If your "job, relationships, interests, projects, chores, and other basic self-care tasks" ends up getting you around 10 to 12,000 steps on some kind of fitness tracker, you probably don't need a bunch of exercise? Non-exercise activity themogenesis (NEAT) plus plenty of sleep plus good diet is...

(2) ... what most people need who aren't doing body building. If you need some strength training (for, eg, bone density), you almost certainly don't need 2 hours of it. Again, the above is true if you're getting 10 to 12,000 steps in daily. Which is, like, walking around the block every hour.

(3) PS -- I'm no expert, so please fact check me here :)

Since every year of a Tesla model looks identical to when it debuted the only one you know the owners bought AFTER Musk went full nazi is the Cybertruck. It’s a giant flashing sign saying ‘I know who I’m giving my money to and I either don’t care or that’s the reason why I bought it.’

This is key: The people behind “Project 2025” understand that MAGA world - and the radical Right more broadly - wasn’t ready during Trump’s first presidency. They didn’t have the plans or the personnel to bend the state to their will and harness its powers. In 2025, they will be. Some thoughts: 1/

One thought that keeps coming up as I work on the Project 2025 episode I have coming out with @thomaszimmer.bsky.social -- the entire project is based on the premise that Trump's first presidency was massive failure.

Use of the term "FUD" is revealing as well, I think? I associate that term with meme stock cults and NFT/crypto grifters.

OK, let me tell you a joke. It’s a joke about context. (One of the most popular topics for jokes, I know. I give the people what they want.) Here’s the joke: Say somebody gave a rally, and a lot of people came. www.the-reframe.com/the-way-it-is/

The Way It Iswww.the-reframe.com Seeing the full picture in a fascist age of bloodbaths and violence-incitement rallies. But first: a joke about context.

"Two-minute hate"? Hmm sounds like something from a banned book to me?

Sharp look! "Warm weather" down here in FL is suit-prohibitive, unfortunately.

Celebrate International Women's Day by interrupting men with your unsolicited opinions and taking credit for their work. If they get upset about it, be sure to tell them that they sound hysterical and should probably smile more.

Also, did they fire her, or just not renew her contract?

Thank u, also I wanted to make the FULL interview available so that activists, journalists, and others can use the information to continue to hold her to account. Many journalists don't make source material for their reporting available at all, which I could have done.

People can comment on art; this is known. Less discussed is the fact that art can comment on people. My favorite example of a movie that got much of its audience to tell on itself is Spike Lee’s DO THE RIGHT THING, which is in my opinion a masterpiece. www.the-reframe.com/always-do-th...

Always Do The Right Thingwww.the-reframe.com Art that critiques its critics, cowardly pacifisms, and the violence that makes so many of us feel safe.

This pattern is repeated across a lot of geek fandom now. Faux fans betray their ignorance by crying about how Star Trek, Star Wars or comics should go back to be apolitical when they were always political / social justice focused.

The current fandom has no history with material, or else just didn’t pay attention to it.
