Amasea

@TheOfficerTatum @LourdesSuggs Sorry, but helping ended with Daniel Penny. I’m not interested in being arrested for saving someone who might very well testify against me because I was too mean to the monster.

🚨 Horrifying video out of Charlotte, North Carolina shows a man chasing a woman onto a public bus before brutally beating her unconscious. Even more disturbing, passengers watched as the assault unfolded and no one stepped in to help. Evil thrives when good people refuse to act. h/t @mattvanswol

Transgenderism is an uncontrolled society-scaled experiment in conformity and obedience: a test of how far you can make people parrot absurdities, inflict cruelties, collude with unrealities, and ostracize and punish people for things they do not themselves believe. It is a test of whether the moral self-abasements and routine betrayals that occurred in the Soviet Bloc with its secret police and political prisons and armies of informants could be replicated in liberal, democratic, and pluralistic societies that lacked this formal apparatus of repression: whether minor rewards and punishments could force people to punish people for stating the most self-evident of all truths and inspire them to cheer on the chemical castration and dismemberment of their own children. It is a test of whether civil liberties organization could be twisted into instruments of state repression and human rights groups instruments of defamation and violence against women. It is a test that most of the Western world is failing.

@BenjaminCrew1 But what if there was poison gas and hostages on Alcatraz and an out of control general was trying to ransom them for military benefits while fighting James Bond?

"I have to steal the Declaration of Independence because there's a treasure map on the back" is objectively the best plot ever for a movie. We're not going to be able to top that.

@DavidDack No guilt. I’m setting an example of health and self care while staying in shape to be present as long as possible.

For parent runners, the long run starts before the shoes go on. First you negotiate the window. Then you negotiate the guilt.

This is a metaphor for immigration more broadly.

hi. so.. there are two different troons convicted of brutally murdering two different babies in the state of Indiana. and they met in prison and are now dating each other. and they’re both suing the state for not funding their troon surgeries. and the ACLU is helping them.

@mattvanswol I’m excited for tax money to fund their defense.

Please prepare yourself... I have cried multiple times writing this post. Sadly, police have found partial remains of the body of little 4-year-old Javeayah Harris from Aiken, South Carolina. The details are so horrifying, I'm struggling to write them. According to investigators, Javeayah's parents allegedly: a) assaulted her b) refused to get her medical treatment for her injuries c) she then passed away as a result of her injuries d) "used tools" to make disposing of her body "easier" e) dumped her body in acid f) "poured" her remains into a pond g) faked a 911 call to say she had "just" gone missing h) sent thousands of people out looking for her ...but the entire time, they knew she was not alive It is the most, vile, grotesque, evil thing I've ever heard in my entire life. I have no words... These demons should no longer be breathing the same air as us.

@oldstatemark For real. It’s what happens when you’ve never lived in a blue state.

Most like-minded Idahoans believe they live in a deep red state. The Idaho I live in - is a blue state disguised as red. Two entirely different realities. Once you see it, you can’t unsee it. It’s wild.

It’s not the Nazi tattoo, or his lying about it, or his statement that all cops are bastards, or his use of an app that targets teens, or his admission he was a communist that led Ds to dump Platner. It’s fear he will lose that caused this stampede. Never forget that.

@organizedcha385 Vac

I never post videos with my vac mop unless I have a discount code because I hate when people pay full price for these. I have a discount code today so comment VAC for all the details!!

Graham Platner is one of the most ridiculous figures to arise in American politics in years. He is bright red like a strawberry with a ridiculous walrus mustache. He has a giant Nazi death’s head tattooed on his chest. He posted on Reddit claiming to have engaged in sex tourism and masturbated in portable toilets. He has multiple accusations of serious sexual misconduct and violence. There are no memes about this man. There are no late night talk show hosts making jokes at his expense. Nobody portrays him on SNL. Consider the way this utterly ridiculous Democratic figure has been treated by the comedy world compared to Republican figures like Pete Hegseth, Kash Patel, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and JD Vance. This is not harmless and this is not meaningless. Democrats have successfully incepted the idea into voters’ heads that Republicans are absurd, clownish and unqualified and the one-sided mockery in entertainment media has helped to spread this lie when the Democrats are actually a collection of hideous weirdos and circus freaks that media has somehow convinced you are normal. We have to do a better job of making fun of them.

A guy walks into a race with a Nazi tattoo and it was the third sexual assault allegation that concerned them. For today’s Democrat party, the problem isn’t an alleged rapist, it’s an alleged rapist who can’t win.

