It's days like these that I really miss Prime 2010s Twitter.

It's weird because someone was asking me just the other day who I would go to for health, fitness, and nutrition advice and without hesitation, I said RFK Jr and Kid Rock.

I watched Predator Badlands.

Weyland Yutani is like the embodiment of the Sunk Cost Fallacy. Surely they've realised by now that "capturing advanced hostile alien species to develop bio-weapons" is just not a viable business model.

My absolute favourite thing about continuing to train into my late 40s is when you spend a good amount of time warming up properly and then pull an intercostal on your first working set and can't breathe for like 5 whole minutes.

Superfun times πŸ’ͺ🏾

Nothing in particular, just various people getting slapped upside the head for spitting at, swearing at, and racially abusing black and brown people. It's all good stuff.

I low-key wanna watch the Turning Point USA Alternative Fascist Superbowl Half-time Show for Fascists.

It will be so unfathomably shite that I almost feel like I'd be missing out on something really quite spectacular.

Almost, mind you.

Almost.

I'M IN A RESTAURANT!

And even if I wasn't , there are three clearly food related items and people are trying to tell me the other word is label?

You mad, fam!?

I don't do that any more. I gave it up. I've been clean for over 3 years now.
