The biggest mistake liberalism made was to watch conservatives worship the constitution and “the founders” like idols for decades and believe they really meant it. The constitution and the rule of law they hold dear are the versions in their heads where they get to do whatever they are want.

What if, and stick with me here, The Outcomes are the part of politics people actually give a shit about and the process means nothing to anyone outside of it.

One of the best to ever do it

"We are going to win against Donald Trump, but we have a much bigger victory that we need to be aiming for. We need to Reconstruct this country. We must put liberal democracy on the right footing to face the challenges of the era we live in."

Canvas used to be helpful but that time has passed. Last semester I gravitated some of my course materials off Canvas. This coming semester I will pull off even more.

Cannot wait for the flashbacks that flesh out his character in season 2 because my man wasn’t just born Like That.

My name is Manousos Oviedo. You have killed my world. Prepare to die.

Reminder that years ago it was found out that the FBI straight up made up a whole bunch of fake forensic sciences, plural. People have gone to jail and been executed due to literally pseudoscience. Hair forensics, for instance, is totally nonsense. They admitted it. slate.com/news-and-pol...

man they really don't make em like Manousos Oviedo

this is a cycle i have observed with a lot of issues in the social media age, at least since i started paying attention to how debates worked ca. 2010-11

I started commuting by bike in law school and quickly found it was great way to rewire my brain from experiencing life as going in a box (car) to other boxes (offices, classrooms, stores, apartments, etc…).

some fellow powerless rando might make annoying posts about 'yaaaaay mtg is great', but that's just annoying. much worse is all the people with actual power putting their time, energy, and money into whitewashing her and treating her as an important figure to focus on and appeal to

I’d say it probably does matter how many people are looking to positively embrace people like her but it’s weird how many people conflate ‘this is a good thing’ with ‘this is a good person.’

i completely understand people responding with “i don’t believe/trust her“ which is obviously valid but also seems to me to be beside the point. the significance of this isn’t that MTG is Good, Actually (lol no) but that incentives have shifted significantly in less than a year

Realizing cynicism doesn't equal intelligence was a hard lesson i learned in my 20s

it took the Tories 15 years of fucking everything up to obliterate their party. Keir Starmer did it in 18 months

well this is certainly something

Absolutely going to evangelize about it: working to get out of the cardio mindset I was taught (suffer as hard as possible to 'earn' calories to eat) into the cardio mindset I wanted (a lovely slow nature run to help my brain and my heart) was one of the best things I've ever done. Good luck!

On New Year's Day 2024, Ethiopia announced that it had signed an agreement to establish a naval base of the coast of Somaliland, in exchange for becoming the first state to recognize Somaliland. It's unclear to what extent Ethiopia, a client state of the UAE, acted on its own volition.

THREAD: on Friday, Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu announced that Israel would recognize Somaliland, an autonomous breakaway republic in northern Somalia, as an independent state. This makes Israel the first state to officially recognize Somaliland, since it's 1991 declaration of independence.

The ability to ask these questions as if they weren‘t stupid & dishonest has been a key aim of both the new world-wide right-wing movement and of the Kremlin. They want us to think there‘s no truth, only opinion; no morality, only power; that all choices are morally equivalent, & only tribe matters.

Excited to announce GOLLUM, an app that helps you focus on your most precious possession!

Right there with you on cardio. Wrote this in 2019; went running this morning.

No one is reading long form. The emergence of the post-literacy world is accompanied by the rise of Medieval Peasant Brain, a mental soup of superstition and magical thinking... We see this most clearly in the mainstreaming of xenophobia, conspiracies, quack medicines, and naked fascism.

its been said before but bolsonaro is the platonic ideal of the rw scare line abt how people would use universal healthcare and honestly I support it. get surgery for hiccups. get extensive physical therapy for a charlie horse. undergo months of outpatient for your hangnail. I want that for everyone

this is the truth. Sweet Baby loves the jogging stroller and everybody in the neighborhood helps watch out for her (and me or Mama) while she's in it, it is very wholesome

People just don’t realize that cardio’s primary benefit is almost never weight loss, a thing it is inefficient for compared to simply planning out your calories/macros to be at a slight deficit for a couple months. The main benefit is to your cardiovascular health, which can also be life changing!

Lfg high vo2 max socrates

I agree with this (not arguing!) but also think that women specifically might need different messaging, because I know a lot of women who do a whole lot of cardio but aren't building the strength they need to keep them stable & sound into old age. There's a big "strength training = masculine" thing.

Odobert earned more minutes IMO. Looked a different side once we took Kolo out

A hard fought much needed win. palace arent shite & are well drilled in their system. sometimes when a team has been struggling a win like that is v welcome. the fans at the ground loved it. two disallowed goals, one shot hit inside the post & some great crosses - better chances than Palace had

I’m old enough to have lived through the rise in the sufferfest training mindset where everyone went all out high intensity but with new power meter numbers and it turns out fitness marketing can’t overcome people getting their brakes beat off by the folks who just do tons of riding for fun

Went to my 30th high school reunion. Split between those whose fear of the PE teachers kept us from voluntary exercise until our mid-20s, and those pushed through rugby to the point of having knees and hips replaced by 45, and living in constant pain.

honestly an ugly win but it's good to know we can see out a 1-0 lead in our present form #COYS

love to see minutes for Johnson but wondering if Dragusin is match fit

Kolo Muani did well today, hopefully Bentancur can see the match out. #COYS

Spurs look totally disjointed other than the disallowed goal. hurts to watch #COYS

One of the funniest developments in sports over the last generation was watching sports science bros lecture old boxing coaches about how road work is a waste of time, and watching the old boxing heads laugh at them and call them nerds. 1/2

not gonna evangelize about it but tbh coming to understand the value of cardio is one of the biggest positive changes I've made of any kind to my adult life, for whatever that's worth

If anything the crime has been underplayed. They knew these men were mostly innocent. They knew they’d be tortured. They sent them to CECOT not out of recklessness but because they thought it would enjoyable for their supporters to see innocent Latinos tortured. An intentional crime of violence.

Bravo!

Man, this. Also poorly trained counselors. My brothers counsels very smart kids from poor backgrounds and told me that many don’t apply to places like Duke and Chicago because they google sticker price, laugh to themselves, and move on without understanding they aren’t gonna pay anything near that.

“it is illegal for you not to like me”

I like big butts and I cannot tell if social norms allow me to say so
