Galloway was a beast. He ran 2:16 with walk breaks. What a monster!
I've still been chugging along with my 40mpw, 2 workouts and a long run per week. It's to a point now where both my Garmin and the intervals.icu site are telling me to increase my training load. I'll have to turn that rest day into another easy run and eventually add a third workout.

Pro-Trump activists who say they are in coordination with the White House are circulating a 17-page draft executive order that claims China interfered in the 2020 election as a basis to declare a national emergency that would unlock extraordinary presidential power over voting.
quote:
Under the Constitution, it’s the legislatures and states that really control how a state conducts its elections, and the president doesn’t have any power to do that,” said Peter Ticktin, a Florida lawyer who is advocating for the draft executive order. Ticktin attended the New York Military Academy with Trump and was part of his legal team that filed an unsuccessful 2022 lawsuit accusing Democrats of conspiring to damage him with allegations that his 2016 campaign colluded with Russia.
“But here we have a situation where the president is aware that there are foreign interests that are interfering in our election processes,” Ticktin went on. “That causes a national emergency where the president has to be able to deal with it.”
The emergency would empower the president to ban mail ballots and voting machines as the vectors of foreign interference, Ticktin argued.
What's on your Mt. Rushmore of speeches?

I was thinking:
The Gettysburg Address - Lincoln
I Have a Dream - MLK
We Shall Fight on the Beaches - Churchill
Give Me Liberty, Or Give Me Death - Patrick Henry
The first two are locks. After that, I feel like you could slot in Reagan's speech at the Brandenburg Gate, a few different JFK speeches, and I'm sure there are plenty more.

You mean the foreign raw materials and components subsidized by their communist governments. Those foreign raw materials and components?
The price of something that is being subsidized by a communist govt, doesnt negate the fact that the subsidy is designed from the get to weaken a foreign country's economic base

From a national security standpoint, tariffs can be used as a scalpel. "Global tariffs of 20%!" isn't that.

Seems like she misquoted. Funny thing is the democrats have done to blacks what Woodson was saying to avoid.
That's the funniest part in all this. She's on THEIR side. Her argument is that because of some kind of systemic racism, these kids are too ignorant to realize that they're being conned by their failing school system. She was paraphrasing the Woodson quote that was used earlier in the meeting to make her point that once they've been "trained" for long enough, they don't even question it. And now she's going to lose her job because the morons on the Zoom call are proving her point, that they're too dumb to understand nuance. Oh well, go woke go broke I guess.

My opinion is that if you have Tourette’s and are known to blurt out curse and offensive words, you should prolly stay home.
Apparently he was there to be honored for his film...about being accepted in public despite his tourette's diagnosis. I don't think they should have to lock themselves away so no one ever gets offended by tics that aren't directed at anyone. If you're not mature enough to handle bad words that are part of someone's medical issue, maybe you're the one who should stay home.

Tourette's activist has very unfortunate outburst at BAFTA awards
Posted by Ingeniero on 2/23/26 at 8:50 am

quote:
BAFTA Film Awards host Alan Cumming thanked the audience for their understanding on Sunday night after a number of outbursts from Tourette’s campaigner John Davidson during the show.
Davidson, who is the inspiration for BAFTA-nominated movie “I Swear,” was diagnosed with the syndrome at the age of 25. His symptoms, which first began when he was 12, include tics and uncontrollable outbursts, often involving cursing.
quote:
A number of outbursts could be heard throughout the BAFTA ceremony, including “shut the frick up” being shouted during an introductory speech from BAFTA chair Sara Putt and “frick you” when the directors of “Boong,” which won the BAFTA for best children’s and family film, accepted their award. During another outburst, the audience inside the BAFTAs heard Davidson shout the N-word when Michael B, Jordan and Delroy Lindo presented the award for best visual effects to “Avatar: Fire and Ash.”
