1982 U.S. pressing
(Plus cassette)
Sometimes, you just have to buy things on principle.
This is one of the more ridiculous records I’ve come across lately (pun intended), and I’m sure I’ll end up using it for fun samples in random music I’ll make for fun this year.
Definitely the first used record I’ve found that came with a cassette. That’s odd.
And BOTH are in excellent condition.
Who could forget such bangers as “Pelvic Pleasures” and “Kinky Chorus Kick And Flash”?
Those kinds of inspirational numbers tend to stay with you forever.

#Fitness #heart #kinesiology #Snow; on my mind, on my driveway, on . . I'm so glad the docs have me working out regularly. My cardiologist recently cleared me for surgeries. I'm worried about another friend, someone who's far frailer than I and who lives alone. I think she has enough sense to respect her limits as she clears her driveway Again.. This is one concern: https://newsroom.heart.org/news/snow-shoveling-can-be-hazardous-to-your-heart
Me, I have a sore lower back; the letter carrier was able to make it to our house, and waved to me as she drove down the street; I guess I did well. I'm not sure what exercise I should add to my routine to build up my obliques: probably the Belgian Twist. Of course! I find it a bloody challenge. Instead of avoiding it, that should signal me to do it regularly. .
Here’s something to think about if you’re considering a smart ring as a fitness tracker like the Oura ring or RingConn: it can’t be resized.
If you’re buying it as a way to track activity as part of a plan to lose weight, it will be loose. If you buy one during the hot summer, during the winter it may become loose — or the reverse if you buy it in the winter. There are spacers to help with fit though.
The other thing is battery life as the tiny batteries inside will degrade.
1️⃣ Be young and in prime health.
2️⃣ Get COVID-19. (Mild or completely asymptomatic)
3️⃣ Find out if you're in the 25% that develop Long COVID
A peer-reviewed 2024 study in The Lancet Regional Health Americas found that out of 899 young and healthy Marines, a fourth of them went on to develop Long COVID after infection. Most of those people had mild symptoms in the up-front infection stage, and over a third of them hadn’t felt sick at all — one of the aspects I find most chilling about the virus.

Turns out that in 2026, one of the healthiest choices a person can make is to cut out respiratory disease! Which means wearing a well-fitting N95 or better in shared air!

A little story that isn't at all important, really.
So, when I was in my mid-20s, I picked up this pair of red leopard print pants. They were out of my comfort zone even then, very much look-at-me clothing, but I loved them. I didn't wear them often - what is the occasion exactly for red leopard print pants? - but they were one of the few pieces of clothing that I kept every time I cleaned out my closet that were too small for me.
I found them this summer while cleaning, and after running them through the laundry, I tried them on. They're snug, but wearable, so I hung them up, but I didn't really expect I'd ever wear them again. I'm almost 50 now.
I wore those damn pants on my date yesterday. And I still love them.

Check out my post on Rethinking “high HRV”
If you want to increase your HRV, start by forgetting about chasing a big number and focus instead on building a steady, low‑noise baseline.
– Many people want higher HRV because they think it proves elite athleticism, but research shows the link is loose and highly individual.
– What often separates “high HRV” athletes from everyone else is not talent, but predictable routines, disciplined recovery, and fewer wild swings in daily behavior.

Day 3 of my water fasting. I would have expected a loss of energy from lower glucose, but that hasn't happened yet. Exercise still seems to have a quick recovery. I'm sure I'll hit the wall in the following days. The goal is to maximize metabolic efficiency. I read that fasting changes the mitochondria, elongating them for efficiency. The goal is fasting until next Monday and see what it does for the blood tests, CBC/metabolic/lipids. My goal is to see how effectively young my body can perform. I'm in my late 50's and health care in this country is horrifically expensive and this is all about health and strength for decades ahead.
I had been looking at the Infinity Hoop because it's got ads all over social media, but it was going to cost me upwards of $100 to try it out because of my size.
Found a knockoff on Amazon for $15, so decided to give it a whirl.
As someone who used to be a fairly competent hula-hooper? This is way harder than it looks. Pretty sure I'm going to have to start with like, 5 minute intervals, but it's definitely going to be a workout.
Sometime around the 2020 era, we lost the right to be mediocre at things we love.
No longer can you just bake bread...you must start a sourdough side hustle lol. Wanna stay fit and go jogging or running? Nah, you gotta optimize your biometrics for a marathon. What my point is that every hobby has been enshittified and gentrified into a brand opportunity.
This strange infatuation with optimization culture is killing the human spirit.
So this new year, starting tomorrow, one of my resolutions is to do something bad but fun. Maybe I write a terrible poem. I like to draw and paint, so perhaps I will draw a horse that looks like a table or sing off-key in the showers or in front of my loved ones. The algorithm driving the mainstream social media wants me to be a polished product, but my humanity lives in these messy, unoptimized, cringe-inducing joyful failures.
I will try to reclaim the right to be an amateur. Will you join me?

