A bit about myself. Obviously not as bright as you are. Everything on BlueSky is off the record.

What movie moment made you exclaim…

“THIS IS CINEMA” 🖤

Today’s coping mechanisms:

Eating lasagna at 3 am.
Having a second mug of coffee.
Planning fantasy camping trips (I am not going to make the trip but I like the planning aspects).
Listening to Hole.
Obsessing about THFC firing their head coach and who will replace him.
Planning a CitiField trip.

Oh, Jon, that’s going to be a long hard road.

Fun fact, I have PINE running on one of my business systems because firing it up makes me feel young again.

Oh no.

Sisko’s love of baseball helps make him my favorite Star Fleet Officer.

Lot of negativity going around.

Post anything #StarTrek that cheers you up 🖖

I did my first couple of sets of KB workouts this year. My arms and core feel a little wrecked and it was only 7 1/2 minutes.

I don’t really like football. I don’t like the pace of the game, the terrible impact it has on the bodies of the players, and the mindset of the coaches generally.

I don’t tend to watch the Super Bowl unless I’m with friends.

But if you call it fucking Sportsball…

Lasagna is in the oven. The mac & cheese is assembled. (The mornay made me stop and admire my own work.) The focaccia has been transferred to a cast iron pan to rest before heading into the oven.

Also, the kitchen is mostly cleaned up.

I am crushing a cold Sunday morning.
I’m going to make lasagna and I’m going to make mac & cheese. I mention this because it is -10°F right now and I think I want “stick to my ribs” food. The béchamel for the lasagna will become the mornay for the mac & cheese.

But first, a simple tomato sauce

I’ve tried listening to my first book; “Orbital” by Samantha Harvey. The story is excellent, but having it read to me is so much less an immersive experience than actually reading it. I don’t want to wade into controversial waters, but it is a different* experience than reading.

Ryan Hall having to eat a piece of fruit to ensure that his viewers are actually watching his videos and not AI slop is emblematic of the problems with creation of this era.

I shared this with friends as a piece of media that lives rent free in my head, but seriously… Mike O’Brien’s “the Jay-Z story” is something that I think about at least once a week. (Jay Pharaoh’s “Empire State of Mind” verse is amazing)

I received an email from Noom. It was asking if a GLP-1 was right for me. It was also trying to pitch me AI menu and food tools.

I found Noom to be valuable, even as it didn’t work for me. However, I don’t need medication and I definitely don’t need a large language model to help with my weight.

I’m really far from being a medical expert, but I’m old, vaguely athletic, and have had a history of knee problems & even when my knee is most stable, I find skiing to be treacherous.
