And then our current situation happened, and it seems as if our feeds are worse now than they've ever been. I've had to get liberal with the Unfollow and Block buttons lately.

The Dirty Truth About COVID-19 Nobody Is Talking About
About a month ago, when it became clear COVID-19 was a legitimate pandemic threat, a few of my colleagues posted a statistic on social media.

Muscle Building Mistakes Of Middle Aged Men
DYEL - (n.) Acronym, short for "Do you even lift?" An insult, insinuating the subject does not have an appearance which would indicate he participates in resistance training and/or other hypertrophic activities. Johnny spent 4 hours each week in the gym, but his dainty arms and chicken legs made his friends mockingly ask Johnny, "Bro, do you even lift?" It's the ultimate insult on the message boards. It's safe to assume the goal of any self-respecting male weight lifter is to have a … [Read more...]
