ya know a pretty unimportant gov't entity

oh wait: CISA, or the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, is a component of the United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) responsible for cybersecurity and infrastructure protection across all levels of government


Go take a look at their homepage today

Brian Krebs did a good summary

Dear CISA employees we illegally fired, whoever you are: Please respond so we can rehire you and then immediately place you on leave. Oh, and make sure to send a password-protected attachment with all your personal information.

Sure, just go ahead and ZIP up that attachment and password protect it so that it can't be properly scanned by anti-malware scanners.

Playing this weekend at Comet.  Plus one or two final DC shows still to be announced, and Ottobar mid-July.

Platinum pricing at Neil Young shows…

He said he is inspired by Robert Smith

This applies to shows announced moving forward I believe

1. an unfortunate misunderstanding
2. a legit a screw-up
3. a clown show
4. a shit-show
5. a trump administration

dept of education

this is just a throwback to 'states rights', which ultimately was a racist dog whistle (not a bad band name?)

Yes, they are all for states rights unless a state wants to recount its votes.

BGR Burgers is fading away. There's less than 10 locations left; I figure that the others will close as their leases expire.

It was the switch to Pepsi products. Always a bad decision.

I'll be damned: Fuddruckers makes its Chinatown return thanks to a local entrepreneur

Fuddruckers was definitely ahead of the curve, but damn if the market isn't flooded with burger restaurants
Their burgers if I remember correctly, were OK, but not great

we have definitely hit peak burger, if not way past it

Ahead of the game in premium burger and fast casual. They were my favorite because they would cook to order and let you put on your own toppings. They didn't rely upon the toppings to cover up for flavorless well-done patties. But I hope that they don't try to resurrect everything. Most locations were gigantic, over 8K sq ft. And today, most burgers are bought to-go. Cut square footage in half, have to-go options with toppings put on by staff, and they might survive the current climate.