@ShamashAran As a woman, women shouldn’t vote.

I have now read this highlighted sentence seventeen times because I assumed I wan't actually reading what was written. Surely my eyes didn't actually read this. Maybe someone accidentally pasted in dialogue from "The Onion." back when it was funny. But no. She is saying that she delayed reporting a rape because she agreed with the accused, politically. This is one of those moments where, if your IQ is over 85, your brain quietly excuses itself from the room. We have apparently reached a point where politics has become the emotional-support animal for basic human survival instincts. "Yes, this person committed one of the worst crimes imaginable against me, but we both liked the same tax policy. Awkward." If your political identity has become so central that it can outweigh reporting your own rape, congratulations: you hve joined a cult. Cults are famous for making people subordinate reality, morality, and self-preservation to the interests of the group. I hate cults. I hate them a lot. They don't ask you to ignore facts all at once: they ask for one tiny compromise after another until one day you discover you're explaining away things that should be absolutely indefensible. What's sad isnt just that people end up there. It's that many of them don't even realize it. They sincerely believe they're making a principled decision when, from the outside, everyone else is wondering why the obvious isn't obvious anymore. At least religious cults usually promise enlightenment, salvation, eternal life, or an alien spaceship hiding behind a comet. Political cults dont even offer that. They ask you to sacrifice your judgment, your relationships, sometimes even your own well-being in exchange for cable-news talking points, in favor of a politician who will sell you out for a pack of gum. That's a spectacularly bad trade. At some point, "my team" has to lose to "the person who committed a violent felony against me." That's not supposed to be a close game.

"I was okay with Graham Platner getting a Nazi Totenkopf tattoo, being physically abusive as a boyfriend, his racist & misogynistic comments on Reddit, sexting minors on Kik, wishing death on a fellow soldier, cranking hog in a porta-potty, lying about his reason for enlisting in the military for the Afghanistan and Iraq wars, leaving the military to work for Blackwater, and being a communist, but SEXUAL ASSAULT is where I DRAW THE LINE."

I want every foreigner visiting America for the World Cup to realize this is 100% legal. And every town in the USA is filled with patriots who have armories like this. Every block, actually. This is why we will never be conquered and are awesome 🇺🇸

🇺🇸 AMAZING! Japan just did a whole FIREWORKS SHOW celebrating America’s birthday today, as it’s now July 4 in Tokyo This is what a REAL ally looks like. Unlike most of our European “allies” God bless America, and God bless Japan! 🇺🇸🤝🇯🇵

@DavidDack At some point you will need to admit that run/walk may the only way to continue running at all. I’ve come to embrace it and as a result am still going strong.

Run-walk is only “cheating” if your goal is impressing people who are not running with you. If your goal is finishing stronger, staying consistent, controlling effort, and not turning every run into a survival documentary… it’s just smart pacing. The ego hates walk breaks. The body often understands them perfectly. Some runners would rather suffer badly than pace intelligently because suffering looks more “real.” But the finish line does not care how cool your ego looked at mile 2. Did run-walk help you stick with running?

@runliftrunlift I hate lifting but after a partial knee replacement it was lift or stop running. I do 2 days a week for roughly 20 mins and the difference is unreal. I still don’t like it, but I appreciate it and won’t miss a day.

Many runners both underestimate and overestimate strength training. Here’s what I mean. They underestimate how important it is for your health. Simply put, you’ll have a better quality of life by running AND lifting weights. In fact, I’d say not everyone should run, but 100% of people should strength train. There are no downsides. They also underestimate its impact on running performance. Running and aerobic training are still the foundation, but heavy compound lifts (trap bar deadlifts, split squats) and plyometrics (bounding, hops) improve rate of force development and running economy. In other words, you become faster at the same VO₂max. What runners overestimate is the time required. If you’re training like a powerlifter, sure, that is a longer gym session. But as a runner? You can complete an effective strength workout in under 20 minutes once or twice a week. Grab a pair of dumbbells and do a circuit of step-ups, single-leg deadlifts, calf raises, and squat thrusts. That’s enough to move the needle. They also overestimate the complexity. Strength training doesn’t have to be complicated. The above exercises aren’t difficult to learn, and if you prefer, you can use machines instead. One or two hard sets per exercise, once or twice a week. Simple. If you’re not strength training, you’re leaving both health and performance on the table.

@HazelAppleyard I knew she didn’t trust me when I tried to break into her computer. FFS.

Whose side are you on?
