In Django, my data isn't rendering

I can access the admin and view and create objects there without problem. What I am having trouble with is understanding why the data isn't coming up in the template.
My code is below.
models.py
admin.py
urls.py
view.py
pin_list.html
When I runserver and look at the "view source" of the resulting html I get this
Why isn't my data coming up? What am I missing?
