Sure, if your definition of social media is "hyper-influencers with millions of followers". They're just replicating the capitalist grindset mindset that normal people know is stupid and a recipe for rapid burnout. (/condescending)

On social media, a broad consensus is that you can’t admit to struggle — at least not while you’re struggling. Doing so represents a failure so profound it’s almost existential. How did it become mandatory to demonstrate perpetual growth and progress online?

G!@gpike.bsky.social · 24h ago

I do actually really want you to reconsider why you care so much about professional sports and the outcomes of sports contests, and how much time, attention, and money you are devoting to something that is part of a bunch of really fucked up systems that are bad for everybody involved.

i think a lot of well-meaning people fall into a rhetorical trap where they take the bait and argue about male vs. female performance in sports rather than arguing for the value and dignity of women’s athletics generally. don’t let yourself be dragged into a bad faith framing.

Peter@notalawyer.bsky.social · 2d ago

the best HS teams in the country have multiple guys who will be in the NBA in a couple of years. they aren't normal high schools, they're basketball factories. but this literally doesn't matter. the value of women's sports isn't contingent on their performance vis a vis men.

The only responsible attitude for liberals and progressives to align on is that all right-wing grievances, claims and believes are not only false, but malicious lies. Nothing passes the mouth of an American conservative in public life that is not meant to harm and destroy the lives of millions.

Surprise! Insurance screws over Hades at the last minute AGAIN! Now they need to prep/fundraise for 2 MRIs and not 1 like they thought!! Hopefully things will get sorted with insurance but if it can’t, then helping Hades build up funds would be very kind: ko-fi.com/portaltohades

UPDATE: hey guys I have some news. I had to increase the goal as now the imaging center is classified it as two separate sessions due to it being lumbar and sacrum. My pcp and I are scrambling to get it authorized w/ my insurance before the 13th and im very very sorry to ask for more. Thank you

I'm not kidding about this: "white supremacy" must be purged from this earth like the worthless cancerous rot that it is. Not in a rhetorical sense, I mean literally. It is an existential threat to the planet.

Fat guy and (mostly) former super amateur martial artist. This is the single worst attitude to have in any combat sport. This gets your training partners hurt and you hurt, not necessarily in that order. Also, he's almost certainly hilariously mistaken about his abilities.

He will never understand that being "the fat guy from Superbad" is infinitely better than being "the martial arts chud nobody likes"

Jonah Hill says jiu jitsu has him ready to "annihilate" anyone who still sees him as the fat guy from Superbad "I love Brazilian jiu jitsu, except my body is begging me not to love it. My wife is often like, 'You're not going to become a professional fighter. You know that, right? You're a comedian" "If we got into it, I would f*ck you up. I would f*ck all three of you up" "My favorite thing is people are like, 'Oh, Jonah Hill, f*cking fat guy from Superbad.' And I'm like, 'I would f*cking annihilate you, dude. I'm not kidding you. Try it. If you see me, try it, dude. Bring it. Who's got it?'" SMARTLESS Sirius?

hey if there's an academic paper you are interested in reading, and you aren't a student, but you contact the author directly, they will usually just send it to you. this works like 70% of the time. seriously just ask

Academics and scoleres are not gate-keeperes. Thei will talke to you about their topiques. For dayes. Thei will sende lynkes. Thei will order bookes. Thys ys why thei lyve. Thei are the route bitwene past knowledge and future knowledge.
