I think the concepts really square with my experience and help temper the common excesses of productivity culture.
Watched: Sentimental Value ๐ฅ
Well, this movie done messed up my whole โBest Ofโ films list for 2025. Easily taking the #3 or #4 spot. This film is true art. The best pure drama film I have seen in a long time. Watched on a flight to West Coast and it was still amazing.
๐ฅ Casey Neistat’s latest video about this young man with Cerebral Palsy running the NYC Marathon is so encouraging, heartwarming, and dignifying. It’s worth the 9-minute watch. Disclaimer: you may want to grab a tissue.

Came across this classic from Woody Allen today that is an absolute must read.

๐ฅ๐ฟ My very low-stakes review of “Weapons' by Zach Cregger.
Warning: Spoilers!
๐ฅ๐ฟI wrote a brief analysis on Ari Aster’s Eddington:
Indeed, at its core, Eddington is a tale about communicationโor, rather, miscommunicationโof our desires, identities, and realities. The settings and personalities are held distant enough to let us laugh at the caricatures, but not held so far that we lose sight of our own reflections. Delightfully non-partisan, Aster manages to take the mick out of both the far right and far left in order to illuminate the subtle, but exponentially more influential, technological forces at play.

๐ต๐ฅ Machine Gun Kelly having one of the best dance sequences in a music video in recent memory is so unexpectedโฆ but so enjoyable.
Shoutout also to Travis Barker of Blink-182 who is credited on the song. A fellow Inland Empire native who made it out and became a legend. ๐ค
