Watched: Widow’s Bay S1E5, What to Expect on Your Trip 📺

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

Watched: The Boys S5E8, Blood and Bone 📺

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.

I like this quote from him in the article:

“You should not take the most unpopular parts of your agenda and make them litmus tests,”…

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. 🎮

The ten levels of smartphone de-addiction. (via Akash Bhat)

Funny but also some real advice. Level 4 is hard, but why? I’ve made the decision to watch what is on the TV. I put actual thought into wanting to be invested in a story. Why should I miss that because I need that quick hit of dopamine? Addiction is real.

What a headline. What a story. Vulture vomit is the leading theory for Kentucky’s 1876 meat shower.

After getting caught up on Shrinking and The Boys, diving back into some Jon Hamm.

📚 Dune. Finished the first book in the Dune series this week and already downloaded Dune Messiah. Goal is to read (listen) through all the main story line this summer.

📺 Shrinking. We finished season 3 of Shrinking. What a great feel good show. A range of emotions in every episode and the finale was no different. Loved it.

🍿_Anaconda_. A silly and fun watch. It knew what it was and that’s perfect.

🎮 The Messenger. Finished the main story and just have to dlc to do. I’ll come back to this. It was a great game and even more so for picking it up on sale for $4.

❤️ Mother’s Day lunch was a hit. My sister brought shrimp to steam up and I made crab cakes. Found some really good strawberries at the farmers market so had strawberry shortcakes for desert.

Watched: Zombieland: Double Tap🍿

Finished reading: Dune by Frank Herbert 📚

It’s going to be a Dune summer and I’m here for it. Next up: Dune Messiah.
