Note: the fact that my profile says “No, my name’s Clarence” does not mean that’s my name. It simply means that Paul’s Boutique is a banger of a record.

What happens if you take your preworkout but then don’t do the workout

Hiring advice: Don’t take hiring advice from someone who talks about the “alpha” of candidates

Welcome to my home gym/home improvement supply

So many deadlifts today

I’m going to start streaming my work as I get myself going looking for my next opportunity… give me a follow on Twitch to tune in! https://twitch.tv/themattstratton/ Today I’ll be working on updating my personal website!

Workout done! 💪

It bothered me in my very soul to load these plates this way but I also didn’t want to take everything off to add the additional 5# for just one set 😂

Time for The Jesus and Mary Chain and Psychedelic Furs!

Hello. It was deadlift day.

Watched the first episode of Kaos. This show is rad. So of course I read that it’s not been renewed. *cries in Firefly fan*

I stg i feel like I’m running a flop house for three teenagers And also I’m apparently Uber for in-demand rides

Just saw a job posting for a developer advocate at a startup with “MS or PhD in computer science” Have fun with that.

Can we all just agree that all computers are terrible and move on? We all know that user interfaces peaked with BeOS and have gone downhill since.

Bench day! (Cody is helping)

Thank you so much to everyone who has reached out to me with support and concern since my announcement. I really appreciate all of you, even if all I can muster is a 💜 reply (mostly because I’m overwhelmed, but also because I’m getting my thoughts together!) Thank you all 🥰

You know how they made “Garfield Without Garfield”? Can someone do that like, “Jimmy Fallon’s Funny Guests Without Fucking Jimmy Fallon”?

And…now my car won’t start. So getting it towed to the service department. Awesome. $$$$

Sad to share that as of today, I have been laid off & will be leaving my great team at Aiven. It's been a privilege to lead that group & I'll miss them all. I am actively looking for my next role! I'll share more next week after a think about what I want to do next.

Moved some heavy circles today to try to ward off anxiety and stress. It sorta worked.

I… I just can’t.

HE SAID IT! yes! Good job, Walz! It took a long time in this debate to bring up “why ain’t Pence on this stage?”

Vance literally not able to say that Trump lost the election.

“The Harris/Biden administration” wut

The fact that they keep coming after Harris for “she should have done all these things already” just goes back to the “we are still just doing the same talk track we had planned for Biden”

Did you know Vance has three beautiful little kids? You might not know that. He has three kids. Here are their ages. He has three kids.

WHY DO THEY KEEP ACTING LIKE THE VP CAN “ENACT” ANYTHING? I implore them to watch Veep 😂

Just so we’re all clear, the part when they cut his mic because he was talking over his time is how all the MAGA are going to say it’s “three against one” and it’s so unfair that he wasn’t allowed to just rant how he wanted

“Thank you for explaining the legal process”

It’s always “here’s what Trump really meant” well why didn’t he say it then, Couchie McCouchbang?

the notifications tab here is so broken. it's definitely not showing me my mentions, just replies and likes, etc. Great.

It’s been an anxiety day (and evening) so I’m going to go to bed now.

Kiddo is off to his first Homecoming!

Cache Hit Ratio is an underrated potential band name

Two unrelated but equally accurate observations I’ve heard in the last 24 hours - “Nick Bottom is Shakespeare’s Michael Scott” - “The Pixies were a 90s band in the 80s”

Okay for my fellow nerdy/tech lifting pals, my new favorite thing is @liftosaur, which is basically “workout program as code” https://www.liftosaur.com/profile/wucedumzcg

I wish twitter DMs had a “delete all spam now” button like Gmail does

*cry-laughs in “lives in Chicago and works with a lot of Europeans”*

Yeah twitter is working just fine

Good news department! (CW blood sugar) I just got my results of my latest panel and for the first time in YEARS my a1c and glucose are in the “green” levels!

We’re not even supposed to be here today #RiotFestSucks

A little tour of my home gym setup! Trying to figure out a few adjustments; would love your ideas and opinions! https://youtu.be/DIOP3AwjdUU?si=_OvLCEMR8Rb10-N_

So @StefGregoles and I made a last minute decision to not totally skip Riot Fest this year and we will be going on Friday! Of course the four bands I actually want to see are all playing at the same time #RiotFestSucks

@celeste_horgan: “Rest assured, Matty, you are the most Gen X person I think I've ever met” Me: “@Dixie3Flatline says that about me too, but it's not complimentary”

Second round of Sophia’s junior high softball regionals are about to start. We are 5th seed playing the 1st seed 😮 🥎

Do I have any friends in Savannah?
