No doubt you are already piping-hotly debating the report that coffee shops discriminate against women (as reported at Slate). The very limited study (of eight Boston-area shops) that prompts this "finding" seems questionable. Maybe it’s not that coffee shops discriminate against women; maybe it’s that Boston coffee shops discriminate against women.
This is old news now, but, for the sake of completeness after my last Mystery Science Theater 3000 post: the remaining MST alums who weren’t already involved in MSTish projects, including creator Joel Hodgson, are now. An apparently riffing-oriented effort called Cinematic Titantic will debut with a live show in San Francisco. But, in a move that costs it some of my goodwill, the show’s open only to George Lucas employees. No fair! They give us Episodes I-III, and are rewarded? (Unless that’s what they’ll be riffing…)
Older still: a cool list of "100 or so of the Most Underrated/Never Seen TV Shows" (via TV Barn) I second the recommendation of Mojo’s Three Sheets, which captures the joy of alcohol better than any other show has even attempted. But don’t go near Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives on Food TV, unless you want to see a host trying way, way, way too hard to be "cool."
