Inconsequential take Crossfit became popular because its the only form of group fitness men can participate in a way that doesnt threaten their masculinity in the current fitness culture. Class style fitness like insanity, bodypump, pilates is typically seen as “feminine” in the fitness scene.

Any time you post about something outside the USA on this app, you are met with people orientalizing and massively oversimplifying complex situations. It is incredibly frustrating, and it is why I generally do not engage here about the things I cover in Myanmar and Kurdistan.

me: posts an analysis of various revolutions that were built from local councils, including the so-far uncontested fact that the Russian revolution started that way before Lenin consolidated power and disenfranchised the soviets. bsky: "yeah makes sense" substack: "sure" IG: "You are the CIA."

Conservatism is a form of mental constipation, no flow forward.

You get the neurons moving?

There are two weeks until my election, and AIPAC has spent $150,000 to create the worst attack out against me I have ever seen. Let’s watch it:

You dont say….

This feels like a helpful primer for understanding AI in general. It makes programmers more efficient on the front end because they can generate more code. But it makes them less efficient afterwards because it vastly increases the amount of time they spend tweaking and fixing bugs.

@jamesstout.bsky.social I cant wait to get reading ❤️

They have zero interest in a democratic process. They just want their king to replace trump.

This further validates my fear that the “anti-mRNA” sentiment in government is going to slow or block the progress of potential mRNA cancer vaccines. Why invest into an expensive mRNA vaccine that might get arbitrarily blocked when you can churn out small molecule drugs for MUCH cheaper?

“Four of my children just evaporated,” Badran said, holding back tears. “I looked for them a million times. Not a piece was left. Where did they go?” There are no words to adequately describe the evil here.

Been thinking a bit about the way that John Brockman acted as Epstein's scientist collector and would organize dinners where Epstein would just happen to show up and I think a lesson here for *white scientists* is if you're being invited to all-white events, that might be actively intentional 🧪

This is going to fundementally delay research into developmentally associated pathologies. Concerned about whats safe for a developing fetus? We have one less molecular model to answer that question. #stem #trump #NIH

it's never the crazy weird conspiracy theory weapons. they are poisoning you with toxins they are well-documented to have. they are beating you with ordinary sticks and shooting you with ordinary guns the only conspiracy is how they gained legal immunity to do this

This abstract low key feels like the beginning of a speech about why we should all unionize our workplaces as academics.

You used to be able to "inspect element" in this country. You used to be able to download video

ICE abducted a man in minneapolis on january 6. by january 14, he was dead in a concentration camp in texas. victor manuel diaz was 36 years old. they say he did it to himself. ICE murdered him.

If you live in the Cities, an easy way to help immigrant families in hiding is: laundry! Laundromats are ICE magnets, so people without washers need help. The People’s Laundry will drop off laundry to your door to wash and dry and pick up a few days later: thepeopleslaundrympls.com/volunteer/

Another journal selling out the truth in the presence of political power

Oh yeah, Massachusetts is prepping. Apparently this bakery had anti-ice cookies and received death threats. They won't be open their usual hours tomorrow. Not out of fear, out of baked goods. They completely sold out and need to spend tomorrow restocking. fallriverreporter.com/massachusett...

donald trump has received the nobel peace prize in the way that michael scott declared bankruptcy

i remember seeing photos of paraphernalia found in the pockets of ISIS fighters displayed in a similar way

The idea that our bodies are chock full of microplastics has been freaking folks out for a while, but scientists aren't so sure it's right 🧪 www.theguardian.com/environment/... Check out our ep on this, from May: "Is There Really a Plastic Spoon in Our Brains?" open.spotify.com/episode/2ZwZ...

Just so people outside of MN know - a lot of the US citizens getting “arrested” by ICE never get processed at Whipple. They are roughed up during the arrest and then often dropped off miles from where they were picked up. It means we don’t know the true scale of what ICE is doing based on ICE stats

I was supposed to be in bed an hour ago but sending links and videos to people so they know to avoid the green gas (zinc chloride). Once a lab steward, always a lab steward. Seriously, I was a chemist twenty years ago, you do NOT want heavy metal toxicity. It fucks you up in weird ways.

Seeing Zohran instantly getting a bunch of shit done in like a week makes you realize that politicians could always do that on some level if they wanted it bad enough and very few of them actually do.

🚨"They're pulling it from the fascist playbook...Governor Walz, if you are listening, if you are watching, activate the national guard. I was in the National Guard. This is what we are for. WE NEED HELP. Defend your citizens. We need help. We can not do this alone. LIVE NOW ⬇️

California has some of the best natural environment in the country with the worst built environment in the country.

@sciencevs.bsky.social podcast by wendy zuckerman does an incredible deep dive on this. WOULD BE COOL TO SEE YALL COLLAB

Libertarianism as americans use it is inherently contradictory, so if libertarians took their own values seriously they would be anarcists.

I might not be money rich, but I’m rich in time because I wont have to count cells manually at my new postdoc. #suckithemocytometer #stem

so much to cover right now, but a thread i just want to throw out there from my reporting is that the car rental market in minneapolis is reportedly totally screwed up right now because ICE has cleared the inventory. rental companies should have to answer for supplying vehicles used in terror.

None of these people should be able to work in our industry again

& dont forget gambling on literally anything and everything

Nah I cant stand litter boxes and gross cans of meat. Vegan Dogs (bunnies) >>>>> cats

This is so true. Its a special kind of american brain rot to believe every issue can be divided into two “sides”, when its ALWAYS more nuanced.

I had red beans and rice with my friends today :)

Ok but go have chicken and waffles then tell me you hate it

The anti government militias were never anti government, they just hate Black people.

if you still believe "don't take Trump literally, listen to him symbolically" in 2026 you are not intelligent enough to qualify as sentient.

mfs posting "general strike now!" we can't even get you to stop supporting Amazon and Starbucks

This is a good example of how what our leaders deem acceptable at “war” will eventually be deemed acceptable in home policing. Calling Palestinian children human shields, and getting away with it, is why this is now considered acceptable by the establishment. It always comes back around.
