Self-promotional post today, because it’s going to be a fun one and you should totally be there! I’m hosting an event in my studio space next Thursday for the release of Crust Fund Pizza’s new pizza cookbook, Super Pizza World! Tickets are $75 but that also gets you a copy of the book (which is awesome and I have some writing in there myself!), along with a bunch of food and drinks. Plus, all the money collected is going to benefit a nonprofit organization in the building, Chicago Mobile Makers. As of writing this, there are about ten tickets remaining, so if this sounds fun, click this link asap for more info and to snag a spot!

Pittsburgh is one of the best cities in America
bitcoin is fascinating, while polarizing, no matter what the origin actually is

the sun is amazing. like, how does that even happen?!
the fact that the sun is one of trillions of other suns doesn’t make any sense
this very well could be some kind of simulation

Chicago is leagues better than Houston
San Antonio is an underrated city
Austin is an overrated city

There Will Be Blood is probably my favorite film
acting, as a job, is a crazy job
rivers are neat
massive solar flare is a natural disaster that worries me, probably because I live in Chicago and don’t have to worry about the obvious ones
Chicago is an underrated city
rivers are better than lakes
the US relies far too heavily on cars and trucks and should better utilize our waterways
China is a fascinating place
Russia is a fascinating place
both China and Russia will look far different than they do now in a few decades in ways we probably can’t predict
history is written by the winners
school is overrated but also very important for a functioning society
Jet Lag the game on youtube is one of my favorite shows and I wish I came up with the idea and did it myself
