I'm back in Cannes for the third year in a row! I can gladly say that this festival is more than worth the effort, even though it takes a lot of work to make it magical. I've been able to continually attend thanks to the 3 Days in Cannes program, which is offered to people aged 18-28. For any of you in that age range, I highly recommend you take up the opportunity to attend!
You can check out a ton of pictures I took on my Instagram Account and other reactions at my Letterboxd. While I didn't get any personal pictures with celebrities like last year, I did briefly cross paths with Alice Rohrwacher after the premiere of La Chimera, Nanni Moretti on his way to the closing ceremony, and Jonathan Glazer as he was walking away from his photoshoot with the Grand Prix.
Just as I have done with the 2021 and 2022 editions with this post, I’m going to share my thoughts on the 13 films I saw (a new record!), as well as reactions I heard from people about other films. I’ll also give my Oscar prognosis on each one.
I'll list them in the order I saw them, and then give a final ranking at the end. This was probably the weakest edition of the three years I've been. But don't let that statement mislead you, because a bad year is still pretty good.
And before you comment, I was NOT able to see any of the out-of-competition premieres like Killers of the Flower Moon, Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, or Elemental. I also won't be covering them in this post since those movies have been widely talked about and will be major talking points for months to come.

FILMS I SAW

A BRIGHTER TOMORROW
My Review: With his own version of Bardo, Nanni Moretti provides humorous meta commentary on his personal and professional life, as well as the state of modern filmmaking.
While not all that innovative or groundbreaking, it's still light and breezy enough to be a good time. (6/10)
Oscar Prognosis: It received much worse reviews than I anticipated. Moretti has never been on the Academy's radar either, and it looks almost certain that La Chimera will be Italy's submission for the International Feature category.
ABOUT DRY GRASSES
My Review: 197 minutes with the biggest asshole in all of Turkey. Will definitely require (and deserve) a rewatch at some point, although I'm not exactly sure I'll ever have the ambition to dive back into this again. (6/10)
Oscar Prognosis: My dissatisfaction puts me in the minority, as many other people walked away thinking this was one of Ceylan's best. It's ultra talky and ultra slow (just like all Ceylan films). Merve Dizdar's win for Best Actress was fully deserved, as she provides a much more interesting character arc compared to the main "protagonist."
Ceylan has represented Turkey numerous times for Best International Feature, but he has yet to be nominated. I doubt this will be the film to crack him in, as it's respected more than loved. It also doesn't have a US distributor, so we'll have to see who picks it up.
MONSTER
My Review: Kore-eda brings Rashomon into the modern age with Monster, a movie that is both much more gentle and deadlier than it's title implies. While I hope be goes back to writing his own scripts, Kore-eda's touch as a director is still undeniable, especially during the final two acts. (7/10)
Oscar Prognosis: This film is eerily similar to Lukas Dhont's Close from last year, which I mean in the best way possible. Shoplifters remains as Kore-eda's only film to receive Oscar attention. I don't think Monster will bring him back, especially with Japan likely to submit Miyazaki's How Do You Live?.
MAY DECEMBER
My Review: Grab the marshmallows and graham crackers because Todd Haynes is bringing the camp! Portman and Moore have delicious chemistry, with Charles Melton taking over from Austin Butler as the new CW movie star. I'm hoping the Netflix acquisition will allow a new generation of cinephiles to appreciate Haynes. (7/10)
Oscar Prognosis: I want to give major props to everyone involved with this film for not spoiling just how silly it is. Portman and Moore are going BIG with their performances, and so Is Todd Hayne's direction. This is "trash" handled by masters of the craft. I'm kind of doubtful of it being a big Oscar player on account of its weirdness. If anything, maybe the screenplay and Portman can get in with the last slots. We'll know more once Netflix outlines their release strategy for it, as I don't know if they'll bring back into the conversation with the fall festivals, or just kind of toss it aside.
LAST SUMMER
My Review: Nothing like climbing the Lumiere steps at 7am to watch some stepmom-stepson action. To be honest, I only saw this so I could see at least one movie in the Grand Theatre, as everything else from schedule was one of the secondary theaters. (6/10)
Oscar Prognosis: Won't be submitted by France, nor does it have good reviews. No chance whatsoever. It's not like a Catherine Breillat film was going to gel with the Oscar's anyway.
THE ZONE OF INTEREST
My Review: Sickening in the most calculated way possible, The Zone of Interest is Jonathan Glazer's answer to the question of how evil can exist unchecked. Soak it all in during your first watch, because I doubt you'll ever want to view the world this way again. (8/10)
Oscar Prognosis: This is going to be the movie that critics will rally around during the season, so don't be surprised if NYFCC and/or LAFCA throw it their laurels. There's rumors that A24 will be releasing it around December, meaning they're likely to tour it around all of the major fall festivals.
I know we've been going by the "one international director nominated per year" rule for a while now, but I think we need to look at it a little more specifically. Every international directing nominee in the expanded era has been for a movie that won a prize at Cannes: 2011: Michel Hazanavicius (The Artist); 2012: Michael Haneke (Amour); 2018: Paweł Pawlikowski (Cold War); 2019: Bong Joon-ho (Parasite); 2020*: Thomas Vinterberg (Another Round); 2021: Ryusuke Hamaguchi (Drive My Car); 2022: Ruben Östlund (Triangle of Sadness). Glazer could, and probably will, join that list. This is such a directorial showcase that that specific branch has been known to favor.
However, I wouldn't go around thinking this will be a strong contender in many other categories. This is a cold arthouse movie that is a miserable watch, meaning it could be a turnoff for a good chunk of voters. Think of it more like a Terrence Malick movie.
The script and the actors, while great, aren't the things the movie focuses on, nor are they the features you walk away most impressed by. Mica Levi's score is incredibly haunting, but it rarely featured (maybe less than 25% of the movie), so I'm not sure how much traction it will get.
It's likely between the UK and Poland for submitting it for Best International Feature. My money is on Poland considering that's where a good chunk of the funds came from, and the story is more closely connected to that region. Whoever submits it, this will be one of the major contenders.
FIREBRAND
My Review: I'm a simple man. I see some costumes and hear a big score, I'm satisfied. This could have used a little more directorial flair (which slightly begs the question for why it was even here to begin with), but Vikander and Law make up for that with their fiery performances. (7/10)
Oscar Prognosis: It only had an outside chance to begin with, and the reviews have mostly sunken any sliver of hope. Dune: Part Two, Killers of the Flower Moon, Oppenheimer, and Barbie are likely to crowd the craft categories, making it extremely doubtful this gets in anywhere. Jude Law's performance is a standout, but there won't be any passion for the movie to take him anywhere. This really should have been a TIFF Gala premiere.
BLACK FLIES
My Review: You might as well walk into this movie with a headache because you're going to get one five minutes in. You might as well not watch this movie if you're squeamish to blood and needles. You might as well not watch this movie if you want to watch interesting characters in an original story. You might as well not watch this movie. (5/10)
Oscar Prognosis: There really needs to be limit out in place for how much Sean Penn can be at Cannes, because his output these past few years has been putrid. No Oscar chances, nor will anyone probably see it.
ANATOMY OF A FALL
My Review: Disappointing isn't the right word (since I still liked it), but there was something special missing that prevented me from loving it like everyone else. 150 minutes doesn't necessarily fly by, no matter how flawless Sandra Huller's performance is. Maybe Saint Omer filled me up on French courtroom dramas and I'm still not ready for more? (7/10)
Oscar Prognosis: I didn't think Neon would get much out of Triangle of Sadness last year, so I don't want to count them out again. This will likely be France's submission for Best International Feature, and possibly be their best chance to win the category after years of a disappointment. Similar to Jonathan Glazer, Sandra Hüller's lead performance will be a critic's favorite. I'm doubtful about Best Picture and any of the other top categories, but I could see still see it happening if other big contenders start dropping off.
PERFECT DAYS
My Review: The serenity of doing the mundane, and the bliss we could all achieve if we didn't overcomplicate everything we do. One of those movies that sounds terrible on paper, and yet is oh so beautiful. Watch this on a calm summer day with some tea. (7/10)
Oscar Prognosis: This a Japanese-German co-production, so either country could submit it. Wenders has never been nominated in the Best International Feature category (although that's mostly because it's been forever since he made a good narrative feature). With Neon also behind it, there's an outside shot of a nomination.
BANEL & ADAMA
My Review: I've always had a blind spot for African films, so I felt compelled to let this be a mini-introduction. Plus, it's barely 80 minutes so it slotted easily into my schedule. It has a bold style about it, with some striking cinematography and music cues. A stronger narrative would have lifted it higher. A great debut, and I'd be happy to watch Sy's next film if it were to come back to the festival. (6/10)
Oscar Prognosis: It doesn't have a US distributor, nor do I think will get a US release in time for contention. It won't matter, as the reviews are tepid and the movie doesn't have the gravitas to stay noticed.
ASTEROID CITY
My Review: By far the strangest film in his already strange filmography, Asteroid City is Wes Anderson's attempt at a Christopher Nolan movie. It's got all the trappings you've come to love (or hate), with some really interesting methods to express its ideas. I'm already planning more than one rewatch once it opens in theaters! (8/10)
Oscar Prognosis: I'm a Wes Anderson apologist (The French Dispatch still remains one of my all-time favorite movies after seeing it at Cannes 2021), so don't think my rave reaction will be uniformly applied. This movie is way weirder than you think it's going to be, which is evidenced by the divided critical reactions.
As with all Anderson projects, it's impeccably crafted. But with The French Dispatch being blanked in a relatively weaker year, I'm not so sure this will crack any categories. Maybe Best Production Design, but there are so many other heavy hitters I'd predict first.
THE OLD OAK
My Review: This was rumored for a prize, which would have absolutely pissed me off. Painfully flat and oversimplified, with way too much time spent speechifying instead of actually building characters. Basically boils down to "racism is bad" and ends without resolving the main plot and one of the subplots. (4/10)
Oscar Prognosis: Ken Loach is not an Oscar player, so don't expect anything.

