DFRC Clack and Base 3 Days until Baltimore and my last base run is over. Felt fine, even though I started at 65F, 20+ degrees higher than they’re forecasting for Saturday. Off tomorrow, then sprinting shakeout Friday unless my watch decides to be cool

Gasoline has a fairly short shelf life. It’s gonna last a few months in a car before starting to break down, maybe a couple years with the right additives in a storage tank. When someone in a post apocalyptic world siphons from an overgrown highway, they siphon LIES!!!

I go to the gym three times a week. I’d say somewhere between a third and a half of the crowd, all genders, wear tight clothes of some kind. And they generally either look miserable or kinda mad. That’s how I categorize gym folk: mad or miserable. I’m a miserable.

Obviously they raided Rep. Omar’s house to try and swing the vote, I’m sure, but how does that not help her? Her supporters will probably be energized by it, her detractors weren’t gonna vote for her anyway, and anyone who was “on the fence” either wasnt really, or might see the obvious Fed scam.

Maybe people don’t like Digger because it’s uncomfortable to see Cruise looking his actual age.

When I was a freshman in college (2000) they twice made every guy living in the dorms watch videos about what rape was and why it was bad. At the time it felt deeply insulting. “Who would fucking do these things”, we would ask. The next 25 years made it all too clear.

DFRC 8 Days Until Bmore Sprint 7x:10 @ All Out (that’s what it said) 6:49,6:54, 6:59, 7:02, 7:12, 7:14, 7:37 not in that order. 54-60F Back after a needed day off to start my taper, did a good job today I think.

There’s something amazingly disingenuous about college coaches who recruited dozens of players through the old system of under the table payments complaining that players are getting paid now.

Sometimes I turn up anime because I can’t hear the words. The words that I don’t understand.

I’m only in Act 2 of E-Day, but it’s making it seem like the Locust attacked too soon. The post war depression doesn’t seem to have fully set in yet, and too much of the military is still combat ready. There could be more involved later on, but a few more months might’ve helped them.

The acid spitters in E Day sound so much like a cat gacking that I want to see a pic of the cat they used as the audio source

The really great thing about watching a show with my wife is that I can sometimes hear the show over her and the dog snoring. (Not really, I can’t)

This commercial for the LA lava disaster 911 show is the dumbest fucking TV show premise I’ve seen in a long time.

000

Brian “Rip McStudly” Porter @ripmcstudly.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

And this fucking “reborn saint” anime is a “special sailor got betrayed” show too. It speaks to the perceived anger within your potential fans that you create works premised on betrayal.

It’s kind of silly that I’ve run 42k a few times, 21k maybe two dozen times, but the 17th will be the first time I ever race 10k.

“I was the real special wittle fellow but they fired me so I rebelled” is a pretty uniformly awful genre.

Playing Baby’s First Diablo part 2 (because Gears comes out at 11). Picked up a weapon called the fighter’s flute. Description says that playing it ups crit chance for fighters “of note”. Gonna go drive my head through the wall.

DFRC 11 Days Until Bmore Threshold 21min @ 162 5:30 in range 5K in 40 despite about 4 minutes walking 49-53F Good effort today, I think. 1.66 in 21 minutes of threshold is a good bit less than the 2mi it should’ve been but I’ll accept it as growth.

DFRC 12 Days Until Bmore Clack and Base 1:02 @ 137 4.53 in 60, 4.67 at 1:02 60-62F, sunny with breeze A great run today! I had a sub 12 first mile, and put together multiple long segments in the 12 neighborhood, while managing my heart rate. This can be a model going forward.

No, Garmin, I was not balancing with 920 pounds. Although I’m sure that weight would lock in my position.

Lanterns ended pretty well, I think. I don’t look forward to the vitriol from the dedicated haters though.

The Belmont’s Curse demo is pretty good, but I’m worried about how much parkour there might be in it. I don’t care for these Metroidvanias that try to be Celeste. I wanna fight.

DFRC 14 Days Until Bmore Long 1:58 @ 137 10K in 1:25:24 8.11 1:58:05 58-60F, light sprinkles throughout Ideally, I’d do a 10K ten minutes faster on a regular Saturday run, but with all of the crap this year (my abs and back are still issues) I’ll take it.

I guess a certain portion of the internet is obsessed with a gender swapped Malfoy. Now, you might find that interesting, considering the awfulness of Rowling on the subject. But they’ve named this swap “Malfoid”, tapping into a super vile slang for women. Very…interesting.

Unless something wild happens between now and New Years, I’ve recorded both of those year’s temperature extremes. 92 on the high side, and -8 on the low, making for a 100 degree spread.

DFRC 15 Days Until Bmore Clack and Sprint 7x2min @ 174 30 seconds in range 65-70F, humidity above 85 What a bitch of a run. 7 2min sprints at full send with one minute rests in between. My heart rate barely recovered to the recommended in the first rest. By the last, it remained above threshold

Whenever I see some YouTube guy I’ve never heard of get outed as a sex pest (a disturbingly common thing) I’m torn between hoping the few people I follow aren’t that way, and the grimmer thought that if they are, I want it to come out.

I’ve only ever written one “horror” story. It was about the terrible consequences of a chemical spill back when I was working at a KFC.maybe I should redo it, since it’s been 30 years.

DFRC 17 Days Until Bmore Clack and Base 36min @ 136 4.3mi one hour 65-66 humid and dark Again, I was tired, but I endured. Could’ve kept jogging after but they were mowing in the neighborhood and I didn’t feel like dodging them.

DFRC 18 Days Until Bmore VO Max 4x4min @ 174bpm Maybe ten seconds in range 5.3 1:20 63-65F I did NOT have it today. I can’t blame the temp, I was just exhausted. Unfortunately I can’t say why I was so tired.

DFRC 19 Days Until Bmore Clack and Sprints 2x3 @ max 59-60F, humid as mid summer. Didn’t do bad on the sprints, all between 7:30 and 8, and didn’t hurt myself anew at the gym. Absolute win? Some are saying I’m a fat turd who doesn’t deserve those. And they’re right.

DFRC 22Days to Bmore Anaerobic 2x5 :40 full send 8-9:30 per segment 47-50F, winds in teens. Honestly a really good run today, been a while since I could flat out cheese it. As a result, my elbows and arms ache.
