The area where the Royals play now is way sketchier than downtown. East of Troost is and always has been a shithole, but anywhere west of Troost and between 435 and the river is perfectly fine day to day, and has been for ten years. It’s only when people from the east side of town (or KCK) show up en masse for events (like today, or summer weekend nights in Westport) that shit like this happens. I’d bet a large sum of money the shooters from today have home addresses either east of Troost or somewhere in Wyandotte County. As soon as I heard there were multiple people involved I was pretty sure of that.

Everybody Wants Some is a solid under the radar baseball movie.

Two episodes in to Masters of the Air and it’s really good. The flight/aerial combat scenes are really well done. Definitely relays the sheer terror of flying in one of those bombing raids.

The first ten minutes or so of that movie is absolutely masterful. One of the better heist/action sequences ever made.

So, a several months later update… Threw myself back into the job market in my field while I maintained my position. I was very transparent with management at my company about the fact that I was actively looking and they had limited time to act. Got a number of offers while looking that were all significantly higher than what I was making, but chose to hold out for a bit more (it’s a wild time in my industry and there’s some real opportunity out there). Finally got an offer for about 75% more than I was making (and that’s before bonuses). Took that back to my management team, and to their credit they all went to bat for me with HR. Exactly zero of them (or me) ever got a response from the people that could actually make anything happen. So yeah, I ended up in a new role with a ton more control and decision making latitude at nearly double the pay and with much more opportunity for advancement. Can’t complain about that.

Just did a rewatch of Band of Brothers. Hadn’t seen it since it first came out. The story is still great, and it doesn’t feel dated at all outside of some “kinda too much” musical choices that they made. Major Dick Winters remains the most thoroughly likable character in the history of TV (and perhaps just people). Ron Livingston and Damien Lewis are both amazing in their roles.

Went to a music festival in coastal Maryland this last weekend with a bunch of old college friends. Saw plenty of good acts and bands, but Nathaniel Rateliff and the Night Sweats unquestionably put on the best show of the whole festival. Honestly one of the best shows I’ve ever seen period. That dude is just an exploding supernova of raw talent. I’ve seen a ton of shows in my life, and I’ve never seen anything like what that dude and his band did last night. Absolute fucking monsters.