FILMS I WASN’T ABLE TO SEE

*I’m only going to talk about the films that I heard about from other people and might stand a chance of actually getting released in America for Oscar contention. You have to remember that about 1/3 of the films at Cannes never get released outside of their native country*
FALLEN LEAVES
It won the Jury Prize and was acquired by Mubi, so there's some hope it gets into the Best International Feature category. Kaurismäki has been nominated before, and I expect this to pop up at the fall festivals.
LA CHIMERA
The reviews from highbrow critics have been great, but there was a much more mixed reaction from the "regular" people I talked to. I expect Italy to submit it, and it has a decent chance of getting nominated.
THE POT AU FEU
This was definitely the surprise of the festival. It premiered pretty late and it immediately became the talk of the town the day after. It still doesn't have US distribution, so I'm not sure what prospects it has. Honestly, the best case scenario is that it becomes a cult classic years later and inspires some food-themed screenings at indie cinemas.

“Damnit, just a bit longer!” Kaga cursed to herself as she tried to push her Zeroes above the flight plane of the attacking Ironblood fighters. The bombers had been easily eclipsed in terms of altitude, but they ignored the Sakura planes to target fixed assets. “Akagi, they are coming!”
“I sense them, sister,” the brown-haired kitsune replied through gritted teeth, feeling the pain of MG fire piercing the wings, fuel tanks, and cockpits of her aircraft. “These bastards! Can’t you Union girls do your jobs?”
“You mean stopping those bombers from turning one of the largest Royal dockyards into scrap metal? Get bent, Akagi,” Minneapolis replied for her faction, following a spotlight with her five inch guns and opening up the moment she caught sight of a Stuka within its range. To either side of her, South Dakota and Massachusetts were spitting out hellish barrages of AA fire that made her guns look like peashooters. “Damn, I really need an upgrade.”
“Laffey just wanted to drink…” the little destroyer complained sleepily, doing her best to help out her capital ships as the stream of enemy aircraft continued low and fast. “Where is Commander?”
“We need to make do for now, Laffey. Be sure to stay close to me!” Arizona encouraged her escorts. She’d upgraded her own AA complement significantly since Pearl Harbor, but she was still operating an older hull in tight confines. “Kaga, if more of those planes begin to target us we won’t last long.”
“We’re doing the best we can, but our fighters are at a significant disadvantage,” the kitsune replied curtly. Akashi was not pleased.
“Then idiot foxes must do better, nyaa! Akashi refuses to die in such icky, cold water!”
“Time in exile has only worsened your abrasive tendencies, cat,” Akagi shot back before lashing out at an approaching bomber with a spirit attack. It was effective, but a piecemeal effort that did nothing to blunt the assault.
“Less banter, more killing!” Hiryuu insisted, scrunching up her face in frustration as another Ironblood fighter wing dove at her Zeroes. In a fair fight she would have dodged them easily, but the altitude advantage was still theirs. With great consternation she drew her sword and commanded her aircraft in a sudden reversal. “Fine then, if I can’t win neither can you!”
“She’s lucky she possesses such great strength, otherwise her proclivity for battle would kill her,” Soryuu commented of her sister, Thorson’s small group arriving at the dockyards just in time to witness a trio of fireballs light up the skies above Plymouth. Hiryuu had smashed her own aircraft into the enemy. Sheffield’s driving could only have been described as spirited, delivering them to the battle with nauseating speed.
“Thank you. Good job dodging those bombs,” Thorson said quickly to the Royal maid before taking off at a sprint to rejoin his fleet. “Penny!”
“I’ve got it, sir. Ark, Soryuu, with me!” the valkyrie shouted, summoning her rigging and tossing the carriers on it one to a side. In a flash they were headed out into deep water where the battleship’s hull shimmered into being, adding area to the fleet’s AA envelope.
“We appreciate the cover, Pennsylvania-san,” Soryuu nodded politely before leaping off to begin commanding her own hull. All around them, flaming wreckage rained down like hellfire as Akagi and Kaga joined Hiryuu in kamikaze runs, tails ablaze with power as they knew they were witnessed by their Shikikan. “The others are clearing us a path, Ark-san. We must not waste it!”
“Agreed,” the Royal carrier replied shortly, taking aim with her rifle and sending wing after wing of her robust P-40’s skyward. With five carriers fully operational and shielded from the enemy by ship and ground based AA fire, the tide of battle seemed primed to turn. “Knight Commander, your orders?”
Thorson radioed back with Sheffield’s help, having taken position at a fortified AA battery. “First impressions are important, ladies. We have an opportunity to make two of them tonight. Don’t waste it!”
-----
“Your Majesty, we should not linger here. We are exposed,” Belfast pointed out. The two of them were positioned on a dark hill overlooking Plymouth to the south and Exeter to the east. The young monarch turned Hood’s pocket watch over in her fingers, feeling the cool, polished metal and glass against her skin.
“Honor and Glory? Every day we struggle to live to see the next. Where is the glory in that?” she wondered, more to herself than her caretaker. Belfast closed her eyes and remained silent. Her Majesty was a troubled enigma, an old warrior with the soul of a young lady. Fortunately for Belfast, she did not need to answer. The dead responded in her stead. Elizabeth gasped, almost dropping the watch as flames seemed to dance across the cracked, reflective face. She looked around and then above her, but the only fire she could see was far off in the skies above the dockyard. Returning her gaze to the heirloom, she saw her oldest friend and companion, Warspite, sailing out of dock proudly with her sword held aloft and Sir Raleigh on her shoulder, anti-air guns blazing away as she joined the struggle. The vision blurred and shifted, resolving into the image of South Dakota and her sister battleship.
“Oh sure, they have honor and glory right there on their chests,” Elizabeth scoffed, though it was hard to ignore the calm, collected look on their faces as the two Union battleships provided the cornerstone of Thorson’s defense with powerful guns and shields. The watch gifted the young monarch brief visions of Pennsylvania and Arizona, Soryuu and Hiryuu, and Ark Royal as well. For a moment she thought she even saw a shock of long, blonde hair and an Ironblood uniform before the final vision. Sailors of her homeland defending the Homefront, bloodied and tired they fought on nevertheless, shouting defiance at the incoming air raid and praying for King, Queen, and country. Belfast’s hand rested on her shoulder.
“The Lady Hood is ever wise, even in death it would seem. War is hell, but every man and woman who fights earns opportunity to drape themselves in honor,” she said sagely. “I’m sorry for intruding.” Elizabeth nodded, wiping a tear from her eye. For far too long her existence had consisted of retreat, evasion, and casualty reports. From a distance, war truly was hell.
“Take me there, Belfast. Please,” she whispered. The head of the Maid Corps smiled softly.
“As you command Your Majesty, with utmost swiftness.”

