I lost 20lbs in 5 days.

GLP-1 overdose is not fun.

"Sure, I'll inject myself with this stuff I got off the Internet. What could go wrong?"

In my case, they prescribed me a much higher dose than I should have been on. I had no clue how bad it could go.

Starting last Thursday, through 2 urgent care visits, 1 ER visit, 2 series of IV fluids, a CT scan, and now onto a pretty strong course of antibiotics, I have finally stopped running to the toilet 20 times a day. If that doesn't sound too bad, you're a stronger person than I.

Gastroparesis, diverticulitis, severely compromised kidney function, and a lot of other important interior parts not functioning correctly, I was seriously scared for my life for the whole awful experience. I'm not good dealing with health related problems, so YMMV.

I had a few things to get off my chest last night about where I am and what I can't do anymore.

I am completely blown away. I don't know if I'm excited or frightened.
I took a little orgam chord progression with a looped beat and I put it in Suno (the songwriting AI that people are deathly afriad of).
I would love to know what you think.

I'm planning a year-end video about the biggest stories in tech—be it tech products, companies or the people who talk about tech. I definitely want to talk about Jon Prosser, but what else should I include?

So, the entire plot of Pluribus is a metaphor for the Internet.

We all understand that, right?

I spent some time this morning really thinking about how 2025 went for me, the good and the bad. On the one hand, I spent a lot of time honestly assessing everything I was doing and making the effort to change the negative and grow the positive.
This year I started a new business, became more clear minded about my other business, and started making room for the creative stuff I had been letting slide for years.
I got on a weight loss program and started a medication to help with my adhd.
Meanwhile, I need to exercise more, I need to figure out how to effectively manage my time and regain some discipline that I’ve lost somehow in the past decade.
Most of all, I need to get better at giving myself grace and embracing the journey more.
What are you focused on as the year comes to an end?

One more "Can You Trust?" question:

When I was making the series I felt like it was important to have the conversations we had, but it also was super stressful and kind of made me feel like crap a lot of the time. I'm conflicted about going back to that well for that reason.

Anyone with thoughts or advice, I'd love to hear it.

A followup to last week's question. You folks overwhelmingly voted to bring back the Can You Trust? series.

Now I need to know who or what you want me to cover. Let me know in a comment below. I'll start with the subjects that get the most comments.

3 months since the AirPods Pro 3 came out. Did you get them? How do you like them? Better than the AirPods Pro 2? Anything else you prefer?
I'm looking to build out soe audience reactions for an upcoming video.
