Do I know anyone going to New Haven next weekend?

It’s so exceedingly rare that anyone gets why the dog is named Trout Fishing In America but we just met a couple on our walk whose eyes lit up and said “Brautigan?!” when I told them. Hell yeah, long live Brautigan

I have to imagine this would make Connecticut the only state with a human being as a state bird, but I can’t say that with certainty and I don’t feel like looking it up! ctmirror.org/2026/05/06/c...

The new Italian sandwich shop in town I vowed to never patronize because their website was full of AI slop got rid of the AI slop so I gave ‘em a shot and the sandwiches are phenomenal but what’s more the tiramisu is maybe the best I’ve ever had

Just saw an Instagram post excoriating a coffee shop because they asked the author, who was camped out on her computer, to buy something or leave. Her stance is that cafes are obligated to let people work in them without buying anything. The comments are all like “you’re so right!” Losing my mind

HAPPY INTERNATIONAL WORKERS DAY! In anticipation of returning to San Fran for three nights this July, to play each of the three Berkeley-based Lookout!
