when the diet industry pushes “weight loss,” whether it's 10 or 100 pounds, it’s not only wasting our time with a goal they fully expect us to fail to keep us in that cycle forever, but actively preventing good food and exercise relationships. abusive! vice.com/en/article/93y…
i wrote even more about this here: vice.com/en/article/4av…
and i made a series of very shitty infographics about how cyclical dieting ACTUALLY SCIENTIFICALLY gets harder every time because of what it does to your body here instagram.com/p/CL-CJzvJxG2/
a longer explanation of how that works here vice.com/en/article/93w…
"casey i get that you're mad but i really do just wanna lose 10 pounds, i'd rather die than 'find my passion for exercise'" ok, i hear you, you're valid, please then stop wasting your own time w 1200 cals/day and the elliptical, and lift weights instead vice.com/en/article/m7a…
i'm receiving word that peloton ranks you in your classes based on how many calories you burn, ok seriously you guys have to stop
many are replying "no it's based on speed and resistance level" i have some bad news for you about what calories are
do i think it's possible an enlightened person can just ignore that part and enjoy the instructor vibing to the music, absolutely yes
do i believe that describes most people doing it such that peloton remains part of the problem and not the solution, absolutely not
Interesting thread on how peloton overestimates calories burned! My longest 🤔🧐 ever

there had to be a version of this story with more photos from the front until some editor took his glasses off and rubbed his forehead and blurted out "we just can't run a bunch of pictures of tits in the new york times"
nytimes.com/2021/07/22/fas…
this does mean on someone's hard drive at the new york times there's just a pile of photos of cans. large cans, small cans, and cans that are in between
when the "shirts off" guy's "shirts off" radar gets going it's time for another article

marjorie taylor greene doing fucking kipping pullups to own a contagious virus checks out
my technical commentary has been requested: no reason to do kipping pullups unless you are competing, and actually competitive in, crossfit, which MJG need not worry about since crossfit said a few weeks ago "we want nothing to do with this bitch" buzzfeednews.com/article/ryancb…
it seems this is a lot of people's first encounter with kipping pullups lol, one of many reasons people are a little afraid of crossfit

okay: it's time to say no to your family vice.com/en/article/qjp…
believe me that i get the impulse to want to try and construct the perfect argument, find the perfect angle, assemble perfect logic so that no one could possibly not understand. some people don't understand because they don't want to. in that case you just have to say "no"
many believe "saying no means you don't love them." because their mom says so. i'm here to say: it's not true, and your mom is being a jerk to you when she does that. you can love her even if she is a jerk, but loving her doesn't mean letting her get AWAY with being a jerk

hm in the process of trying to find out if tana mongeau got any PPP loans i've learned lexisnexis lists her age as 30, not 22 as the rest of the internet says ImageImage
in fairness, i've now looked through all the yearbooks from her high school from 2004-2009 and she is not in any of them, so either she is younger than that, she missed picture day (they don't seem to have any "not pictured" students), or she didn't go to that high school
there are no yearbooks online after 2009 that i can find so i might die not knowing if this is real

earnest tweet but my partner @chezseamus spent the last five months writing and producing this mini-doc (ENTIRELY remotely) on everything Trump ignored and actively destabilized to cause 192,000 people to die
it's narrated by Jeffrey Wright, it's free on YouTube, and has all the the facts on exactly what Trump did that lead to this bullshit situation we are in now. You can watch a preview here but please check out the whole thing above too
the SHEER AMOUNT OF CABLE NEWS VIEWED IN THIS HOME just to try to untangle all of the lies from the actual truth, you would not believe
