It’s Wednesday. Are you at the gym? Are you going to the gym? Go to the gym. You should go to the gym. But since you’re not going to go to the gym, here are some links to waste the time you should spend at the gym.
Ah shit, never mind, going to the gym is a fascisms.
The intersection of extremism and fitness leans into a shared obsession with the male body, training, masculinity, testosterone, strength and competition. Physical fitness training, especially in combat sports, appeals to the far right for many reasons: fighters are trained to accept significant physical pain, to be “warriors,” and to embrace messaging around solidarity, heroism, and brotherhood.
If you are not aware, seed oils are one of the things the government has used to poison the food supply in order to make us weak, fat, diseased, stupid, diabetic, easily sunburned, and gay. If you eat them, you’re NGMI, bro. Vice responds with seething, coping, and racism accusations.
As for Shanahan, her work is often referenced in wellness, paleo and anti-seed oil spaces, with mixed reviews. While a number of wellness bloggers seem to credit her book with shaping their understanding of vegetable oils, critics say her work is at best contradictory and confusing, and at worst, harmful in its promotion of eurocentric beauty standards by tying food consumption to adherence to certain facial structures. The book compares images of face shapes—including white and Black people—in a way that some readers note feels eerily similar to phrenology, a pseudoscience that involved measuring skull shapes that was used to justify slavery and has been compared to eugenics.
Eddie Hall and Hafþór Björnsson had a tussle. Remember, kids: winners take drugs and steroids are awesome.

“How can we be the cause of it, if no drug activity happens in the store, for 35 years we have never gotten in trouble with the police,” Husien said. “So they don’t want any drug activity, which I don’t blame them, we don’t want no drug activity around here either, but we can’t control that. We can control what’s inside the store, we can’t control what’s outside the store.”

And now for a real man-bites-dog story. I promise I’m not shitting you: a government has broken a promise.
KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — Afghanistan’s Taliban rulers unexpectedly decided against reopening schools Wednesday to girls above the sixth grade, reneging on a promise and opting to appease their hard-line base at the expense of further alienating the international community.
That’s all you get. Go to the gym.
Everyday I have this urge to First. Not just to First, but to pull off the world’s most death-defying Firsts. To take risks that no man has ever even fathomed. But at this time, I have to think about more than myself for I carry the seed of a new world. The First That Will Change Everything gestates and grows. It feeds on the reserve energy produced by my restraint.
The First That Will Change Everything is a myth, there’s no such thing.

A good meat-head gym is up there with a shooting range for places you are likely to find a room full of liberty-minded people.
My gym isn’t a meathead gym, but they did ignore the city’s mask ordinance during the second round of masking insanity. During the first round of masking insanity, the gym staff said “Just do what the governor said: Where a mask in the lobby area. We don’t care about what the city’s mask ordinance says.”
Oh, and after I clicked submit:
I’ve been to Atillis Gym in Bellmawr, NJ twice. They never closed down.

“easily sunburned”
Then wouldn’t seed oils make you more racist?
If you are not aware, seed oils are one of the things the government has used to poison the food supply in order to make us weak, fat, diseased, stupid, diabetic, easily sunburned, and gay.
Real men use butter anyway.
Or lard.
Lard. Bacon Grease. Butter. Ghee.
Bacon can be a little controversial in the anti-seed oil circles. (Pigs guzzling seed oil)
Carefully monitored pig bacon…
That smacks of homeopathic logic
I think they are right overall about seed oils, but as with a lot of groups, they can be a bit extreme.
Right, I think they’d need to prove that the quality of swine flesh produced by seed-oil-fed swine is in some way different or inferior to the alternatives.
Just saying that feeding seed oil to a complex organism is bad if you want to eat that organism later is not clear logic.
I can’t digest grass, but I can digest beef, so . . . .
Vegan, once removed?
Only eat things that eat vegetables.
Are acorns and other nuts considered seeds? ‘Cuz the best ham in the world is fed a diet of acorns.
It’s the Omega-6 levels in swine and poultry (depending, of course, on what they are fed).
If I remember the argument correctly (?) pigs are the worst because they are fatty and the seed oils are why they are fat. Fat = fat. Something like that.
*not health advice*
Ghee whiz!
I thought it was butter. Thanks for clarifying.

