+1 to this. i have taken to trying to do a 30 minute jog on the treadmill most days and it has done wonders for my health and general state of mind.
not gonna evangelize about it but tbh coming to understand the value of cardio is one of the biggest positive changes I've made of any kind to my adult life, for whatever that's worth
Fitness gurus are always knocking cardio. Well, the elliptical is super effectively for weight loss. It’s low impact so you can do it for long time periods, every day. I can burn 800-1000 calories in an hour. I can do it daily. I lost 100 lbs once doing nothing but that damned boring elliptical.

Police in the US do their best to kill and maim protesters on a regular basis.
Those who aren't maimed or killed, prosecutors do their best to bury under the jail.
And cops work with armed right-wing vigilantes to kill even more.
And yet people are still coming out. It takes immense courage.

European policing is generally anchored in the European Convention on Human Rights, which mandates that deadly force be used only when "absolutely necessary".
In America, we have the "warrior cop" mentality coupled with qualified immunity. It's almost unheard of for officers to face discipline.

In 2019, the rate of fatal police shootings in the US was 3.1 per million residents. By contrast, the rate in France was 0.14 per million, and in Germany, it was lower.
In Germany, police officers discharged a total of 85 bullets at people in the entire year of 2011.

I’ve said it and I believe it is true
There is a willful forgetting and suppression of the memory of the hundreds of protests that shook this nation for the past decade and a half. So while Canadians and European laypeople whine “Americans don’t do anything,” the Americans are actively suppressed

I'm mentioning this b/c the folks who hatched the grand theocratic plot to overthrow American pluralist democracy were smart & sophisticated. That's why it's so astonishing that the people they've picked to push the project across the finish line are such blathering idiots.

I see this on the right - the idea that the existence of foreign academic staff and faculty are evidence of discrimination against natives. It's not discrimination, its selection: academia is a global marketplace, the US is the biggest center of that market. So yes, some foreign talent will win.
Striking nativist editorializing by the federal judge who just upheld the $100,000 tax on high-skill immigrants.
She opines that it’s “troubling” that universities hire talent from abroad at all, instead of only native grads.
Then admits (!) that opinion is irrelevant (So why write it? Venting?)
