Now that I'm 46 I realize this is exactly what shoveling snow is. Would you do 60-150 pound deadlifts for 20 minutes straight? With random weight changes, no sure footing, and wearing multiple layers of warm clothes? Also at the top of your lift you have to twist and throw the weight to the side.
Take this seriously
Clearing snow seems deceptively easy but it’s the equivalent of lifting major weights at the gym and a lot more aerobically demanding than it seems

uh, hey, so... To all the Americans who will now be contending with lots of snow:
Shoveling is HARD WORK.
Do not force yourself to do it all at once.
Take your time.
Lift with your knees.
Shovel off a top layer and then the bottom layer.
Shovel a narrow path and then the whole sidewalk.
Go slow.

National media should really be covering the fact thay every major school, museum, and arts institution in the Twin Cities, and hundreds of local businesses are closed tomorrow to protest federal occupation.
Nothing like this at this scale has happened anywhere in America anytime in living memory.

Trump: "We have crime down in Chicago despite the fact we have an idiot governor and a mayor that, I mean, a very low IQ person. He's a low IQ person. It's amazing -- you have these wonderful, beautiful black women with MAGA caps on. They're all over Chicago. They want MAGA to come in."

The US has reduced its presence in Greenland to a single base and less than 200 troops.
If Russia were an imminent threat, Washington could simply deploy more forces tomorrow under the existing defense treaty.
Trump is just inventing a security crisis to justify an annexation

Renee Nicole Good was a 37-year-old award-winning poet, a mother of a six-year-old, and a wife who had recently moved to Minneapolis. That all ended yesterday when a masked ICE agent murdered her in broad daylight, shooting her multiple times at close range in the head. She had stuffed animal toys in the glove box of her SUV that rammed into another car after she’d been killed for no reason at all.
