Big interests include hiking, movies, Jiu Jitsu, working out ( I know I don’t look like I do but promise I do), love all things horror and spooky.

The conservative movement has turned against reality on every scientific issue of our time, from gun violence to climate change to epidemiology.

If campuses are ideologically homogenous, it's not because academia has ostracized conservatives. It's because conservatives have ostracized academia.

This man is an American who owns a BJJ/kickboxing gym in Canada. He was threatened with arrest while entering the US. His advice? Don’t go to the US right now.

So fucking burned out. So fucking tired right now. On top of everything going on, trying to get and stay comp ready when you don’t know what will happen with work and frankly your whole future and reason for existence is exhausting.

17 days left until probably my biggest competition in a long time. I would be lying if I said I felt close to ready.

I’m excited for fake agency DOGE to get to the Space X and Tesla contracts worth billions. That will save a ton!

Congress where is your backbone? Broken from bending over backwards to kiss Trump’s ass?

The watchdogs say the removals may be invalid for failing to comply with a 2022 law requiring a 30-day notification to Congress before removals.

Drain the swamp my fat ass.
Inspectors General are tasked with rooting out government waste. They have been purged by Trump because they could also identify his corruption.

DOGE is tasked with *pretending* to root out government waste. It has been installed to promote corruption to benefit Trump and his loyalest cronies.

Not a new idea. This is at least 40 years old. Elon you are pretty stupid.

Elon Musk wants to kill the penny. The little coin has won this battle before.

MURKOWSKI comes out against Hegseth for DOD, first GOP opponent. "The leader of the Department of Defense must demonstrate and model the standards of behavior and character we expect of all servicemembers, and Mr. Hegseth’s nomination to the role poses significant concerns that I cannot overlook."

8 days to finish to meet the goal of 10k calories burned during workouts on Concept2 equipment. 1760 left to go.

I really need to do some more hiking. Surprisingly winter is my favorite season to go on the trail.

DEI doesn’t mean hiring unqualified people—it means tearing down rigged systems that kept qualified talent out. Giving everyone a fair shot, breaking down barriers that have historically excluded talent. Diversity brings fresh perspectives, drives innovation, and reflects the world being served.

The Brits got it right.
Gotta love the British press.

This asshole is:

1. Railing against someone who actually practices their faith as Jesus instructed, something he never does;

2. Railing against people who release criminals from jails when he released over a thousand just this week; and

3. Railing against refugees, when Jesus was one in Egypt.

Roughly five weeks out from a big competition and facing an age old question, try to learn new material or focus sharpening my existing skill set.

If humanity would be full of people like him, I think the best choice would be “well we had a good run”
He wants so desperately to be profound, but instead this stuff comes across as super weird and uncomfortable.

Besides the transphobic bullshit about the NCAA approving women’s wrestling the worst take I saw on the internet, “women wrestlers don’t have the technical skill to earn this”. Even worse, this dude’s reaction to being called called. Too many totally mid guys feel too comfortable saying real trash.
January 19, 2025 at 4:49 PM
The NCAA recognizing women’s wrestling on Friday across all three divisions was historic. This makes it so much fairer and more accessible. Arguing with transphobes because well any time there are women athletes the maggots come out, has been exhausting.
