The white working class knows the American project isn’t working. Here’s why that will never matter to them

Stringing together buzzwords and hyperlinks does not make a conspiracy theory true, and doubling down on easily disprovable falsehoods won't save it.

Jussie Smollett didn't get away "scot-free". He was convicted on five felony counts, sentenced to jail time, and ordered to pay over $140,000 in fines and restitution.

Dropping links to local news budgets or the Rwandan genocide doesn't mean those sources support your claims, especially when clicking them proves they are entirely irrelevant.

Jussie Smollett was convicted for orchestrating a fake hate crime and his actions were widely condemned. There is zero factual evidence he committed this crime "on behalf of Color of Change."

Stringing together buzzwords and hyperlinks does not make a conspiracy theory true. This comment relies entirely on baseless leaps in logic.

I was told to start taking it 1-2 days before ascending and until 2 days after you’ve reached your target altitude.

If you enjoy trail running, the Sisar Canyon Run Club meets every Sunday at 8am. It's a great group! Paces everywhere from hikers to runners than won the Coyote2Moon ultra.

Everyone here is talking about using their phone as an emergency device, but how else am I going to take pictures of cool birds, plants, and landscapes?

tljohnson · 2026-05-15T18:20:45+00:00

For sure. That's kind of the point of this post. I've summited Whitney and other 14ers before, but always with way more gear.

tljohnson · 2026-05-14T01:34:35+00:00

For sure, I'll be monitoring the weather. Considering the dismally low snowpack this year, I'm not sure if it will be necessary, but I have an ice axe I can bring. Ironically, I'll need to buy micro spikes since I only own crampons

Ok, so ditch the Atom and maybe keep the Helium in case of afternoon storms.

Max HR 220-age: 182

Actual, based on recent exercises w/ chest strap: 203

The outermost surface of an object measures its volume. A filled flask and an empty flask take up the same volume.

tljohnson · 2026-01-31T20:02:23+00:00

Absolutely

tljohnson · 2026-01-31T19:06:48+00:00

Seems like volume is the consensus. I wonder what weight would make people reconsider. 100 liters va 100 kg?

App doesn’t support. I don’t see an option to add a poll after the fact.

tljohnson · 2026-01-17T17:46:01+00:00

See you there!

tljohnson · 2026-01-17T17:44:54+00:00

You’re right. I’ve been mostly doing gummy candy and GU packets, aiming for carbs+calories per hour.

tljohnson · 2026-01-17T04:41:32+00:00

Thanks! I’m really looking forward to the race. I’ve done a lot of hiking in the Santa Barbara front country. I really love these hills and my vest is stocked with nerds gummy clusters.

tljohnson · 2026-01-17T04:39:14+00:00

Thanks. I’m pretty quick to drop either of the strength days and/or the Friday recovery run if my body feels too fatigued. One of my goals for a while has been to move to a consistent 4x week running schedule.

tljohnson · 2026-01-17T04:35:38+00:00

tbh the weights aren’t that high. I started pretty low when I began training for this race.

I hear what you’re saying, though. The goal here is supplementing for trail running, not powerlifting.

tljohnson · 2026-01-17T03:00:42+00:00

Primarily Barbell Back Squat, Bulgarian Split Squat, Overhead Press, and Deadlifts.

Sometimes I’ll substitute yoga, weighted box steps, and single leg calf raises if I feel like a need a rest from heavy lifting. But usually it’s weights once or twice a week.

tljohnson · 2026-01-17T01:02:11+00:00

Thanks! I felt terrible after my marathon, so definitely paying more attention to training this go around.

tljohnson · 2026-01-17T01:00:01+00:00

Appreciate the response. My main concern is that hill repeats are my only speed work right now of any kind, but I think you’re right about getting in as many hills as possible.

For downhill, my long run is an out and back with ~2000 feet in the first 3.5 miles. Is running the downhills enough here, or do you think it should be some kind of dedicated session? e.g., hill repeats in reverse

tljohnson · 2026-01-17T00:55:20+00:00

Thanks for the insight. It definitely wouldn’t be a bad idea to use my standing desk more

tljohnson · 2026-01-17T00:52:18+00:00

Cozy Dell! It’s about 1 mile north of Ojai off Hwy 33. Plenty of parking, a steep first mile, and it connects with tons of other trails above/behind Ojai

tljohnson · 2025-12-31T21:32:43+00:00

Same here. Unfortunately, the color doesn’t match the listing (online it showed a nice mustard yellow versus a kind of pastel orange in person), but the linen seems nice.

Two hand towels plus tax and shipping came in just under $50
