Even though I've managed to corral my diet and be more intentional with my workouts... once my schedule gets disrupted or I get stressed (or both), my sweet tooth rears it's head, throws chaos into my diet, and hurts any workouts I do get in. Getting back on track is so so so hard, but I gotta try

The first Nobody was a welcome fun surprise. The sequel felt like a direct to streaming affair with just enough budget to make it be moderately engaging. Some fun action & an R-rated Home Alone-esque climax keep it watchable. app.trakt.tv/movies/nobod...

It feels so good to have Wolves basketball back on tv. Well, on DAZN, I guess. So far it seems like an infinitely better platform than the trash pile that was FanDuel.

I listened to a lot of stuff this week that I really wasn't that jazzed on. None of these really wowed me, unfortunately. Pain of Truth might end up a gym jam (and maybe Spoiler too), but everything else was mediocre at best. (Oh, and should note the Tom Morello album suuuuucks)

Book 26: Klara & the Sun WTF even was this book? Most advanced AI presents as infantilized, sun is "magical", the teeth removed from the final section of story, no deep exploration of some pretty heady topics. I did not enjoy it, unfortunately. #booksky www.goodreads.com/book/show/54...

Realizing this morning that I have a child who is NINE years old really threw me. There's no way I've been a parent for that long already, is there? Suddenly I feel much older than I usually do. That being said, my kids are pretty kick ass & likely the reason I still feel young most days.

Happy to look at my fitness apps and see that I've consistently been shaving off weight (in general) and being able to maintain (even build!) muscle mass while shedding excess fat weight. I still want to get under 200 lbs if possible, which looks attainable, and hopefully soon-ish!

In the spring I had a number of soft tissue injuries that limited my training & I had some fits & starts with managing my diet when I wasn't able to train as hard as usual (or at all for small periods of time). I was frustrated with how things were going, but mid-summer I "locked in" and focused.

Listening to a podcast, chatting with folks at work, making conversation in slack, & obviously any interaction on linkedin...discussions about any idea triggers, within moments, talk of how it could be a business opportunity.

The talk around how AI makes things easier & quicker usually centers around how that's a good thing... but I keep seeing more & more scenarios where it makes scamming simpler & simpler, designating more industries as targets for fuckery. And the platforms don't care. www.404media.co/spotify-ai-m...

Fall has always been my favorite season. Perfect temps, the start of spooky season, football, ultimate...so much I love. But the last couple years it's also felt lonelier. The incoming cold cut a tad deeper. Melancholy, the norm. I don't wanna fall out of love with autumn.....

This was fine. Felt very much like the old "made for tv" movies of old. Lower budget and production values (with most of it tied up in the final action scene). Nothing too new, other than the odd twist in a standard gangster premise. Entertaining to a point. app.trakt.tv/movies/mike-...

Blame GLP-1s. Since people end up not needing to each as much, they need calorie dense food high in protein so they don't lose muscle along with fat. I'm on a light dose to silence food noise and my diet has shifted to basically just protein & fiber. My meals are so fucking weird nowadays 😅

Three of these albums are absolute bangers: 156/Silence, Gradience, and Movements. Each is the best work the band has yet put out. That Mastodon album... I'm torn. I think it's a great album, but the more I listen to it, I'm not sure I'm connecting to their style of music any longer.

While dropping the kids off at school this morning, at a stoplight next to me were two middle-aged dudes consumed in a haze of smoke inside their car, grinning, while hotboxing away the morning, obviously living their best lives. I wish I had the grins they did at 8:00 am in the morning.

These look like the bullshit "customizable" jerseys that Temu is constantly tossing at me in ads. The only real difference I see is these will probably cost like 80 bucks or whatever and the [demonstratively better] Temu jerseys are like $3.89.
