Lifted upper body pretty hard today. Got 6 reps of 165lb preacher curls with the camber bar. 8 reps of 245 shoulder press (in the Smith machine, much easier), 8 reps 265 benches. 160 flys (80 per hand).
Then blew up carb consumption by going ham on a nacho bar at lunch. Jesus, it was good, though.

If Baby Shark played continuously on store music loops and radio stations, we'd lose our fucking minds at it.
But do that with Frosty the Snowman and nobody blinks an eye.

Accountability thread for the week ending 11/22/2025. Three days progressive overload resistance training, 1 each top half, bottom half and back.
Was sick last weekend into this week, so first lift was Wednesday.
Didn't have my heart in it, but it got done.

ABC executives have to be outraged.
Why they JUST handed him $16m, and the motherfucker doesn't even have the decency to STAY bribed.
Nom-nom'd all that diaper shit for nothing!

Trump in response to an Epstein question: "ABC, your company, your crappy company is one of the perpetrators. I think the license should be taken away from ABC because your news is so fake and so wrong. And we have a great commissioner, a chairman, who should take a look at that."

Looking for a quick hit long QQQ this morning, because it's at the bottom edge of its Bollinger bands on falling volume.
Vol > 20 is not a hold 'em environment, though.

Accountability thread for week ending 11/15/2025. 3 days progressive overload strength training-1 each top, bottom and back-bracketed by cardio and stretching. Feeling a bit sick this weekend.
Took some progress pictures, looking very strong, just a bit heavy, like a chunky armored bulldozer.

First try at baingan bharta by request of our vegetarians, never eaten it before so cooking blind.
Interpolated a few recipes. Stuffed the eggplant with deseeded serranos and garlic cloves. Smoked the eggplant in mesquite, fire-roasted tomatoes, onions, ginger, garlic, kashmiri chili powder.

Very mixed quarter from Coreweave.
Revenue more than doubles, while operating expenses nearly triple, operating income falls by 2/3rds and interest expenses triple.
But, hey revenues are higher.
I guess we'll see how long they can keep this thing in the air at this pace.
Wen profit?

Imagining what a 50y fixed mortgage would do to the convexity of the MBS curve.
The first grain to fall from the pile in 2008 was Congress voting for Fannie to issue riskier jumbos to prop up prices in Cali Inland Empire, MBS dropped 2%, and a Bear fund 50x levered MBS paper blew up. First failure.

3 days lifting to failure, 1 top half, 1 bottom, 1 back day. New PR preacher curls, 4 reps @ 155 using the EZ bar.
Body wouldn't take a 4th lift like the prior 2 weeks.
Took a full-body pic for progress, looking like a chubby armored bulldozer.

Good spot to pick up a scalp in QQQ during amateur hour this morning, to my mind. If you watch flows, vol control funds in for almost $50b in buys today.

Alex Karp of Palantir is bugfuck nuts. He gave an unhinged rant of an interview this morning on CNBC.
He ranted about short-sellers (there is 2.2% short interest in PLTR).
He claimed this was the greatest earnings report ever from an enterprise software company (Microsoft had 77x PLTR's revenues).
