just so we're clear, my skeets are to be read with the voice of a worn out but slightly fruity russian man, thank you very much

Not sure what the Bluesky consensus on acupuncture is but damnit, the thing I miss most about LA is the weird man I'd see who'd shove needles in my neck...

Never forget this: The forces rigging our economy, undermining our democracy, polluting our planet, and stoking hatred are counting on you to give up. Cynicism is how they win. Stay clear-eyed and ready for the fight ahead.

Some weirdo on Twitter has been absolutely melting down for like 36 straight hours because I posted:

When this is over, do not forget what ICE did, and what ICE is. And do not make room for them in society. Make sure they know that they are, and will continue to be, reviled and beneath contempt.

For now these thoughts can be summed up as: thankfully, taking great pride in one's body and giving much of a shit about one's health + fitness does not mean slowly killing oneself via anabolics and starvation in the name of aesthetics.

(For once, I won't be just pulling these thoughts out of my ass because that is an area I have personal experience with, for better or worse)

Whenever I open this site I imagine you're stood in front of me, screaming at me to get off (or on) my ass and finally write the damn threads...

Got some things to say about bodybuilding, which I'll be adding to my list of threads I say I'm gonna post on here but never actually get around to doing and feel extremely guilty about it

I hope my neighbour's watching a *documentary* about sumo wrestling at six in the morning and not something else related to sumo wrestling...

“We can give $20 billion to Argentina but we can’t afford the CDC’s measles experts” is a hell of an argument

Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: “No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”

I for one refuse to find out what a "Morning Glory Milking Farm" is and I'm not very fond of how many times I've seen that combination of words over the last few days ❤️

"[A] phrase in the Hebrew version about an undisclosed annex."

"[I]f Hamas fails to release all Israeli captives [in 72 hours], dead and alive, a 'secret clause' [..] would be 'activated'" and end the ceasefire.

Hamas "denied the [clause's] existence."
#Gaza #Palestine #Israel #USA #Genocide

The Israeli media is reporting on a ‘secret clause’ in the Gaza ceasefire deal that no one is talking about

Hebrew-language Israeli media reports say there is a “secret clause” buried in the Gaza ceasefire agreement that would allow Israel to resume the war. Palestinians worry this is the pretext Netanyahu…

the idea that freedom is in our DNA is just a misinterpretation of the fact that we’re a nation of finicky whiners who don’t like to be personally inconvenienced

The Ass is the father of the legs @internethippo.bsky.social · 16h

At least we no longer have to hear about freedom being in Americans' DNA or whatever. Turns out we love to eat shit and bow to some bloated halfwit like any other people throughout history

They have fired the staff of the CDC’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report and 70 Epidemic Intelligence Service officers, who are disease detectives that respond to outbreaks around the world.

I cannot emphasize enough how dangerous it is to dismantle our disease surveillance infrastructure.
