This paper for my independent study is a mess. I’ve read a lot, and I like where it’s going, but combining everything isn’t going well.

I really do think there is something to this: How TV Trained Us to Be Conspiracy Theorists.

We got some breakfast Hot Pockets and they no longer ship with a paper “crisper” sleeve, instead recommending an air fryer for a crispier crust.

1. A hot pocket fresh out of the air fryer is indeed crispy, but;
2. It takes 15 minutes! Not exactly a quick breakfast anymore.

Excited that Cotton Bureau has finally added custom stickers. I added a few sticker designs, including my old film camera stickers.

Me: I really need to wrap up this paper on deprofessionization in the design industry so I can move on to working on my dissertation.

Also me: Digging FOUR papers out from past classes that I never did anything with and revisiting them.

Waking up to big F1 news. Christian Horner out at Red Bull. I guess losing to Nico Hulkenberg at Silverstone was the last straw. Is Max now more likely to leave for Mercedes? Less likely?

Fireflies baseball. A beautiful night to catch a minor league game.

My dad randomly asked me if I wanted the typewriter my grandparents bought him when he graduated college. He used it in seminary and his first call. Uh, YES! So I now have a Royal Safari manual typewriter. Seems to work well. Just need a new ribbon.

Watched the entire Cubs game today… 8 home runs. This team is fun to watch. Can’t wait to see them in person later this month.

Watching Cubs v. Cardinals on Apple’s Friday Night Baseball, which is actually on Friday afternoon for July 4. PCA with a great diving catch in the first inning. ⚾️
