Officially at or above 100 lbs on all my big 4 lifts as of today.

Flat bench - 155 lbs; standing barbell overhead press - 100 lbs; deadlift - 210 lbs; squat - 200 lbs.

Five years post-grad spent as a completely sedentary drug addict prior to these last 12 weeks makes this all the sweeter.

Neither of these deadbeat sexually predatory frauds give a single fuck about you.

These Eric Cartman-esque cringe-y facsist morons are yelling this in your faces and laughing at you after.

They’re enjoying our suffering.

If you are indifferent or even neutral about this stupid deadbeat, you’re not paying attention.

If you are cheering this or trying to decipher some “4D Chess” move from this disgraceful reptile - you are the mark, an idiot, and a bootlicker.

What a sad, insecure little dork.

Trump Sick And Tired Of Mainstream Media Always Trying To Put His Words Into Some Sort Of Context
NEW YORK—Emphasizing that the practice was just more evidence of journalists’ bias against him, Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump stated Thursday that he was sick and tired of the mainstream media always attempting to place his words into some kind of context. “The corrupt news media is constantly taking the things I say and putting them within the larger context of politics and global events—it’s absolutely sickening what they do,” said Trump, adding that many of the comments he has made—including his call yesterday for Russia to hack into the emails of his presidential opponent Hillary Clinton and publish the contents—had been repeatedly and unfairly contextualized with relevant facts about the world and pertinent information about the situation in which they were stated. “It’s completely shameful to take words I’ve spoken or written and try to connect them to some kind of objective reality. I say something, and the next thing I know, a crooked reporter is telling everyone what I said along with a fact-based explanation of what its implications are and why it matters. It’s ridiculous, and it has to stop.” Trump added that he would not hesitate to ban any news organization from his campaign that continued to twist his statements by implying they held any specific meaning about or relation to the world we inhabit.

To the White House’s social team, probs young and maybe earlier in their career:

I hope y’all are at least getting paid well right now, which you most likely aren’t. Your “deliverables” will be in history and business textbooks - for the worst reasons. Sleep well.

PSA: If you think you even MAYBE have sleep apnea, go to the doctor.

This will be my first night using this APAP machine. I apparently need it to keep my airway open while asleep.

During the sleep study that earned me this, my SpO2 hit 78% at one point. I snore like a chainsaw. My AHI was 72.5.

“Poland should have never started WWII by getting forcibly surprise invaded in 1939. They actually prolonged the war with Germany by not giving up their territory sooner and, ‘doing a deal’ with the Nazi’s.”

Jesus fucking Christ.
Trump accused Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky of starting the war in Ukraine, saying he “should have never started it” and “could have made a deal.” He also criticized Ukraine for being “surprised” about missing Saudi-hosted peace talks.

We straight up just let this fraud lie his ass off to get elected to skirt prison time.

Now that more people will start to feel the squeeze of his universally rejected economic “negotiating tactics,” those who voted for this douche will point to 10 trans athletes and say he’s “keeping promises.”

Vibe of the day: Man Made of Meat by Viagra Boys

open.spotify.com/track/05IdqH...

My new track I show people when they ask why I like Viagra Boys so much or if they’re unfamiliar with their work, and it’s only been out a few days.

Amazing lyrics, head-boppable, catchy as hell chorus. Brilliant.

THIS. FREE SPEECH IS NOT FREEDOM FROM CONSEQUENCES OF SAYING DANGEROUS/DUMB SHIT.

The modern NeoCon “thinker,” in a nutshell:

They want to be persecuted so, SO badly, that they behave like Eric Cartman and say vile things and fucking snivel and whine when called out for being an objective POS.
i think people who complain about the language police are, by and large, just cowards. say whatever you want! no one is going to stop you. but people may judge you or even, if you say the wrong thing in front of the wrong person, pop you in the mouth. but that’s life!

Current pop country music captures the movement of the right. Hardly any singing about poverty, relationships, or making one’s way in a tough world, but countless songs that go like “I don’t give a fuck if you hate my fifty thousand dollar truck.” No one even knew about your truck bro, relax
