#84 When Did I Get Old?
Watch out, it’s coming for you, too…
#83 Enshittification and climate guilt
My wife pushed back against my thoughts on discretionary flight travel and our individual responsibilities regarding climate change. She wants the focus to be on companies and greed. I think it can be both.
#82 The sobering reality of climate change
Last September, the German Meteorological Society and German Physics Society released new data showing we will reach 3C above pre-industrial levels by 2050. This means +2C in fifteen years, or by 2040. Grain yields will fail almost completely at +2C. No grains, no civilization. It also means +4C by 2080, which means earth can no longer support higher life.
Meanwhile, spring break just happened and millions traveled and flew, including my own neighbors, posting pictures of exotic locations reached by plane. What is happening? Are we ignorant or suicidal? In denial or disavowal? Or is this just human nature — to fiddle while Rome burns?

#72 Mentzer and Schwarzenegger different methods same results
One prioritized volume while the other intensity and recovery yet both won major competitions and devoted followings. Is it all just bullshit and genetics? What matters when you’re an older guy trying to look and feel physically good?
#71 We need to talk about Marjorie Taylor Greene
Why MTG broke with Trump and why that gives hope to all of us.