“Hey, no need to play hero anymore bunny. Take a rest,” Tennessee insisted, having removed her hull temporarily from the fight to check in on Hiryuu. The brazen fighter of the Second Carrier Division had secured elevation for her comrades via attrition, using her own aircraft in the majority of kamikaze flights against enemy Messerschmitts and Focke-Wulfs until Kaga and Akagi could take over anti-fighter duties. The twin kitsunes had done so with gusto, finally able to flex the superior mobility of their aircraft against the Ironblood attackers. That left Soryuu and Ark Royal to coordinate anti-bomber efforts, a task better suited to the Royal’s slower and more heavily armed planes.
“Shikikan’s going to be upset with you, blondie. Battle’s not over yet,” Hiryuu pointed out, breathing heavily as multiple bruises developed all over her body. Tennessee shook her head.
“And he’ll be upset with you if you push yourself too hard. Besides, the new girls got way better AA than I do,” the battleship reasoned, moving to physically support Hiryuu as the carrier’s strength began to fade. “You Sakura types need to learn the value of a tactical withdrawal. Hey Akashi, we need some support over here for the rabbit!”
“Then come get it yourself if you have enough time to be on another kansen’s hull, nyaa!” the minty kitty insisted. “Skies are still full of enemy aircraft and Akashi is a large tub!”
“And they will keep coming. Such is the industrial might of the Ironblood, augmented by the malice of the Sirens,” Bismarck prophesized, stepping softly out onto deck to survey the battle firsthand. “Your command structure is unlike anything I’ve ever seen, Kommandant Thorson, but I cannot argue with its effectiveness. To thin her ranks so quickly, with so many air bases at her disposal is… If you will permit me, I would assist in this valiant defense.”
“Zed, keep an eye on her,” was all Thorson had to say at Bismarck's request as he continued to monitor the battle from the shoreline. There hadn’t yet been an opportunity to call away a kansen from the fight to ferry him out to the South Dakota. Even if Tennessee saw fit to abandon her own hull, she was better served tending to his carriers than him. “Not sure what she could even do at this point.”
Though his doubts had not been spoken over radio, Bismarck understood how juvenile her request must have seemed. The Ironblood battleship looked out over the waters of the channel, taking in the profile and cadence of Massachusetts’ guns. The Union battleship was impressive in both volume and accuracy of fire, there was no doubt. “It seems you were right to criticize me, dark-skinned one. But this symphony of war, the Scherzo of Iron and Blood, it is where I was born.”
Z23 watched from nearby, her rigging at the ready as the darkness of early morning began to break ever so slightly with the coming of dawn. She didn’t know where Bismarck had acquired it, but the blonde-haired woman held a Luger in her gloved hand and had just pointed it skyward. “The silly Ironblood should go back inside, nyaa! They are coming directly for Akashi now and all you have is a toy!” the owner of the ship pointed out as a wing of Stukas broke off from an attacking group and dove right for them. The telltale scream of the bombers had Akashi scurrying for cover and Zed returning fire as best as she could with her rigging, but Bismarck smiled as bullets hit the deck around her and she deflected a couple of them with a flickering shield.
“The battle trance is sweet, isn’t it, Zeppelin? I should know… I was the first lulled by its siren song. We would rather close our eyes and dream our glories, for that’s what our masters have promised us. But they are false prophets, just as our creators were false masters. I have walked through that nightmare and survived to see the true calling of Ironblood. Now open your eyes to the same!” Bismarck yelled with sudden fury. The barrel of her sidearm glowed a sickly red, the same color as Laffey’s infamous annihilation attack, as the woman pulled the trigger. The cadence of battle around the dockyards stopped for a second or two as a bright, powerful beam of light shot skyward from Bismarck’s position, destroying the bombers that had been diving directly at her. The leader of Ironblood closed her eyes and lowered her surviving arm. “If you lose the will to fight I will not blame you, Graf Zeppelin, not after all you have endured. But if the fire still burns within, wherever you are, find me. Find us.”
Bismarck turned to Z23 and Graf Spee as radio chatter confirmed that the attacking forces had suddenly fallen into disarray. The corners of her mouth just barely twitched towards a smile. The connection had been severed. “What’s with those looks, you two?”
“H-How?! Lord Bismarck-”
The battleship shook her head, glancing around them to ensure that the Akashi was no longer under immediate threat from the air. “If you’re willing to take advice from someone like me, Zed, forge ahead with your own power. The price I’ve paid, that we’ve all paid, in order to do what I just did is far too great.”
“And what is it that you just did, exactly?” Spee wondered, her tone ever soft. Bismarck’s answer was simple yet opaque in its description.
“Nothing more than return free will to the Mother of Ironblood. I have faith she will be able to overcome those who used her powers to attack us today.”
“Um…” Zed tried, unable to think of anything else to say as the three Ironblood watched the final minutes of battle unfold around them. Despite her flashy and effective attack, Bismark was content to return her weapon to a shoulder holster, concealed within her long coat. She let the combined forces of Thorson’s fleet and the defending Royals clean up the remaining enemies following the attack that had severed the strings between puppet and puppet master.
“The campaign to liberate the Kriegsmarine will begin shortly, you two. But for now,” Bismarck stated, closing her eyes as though to focus on a sensation just out of reach. “We shall cede the stage to others of great importance.”

