Whoa! :o

Glute med barked at me during last set of barbell RDLs. Again. Bf fuck me, I guess. Sigh. Weightlifting as a 40-something is usually awesome and I always recommend it, but sometimes it is uncomfortable and lonely work. Welp. I know the drill. Nothing new here. REHAB TIME! 😤 💪🏻 😭

IT-themed drag names: Fibré Chanel (“FEE-bruh cha-NELL”) and Envy Lake. @ryan.doesthings.online thinks I’m a fool, but I think once people get onboard the Sassy Driver train, he’ll come around to my way of thinking. 🙂‍↕️ 🙂‍↕️

My 90 day journey to becoming Architect-level competent at #MicrosoftFabric officially started this evening with good ol’ Mr. Seville, a whole lot of MS Architecture Hub and Learn browsing, and my first looks at the TF provider docs. There’s so much 🔥😵‍💫🔥

Got to try new (for my #garagegym experience) leg movements tonight: single leg extensions using a kettlebell, and single leg lying hamstring curls using my functional trainer! Both took some figuring out, but both ultimately hit where I expected them too. New tools in the tool chest babyyyyy! 💪🏻

This is a smart read! :)

Yall I don't know what to do about how fucking amazing this song is. D: www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ZKy...

The tension that arises between objectively healthy social interactions with loved ones and the objectively healthy benefits of regular, consistent diet and fitness routine must have some cool esoteric name, right? Like some single German word that’s 7000 syllables long? Cuz wow is it common 🫣

Whole bunch of #weightlifting #garagegym goodies arrived today! New INOV8 cross trainers, an additional set of IronMaster adjustable dumbbells (those two on the top, freshly oiled!), and the star of the show: a new Ivanko EZ curl bar. The IronMaster DB/KB cart is due to arrive tomorrow. 👏 🥳

Martin Short’s character notwithstanding, every part of #TreasurePlanet holds up. And that’s despite the 90’s mom, the early 2000’s protag and sound track, etc. It’s truly a delightful movie with compelling action and stories, and it’s delicious to watch on a bit TV with proper sound. ✨ 🤗

This week's @thisweekinvideogames.com @skillup.bsky.social episode drew my attention to a cool new 'zine trying to get off the ground: @continuemag.bsky.social Hoping for success for these folks! We need more, better games journalism, and this looks beautiful and cool! :)

This looks fun as hell!

Seriously the more I look at, think about, and play this game, the more I am convinced I need to add it to my video game-themed leg sleeve tattoo. Maybe it will feature Lucius! 💀 🦴 🦴 🦴 💥

Not enough people talk about the dope ass Skeleton mercenary you can hire in #Absolum up in Yeldrim. “I crave luxury and violence!” “Pay me, and I shall shatter peace with you!” I basically hire him every time because goddamn how can I deny him what he craves!? (also /ht to the voice actor)

Treasure Planet #tattoo sesh #2 is tomorrow morning! 👏 🥳 I’ve already gotten so many compliments on the piece even as just line work. I’m stoked to see this thing fill out with color :3

So @tinanguyen.bsky.social has spent weeks trying to identify the person at DHS who posts all the racist memes, and instead uncovered a fascinating code of silence: everyone in Trump's Washington knows who it is, but refuses to say. Gift link! -> www.theverge.com/column/89298...

Extraction shooters are still not what I’d call “my jam,” but I’ve enjoyed my time in Marathon despite myself, and I know very directly how much work and heart went into it. It’s fun, gunplay is awesome, look and feel and overall vibe are super cool! More people should try it! :)

1000000000%

Sunderfolk was a blast to play through with friends. Big updates! May be a good time to fire It up again :3 #gaming #gaymer #pcgaming

“sloppelganger” 😂

I’m irrationally excited about adding this beauty to the garage gym! My gym brand family expands! 👏 #weightlifting #gayswholift ivankobarbell.com/products/obz...

Probably late to this, but Fakham Hall is delightful and a silly little treasure of a movie. That is all. #movies

I realize this isn’t the messaging anyone wants, but it’s weird to me how dudes in the gyms I visit who have the most asshole shirts on are the ones who lift like shit (form and weight), sit on machines for hours doing nothing, and offer unsolicited (bad) commentary on others’ lifts. Like… bruh lol

:O

I … 🤔… wat

I’m sure it doesn’t mean anything, but I’m bemused at how hoppin the Democratic Primary room at my voting location was this morning contrasted with the downright sleepy Republican one. #votetexas

Over-indexing on competitive play continues to be a huge gamble, it seems. 😬

It makes me nervous to think too hard about it, but I think I’m officially burnt out on barbell RDLs. I’ve been slowly burning out in all my old powerlifting favorites over the last year-ish, and these guys were the last holdouts. But they just aren’t fun anymore, and I dread doing them. 🥺 #workout

Why do I want the post-Trump national anthem to be Demi Lovato’s “Sorry to Myself”?

