worth a NYTimes profile interviewing disappointed customers, but at the same time (unpopular opinion ahead), I don't feel coming out of a global pandemic is the time to shit on people for missing their small comforts.

Starbucks is basically just an upscaled Dunkin Donuts now. It's also an interesting lens through which to view larger global supply chain issues occurring right now.

Maybe more like frivolities and agonies of American consumerism, but not ruling class. Starbucks are in highway rest stops now - you see truckers getting coffee there.

I assume someone has written about how bad all the second-wave/Friends-era coffee places were, old charcoal beans and sugar - like if Blue Moon was at the head of the craft beer revolution.
