It is July and the best film of the year is still IMHO* Companion.
If you don't mind blood you should check it out. Best not to know anything else though I sort of knew too much but still really loved it.
*The H stands for "humble" (not "honest" though in this case I am) but it actually means that I am arrogant.

Just finished "The Melancholy of Summer" by Louisa Onomé. It's an excellent book about parental abandonment, rejecting and accepting help, and friendship, set in Toronto. There were a few threads that didn't quite get wrapped up by the end, but the ending wasn't dissatisfying, and the writing is excellent, particularly TV gee dialogue and the narration of Summer's thoughts. I felt like the strategic use of stutters both gave the main character extra vulnerability, but also helped subtly clue the reader into moments where Summer's perception of her interlocutors doesn't match their real feelings. Between this and "Like Home", I feel like Onomé's novels are a bit rough around the edges, yet they're still some of the most enjoyable books I've been reading, probably because she's pours so much humanity into her characters and lets their honest desire for something better rub off on the audience.

Raiders Leak Honest Impressions of Amari Cooper Following Retirement News https://heavy.com/sports/nfl/las-vegas-raiders/amari-cooper-retirement-leak/?adt_ei=[email]
Honestly, between the fascism, climate records breaking monthly, and AI I'd say we've arrived at the singularity.
Since the pandemic I've been feeling it's pointless, but every day I'm more and more certain it's not worth investing anything "for the future" any more.
So yeah I'm probably buying a guitar
@… Honestly I’d take a “vacation” to the country under those terms. Getting to go away on the cheap, AND I don’t have to be bored feeling like I’m “wasting time”? It’s the best of both worlds.
Heyyy, I kinda felt a little sorry for feeling your feed tonight, but honestly I was just bursting with self-love and all the queer sparkle ✨💖