That was this morning.
Ah shit, never mind, going to the gym is a fascisms.
I read that article earlier. The author can go fuck herself.
Eddie Hall was beaten in his battle of the strongmen as Thor Bjornsson overcame his rival by dropping him twice en-route to a points victory.
I watched some of the video, and I thought Eddie Hall was shorter than that.
Albright was a central figure in President Bill Clinton’s administration, first serving as US ambassador to the United Nations before becoming the nation’s top diplomat in his second term. She championed the expansion of NATO….
Continuing from this morning’s thread, what kind of pushback would Albright have received if she had advocated the dissolution of NATO? I’m guessing that the Pentagon would’ve devoted an entire wing to discrediting and destroying her.
The Clintons weren’t exactly big on the DoD. I am fairly certain DoD would have had very little impact on their thought.
I’m going to the gym as soon as they send me the data I need for my presentation tomorrow,
Leave the kids alone.
Moderna said in the coming weeks it would ask regulators in the U.S. and Europe to authorize two small-dose shots for youngsters under 6.. The company also is seeking to have larger-dose shots cleared for older children and teens in the U.S.
Early results from the study found that tots developed high levels of virus-fighting antibodies from shots containing a quarter of the dose given to adults – although it was less effective against the super-contagious omicron mutant than prior variants.
“The vaccine provides the same level of protection against COVID in young kids as it does in adults. We think that’s good news,” Dr. Stephen Hoge, Moderna’s president, told The Associated Press.
So basically none then.
The Wapo article from this morning said efficacy was “above 0.”
This is a bad joke. No children in the control group developed serious Covid. There is no point to this vaccine.
Lesley Stahl on U.S. sanctions against Iraq: We have heard that a half million children have died.
Regardless of what you think of the decisions the US took regarding Iraq, that line always seemed like complete bullshit to me. It’s interesting that it got dropped like a hot potato when the Lancet came out with their about as accurate as covid modeling study claiming the 2003 Iraq war killed 500k people in excess of what the “normal” death rate would have been.
Also, everybody asked where the WMDs were, but nobody ever asked where all the dead bodies of those children were.
I think the bad part of all that is that Albright accepted the premise and said “worth it!”
Yeah, she didn’t even object to the numbers, went straight to justification.
One wonders if that means she knew the real numbers were higher.
Nobody had any idea. When I was there, nobody said a word about 500K dead kids, we saw no mass graves, etc.
I’m doing 24 oz. curls.
TALL CANS!
I just found this “Zone 2” cardiac thing, so I rode the stationary bike for 45 minutes this morning, then tonight I have hockey practice. Does that count as the gym?
NO!!!!!!!!
Yes.
And good for you on the Zone 2 training. If you haven’t already discovered him, Phil Maffetone is the man.
I’m kind of angry about it. For about a decade it’s been intervals this, Tabata that. And now we’re back to jogging for an hour like people have done forever. But I have done it for a week and already I’m feeling more energetic. I’m hoping it helps me keep up in those A team games.
Mind giving a quick synopsis? Considering I’m mainly on the cardio side already.
Here’s what I’m doing, but Tundra might have more details. Maffetone has a formula for calculating your max target heart rate. Mine is around 120. So for 150 minutes per week (I’ve been doing workouts of 30, 30, 45, 45), you exercise keeping your heart rate just lower than the target. I do ski erg and stationary bike. This is supposed to improve your cardio base. The explanation that got me was something like, after 6 months your pace will be much faster while keeping your heart rate at that target.
Sure. The vast majority of your training is done at a heart rate that is 180 less your age. It is grueling for beginners because it feels like you aren’t doing anything. But it does really good things for your endurance over time, without the overtraining that is so common amongst endurance athletes.
You can download his book for free.
Thanks The Other Kevin and Tundra.
Looks like I’m already hitting that on a regular basis already (within 5 bpm or so in spin classes, going above that on some bike rides). This year, it’s looking like the rides are coming back in a good way again. The first is happening this Saturday, which I won’t be doing. Still too cold and wet to do long rides (Saturday is expected high of 43, low of 27 with a mix of snow and rain).
Hey, I’m getting in shape just by breathing and eating. That’s pretty much all I do. A lot of wet snow yesterday/last night. Gonna be around for few days but I’ll be out for a walk tomorrow.
Lift Moar.
“Amen I say unto you, if you do one, you must therefore do both.”
I’m 90% certain Jesus said that in the book of Matthew.
At some point I should get a heart rate monitor so I can tell what heart rate zone magic I’m in. I kind of assume that I’m doing enough of that shit between walking and swinging my kookyball and rassling with my fascist MMA buddies, but I have no data.
On the other hand, cardio is so boring that I don’t know that I would care to do more if I’m supposed to.
I walk a minimum of 4 miles every day for my zone 2 cardio. It’s a perfect time for podcasts.
Weights three times a week and one session of HIIT.
I like having the HR monitor and a Garmin watch is effortless to use. You should get one.
I’ll have to get one to get the cheaper health insurance rate, so eventually I will. But I won’t like it, because I don’t like being forced to do things.
Get a bike?
The roads are death traps for cyclists around here. Blind corners, no shoulders, heroin-addled hillbilly drivers…
You should have some trails in the area, hybrid bikes can handle those quite well. There the issue is sharing it with hikers, joggers, runners, other cyclists, and people walking their dogs on 10 foot leads that are stretched across the trail.
Are you at the gym?

