There we are.

“Secretary Hegseth’s misogynistic lethality screed was disqualifying. His continued railing against women in combat roles shows his deep personal inadequacies,” said the first defense official. “It shocks the conscience to hear the Secretary of Defense — he is no warrior — endorse bullying and hazing of service members. How dare this former National Guard major lecture our military leaders on lethality when he’s focused solely on his own cult of personality.”

Mileage goals based on race achedule mostly. A little peer pressure.

I know, right! So much more motivating. I think it relfects my training, absolutely. I'm just not convinced it tells me much more than I've been running a lot

Contact with water is what let's the CHEMICALS diffuse into your bloodstream. Everybody knows it, but the experts AND BIG WATER don't want to admit it.

Also there's this very specialized kind of MIRACLE SALT, that I just happen to sell, which neutralizes all that and makes showing safe.Buy It!

Sometimes I lay in bed at night tossing and turning at the fact that the metric system has this beautiful, intentional relationship between 1ml, 1cc, & 1g of water and that we in the US stubbornly use a system that's worse in every way

Today I discovered that Garmin graphs VO2 Max with decimal points! Not sure how much stock I put in this metric, but wow this is more motivating than 5 months of an unchanging flat line! The nuance!

The scale is whole numbers. How far I've fallen and how eager I am to climb back!

With DC's back against the wall, and arguably no good options to choose from Mayor Bowser still chose the wrong.

You're either for Home Rule or you're not. I'm so disappointed and frustrated by the Mayor's stance.

Martin Austermuhle @maustermuhle.bsky.social · Aug 27

In response to a number of questions from reporters, Bowser declined to say that she would oppose Trump pushing to extend this surge past 30 days, as he has said he wants to do.

This is a moral moment for DC. Washingtonians are being taken off the streets and charged with crimes that even grand juries won’t indict. Residents are scared to leave their homes, and workers are scared to go to their jobs. All while they drag our city through the mud. This is wrong. Call it out.

Is this some new hustle or do I just give off "loves pickup soccer games with the fam and definitely has kids" vibes?

Author 1 Hey! Any plans tonight? Was thinking of doing a pick up soccer game with our families again if you are down!

Author 1 Yeah for sure!

If Democrats ever take back power and this horrifying clown ever leaves office, once we're done restoring law and order, prosecuting fascists and all that, statehood for DC had better fucking be an indisputable national priority for the Democratic Party and pursued with vigor

Fuck it's bleak here

For nearly two weeks straight Trump has escalated his attempt to take over DC. Federal agents are now violently profiling, harassing, and arresting Black and Brown DC community members and their presence is a severe danger to people here.

Join us today at 3 PM to demand FEDERAL FORCES OUT NOW.

DC demands federal forces out now. Press conference + rally. Today, August 18, at 3 PM. 14th St & U St. NW.
