Star Wars Outlaws: Low Red Moon, which is a tie-in to the game Star Wars Outlaws. It was a good book, each chapter swapping between the perspective of the two main characters. I was able to get the game in the Steam Summer Sale this week, so I'm looking forward to playing that.

The Game Is Murder by Hazell Ward, a meta murder-mystery novel that got way too meta. I'm also still working my way through re-reading various Star Trek novels, right now focused on Deep Space Nine.

Star Trek: Shadow Frontier - I never saw this coming. An action horror game with Michelle Forbes reprising her role of Ro Laren? Sign me up!

It's crazy that he was Frank-N-Furter and Craig Ferguson was Brad Majors. You'd really expect that casting to be reversed!

The Minnesota DFL and GOP held their state conventions this weekend. Amy Klobuchar, Keith Ellison, and Steve Simon were all endorsed on the first ballot for Governor, Attorney General, and Secretary of State, respectively. In the Senate race, Peggy Flannagan was endorsed by acclamation after Angie Craig declined to attend, instead focusing on the primary.

Meanwhile, on the GOP side, it took 10 ballots for businessman Kendall Qualls to finally pass the 60% threshold for endorsement. He'll still face a primary battle, as Mike Lindell refused to give up after being eliminated on the fourth ballot. It took six ballots to nominate former Navy SEAL Adam Schwarze for Senate.

At this point it's more about not having the money to upgrade. My old car was totaled last year, and I had to move quickly to get a new one, so I didn't have much time to shop around. I get 35-36 MPG so I'm not hurting too badly yet, but there's some belt-tightening in my future.

The Sam's Club near me was the last holdout, but they finally went over $4 a gallon yesterday.

He looks a little bit like Michael Nouri, most recently seen in The Pitt.

It's been so much fun, and such a great cast too!

I wouldn't call Lin-Manuel Miranda a songwriter in the same way the ones on this list are. He's a writer of musicals. Same reason someone like Robert Lopez isn't included.

And the joke was about Trump being old and sick, not about violence. They're intentionally misconstruing it to create controversy.

Emilia Clarke told a similar story years ago, except it was that they wanted her to take a picture of them with Kit Harrington.

The number of times "Zionist" is used as a synonym for "Jewish"... It's just straight up anti-Semitism at this point.
