I hate working out. I don’t get the endorphins from it that other people seem to talk about. Directly, no. I didn’t get anything from it.
But…
I look good. People speak to me differently. I have more and better sex. Better for quality makes me not feel like shit all the time. My personal image has changed and I time myself depressed a lot less.

Holy shit!! This is great news. Hey - if we just raise temperatures globally, that could solve our micro plastics problem. Now… How do we get the ball rolling on this new “global warming” idea?

Scotus has clearly demonstrated that it is no longer a legitimate institution. It’s be fine with both sides ignoring them until they can demonstrate that they’ve cleaned house.
For the second time this month the Biden administration is bypassing Congress to approve an emergency weapons sale to Israel as Israel continues to prosecute its war against Hamas in Gaza under increasing international criticism.
You’re really not getting it, are you? With the assault in Ukraine, the US MIL got the opportunity to clear out some old stock and potentially divert world war 3 into a stalemate. It was great for a bit. The gaza conflict gives the US a greater opportunity to really play to its strengths and pursue a thread of great historic national interest… Bombing brown people.
There’s potentially oil there that needs freedom, and nobody exports more freedom for oil than the US
/S …I think? I’m having a bit of an Idiocracy moment right now.
It’s a good thing she told all of the right people that this happened so that we could avoid an obvious coup and threat to the constitution that she swore an oath to protect…
Rep. Matt Gaetz is planning to attempt to oust Speaker Kevin McCarthy from the role this week after the House leader worked with Democrats to avoid a government shutdown on Saturday.
You’ve clearly never taken for the ole’ poutine scam. Everywhere you buy poutine, they tell you that “this isn’t REAL poutine. You’ve gotta go to __________”. It’s always somewhere else. This poutine is in another castle. Don’t fall for it. It’s all so they can tell sell more plane tickets to Montreal.
A judge in New York expressed frustration at Donald Trump’s defense counsel while considering sanctioning the defendants and their lawyers for making frivolous arguments in the state’s civil case against the former president and others....
There’s a slate of judges who are refusing to do their jobs. There shouldn’t be another discussion about it, the lawyers were warned, and this step should be to file sanctions and report them to the bar.
A Colorado judge issued an order disallowing Trump from intimidating witnesses or officers of the court - something that is ALREADY illegal. They’re so terrified of putting him in jail for contempt.
I really liked him. Get him to the Greek is one of my favorite movies.
Innocent until proven guilty, so I’m going to hold off on judgement ( not that my judgement matters). There seems to be A LOT working against him here. He’s not cancelling tours and losing his agent if people thought this was unfair - sometimes up.
There’s a lot of rape apologists in this thread though. As much as he’s innocent before proven guilty, so is his accuser. “All it takes is an accusation to ruin a perfectly good career”. Y’all should be ashamed. That doesn’t happen without MAJOR consequences for a false accusation, as well as consequences for any media outlet that ruins the story without due diligence. It’s extremely hard to prove rape cases, meaning that if it’s gotten this far, there’s enough evidence to put it into print. This is global news, and NOBODY has come out with any compelling story as to why the accuser is lying.
Bottom line, none of us really understand what actually happened, and everyone seems too eager to write off Brand or his accuser. Chill out. More info will come.
In the same week large swaths of the US were under extreme heat warnings, Joe Biden’s Justice Department filed its most recent motion to dismiss a landmark climate case by arguing that nothing in the Constitution guarantees the right to a secure climate.
I was pretty bummed when I heard that Twitter was going to die. There are some cool moments in history that happened on Twitter. It was a hell of a ride, but the writing was on the wall well before Elon bought it. It was time to go.
But not like this.
It deserved a good death. Not to have it’s corpse raped on full display over and over.
A lot of very talented people committed so much time and energy to this. When it launched, it was a novel idea and they really forged some roads in our understanding of how we communicate and receive information.
It was clear at the end that it would never produce the kind of ROI on advertising to make investors happy, and that Nazis had clearly taken over the platform and used it to bastardize journalism further. It was time to go to pasture.
But not like this.
Hopefully its mutilated, humiliated and desiccated corpse will feed the growth of the federated web.
