Remember, these tech bro oligarchs aren’t that bright, just unscrupulous socio/psychopaths.

Oh look, it IS possible to hold people accountable!

How to transition from the back to the mount in #bjj. Options are good: for example, some people will be incredibly skilled at defending chokes and armlocks from the back, and it may be advantageous in that situation to bail from one dominant position to another.

MAGA. And an embarrassing number of Canadians as well.

Talk about blaming the victim. Good for you @destiny.gg

Training the open canoe roll, a technically difficult maneuver, in the gym, in the pool, and in the wild when it really counts

A Russian asset meddling with an election.

What’s the point of having a social media platform if you’re not prepared to burn it to the ground in a a a support of doing the right thing?

When I saw the short clips of Joe Rogan criticizing the American Gestapo, I thought there was a chance he was changing his mind on supporting Trump. This amazing episode of the @knowrogan.bsky.social podcast convinced me I was wrong open.spotify.com/episode/6gxT...

To get good at ANY submission you need to understand the counter and recounter game. Here are 2 basic and 2 advanced answers for when your opponent tries to step over your head when you're attacking him with the omoplata: www.youtube.com/watch?v=q_6I... #BJJ

Who knows this guy: "I’m not a conservative, I'm a centrist who just believes in good old common sense" *immediately regurgitates every single conspiratorial alt-right talking point*

If you’re losing your mind about water vapor contrails, then wait till you hear about nuclear fallout..

Dear MAGA, I often get accused of calling anyone I disagree with the fascist, but there are many people I disagree with who are not fascists. Fascism has a specific and a number of recurrent characteristics, and right now the MAGA movement checks every single box: www.keene.edu/academics/cc...

The comparison between these two incredibly well funded militias loyal, only to the Dear Leader, should be obvious to anyone with half a brain

The turn of the BJJ, MMA, and Filipino Martial Arts communities towards fascism is dizzying and profoundly disappointing. I once had this idea that training martial arts would inherently make you a better person - I was wrong.

How to make the most important choke in BJJ super tight!!

On this episode of The Scenic Route Podcast we talked bears, bears and more bears. open.spotify.com/episode/0ISu...

Yes, this guy is a despicable clown but he’s doing his job which is to occupy our attention while Stephen Miller - his chief of staff and the guy who is actually running the US government -speed runs the implementation of the Heritage Foundation’s fascist agenda.

This is a pretty amazing summary of Trump’s meeting with the oil companies yesterday. Absolutely bananas! vt.tiktok.com/ZS5b66xvr/

The symptoms of measles, spotted in a hospital today. We had this disease essentially eradicated and now thanks to Joe Rogan, RFK Jr, Joe Mercola, Trump and the rest, we are well on our way to finding out why HALF of children died before age 5 during the Middle Ages.

I've frequently been asked about loneliness on my extended solo expeditions deep in the wilderness, going many weeks without encountering another human being. The truth is that I've never been lonely in the wilderness, and here are my best guesses at why this is... youtu.be/5EWRR_WRoj4?...

To Canadian cheering on the invasion of Venezuela, consider that Trump has frequently and publicly advocated for annexing Canada, as have a whole bunch of MAGAt talking heads. To use a WW2 analogy, Venezuela might be the Sudetenland in the Czechoslovak Republic, Canada might be Poland.

See!!! Trump’s name is nowhere to be found. Checkmate liberals!!

Hmmmm, is this going to help or hinder the US tourism industry? www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...

Earlier in this trip, I had been stymied by millions of square meters of thick ice blowing back-and-forth across the lake and smashing up on the shores like an air hockey puck. I finally got clear, then came across one last remnant of ice clinging on despite the fact that it was now mid July

Good morning to Brazilian reporter Manuela Borges, who’s been waiting eleven years for this petty moment. ❤️ 🇧🇷

True story: I spent a long time creating a 10 minute video called “5 Reasons You Need a Spraydeck for Your Canoe”. It was good but it it needed a little more ooompf, so then I spent a ridiculous amount of time setting up this 5 second greenscreen shot. Full vid here: youtu.be/lF1rorGtGtY?...

Threaten Canadians with invasion and 51st state BS enough times, and we will collapse your tourism revenue, increase the size of our military, AND freedom fry your ass.

The hex bar deadlift combines the best aspects of the squat and the regular deadlift. It’s so good for posterior strength, but still relatively safe

All the Leaked Epstein Emails here: Please Share! krassencast.com/p/all-the-le...

Whenever news breaks that’s damaging to MAGA and the fascist project - the latest Epstein emails about Trump, or the huge layoff numbers for example - I head over to Fox News and see if they’re covering it. I’m never not disappointed. MAGAts are quite simply living in an alternate reality

Very few emergencies are made better by panic, so how do we develop the emotional continence required for problem-solving when all hell is breaking loose? www.linkedin.com/pulse/delibe...

I know, I know. I’ve been a little tapped out lately. Thanks for the messages and check ins. Life is lifing; A LOT, & the US is on fire. So aside from catching up on Twitter here & there, checking in here-I’ve been a little overwhelmed w/news (& under the weather). All is well, I promise Xoxox -J