“Jack, I think they’re breaking! Next shell!” called one of many sailors operating QF 3.7 inch AA guns at the Plymouth dockyards. When the next shell never arrived, he turned to find his partner slumped against the sandbags that helped to fortify their position, a hand over his side. “Oh shite, Jack!”
“Keep firing, damnit! I’m done,” the wounded sailor insisted. “Don’t let those bastards win.”
“But- medic!”
“Didn’t you hear him? Keep firing! For King and country!” came a sudden, high pitched voice rather unsuited to the battlefield as Queen Elizabeth hurried up to the two sailors. She could see and smell expended shells everywhere, a proof of her countrymen’s valiant defense, and smiled. At a simple touch, the AA gun resumed its fire, bringing down one of the few Junkers still left in the air. “Lady Belfast, see to him with Sheffield! I’ll find the others and bring them to you! You there, sailor!”
“Y-y-yes, Your Majesty?!”
“Are you still capable?”
“Of course, Your Majesty!” he saluted. Elizabeth broke contact with the gun and it fell silent.
“Then carry on! I can’t do anything if I’m stuck here operating a single gun,” she pointed out before pulling up one of her stockings and heading on into the thick of the dockyards, leaving a silently smiling Belfast and a confused sailor in her wake.
“Triage duty then? Is she going to be alright?” Sheffield asked as she approached Belfast in the closing moment of the battle proper. The head of the Maid Corps nodded.
“She will fight and lead, if that’s what you’re asking, Sheffield. Our Majesty has never been able to back down from a challenge. Now help me move him. We’ll set up in that warehouse over there. We shouldn’t be treating wounded out in the open.”
“Sure. And the Queen?”
“Let her be. She’s rediscovering why she needs to fight.”
-----
“All things considered I’d say that went rather well,” Thorson said to himself, looking out at the docks where his fleet sat proudly and mostly unharmed at sea. The bulin crews were out in force, delivering coolant to rejuvenate drained kansen and attending to the superficial damage sustained by his capital ships. The same could not be said for the dockyards themselves, however. Several buildings had been demolished or set ablaze, and all assembled counted their lucky stars that the ammunition depot had not been one of them. He nodded to Indianapolis as she hopped up out of the water and came to stand beside him.
“You shouldn’t be alone, Commander,” she said quietly. He rested a hand on her head, disturbing her ahoge for a moment.
“I’m not anymore, am I?”
“No. The fleet awaits your orders,” the kansen told him as he took stock of the situation.
“You fought well, Indy. Let’s remain on standby for now. I still don’t know what Bismarck did, but it seemed to turn the tide of the fight immediately. That doesn’t mean it was permanent, however. Sun’s coming up at least. Let’s go see about finding someone from the Royal Navy.”
“Ok,” Indy agreed pleasantly, summoning her rigging so she could float about. Since the fight at the Sanctuary her bomb had not reappeared, but he figured such a weapon probably took more than a few meals and days of bedrest to recover. Thorson smiled as Oppenheimer the manjuu perched himself on his master’s shoulder and began to snooze.
“It’s been a long night for all of us,” he pointed out as they wandered, doing their best to stay out of the way of damage control teams. It wasn’t long before they caught sight of Queen Elizabeth herself, looking both haggard and heroic as she assisted two sailors towards the makeshift field hospital her maids had set up. She supported one with an arm over the shoulder, and was carrying the second over the other. Thorson motioned silently that they should follow, not wanting to speak to the Royal kansen’s leader without at least Warspite present, not after their initial meeting.
The commander and Indy watched as Elizabeth was ‘ambushed’ by Sheffield upon her arrival at the field hospital, the maid procuring a Kodak Medalist from somewhere within her voluminous dress and snapping a couple of pictures. The veteran battleship began spluttering. “S-Sheffield! What in the Lord’s name are you doing? Stop taking pictures and help me!”
“What do you think, Lady Belfast? Too late for the morning print?” Sheffield asked her superior, unconcerned at her leader’s reaction. Belfast clicked her tongue, scolding them lightly as she helped with the wounded.
“Your Majesty, you can never underestimate the power of propaganda in times of war. News will go out in the morning press of yet another air raid on London and other sites throughout the south of the country. Imagine the response when the people learn this evening that Plymouth was saved and they see their Queen fighting on the frontlines. Sheffield, don’t surprise people carrying the wounded.”
“But I didn’t fight…” she muttered, laying the sailor she’d been carrying down on a cot and finding her clothes stained red and she stepped away and allowed a nurse to tend to him. Belfast placed a hand on her shoulder.
“But you will, won’t you? No tears now, not in front of the wounded,” the cruiser urged. The blonde-haired Royal nodded.
“Yes. Yes I will.”
-----
“Knight Commander! Jolly good show, all that! Oh, you’re… Indianapolis, yes? Say hello, Sir Raleigh!” Warspite urged, the spry battleship waltzing up to where Thorson waited patiently outside of the field hospital, seated on a crate with Indy as his fleet remained on standby. The manjuus needed no encouragement to catch up with one another, chirping and ‘juuu-ing’ animatedly. The sight had them all softening their expressions as fires were dealt with and the clean-up began in earnest.
“Hello again, Warspite,” Indy returned the greeting as Thorson shook the woman’s gloved hand.
“I’m glad you saw fit to leave that gigantic bomb somewhere else. It always gave me an uneasy feeling,” the battleship explained, causing Thorson to wink at his heavy cruiser.
“That’s because we dropped it on the Sakura. What’s the situation, Warspite?” the man requested. Her brows rose and her ears wiggled atop her head, but she said nothing more about Indy’s weapon.
“We won the day, in no small part thanks to your air force. I’m loathe to admit it, but your carriers might even give the RAF a run for their money. At least we Royals can count one of our number among them. Smashing her planes into the enemy to punch a hole for the others? Unbelievable,” Warspite complimented Hiryuu in absentia.
“I’ll let her know you thought so. Is the Prime Minister-”
“He should be with Amazon and Leander, among others,” Warspite assured him, planting her sword against the ground and resting her hands on the pommel. “I appreciate your concern, but he’s the last one you need to be worried about at the moment. I’d like to apologize officially for my sister’s behavior. She…”
“You both have seen a lot, haven’t you? Even back when I was a kid, probably,” Thorson guessed, alluding to the First World War. Warspite nodded.
“Be that as it may, it is no excuse for such unbecoming behavior,” the battleship sighed. “I shall have to take it up with her when we-”
The woman’s ears perked up again as raised, female voices came from within the nearby building. “How can you be thinking of tea at a time like this?!”
“I never thought I’d hear you question tea time, Your Majesty.”
“Belfast, we’re in the middle of a warzone!”
“Former warzone, thanks to our brave sailors and formidable allies. Come, Your Majesty. Morale is just as important as propaganda.”
Thorson rubbed his face, wearing a tired but bemused expression. “That Belfast sounds like a handful herself.”
“Strong willed doesn’t begin to describe her,” Warspite concurred with a laugh before looking to the sky above where dawn was breaking and the sun was slowly climbing to the height necessary to dissipate the chilly fog that was so ubiquitous in Britannia. “But I’m very glad to see that Lizzie joined us. Thank you, Knight Commander.”
“Lizzie?” he asked pointedly as Indianapolis continued to listen politely and monitor communications among the fleet. Warspite blushed before pointing strongly at him.
“I would advise against calling her that if you wish to keep your head on your shoulders. My apologies for my lack of formality,” Warspite continued, but Thorson waved it off.
“Wasn’t going to, no worries. But I’m not sure I did anything in relation to the Queen,” he pointed out. The corgi-like battleship shook her head.
“That’s where you’re wrong, Knight Commander. You don’t understand what the European Theater has been like. It wasn’t a place where one man, or a small group of women, could change the tides of war. That may be changing.”
Thorson glanced to his side, finding Indy trying to stifle an immense yawn. His own exhaustion hit him like a ton of bricks as the adrenaline of battle passed. “I hate to delay our meeting with the Prime Minister further, but my fleet needs a few hours of rest at least.”
“And we need some time to account for casualties and assess the damage,” Warspite agreed. “I don’t believe Her Majesty will begrudge you a bit of shuteye.”
“Can we meet somewhere near Exeter Cathedral? The dead of this war should be laid to rest properly,” Thorson insisted, causing Indianapolis to stiffen slightly. Warspite’s pleased expression faded.
“I will make the arrangements. Tend to the living for now, Knight Commander. We will speak again soon,” Warspite promised before heading into the warehouse, presumably to speak with Elizabeth and the other Royal kansen. With a nod, Thorson and Indy headed back to the water’s edge.
“All ships to low alert status,” he ordered, dragging a hand over his face to ward off a yawn as the gulls began to return to the skies over Plymouth, agnostic to the carnage as they searched for food. “Focus on sleep and then repairs. We’ve proven what we can do.”
-----
“Frau Bismarck?”
“Mmm, I’m keeping you awake aren’t I, Zed? I apologize. Please go on. I’ll return to my cot in a few moments. I couldn’t even swim to shore like this if I wanted to,” the battleship pointed out with a shrug of her shoulder. Z23 bowed low.
“As you command. Please try to get some sleep. That attack must have been draining,” the destroyer guessed before heading inside. Bismarck shook her head sadly, gripping the railings of the Akashi with her good hand.
“I’m glad she found a place where she is needed. That girl was always too trusting, and the Kriegsmarine betrayed that trust. Oh? Where did you come from, little thing? And what’s that you have there?”
The kansen’s attention had shifted to a small, yellow bird attempting to hop up the side of the ship with a large piece of paper clutched in its beak. Bismarck steadied herself before reaching out her gloved hand to it, finding the manjuu to be both heavy and friendly as it hopped up her arm and then shoulder to sit astride one of her epaulets before offering her the note. “You’re a brave one, aren’t you? The others seem to keep to that ghost ship. Now what is this you’ve found amongst the wreckage of this place?”
Bismarck’s curious expression shifted first to surprise and then despair as she read a pledge of protection written in U-556’s script.
“Juuu~” mournfully sang the manjuu as Bismarck folded the note and stashed it safely away in the pocket of her overcoat.
“My dear Parzival of the seas, have you gone to the void? How many more were lost while I was consumed by blood and wrath?” she wondered, shutting her eyes tightly. To shed tears was unbecoming of a leader of Ironblood. “I must rest now, little one. Perhaps a well-deserved nightmare awaits me for abandoning a faithful knight to this war? Are you just a messenger?”
“Juu,” the manjuu retorted shortly, seemingly content to remain on her shoulder with a stoic look in its eyes as Bismarck headed for her bed in the infirmary.
“I see,” she murmured, bringing up her hand so that they could look at one another directly for a moment. “Then you shall be Parzival, a reminder to never stray again from the path I know is right. We will not stop until she and all the dead are able to rest in peace.”
The fluffy bird hopped back onto her shoulder and then onto her hat where it settled down as though beginning a long watch. “Ju.”
-----
