Ordered a single #Britta filter from Amazon. It showed up like this but in a big brown paper bag. Don't these usually come in boxes? Venders're getting desperate (understandably).

This is a reminder for who ever needs it right now. Got it from the meditation app I use every day, Insight Timer. Self care is so important in our world right now.

Potential snow squalls today in my city. Been so long since we’ve had significant snow here in NYC, I had forgotten what a snow squall was! THANKS GLOBAL WARMING! Making me have to look stuff up!! (Definition screenshot from Merriam-Webster.)

And this is how my hand lotion arrived—it came in a brown paper envelope with just a bit of padding. #AmazonQuality!

The really “fun” thing about Prime Day(s) is that so many orders are placed, the workers in the Amazon warehouses stop caring about putting breakable items in boxes and just shoved my wife’s 2 *hard drives* in a big plastic bag. And I already thought their packing skills could not get any worse!

FacingLife gets topical in this week’s comic. I had the next couple months written! Now this happens. Woe is me. Worse woe is Israel & the Palestinian peoples right now. At least it’s a fair (pointless) fight, rite? OH WAIT. More @ FacingLife.page more comics @ Pete.ink/art or everything @ Pete.ink

Thought I’d share this morning’s quote from the Insight Timer mobile app just in case it could help you as much as it helped me. “You are allowed to be both a masterpiece and a work in progress simultaneously.” -Sophia Bush

Woohoo! Tonight’s Entertainment is an Early Access screening of The Creator, from the director of Rogue One! Seeing it @ the Lincoln Square AMC IMAX. This is the best IMAX in NYC, FYI. I’ve heard this movie described as “high science fiction.” 20m to showtime & the crowd is small but free poster!

Oof—thought I’d watch 2017’s “The Circle” just b/c I was curious but 40m in, it is both heavy handed and mundane and I’m just dreading the last hour of movie. No wonder it has 16/21 on RT! I’m a bit surprised when movies score that low actually earn it. Anyone else see this? What did you think?

Finally seeing Oppenheimer on 70mm *film*, in IMAX, with plush rockers, with the time-space option enabled, the Heisenberg Compensator compensating, and the anti-Borg feature engaged.*
Points if you get the irony of my shirt!
*only the first 3 options are actually real things

Anybody ever get a notification like this? I have full notifications turned on in my iPhone’s Settings app so I’m a little puzzled as to why it’s so vague. Ahhh, sweet sweet technology!