Putin on Wednesday responded to the economic sanctions from the US and the West. Russia will now demand that unfriendly nations pay for their much-needed gas in rubles.
Europe gets 40% of its gas supply from Russia. Look for gas prices to surge.
it appears Joe Biden’s mission to kill the US Petrodollar is nearly complete.
Via Richard Medhurst: This rule applies to all “unfriendly” nations. Russia published a list of 48 “unfriendly” states a few weeks ago which includes the EU, U.S., Japan, Switzerland and Norway. (These are generally countries that have sanctioned Russia in the last weeks).
Biden really is just the most incompetent president in the last century. And that’s saying something.
I didn’t think it was possible to be worse than Bush Jr. or Obama but here we are.

Animal, that “Redo Voting” has some major flaws IMO:
1. Assumes people have camera-equipped, internet-connected devices, or the polling centers will have them
2. Doesn’t address ballot harvesting or fraudulent registration
3. Is only “unhackable” insofar as the servers are unhackable, which they will never be.
4. Assumes secure communications pathways, which may not exist
Yeah, my first thought was “that requires reliable network connections at all polling places.” I’ve seen the blue-hairs that staff my rural polling station.
If the entire country had the sort of blue-hairs staffing my local polling station, elections would be much more secure.
Of course, that would also mean a lot fewer mail-in ballots and little early voting.
It also misses ballot spoiling. and links users to how they voted, and requires central storage, so that state can know and index who voted for what. Confuses hashes with “crypto”. Lots of smoke and mirrors.
“PICTURED: The doting grandfather trucker whose semi smashed into car carrying six teenage girls and killed them as they performed U-turn on Oklahoma highway
Six high school students killed in a horrific collision with a semi-truck in rural Oklahoma were riding in a small car with four seats and only two of the teenaged girls were wearing seatbelts, the Oklahoma Highway Patrol said Wednesday. The 2015 Chevy Spark and the semi collided around 12:30 p.m. Tuesday at the intersection of U.S. 377 and Oklahoma 22 in Johnston County. Oklahoma Highway Patrol revealed Wednesday that only the driver, aged 16, and the front-seat passenger of the Chevy Spark were wearing seatbelts at the time of the crash. The semi-truck driver, identified Wednesday by OHP as Valendon Burton, 51, (pictured) was also wearing a seatbelt during the crash. He was not injured. The six girls, all students at Tishomingo Public School, were killed in the crash, including the driver, three 15-year-olds and two 17-year-old passengers. Their names have not yet been released.”

