Was the purpose of this documentary PR (improving Taylor's image?) I find it interesting that she switched from pop to 'poor people music' (indie folk) and even dressed like a rural person during COVID, which increased her popularity. Kind of a total re-brand at least until 'Midnights'. Also her relationship with Joe was 6 years long, which is several orders of magnitude longer than the other ones. She had bad press for dating too many people prior to Miss Americana and by being with 1 person for a while this was good for her image. Now she is with someone that can helps her career much more than an introvert can.

Black Myth: Wukong has sold over 10 million copies over the past couple of days. I think it will open the door for more Chinese games to reach international audiences so the field won't just be dominated by Japan. It is interesting though that there is some controversy due to the professional reviewers being idiotic/ racist against Chinese people and hating China-CCP , saying that it is 'immoral' for the game to be success.

Eras Tour is running until Dec 8th, 2024. Pretty insane and I wonder if it will gross $2 billion by the time it's finished. I suppose after that she will fade from the news until her next endeavor..

I tried doing the audiobooks for Tolkein's side stories and they really remind me of GRRM's side content for ASOIAF- the original/main story is still the best and the most of supporting stories are just history/lore notes- not fleshed out narratives.

very bony fresh fish seared in pan.

I ate a Stew Leonard BBQ rib sandwich on a grinder ($13) for the first time in 21 years. The last time I ate it was in a high school cafeteria. It was instantly somewhat disappointing. I was expecting them to put their leftover bbq rib meat in the sandwich and instead I got this processed pork sausage (coated in bbq sauce) shaped like a BBQ rib, just like high school lol. Overall, OK- won't buy it again.

what I learned (too late) from baking bread 25 times: DO NOT cut the bread right after you take it out. It causes the moisture to escape from the bread. Let the bread cool by itself and it'll come out great. Otherwise the bread gets really dry.
