I don’t know how or why but Macy Gray - I Try has been stuck in my head for the last 48 hours. Enjoy.

Meh. Just meh.
Chef John’s bread and butter pickles. I’ve made these a few times and they are always a hit. Just made a batch for a Memorial Day cookout. It amazes me the resourcefulness that created these delicious morsels.

Take out Chinese and rich people drama. What’s not to love.
5 days away from IATC and I feel the least prepared I’ve ever been going into a tournament. No plan. Haven’t practiced outside of league nights in a year. Hell it doesn’t even feel like the biggest event of the year. The excitement just isn’t there.

Big fan of the “I’m doing weird shit” Daniel Radcliffe era.

Loving this show. Stephen King-esque horror comedy with some genuinely creepy moments. See

Not sure if it was the best ending given the rest of the season but it was damn satisfying.
RIP Barney Frank. It was inspiring seeing him debate and stand up for human rights and more broadly the right side of history.

Progress is frustratingly slow and while I do believe accountability needs to be immediate, government is like a giant tanker ship. A shift a couple degrees in the right direction, over time, leads to major changes.
Started playing a new metroidvania called Before I Go. Jacy played it a couple weeks ago and it looked interesting. More Metroid than -vania and like most indie games, it’s an allegory about death and acceptance. The pew-pews are very satisfying. 🎮
