I’m told there was a slight shift in the Times’ plans. While killing soccer beat coverage was supposed to be the first of a gradual change, Times leadership is instead pulling the band-aid off and killing hockey, Storm and UW basketball beat coverage too. No layoffs, at least not yet, just this.

An 87-year-old woman lived in the same apartment for 71 years. A real estate firm bought it. Her rent jumped from about €500 to €2,650. She was evicted and carried out on a stretcher. Thousands marched in Madrid. 71 years in one home. Gone after that rent hike.

Possible dumb thought: Why couldn't we convert dead retail space into explicitly "shit tier" performance space? Imagine hearing the local punk band playing a shot out of the old Walden Books at the mall.