“We hereby commit these lives to the deep, to return to corruption. Looking for the resurrection. When the sea shall give up her dead, and the life of the world to come, through our Lord. Amen.”
Word of a special mass to be held at Exeter had spread far and wide in the hours following the battle at Plymouth, and by the time Thorson and his fleet arrived at the cathedral, delivered by Belfast and several human members of the Maid Corps, a throng of soldiers, civilians, and kansen had assembled to pray and give thanks for victory, if only temporary.
A brief word with the priest, overseen by Queen Elizabeth and Warspite, had been all that was required. Over the next hour, Jupiter, Edinburgh, Curlew, and all of the Royal kansen who had fallen had their cubes laid to rest properly. The mass concluded with the wisdom cubes formerly belonging to Lady Hood, which still swirled with tempestuous energies.
“Knight Commander, do you think…” Ark Royal whispered from where she knelt beside him in one of the front pews, hewn from dark wood. He did not have a chance to answer her before the cubes were consecrated with holy water by the priest. A faint sound, a single note, could soon be heard echoing throughout the immense, vaulted interior of the house of worship, coming from everywhere and nowhere at once. It rose in volume until louder than the choir during a Sunday service, but none covered their ears or averted their eyes. Thorson watched unmoving as the priest knelt, touched his forehead to the altar, and began to fervently pray. All but his own fleet followed suit, humbled by the presence of a ‘miracle’.
“I suppose that’s not too far off the mark,” Thorson murmured to himself as Hood’s cubes suddenly flashed and steadied out, glowing a constant, brilliant, angelic gold as the sound faded and the congregation was left in stunned silence. Even from a distance, Thorson knew what would happen if he attempted to remove those particular cubes from the altar. “I think Hermes, Prince of Wales, and the others will be alright, Ark, even if their cubes are never recovered.”
“They will be found, after we win this war,” Ark replied with confidence he hadn’t seen since before her union with the other Ark Royals in the mirror sea. “But until then I think you’re right, Knight Commander. Lady Hood was always the best of us.”
“It would seem that she still is. I will advise the High Priestess to pilgrimage to this place,” came Kaga’s quiet voice from the other side of Ark Royal. The rest of the Sakura had seated themselves further back given the unfamiliar territory of a Christian house of worship, sending the snowy kitsune forward as a ‘representative’. The two carriers looked at one another for a short moment before nodding silently as the priest rose to his feet and turned to face them all.
“Brothers and sisters, go now in the light of the Lord to love and serve one another in this time of immense strife. Do so with great joy and without fear, for so long as this light shines Britannia shall endure. Praise be to God.”
“That’s quite the promise, but I doubt Lady Hood will disappoint,” Ark spoke quietly as Thorson made the sign of the cross and stood, waiting patiently to file out of the crowded church. Belfast approached him while Warspite and Queen Elizabeth spoke with the pastor and reviewed the resting places of the other cubes one last time.
“You’ve not been here twenty four hours, Knight Commander Thorson, but miracle after miracle seems to follow in your wake,” the top maid complimented him, jotting down a couple of notes on a pad of paper. “I don’t think you understand the gravity of what’s just happened.”
“Not to contradict you, Lady Belfast,” he replied as the echoing acoustics of the building gave them some privacy thanks to all of the excited, ambient chatter. “But I think I have a very good idea. It’s just from the perspective of someone who fights with kansen instead of a civilian.”
“I suppose you’re right,” she allowed, shepherding him towards a side exit. His fleet took note easily enough and followed behind, accompanying Belfast through the cloister and then underground into what had to have been rather hastily constructed tunnels. “Under other circumstances I would suggest returning the majority of your fleet to the dockyards, but I believe such a concentration of power will be useful to protect the Prime Minister. He has insisted on a meeting more… suitable for peacetime, in my opinion.”
Thorson cocked a brow at South Dakota, who had fallen in beside him. Her opinion on the matter was concise. “As long as the location is defensible.”
“I guess we’ll know when we’re back above ground,” the Commander replied as his fleet walked onward under the guidance of the Royal Maids. With only the occasional tungsten bulb to light the way the long journey began to claw at the back of his mind after a time, bringing back the fears of every sailor stationed on a submarine, dying trapped far away from the sun.
“Commander, Laffey is sleepy and tired,” his first destroyer said what they were all thinking as he lost track of time.
“We are almost there. Patience,” Sheffield ordered in her dispassionate tone. True to the surly maid’s word, they soon felt more solid earth and eventually stone under their feet as they emerged into a well-stocked and well-lit cellar. Belfast held open the wooden door for them as kansen after kansen emerged from underground to find a smiling Prime Minister accompanied by Vampire and Leander.
“I was wondering where you’d gotten off to,” Thorson told the bat-like destroyer with a wink as he finally emerged. Other matters swiftly demanded his attention, however. “Laffey! That doesn’t belong to you!”
“Scotch, whiskey, cognac! Laffey has traveled half the world to find you, and now she will drink you. You are her spoils of war, yes yes. Commander would never deny Laffey this after she saved him many times, no no.”
The smile on Churchill’s face somehow managed to stretch further as he beheld the curious destroyer and reunited with Warspite and Elizabeth. “Now that is a rabbit after my own heart, Knight Commander Thorson! Lizzie, you look brighter than I’ve seen you in months. I take it the battle was won? I suppose I’d be in the back of one of Lady Belfast’s cars if not!”
Queen Elizabeth rolled her eyes at her ‘father’s’ jovial disposition, but did not deny his observation. “Let’s just say that Warspite seems to have accomplished her mission successfully. We should move forward with our negotiations, Father, tell him about the prisoner.”
Everyone’s ears seemed to perk up at those words, some kansen more literally than others. “Penny-san, we aren’t going to the dungeons, are we?” Yuudachi whimpered fearfully. “There’s so much booze and so little meat!”
“Pipe down, pup. You’re letting your imagination run wild,” the battleship pointed out as Churchill stepped in to prevent any further confusion.
“I understand you expected orders, Knight Commander, but there are circumstances that merit discussion first. I technically have the right to command you given the honor bestowed by Warspite, but I’d rather not step on the toes of Nimitz or Eisenhower, eh? As such, I’d ask you all to join me for a drink, a smoke, and some discussion in the courtyard.”
“No parties in exposed locations, Prime Minister,” Belfast interrupted politely. The portly man was unperturbed.
“The main hall it is!”
-----
The hall in question turned out to be the grandest room of Exeter Castle, and Thorson had to admit the wisdom of linking the Cathedral to such a location as his fleet settled in and all had their orders taken. He couldn’t help a smile at Akagi and Kaga as he passed them by on his way to sit with Churchill, the maids, and the QE-class battleships. The foxes seemed completely out of their element, surrounded by heavy stone and the fragrant scents of tobacco and grain-based alcohol. “Look at it as a learning experience, or ask if they have loose tobacco for your pipe?” he suggested as Hiryuu showed no such reservations. The exhausted, white-haired carrier had requested a flight and was sampling just about everything the castle had on offer to her sister’s horror and amazement.
“We will survive an hour or two surrounded by Royals while you conduct your diplomacy, Shikikan,” Akagi promised him as Kaga unrolled a cigar with careful precision before sniffing lightly at the filler.
Assurances given, Thorson strode forward and took a seat next to Warspite at the end of the grand dining table. Zed, Javelin, and Ayanami could be seen trying to pace Laffey several seats down. Churchill passed him a lit cigar and a crystal glass with a single ice cube and a small pour of some amber colored spirit. “The girls just filled me in on what happened at the docks and in the Cathedral, Knight Commander. Maybe I’ll have to have a beer with the Lord Bismarck too before the war is over? We live in interesting times.”
“I’m unable to disagree, Prime Minister. We’ve traveled a long way to speak with you,” Thorson replied tactfully, unsure of what to do with the cigar between his fingers. Warspite was happy to demonstrate with her own, and he couldn’t help but raise a brow at the blonde-haired woman as she blew a perfect ring of smoke into the air.
“And an eventful trip it no doubt has been,” Churchill said in reply before getting right to the heart of the matter. “I don’t know how much you’ve kept up with European politics lately, Knight Commander, but the war goes poorly in the east. The Soviets are crumbling under Ironblood combined arms and we need to take the heat off. The problem, as always, is with the damned Iris Orthodoxy. The south of the country and their holdings in North Africa continue to talk out of both sides of their mouths, claiming neutrality but allowing Ironblood troops freedom of movement. I’m sure you can imagine how a Royal invasion of North Africa would play out south of the Channel.”
“Not well, I would assume,” Thorson agreed. “Is this where I come in? A liberation of Africa by the Eagle Union instead of conquest by the Royal Navy?”
Churchill’s face wrinkled as he bit down on his cigar and smiled, giving a signal to Belfast who bowed and departed the hall. “Right on target, Thorson. You’ll have a Royal escort and rendezvous with your General Patton, who’s charged with leading the ground assault at Casablanca, one of three landing zones. I didn’t bring you here just for that, however. There is another matter. A naval matter.”
“Go on,” Thorson said as he leaned forward, intrigued at the Prime Minister’s tone. Churchill’s brow furrowed as he took a sip of cognac.
“The exiled forces of the Knights Templar, the Iris Libre. They have been trapped by the Ironblood and political intrigue between our nations, forced to scatter to the winds. Their champion, the kansen Richelieu, has been missing for over a year now along with much of the country’s gold. But the war must go on and we need every soldier we can find. They won't fight for me or my Lizzie-”
“Father!”
The exchange was interrupted by Belfast’s return, the tall maid leading a slim, blonde woman in manacles with long hair, armored boots, and a low-cut, pure white blouse accented by an overcoat of the deep, royal blue that had been associated with the Iris Orthodoxy since the medieval era. The look on her face was one of wariness as Thorson and Churchill stood. “Prime Minister, who is this?” he demanded.
“Knight Commander Thorson, this is Forbin of the Knights Templar. As of today, I am entrusting her to your command. You are about to embark on a crusade of great import. The time has long past for the knights of Iris to return to the battlefield. Belfast, you may remove her shackles. I daresay the Yanks have a better relationship with the Iris than we do. All the way back to Lafayette and the Revolution, no?”
If Belfast had any reservations about her orders she did not express them, silently unlocking the restraints and stepping back. After rubbing her wrists, Forbin looked at Thorson who bowed slightly. “It’s nice to meet you,” he offered in a neutral tone. She returned the gesture.
“If you deliver me away from this God-forsaken island, monsieur, the pleasure will be all mine.”
Far from being offended, Churchill seemed pleased at the exchange. “Then let me tell you all you need to know about Operation Torch and our ultimate target in North Africa, Tunis and its overlords, the Ugly Sisters.”

