Hey Fellow Wolves -

In last week’s intro, I gave you a sneak peek into what Wolf & Wire is all about. But I wanted to dig a little deeper this week, because this isn’t just a place to share cool links or the latest tech. It’s about something bigger—navigating the stuff life throws at us, especially as we hit that point where things start to shift.

Like a lot of guys our age, I’ve noticed that friendships fade, stress builds up, and sometimes, we just need a place to connect—even if it’s through a screen. This newsletter isn’t just my outlet for random thoughts; it’s about scratching that itch for real conversation, tackling mental health in subtle ways, and keeping life interesting, all while staying true to who we are.

So, as we kick off week two, just know that Wolf & Wire is more than entertainment—it’s a reminder that you’re not alone in this journey. Now, let’s get into the good stuff.

The Radar (news and shit)

• NSA says turn off your phone once a week. - Here’s why.

• Octopi hunting together and punching fish that get out of line. Better not get out of line, Nemo.

• DO NOT INSTALL WINDOWS 11 UPDATE Microsoft admits it can cause havoc

• They did it. The crazy sons of bitches did it. SocialAI is an app designed to let users interact with a fully AI-driven social network. I don’t like this at all.

Lookie Here (cool shit)

• Best ChatGPT prompts. This isn’t the best format, but it’s full of damn good gems.

• I want to love you like an animal. If NIN was Yacht Rock. Shut up and take my money.

• Remember NBA JAM? These guys membas.

What’s movie(s) did you watch way to young? (let’s be social)

I’ve got sooooooo many. Right off hand, I would just say Robocop just for the shotgun scene, but my cousins somehow had a hoard of Troma flicks, so those take the cake. IFKYK.

Feral Legends

Peter Freuchen: The Man Who Escaped an Ice Coffin with a Poop Knife

When survival called, Peter Freuchen answered with a knife made out of literal frozen crap. This Danish explorer, born in 1886, was the definition of badass. He spent years in the Arctic, living among the Inuit and learning their survival skills firsthand. But here’s where it gets legendary: while trapped in an ice cave with no way out, Freuchen fashioned a knife from his own frozen doo doo poop and used it to break free. Yeah, that’s next-level grit.

But surviving the Arctic wasn’t enough for Freuchen. He wrote bestselling books, appeared in movies, and even stood up to the Nazis during WWII. Oh, and he casually won The $64,000 Question game show in the ‘50s. This guy lived a life most of us can’t even imagine—proving that when it comes to toughness, Freuchen was in a league of his own.

(Note: Meateater did a pretty neat debunking on this and they could only replicate what was a brown crayon consistency. I just wanted to include that.)