Damn.
I only had to read Tractor/Trailer vs. Chevy Spark.
There was a particularly nasty collision about ten miles north of my house three years ago. Semi vs van carrying a church group to Disney.
Local news station got ahold of dashcam footage from a second semi, whose driver was also killed. Not easy to watch when you realize that five kids are in the van, but it certainly demonstrated the physical forces involved. Second video down is more succinct.
oh man that sucks
I doubt that seat belts would have helped much. Tragedy and sorrow for the families.
“: The doting grandfather trucker whose semi smashed into car carrying six teenage girls and killed them as they performed U-turn on Oklahoma highway”
Weird way to weird this, sounds like the teenaged driver was in the wrong.
Unless it was a three-way stop, I suspect you correct. Sad for everyone involved. The driver is not going to be sleeping easy at all
If they were in fact doing a U-turn on the highway, I’d think the teens were in the wrong.
However, I can’t tell from the map and photos what exactly happened. Where are cars going northbound on County Road 22 supposed to go?
Important details…
“Burton was also a volunteer firefighter and posted recently about the situation in Ukraine, adding that he was praying for a speedy resolution to the conflict”
Not a U turn, there is a picture of the intersection. It was an acute right from a county road onto a highway. They must’ve pulled out in front of him.
U-turns are illegal in OK.
You have to make a K-Turn?

I was dry practicing with The Last Argument of Dean on Sunday when Mrs. Dean came into the garage and decided if I could run a shotgun, anyone could. She likes the way it handles, and now wants one of her own (it would be a timely anniversary gift, which is nice*).
I think I just need to have her run a box of 00 shells through it, to see what she thinks of the recoil.
*Her wedding present was a Sig handgun, so why not?
I thought you both went through the shotgun course at that range a couple months ago?
Nah, just me. She’s done the assault rifle course.
Get her started shooting skeet, recoil light, lots of action and having a good time. Most skeet shooters that I’ve known are way willing to help a newbie on the range. It won’t be long until she won’t even feel the recoil of buck, especially from a Rem 1100. Much is absorbed in the action.
With 00 or slugs, my 500A kicks enough to get your attention. But its manageable when you expect it and know what you’re sending out the door.
A whole box tho’ ? Ill have some bruises.
At the 4 day class I took, we ran around 130 00 and over 50 slugs through the shotguns. With the Beretta 1310, it was surprisingly un-punishing – no bruises, just a little tenderness in the shoulder after day 4. Doing rapid-fire drills with 00 did blow up my form on day 4, though.
The instructors recommended mixing some 00 in with the regular birdshot we mostly were using, for just that reason – birdshot lets you be sloppy with your form, heavier loads expose that.
One thing most people dont realize (but Archer addressed it) and I love seeing it in movies- just how loud any firearm is when its in a small space. Even a house.
In a few months, I will have significant firepower guarding the house that will kill the bad guy(s), that won’t kill the neighbors, and that also won’t kill my hearing.
Much better than a .357 inside with no hearing protection.
Anything is better than a .357 inside with no hearing protection.

The food pyramid has killed more people than smoking. And the people who want you to use seed oils want you dead.
I think that’s giving the food pyramid and the bureaucrats who constructed it way too much power. As grossly incompetent as they were, like any government program, it was just a total failure. Most people didn’t follow it to begin with, and simply ate what they would have regardless.
Most people didn’t follow it to begin with
Not the entire thing, but they definitely ate the bottom of the pyramid (cereal for breakfast, sandwich for lunch, pasta for dinner).
That’s mistaking cause and effect. The carbs were cheap and available and addictive to humans. We are engineered to want carbs. The food pyramid was just a scheme where businesses bought some doctors and bureaucrats to sign off on the dietary habits people were already developing.
Yeah? Remember the low-fat craze where people scarfed down frankenfoods loaded with nasties? Or the whole-grains bullshit?
Nah, the government and big food were complicit in killing lots of people.

When I was in Russia in the late 90s it was illegal to price things in foreign currency, so instead the bars and restaurants priced things in “units”. It just so happened that the conversion rate of units to dollars was 1 to 1. So maybe they’ll accept payments for oil in units.
Menu pricing was set in units. Credit cards were charged in rubles. The exchange rate between units and rubles was updated every day.
This was intended to deal with the hyperinflation that was occurring at the time.

More on Robert Fojo’s license suspension
After the ADO issued the temporary suspension and before the Jan 4 hearing, someone at the ADO tipped off the media. Several news articles were published (misrepresented the facts).
I asked around and attorneys’ licenses get “suspended” all the time. It’s a lot like politicians getting fined by the SEC. It happens often but is rarely publicized.
In the case of attorneys, disciplinary action is quite common. But can you name any of them? Unless there is some political joy to be had no one covers them. They aren’t considered news. No one inside bothers to notify the media because the media wouldn’t waste the time.
How about the lawyer daring to say things like look, the rules, and laws as written do not support these mask mandates? How about that guy? Maybe we trump up some charges, get a little overzealous, ignore process and procedure again, and give him a little media perp walk.
Use him to set an example.

