Luke Hughes set the Devils record for most points in a season by a rookie defenseman with forty five points (and counting).

i forget what episode it is but that scene where wilson threatens to dump house “somewhere near allentown.” as someone who grew up in the mid atlantic im crying imagining house waking up on the side of the road in bumfuck pennsylvania in the vague allentown area. wakes up to fucking gunshots (because there’s shooting ranges up there for deer hunting and shit) startled as hell. no one wants to wake up somewhere near fucking allentown, i’m DYING

I think the wildest thing about last nights Chicago Blackhawks vs New Jersey Devils game is that there were so many fights and so much physicality and you know who injures Jack Hughes and takes him out the game …

Jack Hughes.

Industrial Arts Impact Wrench Hazy Triple IPA (Picked up at Circle Liquor in Somers Point, NJ). A 4 of 4. As you'd expect, this is just bursting with tropical fruit and orange citrus and varied other hop notes in the nose. The body is incredibly well balanced despite it being 10% -- there's a lot of juicy sweetness but also some grain notes behind it, and a firm bitterness alongside the booze towards the finish.

ARMYs are really just burnt out and I don’t think the rapid fire pace of releases has helped anything. It’s amazing as a fan to get all this music, but the expectation to chart everything I think is unrealistic and kind of overwhelming. People just don’t have that kind of time, energy, or money to go all out for every comeback when they happen every other month, sometimes several in a single month. It especially doesn’t help if ARMYs aren’t feeling the song, and I don’t think they’ve felt quite a bit of CH2 music.

I have longer thoughts on all this, but I just have so much annoyance towards some chart ARMYs and their unrealistic expectations and their refusal to acknowledge that the current organized fandom streaming power isn’t what they think it is. Another big wave of HL victimization (but sometimes TH is also included??) from ARMYs and it just opened the doors for so much resentment and hatred to be thrown towards jkk but especially Jimin. It was really disturbing to go and block these people & find I had 5-10+ moots following each time. It’s really out of control.

I’m just tired of this RL discourse while they ignore the twenty elephants in the room that explain why the streams are where they are (and no it’s not because “ARMYS hate RL”.). Instead they just throw these tantrums that further divide an already deteriorating and toxic fandom. I don’t know what it will take for them to understand that a fandom that doubled with Dynamite is going to prefer pop music, and that the majority of ARMYs are in fact not zombie streamers but fans who casually listen to the music that appeals to them. Not to mention the fact that a lot of ARMYs aren’t even active right now, so many of them have been dropping off and waiting for BTS to return as a group.

It really just keeps getting worse and worse in ARMY spaces. I’m pretty sure active ARMYs are about 90% diet solos at this point. It’s extremely messed up what a lot of them can get away with saying and not get canceled or called out for. It’s also just this hyper-fixation on drama, shooter accounts, NewJean’s, MHJ, raging against whatever fandom approved villain of the month, trending pointless hashtags for random reasons, and then being shady and resentful because of these arbitrary goals they set that are often influenced by using Jimin as a goalpost.

Productivity

ENTJ: Do you know those moments when you’ve got so much to do that you have no idea where to even start and so you start making a list of things that are too unimportant to waste your time on right now? But at the same time you’re wasting time by not working on the things that actually are important. You’re just making lists of all the tiny aspects of your work that you can throw out just to make yourself feel like you’re doing something.

INFJ: No, I don’t know those moments. I’m less productive, you see. When I’m overwhelmed by all the stuff I have to do, I panic and stare at the wall for three hours.

ENTJ: You’ve been doing that a lot lately, haven’t you?

INFJ: ... yes.

Industrial Arts Wrench Hazy IPA (Picked up at Circle Liquor in Somers Point, NJ). A 3 of 4. A really good and solid hazy IPA with quite a lot of pineapple and citrus and other tropical fruit. The body is hefty but not overly so, and has a bit of nice juiciness to it, with the fruit lingering on your palate.
