Which martial art?
  • Carl launched himself into the air, a meteor of fury aiming to put a crater in Steven's sternum. He had trained for months to finally put an end to Steven's reign of terror and this was his moment. However, something was wrong. Why were there suddenly two Segals? It took only a millisecond for Carl to realize that his rival had employed gravitational lensing and his kick was completely off target, but it was already too late. With a flick of his wrist, Steven sent Carl flailing. Carl could only manage to grab Steven's collar, pulling them both into the telepod. The door slammed shut.

    Neil watched from the shadows, smirking. The reign of Tyson was about to begin. His hand hovered over the keyboard.

    Which martial art?

    I'm considering signing my six year old up for martial arts class, but I'm not sure which one to choose. To be clear, it's not because we're dealing with a bullying situation or anything like that. It's more about starting a new physical activity, but I do want my kid to get some self-defense skills out of it. Our local options appear to be Taekwondo, Kung-fu, and Jiu-Jitsu/MMA. I did Taekwondo when I was a kid and it was fine, but I'm not sure that it's practical for self defense. Jiu-Jitsu/MMA seems very practical for self-defense, but the studios that offer it seem a little bit too blue-lives-matter for my liking. As for Kung-fu, I just know nothing about it.

    How did you decide on a martial art for your kids?

    Trump pledges to 'take, not buy' Gaza in meeting with Jordanian king
  • It fits on with what I thought would happen when all the genocide Joe people were insisting things couldn’t get worse.

    Biden also tried to facilitate the ethnic cleansing of Gaza by influencing Egypt. We're still on the same, genocidal Zionist track as we have been.

  • Teen on Musk’s DOGE Team Graduated from ‘The Com’
  • Yeah, the headline is a little misleading. It's definitely an indictment that he had anything to do with those people, but to say that he graduated from there implies that he's earned some modicum of respect. That doesn't appear to be the case at all.

    It's a long article, but basically this guy was trying to sell cyber security services within Discord servers belonging to The Com, a network of satanic neonazi communities notoriously based on child exploitation.

  • I think he had at least one Indian coworker and his Twitter account was specifically racist against Indians. Who was going to bother to fight to keep this twenty-something from Rutgers around?

  • Trump orders creation of US sovereign wealth fund
  • That's what I'm thinking, that in the right hands a sovereign wealth fund would give the government a more subtle and possibly more effective means to acquire controlling stakes in various corporations than eminent domain.

    CrimeDad (@crimedad@pixelfed.crimedad.work)

    This evening my uncle messaged me to let me know that Moms Across America commissioned testing that found glyphosate and heavy metal contamination in Girl Scout cookies. To be fair, he did just buy some from my kid (no refunds!) and I understand the concern about food contamination, but something is off. What's the deal with Moms Across America? Why is their CEO a vaccine skeptic hoping to get hired by RFK Jr.? It seems like an organic food/anti-vax lobbying organization, but I wonder if there's more to it than that. Is she just that effective as an individual mom influencer?
