You shouldn't rest on your laurels, but definitely stop and appreciate it when you finally get a win no matter how big or small.

First real show with my name on the ticket since I started performing again, plus it's leg day. Bring it.

If you love someone, set them free.

Missing bulking season right now in so many ways for so many reasons...

Life is so strange. When it's Boring, we crave excitement. When it's exciting it becomes stressful. When it's stressful we crave safety. When it's safe it becomes boring. Rinse and repeat.

First time back on stage in a month. Lots of mistakes. Messed up my signature routine. Rowdy audience... Easy to brush off though because it feels insignificant when I remember what was really missing from tonight... Or rather WHO.

In the end, everything will be okay. And if things aren't ok, then it's not the end.

I haven't been to the gym after 5:00 p.m. in 6 years. I have a feeling I'm about to remember why mornings are better.... Wish me luck

Lots of bunny eggs. I'm an adult 😂

Too many people have given Elon a pass. Don't give him a pass.

He's a marketer, not a founder or an engineer. He didn't found PayPal or Tesla; he bought into them early. He's good at selling narratives and equity valuation for perpetually unprofitable companies.

Everything for him is a narrative. His green revolution was a narrative to sell more cars and get more subsidies. His bitcoin purchase was to gain appeal among bitcoin/crypto people in a bull market. And he shilled doge like a dumbass. His SpaceX narrative is to get money from the government.

His rooftop solar thing was an outright scam; the technology isn't ready and went nowhere because of that. His full-self-driving-in-an-intermediate-term timeline was a scam, and is going nowhere because of that. He makes scams to draw people and capital in, because for him it's all about narratives and equity valuation.

And then he dug unproductive holes, suggested unproductive hyper-tubes, built meme flamethrowers, for what? It's a narrative, not a business. None of this is real productive shit to make peoples' lives better.

His latest "we need free speech" narrative was a scam too. He tapped into something real, which is what marketers do and why it kind of worked. Yes, we need free speech. Yes, Twitter had censorship issues. He saw that and jumped on it maliciously rather than productively.

But what did he replace it with? He replaced it with arbitrary journalist censorship about his private jet, arbitrary censorship of Substack, selective Twitter Files release, won't talk seriously about any of his China connections because Xi Jinping fucking owns him economically there like Jack Ma, has his balls firmly in his grasp, etc.

Elon's playing the narrative, the anti-woke meme of the day. He's a master meme-momentum-player. Don't fall for it.

Lyn on a killing spree today 🔥

My anxiety has never been this bad in my entire life. It makes it hard to think clearly and then I wind up doing the things that made it bad in the first place. Any recommendations for remedies to calm down when I get days like this?

With muun I just clicked the link and selected open with muun and it went automatically, didn't have to paste anything. Using an Android phone, not sure if that matters.

All jokes aside. I hope this month is a happier one than last, not just for me but for everyone.

It has become painfully obvious that the most likely thing to destroy me.... Is me. And I can be pretty dangerous as it turns out. Fighting the inner demons is a never-ending battle... I only hope I'm strong enough to hold them back. But I've lost so much already, I'm starting to wonder what I'm actually fighting for...

I've crashed and burned already, but What do I build now? What kind of life do I want? I've made some pretty terrible choices lately and I'm not sure how to fix them, assuming they can be fixed at all. Feeling like I'm in the dark not sure if I'm heading forwards or backwards. I get glimpses of what I want, but not enough to make things out clearly. It's torture. One day I'm sure of myself the next I'm doubling back. I've never been so at odds with myself. What do you do when you feel like you can't trust yourself anymore? How do you find clarity?
