After a spate of cool weather last week, it's back to summer. Kinda. It's been warm, but also very gray and gloomy.

Cat


Monty reaching out as he sleeps Monty is a grabby little cat even when he's trying to sleep.

Fandom


Anime commentary happened. The Ones Within is never going to make it to the level of the other two shows but I can sure count on it to keep things weird every week.

Hugo voting statistics have been released (PDF) and, as usual, nothing I nominated even turned up on the extended lists. I'm very happy to see Into the Spider-Verse (which I didn't nominate because I didn't get a chance to see it until a few weeks ago) picking up another award, though.

Gaming


Despite what I said last week about the crashes, I decided to try Sunless Skies one more time, and it didn't crash. And then another, and it didn't crash then, and so forth, and now it's been a week of playing it almost every day and just an occasional stutter. I'm loving it now.

Eggsy got two wins and one agonizingly close loss in this week's tournament, for two more chains. One more result like this, and it'll reach power level 2, at which point I'll take it out of FLGS play for now.

Books and media


After another chunk of Adam Smith, started on Teckla. I'm enjoying the organization of the book as a list of explanations for the stains that need removal and damage that needs repairing in the narrator's business clothing.

BEM is finally back and has certainly erased all trace of whatever parallels episode 4 had with the KyoAni tragedy.

Politics

  • FiveThirtyEight had a chat about trust in the news media and the decline of newspapers which made a great suggestion: Instead of worrying about the ideological, racial, or other composition the newsroom, add beats like religion, rural affairs, etc. And now I can't find the chat article. Argh.
  • Brexit flowchart watch: Bloomberg has one showing possible endless loops of misery.
