Jocko Podcast is great. It has a heavy focus on self-discipline and leadership. Most episodes consist of Jocko taking a book (mostly war memoirs, although he has delved into Shakespeare and some other fiction too) and breaking them down in terms of responsibility, overcoming hardship and owning mistakes, plus some historical context including examples from his career in the SEAL teams. He also occasionally has guests on, one guy who survived being a POW in Vietnam for six years, other military personnel who bounced back from serious injuries and guys who were in the teams with him. Harley Flannigan from Cro-Mags was also on at one point, that one's a fantastic listen. Dude has lives an absolutely bananas life in the hardcore scene.

You're missing out, dude. What makes you say that? I recently got done with the Culture series by Iain M. Banks. I've never read such fiercely creative SF as his, they really stretch your mind. Currently, I'm about 4/5 through Parliament of Whores or "A Lone Humorist Attempts to Explain the Entire US Government" by PJ O'Rourke which for a book written in 1991 is still surprisingly relevant. I guess for as much as has changed, things really do stay the same.

London is a dope place to go shooting. You can bounce between such wildly different styles of architecture and scenery from street to street that it's impossible not to come across something inspiring. I've been on a mad concrete/brutalism trip for the past year and half, this is one of my favourite shots so far.

Nikon D610 when I'm on a mission. Fuji X10 for play. I'm looking to upgrade my main body soon though, after ~150 shots the amount of oil and dust on the sensor is ridiculous. Nothing I do seems to make a difference, save obsessive cleaning. The D600 had that issue out of the box but allegedly it was fixed by the time the 610 came out. Any recommendations? I want to stick with Nikon if possible, the F-mount system is dope. I love being able to use lenses from the 1970s on modern cameras.

My Mum wears North Face, it's alright.
