My girlfriend, an MD, gets more and more annoyed every time Chase, Cameron, and Foreman do a highly specialized task that would never be their job. MRIs etc We watched the ceo episode last night and she was like “wow I’m surprised they didn’t do the heart transplant themselves”

Very minor spoilers for The Expanse: I’m on the book that’s set on a planet with breathable air and it’s giving me retroactive claustrophobia for the previous books, which are 94% spaceflight and cramped space stations 🧗 Flash go on a cruxy 11

Hey everyone, i’m currently in the midst of training for my first para rock climbing competition. Any help you could provide would be greatly appreciated. gofund.me/02d0d540c

Siobhan Thompson recommended reading The Lathe of Heaven as blindly as possible, not even reading the back first. I did so and now I also recommend that 🧗 Incredarete V1

Saw The Substance this weekend. I deal with my fair share of body shame and fear of aging, so I wish I could say the parable aspect of it cured me, but it only put me in a bad, kind of obsessive mood that still hasn’t worn off (cont)

Many such cases

🧗 Tip-toey slab, a shoulder-shredding crux bulge, then much harder tip-toey slab. Quite a sandwich The Up Game 10b

The situation this evening #thepitt

🧗 Thought this was going to be my first gym V6. Put 2 sessions into it. After this attempt I noticed it had been downgraded. Fuck my chungus life The 180 at the beginning is sick though

🧗 Been training endurance this winter. On our last RRG trip it became obvious that it’s a bad bottleneck. Feeling good progress with 4x4s on boulders. Flashed 5.11 on lead in the gym for the first time The Shrine V2

I’m playing on hard because I ran out of time and had to put my challenge squares on the main board. I did 0 research. “Bay of Pigs but Venezuela” arguably happened while I was working on this. I have spoken

🧗 I did this without putting any holes in my clothes and there was a dead scorpion in a spider’s web below the chains. Neat Peach Fuzz 10a

Hello. I’ve just returned from an excellent snorkeling trip where we also climbed the ruins of a lighthouse. I lack the tools for underwater photography, but let me tell you about a harrowing thing that happened to me

Choose one frame from Silence of the Lambs that represents you. I’ll go first

🧗 The closest I’ll ever be to a one-armed pushup Strike V3

The Fort Bragg Cartel is so blunt that it reads as righteous anger. It rules Chapter one: these special forces guys are drug-addled monsters, it’s a systemic problem, and you’re gonna hear about it

🧗 Sit finish V5 with some nice compression Swapped ropes in the middle of a route this weekend. Don’t end up like me, kids. 20 meters is shorter than you think

Mr secretary we have solid intel that a drug cartel has set up bases north of the border. Eliminate them and you might just beat this boat scandal. Yes sir. They’re called the sacklers sir

Maybe the real rock climbing was the gear we dropped along the way Amarillo Sunset 11b

This year I’m thankful for Elden Ring dlc items that trivialize annoying enemies NPC? Greatsword of damnation Dragon? Dragon hunter’s great katana Royal revenant? Heal from afar Invasion? Wrath from afar

🧗 Gambled the onsight on this maneuver and it paid off Hazel Green 10b

🧗 This thing still kicks my ass but it’s kicking more softly lately Swingers V3/4

Finished Say Nothing by Patrick Radden Keefe. Came away thinking the Troubles are under-discussed when it comes to colonialism, facism, and the imperial boomerang, at least here in the states. I’m ashamed I was so ignorant I’ll give examples but none of them are as on the nose as this headline

Even the goofiest rock climbing video contains a few frames where you look cool. This is how the mainstream media lies to you Bonne Fete 10a

I imprisoned my cat under a laundry basket an hour ago and she has done nothing but purr loudly

🧗 V5 flash with a super satisfying second move and a nice lil knee bar

This country is so mired in puritan work ethic that the main defense of SNAP right now is “um actually SNAP recipients work hard and therefore god loves them and it’s not a commie handout” instead of “social safety nets are not optional, deal with it” Exhausting

