Knee Surgery to Beast Mode💥

💪🏾Two years ago, my rockstar online fitness client Jill faced knee surgery after a ski accident. Today, she’s rewriting her story—plyometric push-ups, single-leg box drives, and pistol squats like a pro.

🎯This isn’t just fitness. It’s resilience, growth, and a comeback that inspires.

📣Never give up!

Big Tech’s Big Heist - Cory Doctorow in Conversation with Adam Becker - Brooklyn Book Festival

We hear it again and again, the gospel of technological salvation. First, there was the promise of social media and other digital platforms (Amazon, Google, etc.) that became ingrained in our daily lives—but then devolved into what is widely acknowledged as much poorer-quality service and user experience. Now, it’s AI that’s supposed to save humanity […]

My ebooks and audiobooks (from Tor Books, Head of Zeus, McSweeneys, Beacon, Verso and others) are for sale all over the net, but I sell 'em too, and when you buy 'em from me, I earn twice as much and you get books with no DRM and no license "agreements."

🇺🇸🇩🇴 #Hispanic Heritage Month is meant to be a time of pride and celebration

🚨But in cities like Everett, MA, and beyond, public events are being canceled—replaced by fear and silence.

📌When culture is sidelined, children feel it. They see their heritage treated as a threat. They begin to question where they belong.

▶️This video is for my fellow Americans—especially the younger generation—on patriotism, #community, and shared humanity.

🇺🇦Thinking of all of my Ukrainian friends, volunteers I met from around the world, and heroes on the front lines.

💪🏾 Reposting my first visit to the legendary Kachalka outdoor gym in Kyiv, built from scrap metal and community spirit.

➡️ Remember, whether it’s donating, raising awareness, or sending a message of encouragement, every action matters.

📣 CPR and Stop the Bleed Training for the #Community / Para la Comunidad ✨

📸Photo highlights from our first free hands-only #CPR & 🩸Stop the Bleed training at La Alianza Hispana in #Boston. In partnership with the 🚑Boston #EMS Community Initiative team, we’re continuing our mission to close the gap in bystander CPR rates in Black and Latino communities.

📣A huge thanks to La Alianza Hispana and Boston EMS for making this vital training accessible—because preparedness saves lives!

Josh Kraft decides that instead of spending $3M on negative ads, he could spend that money actually helping #Boston.

"In a lengthy Instagram post Thursday evening, Kraft said he would dedicate the resources he had set aside for the remainder of the campaign, as well as 'additional funds,' to address the crises of homelessness and addiction at Mass. and Cass, working with organizations such as The Phoenix, a recovery community, and the Gavin Foundation, an addiction treatment center."

❤️ Empowering Our Community: An afternoon of Life-Saving Skills! ❤️

👏🏽Today was the first free hands-only CPR & Stop the Bleed training at La Alianza Hispana in #Boston. The energy was amazing!

🚑 Inspired by my EMT-B recertification, I’m working to bridge the gap in bystander #CPR rates in underserved communities by connecting them with the Boston EMS #Community Initiative team.

📣Thank you again to Boston EMS and La Alianza Hispana for making this possible!

Okay #Boston drivers, I'm mad again.

I mean, I get that the traffic is terrible and that's why you can't wait for the next light cycle. It's very frustrating. I know. What you absolutely need to realize is that YOU ARE THE TRAFFIC.

The people who complain about the traffic are EXACTLY the ones who could do something about it. Just … don't drive. Boom! Less traffic! No boards to review the plan, no approvals, no bidding, no contractors. Just. Don't. Drive.

🇺🇦Dyakuyu is Ukrainian for Thank You

🚞 From the train, a message of thanks to everyone who has supported me and, more importantly, my Ukrainian friends.

I am heading 🇺🇸 home, but my support is not. I will continue to advocate from the U.S., and ask you all to do same.

➡️ Every act of solidarity—donating, volunteering, or simply sending a message of encouragement—matters.

Thank you for standing with #Ukraine.🇺🇦

Exercises of the day: Chain-loaded clean squat to overhead press + Commando pull-ups 💪🏾

🇺🇸Back home in the U.S., I advocate for health equity. Here in #Kyiv, I found a living example of it.

🇺🇦First visit to the legendary Kachalka outdoor gym, built from scrap metal and community spirit.

🎯This gym isn’t just about fitness; it’s about connection and the enduring spirit of the Ukrainian people.

🇺🇦 Ukrainian Word of the Day: Druzhba
Druzhba means friendship

🗣️After my third visit to Ants Kitchen Hub in #Kyiv, I was gifted a Ukrainian flag. It was a meaningful gesture from a community of volunteers who prepare dry meals for frontline defenders.

🥔🥕The work here is simple and vital: we make nourishing, morale-boosting dry rations. I am committed to supporting this effort, and I will be back. That is my promise.✨

🇺🇦 Midway to Kharkiv: Dyakuyu (Thank you).

Just taking a quick break for ☕️kava and reflecting on this trip. All of your messages and well wishes mean so much. They’re a powerful reminder of how many people stand with Ukraine.

🚌 I’ll be in Kharkiv in a few hours and will post an update.
