After watching the film, there are two main problems here.
The first is his approach - you need to cover half the distance to the ball after your jab step so that way your body weight is forward through the motion and you aren’t lunging at the plant spot.

I think if you just write off belief as superstition, and women's belief as oppression/mind control, you struggle to comprehend a lot of what happens and come up with kind of insulting explanations instead.

On Friday, Mick Fleetwood surprised fans by playing “Tusk” with the Trojan Marching Band. But Dr. Bartner, the 85-year-old band director who helped bring it to life and earned USC two platinum, albums also surprised Mick. Inside the very L.A. story of the iconic “Tusk.”

1/ In my part of media studies (nexus of news, social, influence) there has been so much to be gloomy about the past 10 years. But nothing snaps me out of it quite like big moments where it’s clear information still is capable of penetrating the propaganda/AI slop force field. Last night was such.

Didn’t know I still had headroom to get even more appalled, but this’ll do it. When we spun the elections desk back up at MTV in 2015, Teen Vogue was the standard. They’ve BEEN the standard, this entire time.
I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.
certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.
