last workout of 2026

As far as I can tell this article is just bragging about having the president’s phone number? Trump appears to have said nothing of substance in response to the questions. So the only real result is making sure people know the reporter is well connected? www.nytimes.com/2026/01/03/i...

A question I think about often is the Las Culturistas standing question of “what was the culture that made you feel culture was for you?” and not enough people left have “thinking the Iraq War was stupid” as one of their answers, imho.

This is embarrassing

This will not be simple. It will be chaotic and messy or it will require boots on the ground (likely both).

This illegal regime change will massively destabilize the region, sow chaos, and haunt us for years vs no it won’t

I don’t think Trump knows that Venezuela’s oil is mostly trash and no one wants it

You don't have to listen to these professional liars who are barely trying. 9 months ago they were saying they were powerless to return a man they illegally sent to an El Salvador gulag because it would violate that country's national sovereignty

This war is unnecessary and illegal. It risks American lives, will destabilize the region, and won’t meaningfully impact the drug trade (Venezuelan coke mostly ends up in Europe). Also, Trump be impeached for failing to get congressional authorization.

Every time the press credulously repeats that "grok" accidentally posted child porn or "grok" is trying to fix it", I think of a line from an IMB corporate training manual in the 70s: "A computer can never be held accountable, therefore a computer must never make a management decision".

The casino aesthetic very much fits with the “what a poor person thinks a rich person lives like” energy that Trump has been delivering for the past decade.

This 76 page long slide deck about Curtis Sliwa lore is detailed and fascinating. I thought I knew it all, but I didn't know half: docs.google.com/presentation...

the most important book I own: a signed first edition copy of Teresa Giudice's cookbook

When will JD Vance denounce Curtis “only Hitler spoke the truth” Yarvin

Exclusive: As signs of aging emerge, President Trump is responding with defiance. He tells WSJ he has eschewed some advice from his doctors and relies on his "good genetics."

last workout of 2026

I need a cozy New England mystery about the detective hired to solve this case. He's a hard charging corporate investigator who teams up with a small town grandma/cop and they both teach each other new tricks. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Get your flu shot! The people I know who caught the flu this year universally said it's an awful one.

Heated Rivalry was good but we can't let it help tuna melts make a comeback. Disgusting food, barely edible. Don't romanticize it.

my 2026 resolution is to be a star hockey player in a sexually tense back and forth with a rival and have our eyes meet from across the dance floor of a club while “all the things she says” plays in the background

Republicans are spiking health insurance premiums for millions so they can pay for their billionaires tax cuts. www.cnn.com/2025/12/27/p...

So glad to see this written about. It takes 4 - 6 (or more!) human labor hours of editing, mixing and mastering to make a 90 minute conversation flow nicely and artfully. Video-forward shows tend to excise this process entirely and the resultant conversations flow and sound like shit as a result.

The secret of our show is pace and polish. I edit heavily on a tight turnaround and video simply isn't possible. You can't cut as tightly. Regular sound cuts would become jump cuts. Wrangling 3-7 video tracks on top of everything, and being constrained to sync and fps would result in a worse show

One of my 2025 New Year’s resolutions was to fully clean out my front closet and unfortunately we’re now at the point where I have to actually do that. Yell at me if I haven’t replied to this tweet to confirm that it’s done by 1/1/2026

Movies should come with a warning if they’re surprisingly horny so that you don’t accidentally watch them with your parents [this is about the first five minutes of One Battle After Another]

Random stranger complimented my shoes, day is salvaged (entire year is salvaged?)

Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra, of course, were sons of poor immigrants

One reading of the male loneliness crisis is “I did objectively horrible things and people stopped being nice to me” To be sure, phones and covid are a much larger part of the story. But for some segment of the populace…

It’s lowkey fucked up that Hunter didn’t get Kip a ticket to the MVP ceremony thing

Shane saying his parents would probably be fine with it but also still being too lazy to tell them he’s gay is such important representation.

Ten minutes into having my parents’ neighbor over for Christmas and he’s already made a crazy comment worrying about Somali immigration to their town. Thanks Fox News!

How does he keep doing it??? [undergoing surgery twice a week every week]

Annual holiday tradition: my mother lays out little bowls of candy on Christmas but then gets annoyed if anyone grazes from them, sniping “don’t ruin your appetite before dinner”

Merry Christmas!