Ok, a bit of a blog here....
81 days ago, I started a Do One More Push Up Every Day , quest, adventure, thing.....
For transparency, the first 5 days, I did 5 pushups a day.... From day 6-10, I did 10 and from then on, I added one more each day.
There have been a couple of missed days, so I did the missed day AND that days Pushups, with a good long break in between.
There have also been a couple of "light" days where to give myself a bit of a break I did them on my knees, or against my desk instead of flat off the floor.
I'm doing my "sets" to near failure, and then resting for about a minute in between to let my breathing and heart rate recover a bit... my first set is often 25.... my 2nd sets are often about 15.... The last 2 or 3 pushups a day, I'm NGL are fucking hard to achieve.
Today was Day 81. I cannot believe I'm staring down the barrel of 100. The thought of it makes me want to absolutely barf.
I think my original "plan" was to do this for a year. I don't know if that's a particularly smart move for a guy my age, who until now has done FK and ALL for "Strength Training" all his life... The Beer Drinker in me wants to get to 100, dust my hands off, and call it FINISHED!
The Green Lantern in me (who should really just admit he's more a Blue Lantern) wants to keep going.
I wish I'd taken a shirtless picture on the day I started.
So I donno.... Comment, for fun. Be supportive if ya can.... Shake a PomPom for me and I'd really appreciate it
Today is actually a rest day. Nevertheless, I wanted to see what my shoulder could handle. So today I had a quickie with
2x24kg #kettlebell 4 farmerswalks
And until now, it seems to be ok.

@toddtyrtle I do love the snow. And on days when everything is sparkly outside, #snowshoeing is just delightful! I'm getting to the neighbourhood pool for some water running, doing some #Fitness+ workouts, a bit of planking, and I did an online Yin yoga class last week, definitely a lovely way to end the day.
Here is a good tip for losing weight only get the unhealthy stuff in house that you're going to eat that day do not get excess and healthy food instead surround yourself with excess healthy food like apples and fruit because when the munchies hit there's nothing better than a good apple read up on the atomic habits if you want to understand how environmental cues work and how they influence your decision making without you even knowing. Workout at least twice a week you don't have to be a pro athlete simple workout will do Keep track of your weight this will give you a sense of progress in will make your progress visual. Regularly check yourself in the mirror I know this Sounds weird but The moment you start to see improvement in The Mirror's no better feeling and no better motivation it's about the Tiny gains that Matter not the big ones, because all those tiny little gains are going to add up over time. It's not the destination or end result that matters it is your fitness journey itself because it is what will define the new you. Instead of saying I want to become someone who practices fitness start saying I am someone who practices fitness. Start embracing your new identity this definitely is not a 180 of your current identity but it's a newer version of it one where you actively improve yourself The hardest part about starting a workout is beginning once you got that over it's easy Goos luck frens :) I almost reached my goal of 75KG and from there im only gonn get better :D, next on the menu is ramping up my combat training

I am clearly in FAR worse shape than I thought. 10 minutes on the bike, on low resistance and at low speed (6mph) just kicked my ass.
Maybe should have waited a couple days for the new month, but started this today.

U.S. President Donald Trump wants to double the size of the ICE workforce, but there's a problem with that. More than one-third of new applicants has failed the agency's personal fitness test, which comprises 15 push-ups, 32 sit-ups and a 1.5-mile run in 14 minutes. An email from ICE headquarters to top officials described the new wave of candidates as "athletically allergic." Here's more from @TheAtlantic.

Predatory Data
Eugenics in Big Tech and Our Fight for an Independent Futurehttps://bookshop.org/p/books/predatory-data-eugenics-in-big-tech-and-our-fight-for-an-independent-future-anita-say-chan/21312207
There's a nearly straight line from 20th century eugenics to 21st century big data and data science. Google, the bastion of big data, was founded by two Stanford graduate students; Stanford was founded by a eugenicist and instituted eugenics principles. Francis Galton--inventor of the regression analysis that forms the backbone of data science--was "hot or notting" London with a counter hidden in his pocket long before Harvard-age Zuckerberg recuperated the same with the favorite quantification technology of our day, computers.
"The measured life" is a eugenics concept. All these doohickeys that collect data with the promise of making your body a bit more "fit"? Eugenicist in origin. Eugenics is about "optimizing" the physical "fitness" of people. Apps that help you learn, make you more mentally "fit"? Also have origins in eugenics. Eugenics is also about "optimizing" the mental "fitness" of people. Hence the obsession with IQ.
This isn't to say you shouldn't take care of your body and mind in whichever ways you want. I do think it's important, though, to periodically reflect on, and ask yourself hard questions about, what's driving those efforts and what the goals really are. Part of understanding why eugenics thinking is resurging so hard and fast in the US is understanding its roots, where that type of thinking comes from. It's also important to reflect on where the apps and devices you use to achieve these goals come from. How many come directly or indirectly from Stanford, which was built by eugenicists to achieve eugenic goals, and its offshoots?
Trump and Musk are literally repeating themes from Francis Galton's eugenics out in the open now. They're confident they can get away with it without pushback because the ground was laid long ago. But eugenics didn't suddenly become bad again because coarse people started saying the quiet part out loud. It's always been bad thinking, bad science, and bad morality.
