I wanted your thoughts @sharonk.bsky.social on this trend of "Men's only Gyms". Plan to write about it soon in conjunction with the oddity of Colorado politics (as someone who spent the 2010s going to school and working in Denver) where the gym will be located. www.theremnantgym.com/property

"The sheer scale of the crossings suggests Morocco might have deliberately relaxed border controls. The timing is also suspicious. The crisis came just ten days after Spanish prime minister Pedro Sánchez visited Algeria— Morocco’s arch-rival—and announced a “new phase” in Spain-Algeria relations."
Alone at the border: Ceuta and Europe’s solidarity failure – European Council on Foreign Relations

I have met people like this when I worked in DC. It's maddening and shows the amount of sociopathy, delusion, and narcissism inside the beltway.
