O kurka!
Zapisałem się właśnie na swój pierwszy ultramaraton. 😱
Dystans „dla miękiszonów”, bo jedynie 50 km. Na razie na ten dystans zapisane są… 3 osoby 😂 podczas gdy na maksymalny na tym wydarzeniu (160 km) jest już ponad 40-tu chętnych.
Ale pomyśleć, że zacząłem biegać po czterdziestce i długo przebiegnięcie pięciu kilometrów było zbyt dużym wyzwaniem.
I'll live post what I can of the rest of the day's #TrumpTrial, but I'm utterly exhausted.
We've packed up most of the house (moving May 26), which did me in, even though we've gone so slowly. But all the lifting, sorting, etc, takes it out of me regardless.
We're still packing more today, plus a showing, so I'll be in and out.
Since Israel’s founding, ultra-Orthodox Jews in the country have been exempt from serving in the military so they can better devote themselves to religious study.
Today they number some 66,000 but last month, Israel's top court effectively lifted that exemption, triggering huge protests from the Orthodox community.
Documentary sequel "Food, Inc 2" covers a lot of ground,
from the conditions of workers to local farming initiatives,
and some have real impact, such as the campaign to ensure that mostly migrant labourers are paid a decent wage for picking fruit.
Kenner said he was “shocked” at one of the film’s most striking revelations:
Less than 15 cents in the dollar of food production goes to farmers.
The bulk of the profit is in turning healthy food into #ultra-#processed junk by making crops and meat taste of something completely different while piling on artificial flavours, sweeteners, emulsifiers and preservatives.
With these, Food, Inc 2 notes, we are literally eating ourselves to death.
This problem is worse in the US than most other places.
Ultra-processed foods account for 58% of Americans energy intake. In Italy it is 17%.
One of the greatest challenges to creating a different food system is the monopoly created by Tyson and other huge corporations buying up their competitors until a few companies dominate production.
They then use their financial power to subvert regulation and ensure subsidies that profit the making of ultra-processed foods continue.
Those few companies are even more dominant now than when Kenner made the original documentary
Pat Brown, the founder of Impossible Foods, speaks of the need to rid the food system of animals. He says that replacing cattle could provide a 30-year pause in the rise of greenhouse gases. So he makes “meat” from plants.
But the famed Impossible Burger, now in every Burger King in the country, is ultimately just another ultra-processed food.
A string of alternative meat companies have followed in Impossible Foods’ wake. But where is the funding coming from?
This, to me, was at least as important as the #GagOrder.
The appeals court also says
👉🏼delaying the trial until after the election, as #Trump wants, would be "counterproductive"
& would create perverse incentives for criminal defendants to use "harmful" rhetoric to force delays👈🏼 #legal
Thr part that I don't understand is why, after what happened in the 1930's and 40's (#RachelMaddow Presents #Ultra / #AmericaFirst Party, #Nazis of #CopleySquare, etc.) the famous System of Checks and Balances was not beefed up to preempt such an event.
After that, you did not need to be a lawyer to be able to foresee something like #TFG happening. In fact, I would argue, it was always just a matter of time.

I signed up for my first #ultra#trailrun. While the 44kmn distance really is an ultra only technically, I'm looking forward to it. I'm hoping it to become a start of a multi-year adventure. I'm old, but I don't think I'm too old to start.

Second week of #ultra#training : it is very hard for me logistically to run 5 days a week, and in my attempt to double up with my bike commute schedule I might have done something weird to my knee? So I took an extra rest day and I’m heading out on the long run today to test it out.
I’m very nervous about the rest of this training plan. Injuries usually means I need to scale it way back. Do I really need to scrap this six month training plan only two weeks in? #running
🤦♀️ Trump's gullibles must be footing the bills here.
' #Trump is suing a former MI6 officer & intel consultancy he founded, high court records in Eng show.
TFG, who is mired in lawsuits in his own country, is bringing a data protection claim against Orbis Business Intelligence & founder Christopher Steele, who previously ran the secret intel service’s Russia desk.
A 2-day hearing for the legal action is set to start on 16 Oct" #legal
...bringing on more cases. Each one would help in such a strategy.
I wouldn't even claim thinking-out-of-the box. It is almos self-evident that such a strategy has a high likelyhood of working.
(Oh, and anyone who has followed Rachel Maddow's #Ultra pod series knows there has always been political meddling in such high-profile cases. Only this time, it might actuall do some good.)
#TFG must never hold any office ever again--by any legal means.
...on the DeadBirdSite, the Conservatives, in particular the Federalist Society, put their plan in motion to capture #SCOTUS. And to fulfill what they set out to do in 1971: turn the US in a plutocracy. This happened with #CitizensUnitedVsFEC, and others. The climax was #TFG in the WH. He was never supposed to lose in 2020. He probably wouldn't, hadn't it been for the #pandemic
Anyway, out of curiosity, have you watched the #Ultra series by #rachelmaddow?...
If anyone wants to make a quick and painless €100 (ONE-HUNNIT EUROES!!) by offloading their old, outdated, shitty, clunky AF, barely useable and ugly #Apple#Watch#Ultra from last year in excellent condition, I'm here for you
Get rid of that shit, people are laughing at your old-timey time piece. I DO NOT because I care about you
And if that's not you, please boost this post, let’s change some lives
I couldn't find a direct way on apple.com to do a full comparison for what's new in the Apple Watch Ultra 2, so I pulled all the specs from https://www.apple.com/watch/compare/ and did my own. The four new things look to be 3000 nits, the S9, double tap gesture & 64GB capacity.
I think it becomes clearer by the week that a lot of what is happening now could have been prevented if #Nixon and his #VEEP had been punished to the fullest extent of the law.
The same is true about the #Nazi conspiracy in the US in the 1940s (Maddox: #ultra
No denazification, no or completely insufficient consequences. The rot is still there, more powerful even.
The #AugeanStables of US politics must finally be cleaned up.
Hard choices are to be made.
