Bought a copy of W.B. Yeats’ autobiography where he kinda looks like David Bowie (which I’m sure Bowie would have loved)

You shake yourself awake in the cold North Atlantic water. You are not online. It is July of 1858. You are a baleen whale, and you have changed your mind. The future most not come to pass. The telegraph cable must break.

40 pages left in the 10-volume series of 1000-page fantasy novels I’ve been reading on and off since the middle of college. An end of an era for me. Feels very bittersweet.

425lbs. Posting because it’s technically a PR but only because I haven’t been trying heavy single deadlifts most of the year. There’ll be a bigger one in two weeks.

John Fetterman’s a disgrace to the oaf community. He does not represent America’s lumbering buffoons, ham-fisted galoots, or men whose heavy footsteps are soundtracked by a tuba.

I stop at the same taco bell in Napoleon, Ohio every time I drive to Indiana (a couple times a year) and the vibe in there always feels like I walked into the wrong saloon in a frontier town
mcdonalds is snitch town. taco bell feels like it should be cool but too many people are in there strung out and paranoid on hot sauce packets. safest fast food? gotta be arbys.

I did not watch UFC 309 but I heard the main card was pretty bad other than a few moments from Chandler vs Oliveira. I’m glad that’s the one Trump took all his friends to. I hope they thought it sucked.

Everybody talks about “ego death” on psychedelics but whenever I’m on psychedelics I just become convinced that I’m a character in a narrative and I need to figure out what I need to do to advance the plot or develop my character arc
