    Guy wants to glue himself onto the concrete? Fine. Enjoy the tournament.
    As in, let him sit there all weekend — in the dark overnight, and after the clean-up crews are done using leaf blowers to blow the trash out of his section. Ignore him. No food or water, no bathroom breaks. We can clean up the mess later. Whoever's seats he's in, find them a suite and upgrade them. Maybe even provide some entertainment in the form of randomly-timed music over the PA system. Thought you'd like that shot of Metallica at 3:22 a.m., and then again at 4:07, Mr. Climate Activist. Looked like you were getting sleepy.
    I wish they'd do that with all of these idiots who glue themselves to things. The entire concept of their protest is that the rest of us are too civilized to just go about our day and we have to pay attention to them. So let's just go about our day, whether it's at a tennis tournament or on the highway. You dare somebody to do something, you can't be shocked when they say "Hold my beer."

    A whole square foot of concrete to yourself in NYC? That’s like $500 a month even with the Queens discount.

    They should have had the Mountain come and just rip his ass off the seat. If he lost a few toes, well, them's the breaks. That would have been a fuck around and find out moment.

    To be clear, I'm sympathetic to their message, not their method.

    Kind of an important note about that headline

    Break out a cutting torch just once and they'll find a new method of protest.

    Yes… but we obliterated the “consecutive days” record earlier this summer.

    These guys have posted some eye-popping video about flooding in Shenzhen and Hong Kong.
