Yet another insane example of outrageous government overreach. www.latimes.com/californi…
For what it’s worth, readers of Rob Kroese’s Codex Babylon, Wytch Hazel’s album III: Pentecost is some excellent music to have on while reading, with its heraldic imagery of knights, and the Spirit’s fight against the forces of darkness. Both are highly recommended: Book: www.amazon.com/dp/B0BXFP… 📚 Music: wytchhazel.bandcamp.com/album/iii… 🎸
Sweet! New music coming from Wytch Hazel! wytchhazel.bandcamp.com/album/iv-…
I noticed both Knocked Up and Juno are making the rounds on the HBOs this month, and wow, it’s been 16 years since Hollywood gave us arguably the most pro-life mainstream movies this century.
With his goal tonight, Joe Pavelski is 8 points away from being the 10th U.S.-born #NHL player with 1,000 career points. And still the 3rd period to play. #LetsGoJoe #LetsGoStars

I instantly thought of The Screwtape Letters.
Just as with the signature credits of the Avengers in Endgame, so too do I get a little verklempt with the signatures at the end of Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country, aka, the last Star Trek movie made.

Having listened to the latest Wildman & Steve podcast with guest Bryan Duncan, I’ve decided the name of my next Christian punk band is going to be “Antagonistic Devotions.” overcast.fm/+WwMEPXGC…
Seventh read of the year is Traitor, the latest Victor thriller from Tom Wood. I like that we got another peek into Victor’s past, and the next chapter of the assassin’s story is set up nicely. Can’t wait! www.amazon.com/dp/075158… 📚
Good #LSU sports day: Lady Tigers win their first game of the NCAA Tournament, and the baseball squad wins the weekend opener against The Cult in College Station. #GeauxTigers
First non-ARC read of the year goes to Mark Greaney’s latest Gray Man novel, Burner, which I finished on my weekend trip to Pennsylvania to see my oldest’s team play in the national club hockey tournament. Mark just keeps getting better at his craft, this one is superb! 📚
“Staying true to the game” is (a) a cop-out to cover for lazy writing, and (b) a lie when so much of the season contained content not true to the game.
I’m out on The Last of Us going forward. That was an awful season finale.
“Oh, but it was quite true to the game.” Fantastic. Then that is a suck-ass game.
The second half/third of the episode may have been the worst acting performance for Pascal yet, and he’s behind a mask 99% of the time on The Mandalorian.
I very much approve of the programming of The Empire Strikes Back content into a homicidal weather AI like Carrot.

In youth lacrosse officiating, the equivalent of the NFL’s “what is a catch?” has to be what is a pick?"
Inconsistently frustrating. 😡
Movies: don’t build the AI, it’ll destroy the world.
People in reality: Let’s not only build the AI, but tell it all of our secrets! 🤦🏻♂️

This year’s king cake rankings:
- Nonna Randazzo’s
- Rouses Market
- Caluda’s Bakery
Manny has the Randazzo name recognition, but Nonna’s king cake is our favorite far and away this year. We’ll have to give them a head to head in 2024.