🧗 Got my first 10c. Slab/vertical with crimps and big underclings. Full rest in the hueco. Crux is mantling the large shelf above It’s been said this is an 11 if you’re short. The amount of chalk I saw on awful holds which were skippable for me seems to support that Gumbo Love 10c

🧗 The guys cheering for me on this one were complete strangers. I think it might have been the penjamin talking Clipping bolts outside tomorrow, very stoked

While I am disappointed that my plan to turn the white house into a museum of america’s crimes did not pan out, tearing it down completely is an acceptable compromise thank you mr president

That video of the ice agent getting a dui reads like a comedy written by police abolitionists It’s such an exhaustive list of cop tropes that I’m surprised they don’t stop for donuts at the end

This and loud cars A phone speaker ruins the vibe of a room A loud car ruins the vibe of a neighborhood If someone made that much noise by any other means, interrupting dozens of conversations, music, etc, they’d get arrested and probably punched. If it’s a car, we just have to eat it

Untamed is good so far (spoiler) Turner saving Vasquez from the mine with a pep talk was super lame. She should have escaped on her own Maybe she even escapes on her own, brings in the evidence, and suddenly decides to not even mention being trapped

🧗 Bad camera angle, but watch till the end to see my buddy’s reaction when he realizes how stupid my beta was These Feel Just Like Your Sister’s V3

A kid asked me why my bike is so big while we were waiting at a crosswalk Buddy, I have the thighs of a water buffalo and the tibias of a etiolated giraffe During puberty I had shin splints for 2 years straight I’m lucky a local bike shop even had a contraption such as this

The only form of metagaming that’s always ok and funny to me in a TTRPG: “Baldrick, I saw you take an arrow back there, how are you faring?” “4”

I tried the boulder from the greatest bouldering video of all time Dragon Lady V4

Listen, there’s still a chance Bill Burr nudges my dad to the left of the democratic party. We just gotta ride this one out. We’re so close

🧗 Everyone loves this boulder but a few things about it are underrated. The drum sounds it makes. The armchair geology in its comment section on mountain project Fire Crack Flake V1

I love political vagueposts Have progressives really internalized this in some way? Which beliefs need examination? Like, I’m open to that Are you just venting because you had an infuriating argument with a “progressive” social Darwinist? We’ll never know

Only 20 pages in and I really like Samantha Shannon’s style. She’s not afraid to get flowery in the middle of a paragraph, which I often do, then self-consciously hammer backspace The overall mood and flow of events has a quality that I struggled to describe until a friend likened it to epic poetry

The acorn incident

Bouldering day. Huge acorns pelting down like hail. Thought I was gonna lose an eye I did this one back in March, but noticed later that I strayed off route. I feel better about ticking it after this attempt. Same difficulty imo but them’s the rules Keel Hauled V3

Really smart people exhaustively, angrily setting the record straight is my drug lately Sam altman, buddy, capitalism is mutually exclusive with sustainable life on a planet with limited resources. Instead of building a fantasy machine to sate your greed, let’s tax you and feed the poor

Good disaster movie: 30 minutes of exposition about the people and systems at play. Disaster. 1 hour of competence porn Bad disaster movie: 30 minutes of exposition about a happy couple. Disaster. 2 hours of dudes breathing heavily and Not Leaving Him Behind(tm)

🧗 Got your tall beta right here

Took my 12’ paddleboard-with-a-camping-chair-on-it to the Hiawassee. Rafting guide friend said it would be totally chill. It definitely was not chill at 2 generators, but I would do it again. Incredibly pretty river. Capsized once, got a broken toenail and some bruises. Found a ripe pawpaw

If I die put me on the Enir-Ilim goat boat and push me over a waterfall

The way the “evil corporation” archetype has changed over the lifespan of the Alien franchise is funny 1979: The Company is cold, calculating, faceless 2025: You cannot escape the founder’s obnoxious face and voice. He thinks he’s a machine god. Everything is vibe-based. You beg him to shut up