Marshall Plan? It sounds more like the Works progress Administration.
In a similar vein, Dimon urged Biden on Wednesday to ramp up US natural gas production to strengthen the US and EU’s energy security, the person familiar with the matter told CNN.
The source said Dimon believes the federal government should focus on four areas: increasing natural gas production in an environmentally responsible way, building additional liquefied natural gas facilities in Europe, investing in new technology for hydrogen and carbon capture resources and streamlining permitting for renewable alternatives like wind and solar.
Axios first reported the Marshall Plan push from the JPMorgan (AJLXX) CEO, who is one of America’s most influential business leaders.
Of course, environmentalists and progressives would oppose efforts by the federal government to ramp up production of fossil fuels given the worsening climate crisis. Democrats in Congress have also recently urged the White House to consider banning or limiting the export of both oil and natural gas due to high energy prices at home.
A top Biden official echoed Dimon’s Marshall Plan characterization in a speech on Wednesday.
“I think it’s a moment for us to ask at this point in our history, what is going to be our version of the Marshall Plan for clean and secure energy in 2022 and beyond,” Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm said at an International Energy Agency event in Paris.
“This clean energy transition could be the peace project of our time,” Granholm said. “But peace always comes after struggle. So let’s give this peace project the focus and the commitment and the resources of a war time effort. Our Marshall Plan.”
Nationalize the energy sector? Hell, why not internationalize the energy sector. It’s nothing but blue skies, from here on out.

Hey all, I’m collecting can lids for SP.
1) Take a lid, rusty or not (preferably a canning lid, but whatever you can get), write your glibs handle on it along with a message of appreciation for her immense contributions to this site. NOTE: you may get better results using a fineliner permanent marker.
2) email me at trashy-glibs [at] disengage [dot] co (and let me know what your glibs handle is) to get the destination address for the lid.
3) shove the lid in an envelope and get it in the mail by April 1st.
Once I get all the lids, I’ll assemble them in a way that only a trash monster can, and I’ll send it up to SP to replenish her stock and keep OMWC in check.
I’ll continue posting this in the links threads this week.
NOTE: Athena has graciously offered to put messages on lids for those who, for whatever reason, can’t. (athenaofprogtown at the gmail)
NOTE2: If you don’t hear from me within 24 hours, let me know

Tesla Inc. is facing opposition from community and environmental groups over its plan to hold a party for 15,000 people to celebrate the opening of its plant in Austin.
The company intends to offer tours of the 8 million-square-foot facility, food and two stages with live music at the invite-only event on April 7, according to plans submitted to Travis County, which encompasses Austin. Officials on Tuesday granted approval after hearing testimony from concerned neighbors.
Paul DiFiore, a representative of the Colorado River Conservancy and the Austin-based environmental-justice group PODER, cited noise, blocked roads, dust from construction and water pollution as issues.
“This grand opening is not a substitute for real community engagement,” DiFiore said. “I urge you to consider rejecting this permit and forcing Tesla to delay their celebration until they start treating the community in Eastern Travis County as more than a workforce for Elon Musk but rather as neighbors and partners.”
Boo fucking hoo, you parasite.
Translation: Please make a generous donation to our organization, Mr. Musk.

That page is a bad joke. the founder is “an indigenous person of the continent of America.” Yeah, sure, honey.
And for a Woman/POC-centric org they sure have a lot of white dudes. lol
I was born here too. Doesn’t that make me indigenous?
Susana Almanza is a founding member and Director of PODER. Susana is an indigenous person of the continent of America and resides in East Austin, Texas.
I was born in Tampa, which (last I checked) is part of North America. Does that make me indigenous too?

Way to live up to the stereotype, hon. I don’t think I’ve seen an Asian face in two years and I wouldn’t be surprised if I never saw one again.

“he’s a teenager who accidentally ended up in a tornado (as opposed to the storm chasers who do it on purpose). We wouldn’t be shocked if he was still under the covers in his room in Manor, Texas, laying a thousand-yard-stare on the wall, instead of trying to give interviews about the experience.”
Please. He’s probably trying to use his story to pick up chicks right now.

He doesn’t look real. But thanks for enacting my labor.
