Loved reading about the people behind the movement. Been hearing about most of these places and have them all in my ever-expanding list of places to try :)
NYT: In Paris, More Restaurants Are Combining Cultures and Flavors
Very Online
lol remember these hundreds of millions of dollars of signing bonuses?!
Been a huge fan since @hernameisbanks was putting out her first EPs.
Glad to finally see her live — and what a show too:
a great voice live, great choreography/dancing, lights show, in an intimate venue known for its historical significance in the Parisian cultural scene!
Wife came with me on the daily run today, for the first 2k :)
Stopped today’s run at 5k: between the recovery from leg injury + being under the weather this past weekend, having just eaten lunch, and the windy weather, I’d rather hit my weekly goal by pushing later this week than pushing too hard today.
Deeply saddened to hear about the passing of D’Angelo!
There’s rarely been such an influential artist who’s been as influential as he was reclusive especially with 3 albums over 20 years. (Maybe Jeff Buckley comes to mind…)
Incredibly excited to finally get to my #ParisBasketball home opener tomorrow! Hype’s been building up, the team is playing faster than ever, and while this promises to be a challenging season, our roster is overall more balanced than the past 2 seasons. #Euroleague and #BetclicElite, here we come!
My first 10k in probably 20 years
9/27/25
I believe this might be the first time ever, or at least in the past two decades, that I’ve completed a 10k run (and also managed to run over an hour, which is unprecedented for me, especially without any interruptions).
The course had minimal elevation, and the weather was cold and slightly humid. However, I think the temperature at least helped me maintain my pace and push through. Once I completed the larger loop around the lake, I realized that I needed to push just a bit more to reach the 10k mark as well as the hour mark. So, I continued running.
Proud of myself for reaching this milestone. It wasn’t easy, but I made an effort to pace myself more and ensure that I could complete the longer distance and time.
Very excited for the reform of @euroleague (and the Fantasy League) this year! Any of my followers here participating?
Doku is such a baller! So excited to see Ohil score in the derby too! #CmonCity #ManCity
Turnstile was already an all-time Baltimore band. This year, though? The city’s veteran hardcore quintet was transcendent, reaching levels of rarified air reserved for acts that do more than simply release a great album — they shift culture.
🎸 | How Turnstile conquered this summer — and the world 🤘🏼
First catch from DeAndre Hopkins as a Baltimore Raven, and it’s a dead-grab one-handed catch and touchdown! Woah! 🏈 #RavensFlock #NFL
First run for these next couple of weeks in the US. Overall, quite happy about the performance, especially given that this was a longer run than usual .
Nice to see some bike lines that I could use however, being in the suburbs is definitely not ideal at with regards to running paths.
But if our childhoods were that wonderful, why didn’t Generation X replicate our own experiences for our children? Why did so many millions of free-range kids grow up to become helicopter parents?
🏈 📺 With Streameast shutting down, what are other platforms to watch sports (NFL Football, ⚽️, …)? NFL starts again today and I’m gonna need my fix!
Oh FFS: Atlassian is acquiring The Browser Company for $610M. The deal is mostly above Dia, as expected, but it’s still quite surprising given the valuations in the AI space, these days…
Is this why we can’t have nice things?!
🎵 Whenever September comes, I get into a crisp Fall mood and one of my little rituals is to listen to Springsteen & Prince endlessly. Can’t explain it, it just brings me joy!
🏡 🇫🇷 Super excited to wake up to this article about our home and neighboring town in The Times today!
Greater Paris is born, reconfiguring the city. (…) The east (…) [side] has risen, turning the banlieue from Pantin to Romainville into cool, desirable areas. (…) The action is no longer on the Seine River — it is on a 200-year-old canal, the Ourcq.
🏈 🏆 Last weekend before the return of the NFL — my fantasy football draft earlier today I’m really excited about the team I was able to put together
4th 5k workout this week, starting to feel good and get my routine down.
Glad my wife and daughter were able to join for a bit but the local stadium security guy asked them to leave cuz “too dangerous” for the toddler to run around in an unused area of the track 🤔
Also interesting to realize that The Browser Company decided to continue putting Arc up front on their website, despite their previous claim (in May) that they would discontinue Arc. It continues to receive bugfixes recently, it seems.
À propos of nothing, the latest updates to the Dia (AI) browser are making it a whole lot more usable now: more stable & reliable, compatibility with Passwords, better resources management.
Very enjoyable. I do wish you could plug your own AI, though.
Really excited for the start of #EuroBasket today! Our French National Team has some exciting young talent and some good potential to make a deep run in this competition! #AllezLesBleus
Fourth day of the week
Third (5k) run of the week
Ran uninterrupted / non-stop this time
First one with the new shoes — no soreness, super light, super comfortable, kept a good face in the entire time
Overall, very happy :)
Day 2, Run 2
And now time to finish the workday before retiring these shoes and trying a new pair
First day of the week first run of the week
So far, after the first 3 episodes, #AlienEarth has been one really cool ride! Love that they’re expanding the world & universe of the show like that!
🔈🎸 The new All Time Low song “Oh No!" that dropped today is so freaking good! Can’t wait for the album to be released and to see them live this fall!
Simple and to-the-point, I love this new ad campaign to support our French Women’s National Rugby Team ahead of the Women’s Rugby World Cup
Honestly truly didn’t need a study to confirm this, but I guess it’s always good to have data to back up street-level facts…
…The study did not answer the question of why Americans were reading less. But the authors suggested some possible explanations, including **increased use of social media **and other technology, or more time spent at work because of economic pressure.
The decline in reading could have implications for Americans’ learning, relationships and overall well-being, the researchers said.
“Even though reading is often thought of as more of an individual activity, when we read stories, we actually form connections with characters”