"troublepiggins" (@: [email protected] ) (Instagram: www.instagram.com/troublepiggins ) (Reddit: www.reddit.comtroublepiggins ) (TikTok: www.tiktok.com/@troublepiggins )
I posted in this group a little while ago with a different Reddit account before I decided to create a unified social media handle. I'd like to journal my experiences on Reddit and have it all located under this account, but I also don't want to delete the original post because it has some great information that I believe is beneficial for others. That being said, I would like to carry-over a lot of the same ideas into this post and re-discuss new ideas.
I have decided to ride my KLR650, Piggins, back to Utah where my van is currently located (The van's name is Marvan if anyone out there is wondering.) I'm not sure if this is one of the best ideas I've ever had or if I'm having a life crisis but it is happening.... at least as far as I can make it. It is an intimidating amount of miles and I'm admittedly a bit nervous. I have ridden mostly in the Florida Keys around traffic flowing from 20-60mph with the exception of a couple of Miami trips around 85mph traffic and now a couple Daytona and Tampa trips. I rode on the interstates a bit on my most recent trips, sticking mainly to the right lane. Piggins was handling the high speeds(70-85mph) surprisingly well; even with an oversized windscreen (idk what I was thinking 🤦), a pair of saddlebags and gear stacked up on the rear. At one point I realized that Piggins was doing about 90 so I rolled off a bit. Traffic around me was moving to say the least. That being said, I don't think I could comfortably rock interstate all day long but depending on where and what's going on for traffic I wouldn't mind banging out some decent stretches to shrink time. Time is money, and in this instance I'm thinking lunch money. The quicker I can crush the non-scenic, bland stuff, the more time and money I can dedicate to enjoying the spice(Dune reference) of the journey....or money towards repairs. 😅
I originally was thinking that I would like to stick to 100mi increments for refueling, but I think upon reassessment, 180mi would be more than safe and would cut way back on my slow down/speed up times for the journey. I don't mind stopping in between to get off the bike, stretch, bathroom etc., the 180mi. is only to make sure I'm fuel-safe. I will not be bringing a reserve gas can with me, so I need to remain aware of how far I am from a gas pump and consider variable mpg. Q: KLR650 owners, How many miles do you get do a full tank?
I have decided to do some filming along the way so I plan on traveling mostly during the day. I like the idea of getting a routine going of waking up early, doing some tai chi/stretching and drinking some coffee before getting the day rolling (🏍️ pun intended). That all being said, I know I will find myself in some places where I will just want to cook through as quickly as I can in order to jet to the next intended destination. Ya ya ya, I know....the journey is also the destination, but I am worried about money, so if I can crank out some decent mileage on the boring stretches I'd love to, and in doing so cut back on expenses that come with traveling for longer. Q's: Where are there no sights to see? Where is just entirely not worth it that I will still have to travel through?

