One episode it was just Doug and Sarah and they were like btw Aaron isn’t on the podcast anymore, we wish him the best. Didn’t even get a send off episode. And the pod has been significantly less good since then

This is hilarious from a league that enforces approx 3% of its own rule book on anything resembling a consistent basis

The next front in The War on Cars: car reduction strategies. It's not enough to just add bike lanes and pedestrian space. Cities have to actively reduce the amount of cars that flood their streets. A lot of that can be done by going after parking.

Squats I’m most proud of recently were 190 3x5 which is one of the hardest physical things I have ever done, 200 3,3,2 wish I at least tried the last rep, but this was pretty cool

This album is not very good imo, but I am obsessed with this song. Kind of uncouth of him to drag his ex wife like this though

Last two PR singles have been increasingly easy, alternating a heavy rack pull and deadlift single in two weeks. Could probably get to three plates like this, but switching to Advanced programming instead to hit three plates for a triple by the end of the year

Squat single PRs are cool, but feel anticlimactic, especially after doing a 95% warm up rep. 3x5 PR, now that it’s getting heavy, is like holy shit I can’t believe I did that

Free ticket contests in the @septaphilly.bsky.social email newsletter are back! 🙌 They used to offer free tix to the Phillies, Sixers, Flyers, etc every week but it feels like that’s been missing recently. I’ve been to a number of games for free courtesy of SEPTA.

You know, it's funny. I read this (really good) article at The Ringer on Clark a few weeks ago, and the Michkov parallels to me were striking. It's really a great piece on this whole social media/content phenomenon as it pertains to sports these days: www.theringer.com/2026/05/25/w...

Out on a run and came across a couple having a break up. The woman yelled that the guy cared more about “his YouTube videos” than her. Fully expected it to be some Andrew Tate shit until he sheepishly said “trains mean so much to me but you’ve never understood that”

Not gonna lie I was a little disappointed compared to the last album considering Aaron Dessner produced it and how much I was looking forward to it, but very good album nevertheless. Have you listened to the new Widowspeak? I’m obsessed

Great day to get out and go for a drive to the lake.
Car that decided to drive down one of the stairways at Lake Harriet for some reason. It made it all the way from the street past the bike path but then got stuck in the railings before making it all the way down to the pedestrian path.

Due to Algorithm and Phone I often won’t listen to an album from an artist I like until months or years after it has come out, but since I’ve wanted to see Liam Kazar for a while, and he’s opening for Kevin Morby next week, I finally listened to this and it is excellent

The imperial core has gained $15 trillion through exorbitant privilege since 1970, getting higher returns on foreign assets than what they pay on foreign debt. This privilege is financed by transfers from the global South, outstripping aid flows many times over.

Press was stuck at 2-3 singles at 100. Two weeks ago discovered the concept of pushing through the bounce and got 4. Last week hurt my shoulder reaching to put away a 1.25lb plate and took a week off. Yesterday hit 8 singles easy. Adding weight for the first time in two months next week

Strength is so crazy. Last week I could only get 285 a few inches off the ground in three 5-second attempts. Did rack pulls from knee height for the first time and this week it flew off the ground and my beautiful deadlift progress graph continues uninterrupted

Black text on a white page that reads:

I am devastated by the loss of a 
9-year-old boy struck this morning while crossing the street in Williamsburg. 

My heart is with his family and loved ones as they endure this tragic loss. 

Children should be safe walking around our city, and this horrific road death is a painful reminder that we must continue to use every tool available to make our streets safe for all New Yorkers.
