Its Hard To Find ANY Fitness Advice Thats Not About Looking A Way Physically (getting Thin, Getting Swole).

It’s hard to find ANY fitness advice that’s not about looking a way physically (getting thin, getting swole). Just mobility or general health fitness information is incredibly hard to come by. I suspect it’s easier and faster to sell us on short-term superficial bullshit than to sell having enough strength, endurance and flexibility to live a better life long-term.

You CAN do pullups, my friend!

I love that tumblr functions primarily as a curator of the best of other social media platforms without me having to actually go on those platforms. Those of you who go onto Twitter, Instagram and TikTok and gather my daily harvest, are doing the lords work 🙏

Looks like the pressure is working, let’s keep it up.

“U.S. President Joe Biden issued a memorandum on Thursday requiring allies who receive military aid from the U.S. to provide ‘credible and reliable written assurances’ of their adherence to international law including international human rights law,” the Times of Israel reported. Israel will need to supply written assurances within 45 days or risk loss of aid. The report added, “The memo did not mention specific countries who would be held up to the new standard, but came amid increasing calls in the U.S. to condition aid to Israel due to concerns over its military operations in Gaza which were triggered by the Oct. 7 attacks, in which Hamas terrorists murdered some 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and kidnapped 253.” No one should underestimate the impact of the decision. The Associated Press explained, “Democratic senators on Friday called Biden’s directive — meant to bring breadth, oversight, deadlines and teeth to efforts to ensure foreign governments don’t use U.S. military aid against civilians — historic.”

Biden also pressed on with intense one-on-one diplomacy. After his comment on Thursday evening that Israel had been “over the top” in Gaza, Biden engaged with Netanyahu on Sunday in a 45-minute conversation — unusually long by most diplomatic standards (and even more so given that no time had to be spent on translation with English-fluent Netanyahu). According to the White House readout, Biden insisted Israel make “credible” arrangements to protect civilians before launching a widely criticized military plan for Rafah, where civilian casualties could mount. He also pressed Netanyahu again to increase humanitarian aid to the Palestinians. Biden’s patient approach with Netanyahu over months has gradually transformed into a private and public pressure campaign. A Biden official told The Post that the leaders had “a pretty detailed back and forth on that.”

Meanwhile Trump?

Trump has said he would implement travel bans on people from certain countries or with certain ideologies, expanding on a policy upheld by the Supreme Court in 2018. Trump previewed some parts of the world that could be subjected to a renewed travel ban in a mid-October speech, pledging to restrict people from the Gaza Strip, Libya, Somalia, Syria, Yemen and "anywhere else that threatens our security." During the speech, Trump focused on the conflict in Gaza, saying he would bar the entry of immigrants who support the Islamist militant group Hamas and send deportation officers to pro-Hamas protests.

Really, really not sure how much clearer I can make it here for y'all, but sure. Something something Trump's actually a better choice on this issue/overall.

It would be ok that prices are rising if wages were rising and more sustainable practices were being used. Things cost more than we pay for them, especially when businesses actually have to pay for the externalities of their production (clean up the environment, properly find uses for “waste” materials, pay for water use, etc) BUT that’s not what’s happening here.

Companies are merely paying the same, receiving the same (or more) corporate welfare and not being held accountable for any externalities and pocketing the profits at the top level.

The CEO class is truly a blight on this world.

Pro tip: go the your local food coop or farmers market if you have access to one. We can still do our little parts to support our local food producers and siphon at least some money from the pockets of these monsters.

It is ridiculous how much grocery prices have increased

The op makes an extremely valid point
