Watched: The King’s Man 🍿
I really enjoy all the Kingsmen movies. The King’s Man is probably a bit too long and drawn out, but I give it grace for being a prequel and telling the story of how The Kingsmen came to be. Also, more Ralph Fiennes is fine by me.

I truly hope that history looks back at this period in time with the biggest ”What the actual fuck?” It’s clear none of these bastards are going to face any accountability while they’re alive.
It’s 100+ degrees outside so officially cold brew season. Decided to see what the King of Coffee, James Hoffmann, had to say about it. Of course his recipe turns what I’ve been doing upside down. Ratios are about the same, but his recipe uses a finer grind, steeping in the fridge, shorter steep time, and a fining agent—never heard of that until now. I’ll stick with what I’ve been doing for now since it’s built into the daily routine, but might be worth a try sometime. ☕️
Just saw a bumper sticker. “If you can’t stand behind our troops, feel free to stand in front of them”. Including an imagine of a soldier aiming down sights. Wild. Whatever happened to “My ferret is smarter than your honor student”?
I’m no meteorologist, but it looks like it’s going to rain.
It’s only June 11th. Kill me now.
Billionaires' Billions Are Increasing Faster Than Ever.
Their rising wealth, a 40 percent increase in just two years, has coincided with significant changes to U.S. tax laws over the last decade that largely benefited the country’s richest families and stockholders and led to an increase in their political influence.
We’re a country of pyschopaths helping pyschopaths become more pyschopathic and there’s no political will to stop it. Happy 250th birthday America.
Watched: Margo’s Got Money Troubles 📺
Finished this up over the weekend. It was very entertaining. Elle Fanning, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Nick Offerman were all fantastic. Highly recommended.
Watched: Cape Fear S1E1, Fingers & Toes 📺
Started this officially last night but it was after I got home from the O’s game and I passed out halfway through. Had to do a rewatch. Very intense so far.
Unsurprising open corruption from FIFA & the Trump…. From Kottke.org:
Unsurprising open corruption from FIFA & the Trump regime: FIFA rents an office in Trump Tower. “The rent goes to President Trump’s family business, but soccer officials say the space sits largely idle.” That’s called a bribe.
