I'm not the biggest sports fan at all, but I have to say I got excited watching Puerto Rico beat Lithuania tonight to qualify for the Olympics. Props to Lithuania for a great game. Proud of my boys!

My wife had never seen "Romancing the Stone". I remedied that tonight and she loved it. I haven't seen it in ages, but it still holds up for me. Me and my sis had it on vhs when we were kids and watched the absolute hell out of it. I still remember the musical beats & the best one liners, of course.

Rereading Gavriel Quiroga's Hell Night, and I'm getting that urge to run some Hell Night at Gencon for my friends, but we already have a list of games on the table, no more space! Maybe someday!

I've been about to write a long ass thread regarding my thoughts & feelings about 4th of July. Deleted it each time. So, I'll just keep it very brief. We don't celebrate 4th of July in my household.

Playing the Night Springs episodes of Alan Wake 2 in an effort to insulate my mental health from the madness going on. Episode 1, Number 1 Fan, made me laugh out loud multiple times. Brilliant fun. Funny I'm using an episode dripping with delusion to guard my own mental health haha

In less depressing news, finally finished Alan Wake 2. What a brilliant, metamindfuck masterpiece in storytelling. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Now to play the newly released Night Springs side chapters. Maybe eventually I'll work to get that second ending.

Nothing has made me feel more like my law degree is worthless than these last two weeks of SCOTUS rulings. At this point, I feel like all I got from law school was loan debt and existential dread. Understanding the minutiae and the repercussions through a JD lens just makes it worse.

Hurricane Beryl took at least 6 lives in its passing through the Lesser Antilles, including some in the north Venezuelan coast. The number is low, but being from PR, I expect that number to be sadly underreported. It's heading towards Jamaica as a cat 4. Stay safe, my Jamaican friends!

We got lucky and just got the edges of the beast.

Rain, wind & large waves on the east & south coasts, some on the west. Sometimes rain & wind in other areas, including the north of the island. Right now in Cupey it's gray skies but no rain, did get some earlier. Dodged a bullet, for now. Potential damage to coastal areas so far but not horrible.

And now it's a cat 5. Scary shit.
Hurricane Beryl is now a “potentially catastrophic” Category 5 hurricane, the earliest ever to reach that strength in the Atlantic. Grenada and the nation of St. Vincent and the Grenadines were reeling from a storm that probably will be the region’s most intense hurricane on record.

Hurricane Beryl is passing right below Puerto Rico right now. I feel like in a horror film when someone hides and the monster passes by really close and doesn't find them.

Hurricane Beryl is a scary sight. To all my friends in the Lesser Antilles, Virgin Islands, and other islands in the path of this beast, stay safe.

We live in a very special sort of hell where we are deeply powerless to do much. I have little hope for a good outcome. I hope only for a kinder death knell. Rome has been burning for years. May as well try to enjoy Nero's music as the flesh sloughs off in the fire and the patricians wail also.

Lou from Sick of it All needs our help! As Brian so eloquently stated, SoiA is one of the most influential, and profoundly kickass hardcore bands of all time, and they are all around great dudes. He was just diagnosed with cancer and any dollar we can gather would be a great help to him.
Sick Of It All are not only one of the greatest hardcore bands of all time — they’ve also always been very supportive of my stuff. Lou’s been diagnosed with cancer. Like writers, musicians often have to fund their own healthcare. If you can help, please do. www.gofundme.com/f/help-lou-k...

From tropical storm to categore 3 in a day. Probably by tomorrow it will be a category 4. Starting historically early this year due to warmer waters. Only the first of probably many that happen this year.
Hurricane Beryl is now a 115-mph Category 3 monster, just a day after it was a tropical storm with 60-mph winds. The storm rapidly intensified at a rate unprecedented for June, and is en route to the Lesser Antilles. The National Hurricane Center is warning of “life-threatening” impact.
Hurricane Beryl is intensifying at an unprecedented rate. What to know.www.washingtonpost.com Hurricane Beryl, a Category 3 monster that could intensify to Category 4, is expected to slam the Lesser Antilles islands with potential “life-threatening” impact.

The first hurricane of the season, Beryl, went from cat 1 to cat 3 in a flash. It's expected to hit cat 4 soon while crossing into hotter waters. It'll pass south of PR but Lesser Antilles will get hit.

Most of the people around me are freaking out about the debate. And here I am freaking out so much more over the abhorrent SCOTUS decisions. There is so much more fuckeduppittude than what I can express. Grants Pass, fucking Chevron of all things. I should get a refund for my law degree.

Give Richard your support to get this novel out!
The project to being my lost novel, KAMIKAZE L’AMOUR, back into print is doing well, but with 2 weeks to go, it could use some help to push it over the top. Please take a look at the project and consider backing it. Thanks! kck.st/4bRv91i
