Lately I’ve had some free time so I've been watching the movies being mentioned this award season. - Sing Sing was incredible. I really liked it - Anora was great. The praise is deserved. - A Different Man was a surprise—very inventive, super well acted, and right up my alley thematically but I know not everyone will love it. - But, so far, Nickel Boys is in a class of its own. It feels unfair to compare it to other movies. It’s like Ramel Ross is making art in a medium other people don’t even have access to yet. I imagine that this will influence a lot of filmmakers in years to come.

Does anyone use Ladder app? I just joined on the rec of one of my best friends with whom I’ve trained forever. She suggested a “team” for bodybuilding I later realized had “a glute focus.” It’s been GREAT but weird because it’s like me and 500 women banging out chest, back, hip thrusts, and lunges.

Cross-casting this from writing. This is an essay I wrote about the eye-opening and mind-expanding journey I had learning about Russian Cosmism, the philosophy which contended that we should colonize space and make everyone immortal. https://warpcast.com/charliedbecker/0x6595f34c

After a MERE six months of drafting and editing, here is an essay which I still don’t think if quite finished but in which I distill an enormous number of important ideas I’ve been converging on. LINK: https://charliebecker.substack.com/p/courage-and-moonshots

I'm doing a short "season" of a podcast/show with 10-12 episodes in early 2025. Episodes will be mix of solo and interviews in video and audio on multiple platforms then chopped up as short-form clips to market it. What's the best lean stack to do this as a one-man operation?

It took me a while to get back into it, but I did. - Left is a 5K in March '23 at a PAINFUL 13:40/mile. - Right is a 10K in October '24 at a breezy 11:38/mile. I'm not setting records, but I just started training this August after recovering from major surgery. Excited for where this goes.

I don't have Temu, but Temu was emailing me saying it was delivering my order to a city I don't live in. I did "forgot my password" and took back the account. But then I googled my name + delivery city and I think a senior with my name mistyped his email, and I am the hacker now?

Sometimes I read something that I really need to read in that moment and it feels good but also hurts a little bit and so I inadvertently make the American Psycho/sigma male “ooh” face. This most recent face is brought to you by The Courage to Be Disliked.

The coolest thing about growing up in a secondhand bookstore is your chances are higher than anybody else’s for running across ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE books you’ve never heard of before.

There should be a word with a positive connotation for when you’re better than 99% of the population at something but among people who actually do it you’re mid, like being a man who can bench 225 or run a 7 minute mile at 40.

Who has the best "start a podcast" guide? I am going to do a pilot run of 10-12 episodes of a podcast and need to know what software etc., where to upload stuff. I'm looking for efficiency and just enough that I won't be like, "wow I screwed this up" in a year or two.

I’m writing a book based on a viral-ish essay I wrote called “Do the weirdest thing that feels right.” Here’s some brief notes with boldest section headings. I’d love to know if anything pique your interest—see next cast too.
