Ominous email sent to WAMU staff this afternoon about a “new strategic framework” to be announced Friday morning. Their offices will be closed to have the "time and space" to have these convos-- WAMU won't publish anything online, and they're automating starting 8pm.

ALT This movie has the razor-sharp edge of Heathers, the satiric chops of Network, and the comic raunchiness of Superbad. To some, this may look like nothing more than a high school hi-jinx story of two unpopular lesbians who start a girls fight club to get dates. But it does what so many of the more pretentious art films fail to do: entertain. The movie is outrageous and surreal, yet it still makes you care about the emotions of the characters. Possibly the funniest movie of the year.
This story is the final push I needed to eat here.
