I have been pining for the return of @heavyweight.bsky.social and was very, very disappointed to hear Jonathan do a live ad-read for ChatGPT, of all things. He was advertising ChatGPT's free promotion for college students, which is one of the worst combinations of words I've ever heard.

Hey what’s going on with this. To be clear I’ve never needed anything to come back more in my entire life
It's autumn, and since that usually means the return of Heavyweight, we wanted to say hello. We've been looking for a new home for the show, and should have more news to share with you very soon. Stay tuned!

My grandma died, it was natural and normal and completely devastating and horrific for us but she was 94 and died in relative comfort. I can’t stop thinking about what it would have been like had this been done to us, rather than just happened as a matter of course.

HORRIFIC: going through my recently deceased grandmother’s laptop I’ve discovered a story I wrote in 2002 when I was 13. I probably emailed it to her back then.

One hour until I turn 36. Best year of my life so far capped by maybe one of the worst months of my life. With some really, really fucking beautiful moments sprinkled in. So fucking much is ending for me but a few new things are starting which is welcome

Half the vegetables my Patti likes are like okra and bitter gourd and the daals and sambhars are so fucking bland I’m literally losing weight this trip just because eating is kind of painful.

I tried to type “emotional regulation” and what came out was “emotional reggaeton” which would be nice right about now, if we’re being honest

Sometimes my 95-yo granddad will drop an insane detail, like how South Indians were forced to eat wheat bc the British were exporting all the rice during WWII, but the story is always ultimately something like the time he made a nice cup of coffee in 1945 that someone appreciated
