A new study of 83,000 adults found that standing for more than 2 hours a day not only doesn’t protect against cardiovascular risks, but it heightens an individual’s risk of circulatory problems.

The rise of standing desks is a result of what I like to csll “wet streets cause rain” style analysis.

Because people who sit around a lot are usually unfit, people decided the fix was standing around a lot instead of physical activity.

Holy shit, Aghata Christie was quite a racist, innit.

I know a horrifyingly vast number of people in education circles who are all-in, gung-ho about AI.

How do you teach environmental studies while you are supporting catastrophic waste of water & active global warming?

How do you teach kids that plagiarism is wrong when you are promoting plagiarism?

How do you teach kids that consent is important when you are promoting the wholesale non-consensual unpaid theft of original creators works?

Just bought a typewriter.

You can tell it's old because it's got neofetch on it.

I wonder how surprised will westerners be when the war extends to central Europe. 🤔

While the attack on Ukraine is 100% russia and russian fault, I think that the extension of this war shall be mostly the fault of westerners. Which would be very ironic, because the next russian expansion will happen due to, not despite of slow military support that the West is providing to Ukraine!

OTD in 1989 crowds of CIA sponsored fascists in pay of Soros stormed the Berlin Wall to begin an illegal, and very gay, annexation of East Germany.

If we kick Hungary out of the EU and use the money, which we are blowing up Orbans Ass, it will be enough.

Remember:

TOLERANCE IS A TREATY, NOT A MORAL PRECEPT. It takes two parties to enter into a treaty, and if either party breaks its terms, then by definition the other party is no longer bound by it.

You are under no obligation to tolerate the intolerant.

Remember that when you need to defend yourself. Do not self-doubt or feel remorse for being intolerant of Fascists and bigots; you are not bound to the terms of a treaty they already broke.

What are your thoughts on wearing a FFP2 with a valve (when no one else masks at all) #covid

Now more than ever.

If you ever get asked this by some software, the answer is *always* YES.

It's not 'Economic Anxiety' it's 'Bad People'

They elected a Rapist, knowing he's a Rapist because they like that sort of thing. If you think you can be friends with people like that, then I pity you and the life you've chosen to lead.
