Had a great morning running the Monterey Bay Half Marathon once again with family and friends! No PR this time, but still happy with the pace. And it’s hard to beat the vibes of a beautiful sunny day with a cool breeze and a gorgeous ocean view along the entire route! #MontereyBayHalfMarathon

I saw @realgdt.bsky.social's Frankenstein at my local theater tonight! A masterfully crafted, lovingly rendered, gorgeous vision of Mary Shelley's classic tale with a haunting final act that broke my heart yet left it brimming with the fragile beauty of hope. Jacob Elordi's performance is indelible.

One Battle After Another crackles with the raw energy of the moment and the creative energy of a great filmmaker telling a deeply personal story. PTA walks a live wire and never falls.
Leo: hilarious and moving. Chase Infiniti: outstanding. A star is born. Teyana Taylor lights the screen on fire. 🔥

Loved the Alien: Earth finale! A satisfying, bloody, and appropriately chilling closure to the season's moral arc (that final line ... ) while leaving the door wide open for future seasons. All capped off with the most fitting needle drop yet. 🎶

I went up to Stanford for their home opener against Boston College, and got to witness their first win of the season! Really fun game - Stanford’s defense forced three key turnovers and the offense showed some creativity and explosiveness. Proud of you, Card! Keep the good vibes going! #GoStanford

Alien: Earth keeps finding new ways to both disturb and enthrall - engaging with questions about the conflicted heart of humanity, all grounded in the emotions of its characters, and showcasing suspense and terror in a way that this series, at its best, does better than any other.

I loved the first two episodes of Alien: Earth - exactly what I hoped for from a show set in this world. Great premise, superb atmosphere, terrifying creatures, and an emotionally compelling lead character in Sydney Chandler's Wendy who feels distinct from prior protagonists. All in on this series!
