This is what a lot of the Return to the Office stuff is about. Everything else is just window dressing and propaganda (some of it quite well-done propaganda). In other words, it’s all about attempting to preserve the value of commercial real estate.

Whose Impossible?
I’ve been doing my “impossible” celebrity workouts for years now. I’m 46. It’s not even that hard honestly. I could work out even harder if I wanted to, for diminishing returns. And no, I don’t have good genetics and am not particularly athletic.
What are people even talking about when they claim these workouts are impossible? I worked out 4x this much in the army.
I’ve also never been injured and never had any issues (other than minor tendon soreness) due to my workouts. It just seems for most people “impossible” equates to “mildly inconvenient.”

Well damn. That’s something I’ve never seen before and I’ve seen a fucking lot.
Aella
this is all fine but it's not why people think aella's research is worthless. science is a religion, scientists are priests, and aella has not been ritually permitted to wield the holy science. that's it. also sexual jealousy https://t.co/zo9RZw3Tuf

Aella could discover cold fusion, cure cancer, and make a warp drive and she would still be laughed at in academia. If her ideas actually worked, they’d be stolen (as many already have been) and attributed to someone else who was ritually permitted to wield the Holy Science.
In my own case, it has been economics ideas that are now widely accepted and/or openly debated. When I had and promulgated these same ideas 15-20 years ago, they were laughed at, called “ludicrous” and I was called in an econ forum thread (and I’m quoting here) a “fucking retard.” One of the people berating me in that thread now advocates those same ideas. Funny how that works. Wish I’d saved all that as the forum is long gone now.
It’s hilarious academic mooks talking about Aella’s surveys being worthless when those same people survey WASP college students age 18-22 and think that’s representative of all humanity. Just…how?
Sustenance
Heavy Losses Renew Questions About Russia Sustaining Its Offensive.
Yeah, they lose about 25,000 trops and ~200 tanks and APCs to take a kilometer of land. No fucking way that is sustainable no matter what clown-ass Ian Welsh et al. think about it.
I guaran-fucking-tee it.
ROM
Two reasons:
1) Women are the main audience of romcoms so they identify more with women being upset. (I personally like romcoms quite a lot.)
2) No one cares if men are upset.
Regnant
Annual Services Inflation Rages at New Four-Decade High, Monthly Overall CPI Hottest since June.
So very transitory! Did I call it or what?
Anyone who claimed “transitory” should be deposed. I should be the new king of all economic pronouncements.
