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

Is it awkward when they lie to your face like that?

I would’ve been a successful author, not a guy whose books sell sometimes as many as 20 copies.

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.

I try not to dose off during cleanings. It’s somehow pretty chill to me. But my wife (15 years as a hygienist) says anxiety is way more common.

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.

I’ve never seen it in a race myself, but I did see a girl slip in horse crap a mile into a half marathon once.

My wife gave me every update on that for two gross weeks.

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

Are there any tech details on the upside down butt camera? Was it a manned rig? Possibly with a guy sitting on a rolling stool, slowly sliding from butt to butt? Or was it a stationary rig, that the dancers had to go line up for in order to get their upside down butt close up?

I shall throw a party, confident in the knowledge that the absolute worst party I could throw will not be as awful as the party in this movie.

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.

I’m going with Judas Priest’s cover of Diamonds and Rust.

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.

Is she the one who can explain what the antagonists plan was?

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.

I want to add that Minecraft Dungeons 2 isn’t really “baby’s first Diablo” it just looks like it. If anything, it requires a bit more attention than its youngest fans might be capable of. You can’t spam heal or dodge and you get rushed a lot.

Brian “Rip McStudly” Porter @ripmcstudly.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

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.

1968’s Night of the Living Dead Only Duane Jones. Janice as Barbra. Scooter as her brother. Fozzie and Piggy as Harry and Helen. Pepe as the daughter. Gonzo and Camilla as Tom and Judy. Rizzo as the iconic first zombie. The reporter plays the reporter. Kermit as the sheriff who kills the survivor.

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.

Our “Main Street” area lost both of its long time, beloved restaurants because they couldn’t afford hiked lease rates in the last few years. One’s been vacant for about two years, the other going on five.

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.
