Looks Like Being Unfit WINS! – Belladonna’s Flashlight

Here are 7 reasons that will motivate you to get fit and 10 reasons why you should avoid it at all cost.

Reasons Why You SHOULD Get Fit

1. Improved Health: Regular exercise can help reduce the risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, and obesity.

2. Increased Energy: Exercise can boost your energy levels and reduce feelings of fatigue.

3. Better Mood: Physical activity stimulates various brain chemicals that may leave you feeling happier and more relaxed.

4. Weight Management: Regular exercise can help you control your weight by burning excess calories.

5. Enhanced Self-Esteem: Getting in shape can improve your confidence and overall sense of well-being.

6. Stress Relief: Exercise is a great way to unwind and reduce stress levels.

7. Better Sleep: Regular physical activity can help you fall asleep faster and deepen your sleep.

Reasons Why You SHOULDN’T GET FIT

1. “You might get too ripped and accidentally startle people with your newfound muscles.”

2. “You’ll have to spend more money on smaller clothes, and shopping can be exhausting.”

3. “Gym selfies might become a serious hazard to your phone’s storage capacity.”

4. “You may develop an unexpected addiction to avocado toast and protein shakes.”

5. “People might confuse your increased water consumption with a newfound interest in aquatic sports.”

6. “You’ll have to come to terms with the fact that sweatpants are no longer acceptable everyday attire.”

7. “You’ll have to endure the struggle of trying not to drop weights on your toes during strength training.”

8. “Finding the perfect workout playlist can become a never-ending quest for the Holy Grail.”

9. “You might start speaking in gym lingo and confuse your friends with terms like ‘burpees’ and ‘AMRAP.’”

10. “You’ll have to resist the urge to flex in every reflective surface you encounter.”

A little love mixed with humor!

Vice President Kamala Harris Chooses Minnesota Governor Tim Walz As Her Running Mate | 3CHICSPOLITICO

@KamalaHarris
I am proud to announce that I’ve asked
@Tim_Walz
to be my running mate.

As a governor, a coach, a teacher, and a veteran, he’s delivered for working families like his.

It’s great to have him on the team.

Tim Walz is Kamala Harris’ VP pick: Minnesota governor named running mate: Live updates

Kamala Harris picked Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her vice presidential running mate on Tuesday, according to a source familiar with the decision, thrusting the outspoken Midwestern statesman into the national spotlight while adding a key ally to her fast-moving campaign for the presidency.

Walz, 60, brings political acuity, suburban-and-rural appeal and progressive patriotism to a competition where all three criteria are seen as helpful for Democrats to clinch a 2024 win against the Republican ticket of former President Donald Trump and and Sen. JD Vance, R-Ohio.

A military veteran, former public school teacher and six-term congressman, Walz is now serving the sixth year of his eight-year stint as governor of the North Star State.

He has been an ardent supporter of President Joe Biden and was a surrogate for his reelection campaign. After the president’s disastrous debate performance in June, Walz often took to the airwaves to defend Biden and boast about the administration’s accomplishments, even in the face of Democratic doubts.

After Biden dropped out of the race on July 21 amid rising concerns about his age, Walz took to X, formerly Twitter, calling him “an American hero” and saying that history “will look fondly on his legacy.”

In naming Walz as her running mate, Harris selected a pro-union Democrat who can speak to the concerns of blue-collar workers in Midwestern states – and beyond.

I can’t say that I’m disappointed.
I’m very happy about this choice.
We need to keep our Midwestern wall, and I think Walz will help with that. What he’s been able to get passed and sign into law helping people in Minnesota? Chef’s kiss.
He is a very good messenger. Stays on message and is so focused. And, he does it with that Minnesota Nice.

It is the honor of a lifetime to join @kamalaharris in this campaign.

I’m all in.

Vice President Harris is showing us the politics of what’s possible. It reminds me a bit of the first day of school.

So, let’s get this done, folks! Join us. https://t.co/tqOVsw2OLM

The first major decision a party nominee makes is their choice for Vice President. And Kamala Harris has made a great decision in choosing Governor Tim Walz to be her running mate.

I’ve known Tim Walz for nearly two decades, first during his time in Congress and as Governor. A husband and father, he’s been a school teacher and a high school football coach. He served for 24 years in the Army National Guard and became the highest ranking enlisted soldier to ever serve in Congress. As Governor, he’s been a strong, principled, and effective leader.

The Harris-Walz ticket will be a powerful voice for working people and America’s great middle class. They will be the strongest defenders of our personal freedoms and our democracy. And they will ensure that America continues to lead the world and play its role as the indispensable nation.

It’s time for all Democrats—and indeed all Americans—committed to freedom, democracy, and American leadership in the world to rally behind the Harris-Walz ticket.

Every generation of Americans faces a moment where they are asked to defend American democracy. That moment is now.— Joe Biden (@JoeBiden) August 6, 2024

प्यास / Thirst – Kaushal Kishore

 

चाहे जितनी भी घनघोर बारिश 

ये काले बादल करा दे…

कुछ प्यास फिर भी बुझती नहीं 

मौसमी फुहारों की ठंडक से…

🌨️🌨️🌨️🌨️🌨️🌨️

Dark clouds unleash their deluge grey,

Seasonal showers may bring heavy rain…

For some, the rain revives, but can’t stay,

Some deeper thirsts still refuse to wane…

.

August 4, 2024 A New Trail —Mary Banning Way | Saint Andrews Forest Farm

Amanita banningiana, Mary Banning Slender Caesar, has been found in every corner of Saint Andrews Forest Farm.

Mary Elizabeth Banning (1832-1903) was an American mycologist and botanical illustrator from Maryland. She described 23 previously unknown species of fungi. Her scientific achievements remained unrecognized during her lifetime. With no formal schooling or training, and during her free time, as she taught children and took care of her sick mother and older sister, she created the first mycological study of fungi in America with “The Fungi of Maryland.” This manuscript includes 174 13” by 15” watercolor paintings of various fungal species. She self funded her own study and lived in ever increasing poverty.

♫ Only You ♫ | Filosofa’s Word

This was the only Platters recording on which songwriter and manager Ram played the piano.  The group was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1990 and into the Vocal Group Hall of Fame in its inaugural year of 1998.

A bit of added trivia this time ’round:  In 1974, Ringo Starr covered this song for his album Goodnight Vienna at the suggestion of John Lennon. This version was released as a single (b/w “Call Me”) on 11 November in the US,  and it became a number six hit on the US Billboard best seller chart and reached number one on the Easy Listening chart in early 1975. It was released in the UK on 15 November. Lennon plays acoustic guitar on the track, and recorded a guide vocal which was kept by producer Richard Perry. Harry Nilsson sings harmony vocals and appears with Starr in the amusing music video filmed on top of the Capitol Records Building in Los Angeles.
