The fascist cult of body and fitness worship (e.g. manosphere bodybuilders, RFK Jr.'s poses, wellness woo peddlers, white supremacists obsessed with classical statuary) only extends praise to true believers. Otherwise it’s something to be ashamed of.
Good on Judge Engoron for showing that it’s never too late to put effort toward feeling more physically fit.

My two favourite stories about seniors taking up fitness routines are; the gentleman who started running at 80 (I believe), and decided at 104 to give up running marathons, and the lady who took up weight training at 89, and was deadlifting 100 lbs within 2 years.
ETA; is there a new commenting protocol? I’m getting weird stuff when I try to check comments; having to scroll through random lists of articles that come up when I click on “comments” at the bottom of a post.

There is, while a problem with the broken comment links in front-page posts is being fixed. More discussion of that here.

Tĥey’re trying to say he looks frail and malnourished in the before picture. For 74 even the before picture is insane.

See also: the time they found old video of AOC at Boston University dancing with some friends on a rooftop and tried to play it up as scandalous. Even some of the MAGA crowd were saying “actually, this kind of makes me like her. What are we supposed to be angry about with this?”

Stuff like this makes me think I really need to at least dig out my hand weights and do a fucking push up once and awhile.

What @gracchus said, but that is not “a random list of articles”. It is the BBS home page.

“Half naked” is “wearing a no armed t-shirt” now?
Living on outrage has to be exhausting.