There is a temptation to try to knock out some of the Trans America Trail but I don't think I have the skills for a lot of it. Especially not when weighted down. Q: • Are there any stretches that would be easy to explore that align with my journey? • Where along my routes are there reasonable stretches to try to accomplish at night? / Where is there truly nothing worth seeing? • What would be a reasonable amount for me to estimate I'll cover in a day? • I prefer to hammock camp but it seems like that is going to be a solid no-go for the most part in TX judging off of Google Maps. Am I wrong there • I was originally planning on refueling about every 100mi. I'm a little more comfortable stretching it to 180mi instead to cut down on my slow down/speed up times over the duration of the journey. For those that have KLR650s and have run them dry, what did you get mile-wise out of a full tank?
I had intended on leaving around May 14th-16th but have postponed that briefly to spend some more time with my dog who is starting to approach the rainbow bridge. It is looking like I will now be departing on either the 20th/21st or on the 26th/27th.
Bring list: • Riding gear (helmet, gloves, boots) • Paperwork (registration, insurance, license) • Wallet • Phone/chargecable • Towel (don't forget to bring a towel) • Sandals, • Camelback • Clothes • Pen/pencil/paper • Camera/charging cable/case • Shower kit (toothbrush/toothpaste, shower pouf/soap) • Medical kit (pain reducers, allergy meds, Pepto/Imodium, band aids, Neosporin, tourniquet, sewing needle/thread, gauze, wrapping tape) • Hammock/straps • Tarp/paracord/stakes • 2p Tent • Bug spray Q's: • Can anyone in the areas I am driving through let me know what is typical for weather around this time of year? I have Frogtoggs but not waterproof boots. • What would be some must haves in your pack for this trip? • I don't mind packing light clothing-wise but what's unreasonably light?) • Is a sleeping bag necessary? • Is a 2 person tent actually big enough for 2 people? I may be riding 2up after Denver. Usually I would scoop a 2p for myself alone.
I want to save money by bringing food but am not sure it's worth the trade off for occupying space. It would require me to bring a jet boil type of system, fuel, a pot and utensils. I mostly just want to save money on coffee in the mornings but would obviously carry more food with me to take advantage of a set-up if I had it with me. Q'S • Has anyone regretted bringing their cooking set-up? • Maybe cold, instant coffee would be the move instead?
I plan on taking photos and short videos along the way but would like to livestream some of the ride. I believe my camera is capable of it as long as my phone can hit 4G. Q's: • Does anyone have any experience with livestreaming?/Will TikTok be a viable way do it?
I'm pretty sure that I'll need to replace at least the rear tire about halfway through my journey. Recently bought a new pair before I left the Keys but I know rears burn through a bit quicker. I am riding on Shinko e705s. Which leads us into a discussion about tool kit/maintenance.
Repair kit • Klymer manual • Chain lubricant • 2x Clutch cables • Replacement clutch lever • Extra tubes • Tiire spoons/lubricant • 3,4,5,6,mm hex keys • Pliers • Duct tape, • Zip ties • WD-40 • 6,8,10,12,14,26mm sockets, • Breaker bar • Electrical kit (fuses, electrical wire, multimeter, connecting pieces, heat shrink tubing, scissors/wire strippers Q's: • Being that I don't have much money, how necessary is a battery jumper? • How do the CO2 tire chargers work? • Can I get by with a bicycle pump? • Anything crucial I'm slipping on?
Thank you for taking the time to read this post I greatly look forward to reading what y'all have to offer in the way of advice and knowledge. Wish me luck and ride safe out there, y'all!
Peace, love & Piggins ✌️💓🐽

