There are certain experiences in my life that permeate my soul. These certain experiences move me to think deeply about the most important pillars of society. I carry these around as precious treasures that are able to teach me about how the world and humanity functions. Below are two recent experiences I had the privilege of having.
A work friend invited me to his wedding, and I was honored to experience a Sundanese wedding for the first time.
Infinity Train Book 4: Duet
2024-12-02
Hello everyone! As you may or may not know, Infinity Train Book 4 has been announced!
On April 15, all 10 episodes of the fourth book of Infinity Train will be released on HBOMax.
Here’s the trailer:
It will, unfortunately, be our last season. I really appreciate everything that every fan has given to the show. We absolutely wouldn’t have a show if it weren’t for all the fans making their voices heard on the pilot and on the other seasons!
Sorry everyone, I thought I had enough time before any transactions would be announced, but this was submitted before the Pirates made several moves Thursday evening. I’m keeping it unchanged, because it still represents the absolute starting point for the offseason.
The offseason is getting ready to kick into high gear, which means Pittsburgh Pirate fans everywhere will wonder just how much payroll is and how much space there is for offseason moves.
Inosculation - by Max Falkowitz

I think there’s something erotic about John Carpenter’s paranoid monster movie, The Thing. The titular Thing has no defined shape of its own. It’s a motile pile of heads, limbs, and tentacles, sprouting new forms until it finds an organism to feed on and mimic. The Thing eats by fusing its ever-evolving body with its victim until the latter is fully absorbed. Then it takes the shape of the animal it just consumed, a copy nearly identical to the original.
Insha Allah vs. Masha Allah

If you’ve spent any time around a group of English speaking Muslims, you may have noticed that our sentences are peppered with Arabic phrases. If you pay really close attention, you’ll realize that most of these phrases end with Allah.
Muslims spend a lot of time thinking about Allah, speaking about Allah, considering Allah. If we’re doing it right, we’re living a very God-centered existence, even when we’re not in the middle of worship, like our five daily prayers, or reading the Quran.
Tell a Roman you’re going to Largo di Torre Argentina and they might assume you mean the transit hub. Countless people pass through this square in central Rome every day, getting on or off the dozens of buses and trams that stop there, many without giving a second thought to the ruins just below street level. But slow down and you’ll notice, in a sort of open stage set accessible only to the cats from the feline sanctuary who roam around them, truncated columns, crumbling walls, steps, and paving stones—all that’s left of four temples dating back to the Republican era around the 3rd century B.

Inspector Koo (2021) Early Look
2024-12-02
As regular visitors to this site know by now I am always up for a good crime drama. This looked like new territory for the K drama production line and the premise seemed to justify a peek — an ex cop freelancing as an insurance investigator whenever a junior colleague hauls her out of her comfort zone for the hard cases. As it’s become the habit of K drama storytelling, the lead is a quirky creature that dwells in the darkness of her apartment playing online multiplayer games.
