SoCal. Running, podcasting, beer, playing video games decently, and nerding-out on tech stuff. I’m one of four hosts of the Four Brewers podcast. 🍻

A photo from the movie Inglorious Basterds of Brad Pitt and Eli Roth. They’re both looking downward to someone off-camera. Brad Pitt is holding a knife. Fuck Nazis.

A text with sirens and text that reads: “BECCA GR VIDEO.”

A framed page from The Onion newspaper. It’s a parody Kohler add that features a toilet and above it, it says, “when you shit, you’re family.”
A Steam Deck with the game Ball X Pit. The game is playing itself. One of the characters in the game auto-plays the game.

An intersection at Ynez road and Rancho California in Temecula, California. There are three people holding signs on the corner. One is holding a sign related to marriage between one man and one woman. There’s another person holding a sign saying the same thing. There’s also a man holding a sign that says “so deep in the closet they’re having adventures in Narnia.” He’s holding the sign and pointing to the two holding the signs talking about marriage.

Steam Deck screen shot from of the game Ball x Pit. It’s a snowy landscape viewed top-down and there are deadly balls flying everywhere, destroying enemies.
In her concession speech last night, Kat told the crowd that the campaign “fed and clothed thousands of people across the Ninth District.” That’s not a metaphor. That’s what the campaign literally did while also, by the way, raising $3.3 million (more than any other candidate in the field), almost entirely from small-dollar donors who gave $200 or less. No corporate PAC money. No call time spent begging rich people for checks. The candidate who refused to water down her values outraised everyone. That fact alone should end a few arguments about what’s supposedly necessary to fund a competitive campaign.

A brindle pit bull cuddling with a blue pillow on a couch.
Cheap shorts with a shitty stitch on the pocket seam. Looks very Frankenstein-monster-ish. The shorts are pretty shitty, but I like them and feel good wearing them. Worth the save and 15 minutes of work.
