What started as one @hubermanlab.com podcast episode before work in the morning, has turned into a full-blown neuroscience marathon!

Mental health, focus, ADHD, and re-wiring the brain! 🧠 I can’t stop listening… here’s to mile 27 (and not the club)

Watched Daniel Pink's video on "40 Harsh Truths I Wish I Knew In My 20s" and my friend (Tim Apple) wants to know if being convicted of sexual assault makes one an A-hole? www.youtube.com/watch?v=w39A...

On April 7, 2020, I lost my father.
That same day, John Prine died.
Later, Terrapin Crossroads - my neighborhood venue founded by Phil Lesh - closed forever.

Grief changed how I see success, storytelling, and what truly matters.

I’m at 343 days 🔥 on #Duolingo and honestly? Not sure I even care about hitting 365. The new update replaced hearts ❤️ with a “battery” ⚡️ system - and somehow made it worse. Confusing, punishing, and basically unusable unless you pay. Might be time to let go. Adiós! Hasta luego

How many Dads are waiting in line right now to purchase a Nintendo Switch 2 for their awesome son?

So glad I decided on GameStop, they posted the number of units available on the door so you can get an idea on your chances based on the size of the line.

Good luck everyone!

Both parties deserve credit for making Elon Musk who he is today, $38 billion is decent 'pre-seed funding'.

How much did DOGE cut from America's biggest welfare baby?

Change is better than regret. If you don't believe me, ask an expert like Daniel Pink.

If I didn't #change my California address, there's zero doubt I would regret that decision forever. Today, $156,000 annual income is considered low-income in Marin County. #Democratic #Leadership #Failure

6/ There’s growing frustration among everyday families who feel left behind by policies that, despite good intentions, haven’t delivered practical solutions. It’s a reminder that accountability, balance, and results should matter more than party lines.

5/ While the Democratic Party has held power with the intent to create a more equitable and progressive state, the outcomes haven’t always aligned with those ideals

4/ Over the years, it’s become clear that many of California’s most persistent challenges—housing shortages, rising costs, homelessness, and infrastructure failures—have continued under long-standing one-party leadership.

This Thanksgiving, I prepared two turkeys, both wet brinded and spatchcocked. One 🦃 was butterstuffed with an herb 🌿🧈compound, and the other 🦃 was prepared with EVOO, 🍋 zest, and 🧄. I smoked these outside on a pellet smoker with Chery wood. 🍒🪵