Games like @marathonthegame.bungie.net make me wish I “get it.” It’s so stylish and has so much cool stuff in it, but man does it feel bad to my brain to play. There are so many of these games trying to get made, and I bounce off so many. It’s starting to give me a complex. Am I the broken one?? :/

So, @marathonthegame.bungie.net is SO stylish, so deliciously committed to a bit, has excellent gun play, awesome audio, really cool initial world building, smooth (if virtually noisy) UI, and has beg technically flawless in little time I’ve gotten to play. But… oof… extraction shooters...😬 #gaymer

Discovered this banger while doing travel workouts this last week and boy howdy is it swell! Def a new favorite in the workout rotation 🙂‍↕️ 🎶 💪🏻

Lower body #weightlifting #workout tonight, folks! For those who participate, may thy reps be to depth, thy PRs flow freely, and thy pumps be righteous. 💪 🔥 🍑 #gayswholift

I had the grim realization this evening after seeing a new video on #CamelotUnchained YT channel that the spectacle that has been the #AshesOfCreation implosion is that the only other one left I was keeping even a casual eye on was CU, *another* 13ish year old Kickstarter #MMORPG. /sigh

Me thinking I’m gonna do a quick form check video and noticing how winter-chubs I look and none of my peeps told me wtf yall #gayswholift #workout #weightlifting

Pre-travel #weightlifting is about to commence! I’m gonna have to scale the rows - last week I managed to overdo it on my left forearm. :/ BUT… it’ll be good to combine some upper and lower body: lower to make up for missing yesterday, upper for today’s normal pattern. Let’s goooo! 💪🏻 🍑 #gayswholift

Yall #NoRestForTheWicked is ruining my sleep routine 😩 but it’s so lush and chonky and beautiful and I love it 🥰. Moon Studio’s got another gem on their hands with this one! #pcgaming #gaymer

I’m always conflicted on whether to switch to fat loss phase because I’m basically always frustrated at my chubby bits and want to feel attractive, or staying on a maintenance diet in hopes of adding mass to make numbers go up even though I feel chunky and gross. Bad body image is a fucking trip :/

Energy for lower body hypertrophy work is low tonight, yall. 🥀 BUT no rest! No excuses! I ain’t gettin any younger, and I’ve got pool season coming soon! 🙂‍↕️ 💪🏻 Let’s 👏 goooooo 👏 #weightlifting #gayswholift #workout #legday

I miss the days when the #Azure hashtag was more than just posts about the latest attempt to convince everyone that the only technology worth having the latest hot flavor of LLM. :/

I'm doing that thing again where I'm tired and obviously need to go to bed because work and stuff but I feel like if I go to sleep I'm going to ~*miss out*~ on something? I couldn't tell you what my dumb brain things it'd be missing out on, but ... here we are. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I hope the 12 C-suite types in the world who actually like the new UI changes in iPadOS 26.x are having an OK day. I hope the exchange of a perfectly workable split screen mechanism for a wobbly cornered, unintuitive, literally unhinged, translucent disaster really helps them succeed! 🙂‍↕️ 🔪

YOU IMPUNE MY HONOR, SIRSANDORMADAMS 😤 😭

lol Shameless engagement bait but honestly some of these got me 😂

My evening in three pictures. 🕺🏼

I'm wine tipsy and have just been drowning myself in KPDH content lately. I'm literally about to re-watch it (only 2nd time!). Andrew did a great breakdown on it! I'm not a musician, but I love deep exploration of shit like this. :3 #music #KPDemonHunters #kpop

This shit is wild and frustrating to watch. I played the Alpha 2 for about 60 hours and loved it. It was rough, obviously, but all the ideas were there, and they were swinging for some big things (just not always as successfully as folks might want). I was stoked for Beta. And just like that…🫰🔥

One of my fave YT channels that does VFX, animation, and stunt breakdowns dropped a video on #KPopDemonHunters that is *super* interesting. The two directors are charming and funny, and it's cool to see all the work that went into making it! #movies #animation #kpop www.youtube.com/watch?v=e7L-...

BREAKING: The two federal immigration agents who fired on Minneapolis protester Alex Pretti are identified in government records as Border Patrol agent Jesus Ochoa and Customs and Border Protection officer Raymundo Gutierrez.

What's going on with @ashesofcreation.bsky.social makes me nervous and kinda' sad for the project and MMORPG's generally. Hopefully more details about whatever the hell is going on will surface soon. :( #pcgaming #gaymer #mmorpg
