Welcome to the 06/23/2024 Episode of Nick’s News!
Let’s talk about some things behind the scenes first…
News Brew:
"Barrel-Aged Red Velvet Cake" by Untitled Art! A 17.5% ABV (HIGH OCTANE) Pastry Stout with beet juice concentrate for color?! Untitled Art, you crazy SOB’s!
Shout-Outs:
I’m not going to stop plugging Fox & Hen Winery in Grand Haven, MI. Seriously. If you want some good wine or cider swing by Fridays and Saturdays. You’ll even find me there on Friday afternoons!
A huge thank you to our producer, Donna Day, and our incredible graphic artist, Grayson from Graphics by Ashford, for our new countdown and credits pages!!! Look at this! Some Budget Studios is getting better and better!!!
To everyone, a happy Pride Month, and a happy Juneteenth. I encourage everyone, if you aren’t fully aware, educate yourselves regarding these important events. The history of them, the reason for their celebration, so we may all better understand their importance to so many.
News Quote:
“'Kindness' covers all of my political beliefs. No need to spell them out. I believe that if, at the end, according to our abilities, we have done something to make others a little happier, and something to make ourselves a little happier, that is about the best we can do. To make others less happy is a crime. To make ourselves unhappy is where all crime starts. We must try to contribute joy to the world. That is true no matter what our problems, our health, our circumstances. We must try. I didn't always know this and am happy I lived long enough to find it out.”
-Roger Joseph Ebert, American film critic, film historian, journalist, essayist, screenwriter, and author
Bug Update:
Sad news, but not unexpected. Annie, our beloved Orb Weaver has passed away. She lived a long and productive life, surviving the harshness of my workplace and finding a good home. She will be missed. All else is quiet, and moving along. What can I do to shake things up…
