Saw Jennifer Lawrence’s new flick about a woman who slowly goes insane because she feels confined by an unhappy marriage and the demands of motherhood. I had a few thoughts, but the biggest thing is that psychosis usually comes more from being too plugged in instead of being removed from society.

Saw this movie, which was about the prosecution of nazis for committing the Holocaust. One of the best films of the year.

Watched this version of Frankenstein, which I liked. I like that it makes you question who the real villain is.

Saw The Rock's new movie, which was a fantastic biopic about Mark Kerr. It's interesting. I just learned that mixed martial arts were one of the categories in the ancient Olympics. It was called pankration, a blend of boxing and wrestling, which were also sports in the competition.

Saw Blue Moon, Linklater’s film with Ethan Hawke as Lorenz Hart—an envious, alcoholic songwriter watching Rodgers drift toward Hammerstein. Its single setting feels stage-like, but fitting: for someone stuck in longing and regret, life becomes one bar, one bartender, and missed chances.

Fodder for my next book, which will be an argument for gun control. I’ve never been a believer in staying in your lane. Broaden your horizons. Learn new things and discuss them. And have fun while doing it.

Meant to post this. But I saw the new Paul Thomas Anderson flick. Definitely worth seeing if you haven’t.

Stood on the podium at the Panathenaic Stadium, birthplace of the modern Olympics, pretending I’d just won gold. For a moment I heard the crowd cheer—then realized it was tourists waiting for me to move. Still undefeated in “posing dramatically while out of breath.”

Winding up the cliffs to Oia, I watched Santorini unfold — whitewashed walls, blue domes, and the Aegean shining below. Crete’s rugged calm and Santorini’s dazzling light feel like two halves of Greece’s eternal story — one grounded in earth, the other floating on sea and sky. #travel

Visited Ephesus today—walked marble streets where Rome’s world still breathes. The Library of Celsus once held 12,000 scrolls, toilets funded the great theatre, and philosophers taught that harmony at home sustains peace. Wisdom, beauty, and balance—foundations of every empire.

Walked through the Agora in Athens today and thought back to when I was 23, copying every word of Plato by hand until I understood Socrates’ reasoning. Standing there, I could almost hear him speaking as Plato listened. The Agora isn’t just ruins; it’s where ideas first found their voice.

Stop pursuing fame. It's fleeting and ultimately unfulfilling. It's a gift to be able to attend a baseball game, blend in, and not be recognized. You're of the people. And all great reporters are of the people.
