people are genuinely so insane all of the time now that it makes it hard to want to participate in literally anything

The Met Gala is an even more disturbing display of wealth and status, occurring on the verge of the greatest financial crisis our country has ever seen. None of these people deserve your attention. Turn that focus back onto yourself, and your direct community.

[nichard @meatymcsorley]

can't believe we're doing "powerlifting doesn't make you look good" discourse again. we train to attempt a total of 9 max effort lifts over like 7 hours, like no shit? zero percent of PL is focused on aesthetics, if you did it for years and thought it was, that's on you

Bo stopped by his memorial.
Truly hate to say it, but I told you ghosts are real…

Thank you to friend of the show @byericalauren for capturing these in an otherwise completely normal roll of film.

For Bo, Forever…

Today’s new episode is the most important thing we’ll ever make. This past January, Bo & I interviewed each other intimately about our respective upbringings, families, friends, and the result is a raw, personal, and cathartic nearly 3 hour conversation.

It didn’t feel right to post at the time, but in this new light, I feel it is the greatest gift imaginable. This is the first of our 3 final projects with our best friend Bo. We loved making them, and I hope you enjoy them all.

Thank you for the love & support, and for being so kind to Bo. I love you buddy @bosxe.

In loving memory of Bohan Daniel Lueders…

Starting tomorrow on HardLore, we have the first of three final projects recorded with our beloved brother and the other half of this show from the beginning.

In January of this year, we had the idea to interview each other in great detail about our childhoods, formative years and beyond in a nearly 3 hour conversation that (at the time) we deemed was too personal to release.

Now I believe there is a greater purpose to this conversation, and despite some parts being difficult to listen to given the current circumstance, it is an absolute miracle that it exists. I sat with it all day the day after he passed just to hear his voice again, and found that rather than being struck by the pain of him being gone, there was relief in feeling like he was back in the room with me. I take comfort in knowing that in many ways, he always will be.

I am so lucky and grateful to have thousands of photos with my best friend, and countless hours of footage, so let that inspire you all to do the same. Just take the damn pictures. You’ll be glad to have them.

In this time of unimaginable shock, and pain, I thank you all for your kind words, stories and support for Bo these last few days. I wish he could have seen it.

For Bo, Forever.

I'm a 3XL/4XL 303lb man and I felt so small today

Is this elite powerlifter level body dysmorphia? Am I a real boy now?

[LLONER 🦅🪐 @eyojoel77]

I actually don't want to climb any corporate ladders. I don't care about job titles. I don't need accolades.

I just want to have income to fund my lifestyle, not be depressed, help other people, and be around good humans.

everything we say at funerals should be said at birthday parties instead. we leave so much love unspoken

[masti nahi rukni chahiye @youcandothisbis]

dating apps don't work because they can only optimise for meeting people. and when you have access to new people, the thought of finding someone better is at the back of most people's brains and that's why they don't wanna do the effort of reflection, unlearning and adaptation that a relationship takes. plus the dopamine hits from the app itself makes you want to chase attention more. your brain tends to prioritize short term ease to long term security.

so dating apps are probably the reason you're not finding love.
