Artistic storytelling websites are alive and well on the internet. I’m late to the party, but this is incredible. The less said the better. Takes about an hour to read.

There’s a billboard on the NJ Turnpike reading, “Reasons to take the train? There’s a lot” Strange for a PR campaign ad to leave their message as an exorcise for the reader.

I beat the Mario RPG remake while cat sitting this past week. Lots of nostalgia for this one, and the updated graphics and sound were a fun way to reexperience it. 🕹️

I’ve been cat sitting Rocco this week. Here’s how it’s going. 🐈‍⬛

Got some doodling in today.

Two doodles on small pieces of paper. One is a skeleton prancing with some flowers around. The other is a whimsical bearded crazy hair face who’s smiling.

TIL background-blend-mode and a background-image is the only way to do a mix blend mode on an image. You can’t do that with an absolutely-positioned <img> tag.

Tipping Point is a great limited run podcast exploring the global sustainability society plan from the 1970s that was ignored.

Immature reminder of the day: not only was Dick Butkus a famous person, his last name was pronounced “butt kiss”. 🫡

Another old gold hour shot. I don’t remember where this was taken.

I just saw a man on the subway with a hand gun keychain ornament right next to a pikachu ornament. What a ven diagram.

Follow up food shots from Sunday’s supper club.

We started with some fish in a really nice sauce. Don’t you wish I remembered anything more specific? Me too.

Then we had slice duck with grilled eggplant with a walnut and pecan sauce. That yellow Swiss cheese cracker looking dude is fried flower oil. Bonkers.

After that, we lightened it up with tamale, cheese, and pickled tomatillo with a unique salsa verde. Almost all the ingredients here are from pre-colonial Mexico.

Finally, we finished with a moist polenta cake with some sort of sweet, tangy jam and this light, sugary cracker cookie that I forget the name of.

Close up of a thick, brown cake, almost zuccini bread looking, with a dark red jam with a fruit that looks like strawberries but isn't. There's a half eaten cookie with some of the jam on it and sugar coating. All on a white plate.

The chefs gave wonderful explanation on each dish, and I can’t remember it. Thankfully, the pictures speak for themselves. All these shots were taken by my friend Jenny.
