The whole philosophy of modern science is based on the fact that we can’t ever prove things bc we don’t know what we don’t know. It’s why we only have a “theory” of gravity. But somehow this never gets communicated widely and is downplayed by everyone and used to pretend any uncertainty is bad.

We typically lock off at the top as well - biceps fully contracted, bar at the shoulders, chin over.

In climbing, the ends are what we do a lot - holding our body weight on long arms or locked off ones.

Starting locked off and lowering yourself slowly is a great way to build up to a first pull-up.

Evidently these people really aren't living in the same world as the rest of us.

I will pay for a show that is Planet of the Apes with dolphins. Paul Gross is in the Charlton Heston role, and all the dolphins have Newfoundland accents for some reason.

people always stereotype Canadians as being polite, and its not true at all. We are passive-agressive weirdos who live in isolated weird places and the sooner we make peace with that the better

I am sitting next to grandpas and grandmas as much as I am younger people. Black, brown, and white Americans. Stop crying about people you don’t like online and actually fucking do something.

Few movements in Western democracies have waged war on women as relentlessly as MAGA has in the US.

They're a coalition of incels, patriarchal conservatives & religious fundamentalists led by a man accused of sexual abuse by dozens of women.

The Trump Administration are violent, toxic misogynists.

The "find themselves in management" part (as opposed to something like "aspires to") is really important
