talenstraining:
“Hey guys, great site. I think it has a lot of potential. I’m just wondering why you all are so biased towards gyms? Seems to me like you should be able to get in a great workout from home. Also I did about 3 hours of mowing the lawn yesterday and DEFINITELY think it counts as exercise. Is there…

This weekend, I mentioned more than once that libraries represent some of the highest civic virtues to which a society can aspire.

This stupid little Facebook photo is not only ill-informed, it’s harmful. Nothing on it has anything to do with reality. It has everything to do with a false rhetoric that’s being promoted by people who either don’t know about the realities of higher education in this country, or don’t care.
A fantastic takedown of the ideology of ‘hard work.’
Read this article. Now.

Andrew Foltz-Morrison: Playlist: The Grand Party →
andrewfm:
A number of months ago, I received a text message from my brother:
“I just went to the party you dream of going to.”
After he described the intelligent and cosmopolitan guests (a CouchSurfing party) and the excellent selection of electronic music by the DJs, I had the expected fit of…

Improving Your Self-Discipline with Your Training →
When I train clients, I usually know very quickly if they will achieve or fail at their physical goals. The most important factor for success isn’t strength, motivation, or hard work—it’s discipline. Self-discipline is crucial to obtain both mental toughness and physical improvement. Without self-discipline, one can train hard but is likely to be inconsistent. Temptations to opt out of a workout...

One Year of Change
On May 11th, 2010, I decided to change my life. I was tired of accepting a life I was not happy with. I was tired of being self-conscious. I was tired of being out of breath. Tired of living mediocrity.
After one year, I feel like a new person. I am happier, healthier, stronger. I am far from finished on my journey, and perhaps never will be, but I will never again accept a life I am not proud...

Put This On: Tom Scharpling's Three Rules →
putthison:
My friend Tom Scharpling hosts the brilliant radio show The Best Show on WFMU. He’s also a succesful writer for the screen, and his music video directing credits include Ted Leo and The New Pornographers. His advice on how to get creative work done is pretty much perfect.
DO THE WORK….

The gym is a genius con we should be ashamed to... →
Zoe Williams has good reason to feel ashamed, not because she doesn’t go to the gym, but because the Guardian actually published this article.
The title alludes to her opening argument against the gym:
The gym is so much greater a capitalist con than the casino, and yet so much more acceptable, so legitimate. How do they get away with it?
This is rhetoric I can almost get behind, though I...
