Was enjoying myself in bed watching compilations of cats being dramatic on YouTube when the narrator of one of them makes a racist as fuck comment. Why can't I watch cute cats in peace? 😭

I think the main reason I still have more fun playing Civ VI instead of VII isn't due to any of the new mechanics (ages, decoupling of leaders and civs, etc). It's the dearth of fun subsystems that add depth. Governors, eurekas/inspirations, canals, unique suzerain bonuses.

At the #LouisvilleOrchestra tonight for their wonderful performance of Hungarian music with Yuja Wang.
Intermission right now so I'm putting down some of my thoughts so far.

Really proud of #RacingLouisville today. Really great game, and I will always contend that PKs is the worst way to end a game in any sport.

The cat redistribution service does not seem to be active in my area.

BTW, I asked for the list of 100 books, but they are working on it, so please don't flood their email address with requests. However, they seem to be happy to recommend books if you give them a topic. Their site is full of cool stuff, including signed copies by Joan Didion.

Habitat for Humanity's Love Our Community Day here in the Parkland neighborhood went fantastically. Amazing organization and amazing turnout by the community to come help each other.
Often things look bleak but days like today, when people don't just give money but the sweat of their brows? ♥️♥️♥️

Learned how to prune trees properly today at a @TreesLouisville workshop. Loved helping take care of some gorgeous redbuds, lilacs, paperbark maples, and others.

I wish there were more wildflower patterned shirts in stores. All I can find are tropical plant or similar patterns.

Between her roles as Vanessa in The Goes Wrong Show and Nine-Fingers in Baldur's Gate 3, Bryony Corrigan's portrayal of someone desperately trying to maintain their composure amidst utter nonsense surrounding her is masterful. It's really tough to play the straight person and she's nailed it.

I bought my house two years ago and since then have had an electrician, a plumber, two HVAC people, and a gutter company come out to do work on my house. Every single time, something is left either undone or done wrong. Is this a Louisville thing? Are local companies just trash at doing a good job?

Was lying awake in bed thinking about a work problem that's been bugging me since last week. Finally figured it out and of course had to get out of bed and write it down before I forgot. Freaking engineering brain costing me beauty sleep.

In this year's April from Hell, not only was my workplace wiped out by a tornado last week and I was given less than 24 hours notice for a long convoluted work trip, but the wheels were stolen off my rental car while it was parked in the hotel parking lot.
It's only the 11th.....

Tornado wiped out my workplace yesterday morning. Guess I'm working from home for the forseeable future. Thankfully the tornado missed my desk so my oxalis, alocasia, and philodendrons were all okay.

One thing I love about my redbud tree I planted a couple years ago is that in April when I walk out my front door the first thing I see is the beautiful flowers on it.

I missed the season opener but watching Racing Louisville now. Their unis are straight fire. Hyped to watch DeMelo and Flint anchor this midfield.

At this point I think the only things enjoying this weather are the seeds I sowed in milk jugs and left outside. They love the cold wet weather.

I love how of the three exclusive interviews Wemby did in France this past week, one was with a children's magazine he used to read when he was young.
