I don’t typically watch hockey 🏒 so forgive the ignorance but when do they start fucking? 🥅

Dug out my Bach 37 Bb Trumpet, mostly untouched since high school except for a few drunk brunches in college… Yamaha Silent Brass mute arrives tomorrow, a preemptive kindness to everyone within earshot along w/ Arban’s book. Brass players, on a scale of 1-10, how humbling will 24 years of rust be?

It took so long we probably could’ve driven to the LA location and gotten back to San Diego in the time that it took for us to get our food! 😂 But the Mr.Sunday was delicious, the fries pretty good and the ice cream surprisingly a standout.

Checking out Mr.Charlie’s in Pacific Beach with @codyrodriguez.bsky.social. I feel like I’m in a bizarro blend of Demolition Man mixed and Idiocracy with a side of Fifth Element… and not just because we’ve been waiting 2 hours for our order 😂

A crowded interior view of Mr. Charlie’s restaurant in Pacific Beach, San Diego, with vibrant red walls, yellow accents, and prominent neon “Charlie’s Mc” signage hanging above the counter. Spotlights illuminate the space, digital menu boards display items on the right, and a diverse group of about 20 patrons in casual summer clothes—wearing sunglasses, hats, and masks—stand, sit on high stools at a white counter, or cluster near yellow balloons and promotional stands; the atmosphere buzzes with excitement on a sunny day.

Close-up of a counter display at Mr. Charlie’s restaurant showing stacked red meal boxes labeled “McCharlie’s” in yellow text, each featuring a frowny face (X eyes and downturned mouth) parodying Happy Meals, arranged in a pyramid beside a napkin dispenser and “Pacific Beach” sign, with a blurred red-uniformed employee and warm interior lighting in the background.

Starting book 118 of 2025. I’m hoping to complete 125 before the year is out but that’s gonna be tough! A nice IPA from Pure Project makes hitting that stretch goal easier and harder at the same time 🤪

To the right of the e-reader sits a tulip glass of golden beer—specifically "Pure Dank," a 6.3% West Coast IPA brewed with Pineapple Express terpenes—next to a pair of folded white sunglasses. The background features a blurred, sunny outdoor seating area.

I simply couldn’t get it to work on my computer. Going off memory it worked once and then never again, as a video source for the computer. Use as a stand-alone video camera was fine (if you could translate the menus haha) I just couldn’t get it to work for my use case. But that was 2 years ago…

Really needed a relaxing Saturday after this trying week. Iced coffee, a fun book and some hot tub time in the garden is the way.

It’s been a stressful year but pulling away from all the bad news has at least one upside, 67 books read so far!

A screenshot from the Fable app showing the user’s 2025 reading progress. The user has finished 67 books so far this year. The visual chart organizes books read by month from January to August. Each month is represented by a horizontal blue bar with thumbnails of book covers. January, March, and July have the highest reading activity, each with over 10 books. At the bottom, a “Reader insight” from Fable says: “Keep it going! At your current pace, you’re on track to meet your 2025 reading goal in November.” The interface has a clean design with a cream background and dark blue accents.

I’ve still got my old SF library card 😀. I think NYC has a similar open card policy for other libraries if you can’t find a book at a current library. I just wish I had more patience, I tend to go on book series reading sprees.

I had a fu time setting up our own audiobook/eBook server with @codyrodriguez.bsky.social. If you’ve got a ton of digital books and a device that supports docker containers, I highly recommend Audiobookshelf! Now I can control access to my books on my terms and use whatever devices I like.

I’m liking it. Kiem and Jainan both overthinking every interaction, I can totally relate to. I’m anxious to delve deeper into the Taam situation. It screams “conspiracy,” what with his cause of death, the quick nature of the betrothal, the malfunctioning wristband and pass-coded, undeletable files…

Perfect Sunday afternoon with @codyrodriguez.bsky.social at @betterbuzzcoffee.bsky.social diving into Winter’s Orbit with loving whatever variety this delicious “iced read tea” is.

A hand holding the book Winter’s Orbit by Everina Maxwell, featuring a colorful sci-fi cover with two silhouetted figures against a cosmic background of stars, moons, and mountains. The book rests on a round white table at Better Buzz Coffee in Hillcrest, San Diego. Beside it is a clear plastic cup filled with a vibrant red iced drink, printed with the phrase ‘Life’s Better Buzzed’ in bold white letters. The background shows a cozy, softly blurred café interior with warm lighting and a Pride flag hanging overhead.

@mystgalaxybooks.bsky.social is officially my new favorite bookstore. If the killer, highly curated, book selection doesn’t win you over, their spot-on social and political takes definitely will. Smart, progressive, and totally worth the follow. 📚

Donald Trump loves Les Mis so much (and misses the message so badly) that he made “Empty chairs at empty tables” the theme of his birthday parade. That’s why no one is there, if anyone asks.

Happy Juneteenth! Today we celebrate Black liberation and remember that words do not become reality without work as America has yet to resolve its founding contradiction: freedom and prosperity built on enslavement and impoverishment. 🧵 1/2

We planted one pineapple several years ago. It’s now 3 separate plants. Requires basically zero attention from us too. Too bad we go through about 1 pineapple a month. I don’t think we could handle raising 52 😂

And when they get studies back telling them the opposite of what they want to hear, they’ll simply ignore them. Just like Utah did when their own research showed gender-affirming care helps kids—and they buried it anyway. www.advocate.com/news/utah-go...

advocate.com

Utah Republicans ignore study supporting gender-affirming care for trans youth. It's research they demanded

In 2023, the state legislature banned care for transgender youth “pending research.” The research is in — and inconvenient for Republicans.

Well I’m now on plane number 3. We started with a fully booked flight and each retry we lost folks. Down to about half full now so at least I have more space. Though I’d much rather be home already lol

Insanity. Glad they landed safely. Fucking scary. All these stories like this lately has put me off travel entirely. Once I’m home I’m staying.

True though even better to have planes that don’t break down. This one is officially not taking off and we are returning to the gate.

I shit you not. We got onto the runway and another computer issue on the second plane. We may have to return to the gate.

Now something on the new plane needs to cool below 90 degrees before we can proceed with boarding. Can’t imagine the cabin is over 90°F. Yikes.

Justin @itsjustjustin.com · 16/05/2025

Turns out replacing the computer didn’t fix the plane’s fuel system. So now we await our new plane. Maybe invest more in maintenance @americanair.bsky.social… especially considering CEO Robert Isom's total compensation for 2023 was $31.4 million. 1,162 times higher than a new flight attendant’s!

After a week in South Carolina, I’m finally headed home to San Diego…where the beaches are stunning, the politics aren’t terrifying, and the MAGA hats are blessedly scarce. Counting down the minutes ‘til I’m back with @codyrodriguez.bsky.social and my furry dependents 🐈🐈‍⬛.

A split-view composite image shows two contrasting scenes divided by a vertical gray metal pole in the center. On the left, an aerial view of the San Diego coastline features rolling ocean waves, a sprawling neighborhood grid, and a scenic shoreline under a partly cloudy sky. On the right, a scene from Charlotte Douglas International Airport displays a jet on the tarmac being serviced by luggage carts and ground vehicles, with a cloudy sky and distant treeline in the background. The composition juxtaposes natural coastal beauty with the structured bustle of air travel.
