I don’t know why people keep being surprised by Elon Musk being weird. Extremely rich people are nearly always weird, because they can afford to be, and autistic people - I don’t say this to be derogatory - are always at least slightly weird.
Re: yoga: for a few years, “yoga is cultural appropriation” met up with “Christians shouldn’t do yoga,” and there were church groups advertising “Christian stretching based on yoga.” 😂
Or we can just stretch without any woo about looking into the mirror and getting in touch with our true selves or seeking any kind of divinity 😆 Or maybe that’s just too hard. I’m a pretty secular materialist kind of person. Temperamentally I’m quite like Richard Dawkins. Just tell me the moves and stop preaching. Not gonna lie, that kind of stuff put me off group yoga. I only do it at home now.
Amazing! Some people just think outside the box their whole lives (not saying the houseboat story is right or wrong in what they tried to do, but it's certainly interesting).
My mother is running a half-marathon today, so now I can obnoxiously claim that she's contributing to eugenics by doing so thus once again proving that perfect Marxist praxis is continually calling my liberal Mom a bitch (but leftisly)
lol that people consider it “eugenicist” to want to do physical activity. It’s like the epitome of “something you like doesn’t have to do with ME therefore it’s bad!”
I had an argument on Twitter with a published historian who said that universal nutrition programmes are "eugenicist". Just one of those words that don't mean anything at all any more.
“something verboten in online leftist circles: working out” … this is so weird bc there’s clearly a “work out to fight fascism” thing also happening, which I wrote about here (and then The Cut published something of the same tone earlier this year):
Would love it if people thought of working out as a thing you do for various personal/self-actualization reasons, not as a way to signal (or not) alignment with political movements
I don't even get the "getting stabbed" excuse because I feel like exercise would make you more likely to outrun an attempted stabber? Either way, let me try it out on my husband and see how it works out.
There should be way, way more coverage of Elon as a deadbeat dad who only uses his kids as props. It's so ridiculous that right wingers can make illegal pet squirrels into a cause celebre and Democrats can't hit layups on fucking cartoon villains.
I think Natalie Winters just wanted to show us she now colors her hair, has succumbed to the Republican Makeup trend and maybe had a little facial work done. Not sure if she's had boob work too, the slouching in the old pic makes it hard to tell. But there is a definite difference. Also loving the comment saying she's "changed the world in her 20 years", whew!
I just want to note that "Trigon" is the name of a supervillian from the "Teen Titans" comics who looks like a devil with antlers and extra eyes. Naming a military building after him, even by accident, would have some unfortunate connotations!
The 20% discount doesn't appear to apply to existing customers, which I didn't realize until after I just upgraded from monthly to annual. Is there any chance that you could apply it to us as well? Thanks!
I realize this isn't what the post is about as such, but the "exercise is eugenics" folks are only as annoying as the "a fascist worked out today" folks. What both fail to understand is that working out is a self-involved activity. It's not, in fact, political.
I would love it if, say, Korea had a breakout pop sensation named Big Ashley.
Big Mama Thornton 4eva!
"the Andy Kaufman we deserve" chef's kiss
That was my favorite line as well.

Ah yes, PraiseMoves: the Christian alternative to yoga XD

Grimes sighting!
I want to make sure everything that reads this blog is aware of this story from before she was famous.

Wow, that is a fantastic story!
Thank you

Perfect timing!

Every day I get more and more sold on “working out to meet a need to be hot wasn’t ideal, but it’s better than this”
Anyone remember "Marxist soccer"? Antiwoke commie shitposter, obsessed with squats.
OMG just realised could have been a CHH alt...

Seconded!
Surely CHH will reward her longtime loyal early subscribers who believed in her with the same discount she's offering newbies
Setting politics aside, I think that dress is cute, but she needs to go up a size or two. If your buttons are gaping like that, it’s too small!

List articles usually fall in the category of filler but this one is amazing! So many chuckles and a few lines of great insight
The dress is so CHH coded I’m starting to think that she has her own trump impression??
