Not my best, but fun to include Tony with the tower

Watched: The Odyssey 🍿 Yea, this movie ruled. But I also got the chance to see it in all its glory, on a 70mm IMAX screen. Was not a local screening, took 90 minutes there and back to see it in the best format, which is as lo... https://blog.samfiske.net/2026/09/17/watched-the-odyssey-yea-this.html

I love making stuff, building media for myself and others. Looking for opportunities. Opportunities where I can really care and invest myself in a team and its goals. See my portfolio! samfiske.net

Labor Day

Longtime sports investigative reporter Will Hobson leads this revealing story about Fetterman. Reporting skills transfer to different interest areas, who knew? www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

Dolly and now Tim Curry :/. Going to watch his classic episode of Psych, “American Duos”, in his memory

Haven’t seen this referenced in ages. What a film

That’s why I’m asking for your support during Daylight San Diego’s summer membership campaign. We’re working to raise $10,000 by Aug. 12 to sustain reporting that informs, serves and represents communities across San Diego. 8/8 www.daylightsandiego.org/support-our-...

A wholesome day spent with these folks. Lucky to count them among my people

Watching a train arrive

Nice to see some old friends. Different life paths converging for a moment. Where to next?

This book is as insightful as people claimed. Homelessness is one of those issues people see some stats on, then move on. This grounds those stats in real life experiences, but names and faces to numbers. Finished reading: There Is No Place for Us by Brian Goldstone 📚

Beautiful night in Palm Springs celebrating a good old friend’s marriage. Some of the best damn speeches I’ve heard in a wedding too. Congrats to Mike and Rob, you got a whole lot of people that love you so much!

Sleepy boy

Beach day

So proud of this woman. She’s already the bravest soul in our little family. Now she’s walking the walk on helping people outside her work. She goes for things she wants to do better than almost anyone I know. While the work being an adv... https://samfiske.net/2026/04/01/so-proud-of-this-woman.html

New to La Mesa, was curious who would show out for a little protest. Turns out quite a few! Enjoying this community more and more

Proud to host a successful with my brilliant colleague and friend, Léa. Not often do we get to meet in person, so we cherish the time when we do :). Another Startup Showcase in the books.

Ditto for journalism. Science (outside the most investable) and media need a reset on how the survive the whims of an administration or wealthy owners

I will vote for the presidential candidate who makes it a priority to break up this monopoly

And here I thought it was just my old millennial ass buying bargain bin discs at record shops. It’s fun!

Gosh a breakfast burrito really does keep me full the whole day

No hate to Hasan but I like this “dickhead? Ignore” mantra as a wellness practice

I really thought this was the ol FTL game for a second, than BTC came into view

Some community bonding with the If You See Me You See Me crowd

I found this article clarifying in what is a journalist today, vs a creator adhering to an algorithm. This Nick guy says he’s not aligned with any party. Yet, his irresponsible Somali daycare video was the precursor to the surge in ICE deployments in Minneapolis.

What an account found by this reporter, saving an ICE agent having seizures, and still being treated like this www.startribune.com/detained-by-...

A good day with a good boy (and girl)

A lot of doozies in this New Yorker piece about Bari Weiss and idk what’s worse, being completely out of depth at cbs or her partner writing about their daughter cancelling them later in life www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

Ok I did the dictionary thing. I need to find some based activities

Going to be thinking about this while hearing cbs is first to report the US bombed Venezuela

Support Dave!

For years now, moderates have decried the division of identity politics of Democrats, ignoring of course that the Republican Party was defined by identity politics itself — the identity of whiteness. Now that it’s explicit the inability to call it out and to cover it aptly is starkly disappointing.

Bookmarking this for better understanding. Misinfo is an economy. Once I think about that, it makes a lot more sense Mapping the online manipulation economy | Science

He made the game winning pass lol. Unsubscribed

Didnt know Walgreens was struggling, bought by PE, and now does stuff like this. But good plug to read Bad Company by Megan Greenwell www.independent.co.uk/us/money/wal...

No dog in this fight but this salacious little teaser piece is like peak reality tv for j-school types www.telos.news/p/part-1-how...

Some of the smartest people I grew up with all jump on this same gibberish jargon, speaking to no average person. And I hate to see it. Like you could do anything with those wits and affluence and this is where you end up. Praising power hedgers with market-structure experience. Sorry, wut?

Going to miss this walk.

Love the taco issue, but the SD Magazine cover featured a now long gone taco shop on Turquoise, can’t eat em anymore 😕