As I wrapped up May’s "Things to Do" post, I told myself, “Okay, that was fun. I’m done now.”
And I was done. But then u/Beautiful_Ad_ asked for June. It always amazes me how tiny interactions can grow into full-blown undertakings. Apparently one brief message at the right time was the motivation I needed for one more month. So to you, internet stranger: I hope these help you plan your trip. What can I say; these are fun for me to make.
Every time I compile these lists, I wind up with a bunch of events that don't make the final cut. So for this month, I offer a few honorable mentions, separate from my list where I match exactly one event per day of the month:

• Tuesday, June 6 - Pageboy with Elliot Page (In-person book discussion, 7:00 pm, $52 includes signed book, The Town Hall, 123 W 43rd St, Manhattan)
• Thursday, June 8 - Uptown Night Market (Cuisine festival, 4:00 pm, Free entry, West 133rd St & 12th Ave, Manhattan)
• Saturday, June 17 - Tarja Turunen Living the Dream Tour (Finnish vocal heavy metal concert, 7:00 pm, $29+, Irving Plaza, 17 Irving Plaza, Manhattan)
• Saturday, June 17 - The 41st Annual Mermaid Parade (Art parade, 1:00 pm, Free, 1208 Surf Ave, Brooklyn)
• Friday, June 23 - New York Yankees vs, Texas Rangers Marvel Superhero Night (Major league baseball game with Derek Jeter Captain America bobblehead giveaway, 7:05pm, currently $26+ on SeatGeek, 1 E 161st St, The Bronx)

Before going anywhere, please confirm the date, time, and location using the listed website. Any event is at risk of being rescheduled, relocated, canceled, sold out, or at capacity. I try to vet quality, but I may misjudge, and heaven knows all events are not for all people. Some events require advance registration, and if you are visiting NYC, you should double-check how long it will take to get to the venue. Now on to the list!

If you can tell me what it sounds like when doves cry, I’ll add 2Ml to any decant.
Looking for the below list (Splits / partials / larger decants ok):
D&G Light Blue intense - this is the only Ulta / Sephora fragrance I’m interested in.
Niche Ambers (Specifically Bond no 9 Governors Island or MFK GS)
Xerjoff’s - 40 Knots, Torino 21 or 22 (maybe Ivory Road, Renaissance or Monkey)
BN9 - Scent of Peace for Her
Many by ATH (Hard Candy, Boss Bastard/Bitch, Jasmine Narcotic and Bois Eternal are extra points)

TF Cherry Smoke
Ganymede, Marc-Antoine Barrois
Tauer - L’ Air de Moroccan (EDP or extract)
A La Nuit by Serge Lutens
Other SL bangers
Mancera Sicily
OR Surprise me, I’ll probably say no, but you never know and I’ve got some weird crap on it’s way!
I’m good on Leather fragrance, and don’t like Oud heavy fragrances.
I generally like bright, sweet fragrances and amber fragrances

Hey everyone! As we're now in the final act of the event, I thought it would be a good time to take a look at the upcoming Shattered Dreams Mystery Box. The theme of the box is centered on World Travel.
As always, the box will only become available to you once you have completed the Event, or in 9 days once the Event officially ends. The box will then disappear right before the start of the next event.
This Mystery Box has a whopping 103 returning items! With so much returning content, I'd thought it be helpful to give some perspective on the rarity of the items that appear, considering that many of you may consider buying Tokens from the store for real money.
The ranking system that I used for each item is completely subjective, and is merely a tool to help people decide if they want to use their tokens going for certain items in the box! (I used the TSTO wiki for all information, so sorry in advance if there's a mistake somewhere). To help save tokens, it may be worthwhile to try clearing certain items out of the Yearbook before attempting to buy from this box.

NOTE: Items listed with a ____ Mystery Box tag are referring to items that have appeared in past Black Friday events, and are highly likely to appear in that same type of box in the upcoming Black Friday event this November. All of these mystery boxes can be purchased for donuts, **except*\* for the Gold Mystery Box which requires actual money to buy tokens for. (Therefore it might be valuable to get these characters now for tokens that will appear later on for real cash).

I am planning a trip to LA for the fall for my husband (35m) and I (33f). We are frugal and not fussy, but we have money to splurge here and there. Itinerary is at the bottom of this post.
Could we get away with Ubers/public transport for day 1-4? Or should we really rent a car? We use public transport (trains/busses) at home (Philly/nyc) but I know it isn’t the easiest in LA.
If we rent a car, what is parking like for the activities listed below?
And where should we stay? Looking for specific hotel/Airbnb/etc recs and/or neighborhood recs.
I imagine we will stay closer to downtown for day 1-4 and then move to beachy accommodations for days 5-6.
Any other recommendations are welcome!
Here’s the itinerary I have planned out (a few things could still be swapped around; I’m flexible):
Fly Saturday
Day 1 Sunday - Sunday flea market (pcc or rose bowl)
Day 2 Monday - Hollywood Sign/Hollywood Walk of Fame/Chinese Theatestar homes/etc (maybe just pay for a cheesy tour so this is very relaxed) - Academy of motion pictures museum - Griffith Observatory
Day 3 Tuesday - WB Studio Tour - Olvera St & LA Union Station - Grand Central Market - LA Conservancy Walking Tour
Day 4 Wednesday - Universal Studios Theme Park
Day 5 & 6 Thursday & Friday - Take a drive on the PCH - Santa Monica Pier - Other beach stuff, relaxing by the ocean, tide pools, beautiful scenery - go with the wind (open to recs!)
Fly home Saturday
I’ll be getting these in somewhere too as we go: - Mexican Food - Sourdough Bread (the ne, where I live, doesn’t do it like the west) - Seafood - Sushi (sugarfish?) - CA style Pizza? - Comedy - Drag - in n out

Below is a list of places to look for wastewater data in every state plus a couple of territories.
Things to consider:

1. If you don’t know how to read data and charts, I recommend learning about data analysis and statistics. If you’re not sure where to start, Khan Academy has some great lessons here: https://www.khanacademy.org/math/statistics-probability
2. You *cannot* compare the numbers of different cities to each other unless you know for sure that they are using the same sampling method and analysis. For example, in my state of North Carolina, the state does testing and the CDC does testing. They use two different methods. You cannot compare the numbers of the state sites to the CDC sites.
3. Many states report to the CDC and do not provide their own data visualization. The CDC’s data visualization of wastewater is not great.
4. It’s best to view most of these on a desktop browser instead of mobile.
5. Almost all data is delayed by at least 1-3 weeks
6. Many wastewater data pages will also post case counts. With enough historical data, this can be useful for correlating wastewater to low transmission levels during times when testing was high. But just make sure you know what data you’re reading.
7. A million viral gene copies per person sounds like a lot. But, for example, again in North Carolina, 1 million gene copies per person is actually correlated with extremely low transmission back during the times when people were testing. So, know what the data is telling you.

If you know of data that I’m missing, please post in the comments and I’ll add it to the list.
