I really hope they’re calling for divestments. I love the sentiment of “We demand a free Palestine” but unfortunately won’t accomplish much as realistically that’s unattainable from their current situation.
Protesting for university and highschool divestments from Israel/those involved is a much better use of their power in a way that can make long-term strides towards a truly freev Palestine / non terroristic Israel.
Personally I’ve worked out for years doing primarily the big 4, and have gotten good results. Occasionally id do assistance work but not usually. The only thing that’s noticeable are my arms and back are a little lacking in definition imo, but not severely. Id say you should be fine, especially if you plan to pick it up more accessory work later on.
I also lift on the heavier side of my %ORM for strength though.
Not sure if you already take creatine but it helps my recovery out quite a bit. It won’t help much in terms of sleep though, might try magnesium for that.
Nice 270, I’m at 265 rn planning to join you later this week, hoping I can push to the triple plate by mid year
Unfortunately not many reporters are reporting on this sincerely besides TheHill and Newsweek, although it’s slowly becoming more sincere.
Here’s an opinion piece that describes the situation when it originally started last year and contains a pretty accurate non biased overview.
Most recently there was a SCIF held on January 10th with the UAP caucus, and the IG regarding the Grusch claims. NY times article where some Congress people substantiating a few of Grusch claims.
Also very important to note, in general this is a very non-partisan issue (Republicans are definitely the most outspoken though). A UAP bill was put forward by Chuck Schumer in December to be included in the NDAA, which would declassify UAP materials that didn’t expose national security, and force all UAP materials to be returned to the US Government. It was unfortunately gutted by the House during negotiations (specifically by Congressmen lobbied by defense contractors). Take that as you will, but I think the fact that this is being discussed to be codified in law and not entirely hidden behind the executive branch with zero oversight is great for the public.
the continued belief in and resources spent on said unsubstantiated conspiracy is frustrating.
It’s very important to note here that the ICIG (Office of Intelligence Inspector General) who far out ranks Kirkipatrick and the AARO rated the whistleblowers claims urgent and credible.
Several Congress members then held a classified meeting with the same ICIG and determined that Gruschs claims have validity.
It’s a quite misleading to say this is entirely based on false information and claim it’s nothing more than a conspiracy theory that we shouldn’t be wasting resources on.
No, the whole point is to throw something insanely over the top and fictional out there (Peru aliens) in order to group the borderline plausible (Grusch report to Congress) with insanely over the top. These happening at the same time tries to lop Grusch in with the first group, despite him being incredibly credible and denying everything to do with the first group, yet the first group dominates the news cycles.
Sorry for the acronyms, there’s been quite a bit going on on Capitol Hill these past 6 months regarding, well aliens.
NHI - Non-human intelligence
UAP - Essentially UFO
MIC - Mitary industrial complex
ICIG - Inspector general of the intelligence community (Referring to US)
And I’m referencing American tax payers. We funnel quite a bit of money into the Department of Defense who then funnels quite a bit into the MIC. This isn’t even necessarily include anything anamolous, it’s just the American system.
Honestly sounds like the Peru mummies have been a mass disinformation campaign by the MIC/Executive branch to detract from the actual ongoing UAP/NHI discussion in Congress with Grusch and the ex ICIG and to prevent any oversight bills from passing.
Im sure they’d much prefer to sit there and call everyone crazy and keep raking in billions of non-auditable tax payer money.
I’ve noticed these past few weeks the For you algorithm has actually been feeding me content similar to what I’ve been liking. It hasn’t been that way for a year or two so that’s nice, the problem i nowadays is I’m slammed with scammy crypto promoted tweets by the bucket load.
Not OP but going to failure each set is pretty unsustainable long-term, most regiments I’ve seen will only have one set to failure. This is also why most structured weightlifting regiments have deload weeks scheduled into them. People definitely can do push to failure as much as possible, but it’s not necessarily “optimal”
Also generally note anything under 4 reps will be more strength focused 5-8 will be both strength and hypertrophy and 8+ is pure hypertrophy, but that’s another big rabbit hole.
You’ll also find that generally anything works, some stuff might work better for you personally as op mentioned. A lot of people on the Internet will preach about optimization, I suggest playing around with reps and sets and even regiments and find something you both enjoy and works for you
I generally do this for all my media, but I will never do this for music, there’s just such a huge lack of discoverability. Are you just never seeking out new music on the fly?
with the Fediverse being a couple million people
Yes thank you as I never see this being mentioned around here. I believe the last monthly active users was 300k? While it’s not nothing, meta doesn’t give any shit about a one time acquisition of 300k users who don’t want to use their platform.
We aren’t even “worth” extinguishing right now. These decisions are being made at a level far above us. We just don’t know why yet. I’m expecting them to use ActivityPub as a tie in for Threads/Insta/FB.
Next point equally dumb: no one owns the fediverse, sure. But if enough instances say no, that means they are not welcome. Democracy and all…
If you want to talk about democracy, technically they would have the most weight as they have the most active users.
that means they are not welcome.
Also to this specifically. Not a single CEO or threads user cares.
Not exactly for historical searching but for current news, I have been using Feedly and it’s been fantastic for grouping my local news sources/blogs together into one feed.
I can see a social media implementation of a communities section and feeding off lemmy that way. Essentially cloning reddit through their users and using lemmy communities content as a Kickstarter tool.

Realistically this graph wouldn’t include Snapchat, as it’s less of a “social media” than the others. Most people nowadays use it strictly as a messaging platform.
Spam implies it’s useless but it seems I can read my content from Reddit on that instance? While also staying on a single app and getting my regular lemmy threads.
Not sure why it’s a problem other than resource intensity, if the users have the option to block an instance as a whole it’s fine.
I don’t agree with them creating bot accounts and commenting on other instances posts though. Everything should be maintained within the instance.
As a heavy tiktok user I would probably only use this if it had an algorithmic feed.
