Online gaming has never been a safe space, and chess is no exception. It’s a game of war: show your opponent who’s boss, get chat banned, live to chat again. -Jack
Pretty sick, went with a friend and it was very funny. $14 Movie Theater IPAs were hitting in a fantastic way. Then we went to see the second half of the Knicks game in some dive in the Village. It was a great time, stumbled on the escalator in front of strangers.

I have another indie theater that I prefer because it’s cozier, has better vibes, is much closer to me, and everybody who works there is genuinely passionate about film. It’s not really anything special visually but it’s a beautiful institution and it’s so fun to be there ❤️
But this one is an old art deco theatre designed by architect John Eberson (he designed Loew’s Paradise in the Bronx and the Paradise Theatre in Chicago)! It’s pretty run down/poorly managed and staffed but it’s a gorgeous building and definitely worth visiting. Not my photos but included for illustrative purposes!!
Something fun I learned while on a rock climbing trip in Kentucky. Best done outside in the cold, but you could also do it in your kitchen. Lay a paper towel on tinned fish in oil, let it soak up the oil, and light it on fire from the edges. Let it burn for 5-10 minutes, warm your hands, revel, enjoy community, lift the paper towel off, and enjoy smoked fish. -Jack
