Happy Monday! First time testing out an espresso & tonic at home. Fresh orange peel really does add a lot. Have a good day, friends!

Couldn’t stop taking photos of my cat, Gemma-Jyn this morning. She was just being too cute.
👇 "The vast majority of people who work in film and television are not studio executives, nor are they famous actors. They are, overwhelmingly, blue-collar workers, freelancers, and small businesses. And they are in free fall." Yes.
Alvaro M. Bedoya@bedoyausa.bsky.social · last wk.People think "Hollywood" is rich and famous. The reality? Film and TV is a national industry. It's a blue collar industry. And it is an industry free fall. My latest for @newrepublic.com on how the Paramount merger would crush blue collar workers who can not afford it newrepublic.com/article/2136...

Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn't Nirvana, Pearl Jam or Alice in Chains.

Surprise sighting: Jabba the Hutt (aka Ezra Bridger). Story of the Year + Eman Esfandi
Mosh Eisley was a good time (as always). Took almost zero pictures, so looking forward to what surfaces.
So cool to hear Bear McCreary talk world-building through music with God of War Laufey director Ariel Lawrence.
8 oz of water vs 19.2 oz of 8.8% beer. The Force is all about balance
The Surfliner down to SDCC done right. With a fantasy novel and a tall boy.
Last minute prep for Mosh Eisley before hopping on a plane to SoCal. Ready for SDCC!
Fair warning: This will be my “Kingdom of Heaven: Director’s Cut”.
Nerdist@nerdist.bsky.social · 2w agoThe upcoming X-Files: I Want to Believe director's cut will be rated R.
And now, it’s time to complete the trilogy. What a fun ride this has been!
I know this screams of fan service… but I am that target market and I will absolutely be seeing this on opening night.

My dad moved to Spain just three months ago. He’s definitely having fun right now.

It’s been fun trying all new beers since the move to the PNW. Attempting yo try one new local beer a week and they’ve been mighty tasty. Any recommendations??

My SDCC cosplay plans for Thursday through Saturday next week…
Caught Gail Daughtry in the theater last night. Totally worth it! If you’re a fan of David Wain, Wet Hot American Summer, The State, or They Came Together… this will be right up your alley. And if you’ve never seen any of those, go see this anyway, then do yourself a favor and watch them all after.
Bonkers week to be a Ducks fan. My thoughts: - Glad we didn’t lose Leo, a generational talent - Price tag is insane. Upsetting that they could have pro-actively locked him down for far less - I have ongoing concerns about Verbeek’s methods - We got some gaps to fill - Regardless… let’s go Ducks!
Zach Cavanagh@zachcavsports.bsky.social · 4w agoIt wasn’t on their own terms, but Anaheim Ducks finally locked up their franchise center on Thursday. Ducks owners called it "an easy decision" to match Leo Carlsson's NHL-high $18 million per season offer sheet from Flyers. @SportingTrib | #FlyTogether www.thesportingtribune.com/2026/07/09/a...
Alrighty, San Diego Comic Con is right around the corner. ✅ badge has arrived ✅ hotel has been secured ✅ Mosh Eisley ticket purchased ✅ flight is booked Now I just gotta figure out the cosplay plan. This is where the fun begins.
