A conversation thread I stumbled upon a year or two ago while doing my social media rounds that has lived rent free in my brain ever since was on the topic of hobbies, which, coincidentally, happens to be the theme of today’s roundup (WHAT ARE THE CHANCES??? literal chills).
This thread was in response to a statement that adults with hobbies, and not just like “oh I like reading” kind of hobbies, but those who centered large parts of their non-working lives around a single passion, did so because they are boring people with no creativity or ability to fill their time in meaningful ways so they have to center it on something like pickleball or coloring books etc. I’ve brought this topic up with friends over the years and am always surprised by the responses, with some enthusiastically agreeing and others saying this take is nothing short of whack. I fall somewhere in the middle, thinking that this likely applies to a percentage of people who are enthusiastic about one single activity, but definitely not all. What are *your* thoughts?

(quick side note... a friend from Philadelphia told me that she recently joined a club where everyone is assigned a recipe from a specific cookbook and then they all turn up at a park and share the foods they made??? THIS IS MY DREAM HOBBY AND I WANT SOMEONE TO START THIS IN THE HUDSON VALLEY. I AM AT CAPACITY AND CAN NOT TAKE THIS ON BUT I WILL GLADLY PROMOTE AND ATTEND XOXOXOXO)

AND NOW- a HOBBIES roundup to brighten that Sunday feed. HAPPY WEEKEND FRIENDS! Thanks for being here XO

If there’s one actor who has earned the title of cinema’s ultimate shape-shifter, it’s Christian Bale.

For The Machinist (2004), Bale dropped to an astonishing 54 kg, transforming himself into the skeletal Trevor Reznik. The physical change was so extreme that it became one of the most talked-about actor transformations in film history.

Just months later, he began rebuilding his body for Batman Begins, eventually reaching roughly 86–90 kg as Bruce Wayne and Batman. Going from 54 kg to nearly 90 kg in such a short period remains one of the most dramatic physical turnarounds ever seen on screen.

But Bale’s transformations didn’t stop there. For American Hustle, he gained weight and reached around 103 kg, adopting an entirely different physique. Then, for Vice, he again climbed to approximately 95–100 kg to portray Dick Cheney, combining the weight gain with prosthetics, altered posture, mannerisms, and a completely different voice.

That’s a swing of nearly 50 kg between some of his most famous roles.

Most actors transform their appearance. Christian Bale transforms his entire existence. From an emaciated insomniac to Batman to Dick Cheney, few performers in cinema history have pushed their bodies further in service of a character.

Joshua Jackson and model Olivia Burgess were spotted hand-in-hand in NYC on Sunday. The pair were all smiles as they strolled through The Bowery Hotel before heading to Il Buco, where a source says they lingered over drinks late into the night. 📸TheImageDirect

My type of alligator roll

What did we learn from the Enhanced Games kids?!

Option A: PEDs don’t work
Option B: Breaking records is way more difficult than they made it seem
Option C: World records were likely broken by S tier athletes who were already sauced
Option D: We can’t compare S tier athletes to B tier retire athletes

What’s your take?

A mysterious ring. A lone Spartan.

This is Halo completely rebuilt.

This is Halo: Campaign Evolved.
