Monday. Ugh. It’s about as much fun as finding a wad of hair in your morning coffee.
Which, come to think of it, is probably a pretty common occurrence for Garfield there. No wonder he’s so pissy about them.
Nonetheless, because it is Monday, that is also an opportunity for yer very ‘eavy, very ‘umble servant to post my usual long list of videos, pics, and asshattery. It’s your Monday morning pick-me-up, and I’m guessing that some of you really need it right now.
Let’s get started with a shot in the arm of some serious gym motivation.
For those of you who follow bodybuilding – I keep a sort of casual eye on it, simply because it’s amusing to watch these ridiculous caricatures posing in teeny tiny mankinis on stage while layering on way too much spray-tan – the name Calum Von Moger may mean something:
I don’t have much respect for bodybuilders – at least, not for the ones who lift dinky weights for hundreds of reps instead of lifting real daddy-weight – but I do respect perseverance and fortitude.
Calum Von Moger has both, in spades.
The guy tore a bicep doing something really stupid, and then tore the ligaments in his knee doing something even more stupid. So it is probably safe to say that he is not exactly the sharpest tool in the shed.
But, given where he was and where he is now, he has made tremendous progress in a very short time.
Of course, you and I both know that he did it with the help of some Vitamin S, ifyaknowhatImean. Any Fule Kno That. You just do not pack on that amount of muscle, with that level of definition and conditioning, without a lot of “special help”.

While we’re on the subject, here is a really fascinating interview on the subject of steroids – and it is a real eye-opener when it comes to the downside of juicing:
I have argued for the entire existence of this blog against using steroids and drugs. If you start, you will never really stop. The side effects and crash that come from stopping the cycles will absolutely destroy your gains, your self-confidence, your sex drive, and just about everything that defines you as a man.
Just Say No, boys.

Friend of the blog and fellow shitlord The Male Brain sent over a very interesting video in an email, telling me that it would be a fun video to include in the next edition of Monday blues cure. He was, of course, quite right:
“How this whiny little shit” – cut to a clip of Jake Loyd being, of course, incredibly annoying – “evolved into the Dark Lord of the Sith”… pure gold, that line.

#BasedTucker is Based:
And here’s what he had to say about the sheer lunacy, and utter idiocy, of the Daemoncrat debates from last week:

Our boy Razor utterly shreds Alexandria Occasional-Cortex’s brain fart about “concentration camps” on the American southern border:
“The Year of Our Lemmy” – genius. I tip my hat to you, sir.
***
While we’re on the subject of Hispanic stupidity – the Daemoncrat Presidential nominee debate from last week descended very quickly into utter farce, because apparently the clowns on-stage thought that they were running for the President of Mexico:
Hey, how’s this for a border security idea – DEPORT ALL DEMOCRATS!!!
Not just that, but send them straight to Mexico, Honduras, Guatemala, and Venezuela. Let’s see how they like actual socialism.
I mean, when you get owned by Li’l Marco Rubio the next morning, you know you are made of FAIL:

Paul Ramsey has some interesting thoughts to add about student loan debt cancellation:

Our beloved and dreaded Supreme Dark Lord (PBUH), on the other hand, thinks that student loan debt forgiveness is a splendid idea:

I’m not actually a big fan of Carl Benjamin’s – a.k.a. Sargon of Akkad – but he makes an excellent point about how overexposure to the tranny freaks and gay degenerates of the LGBTQWTFISTHISSHIT crowd is turning the yoof right against them:

PJW tells some hard but necessary truths about how far down the shitter London has gone:
I lived in London during my college days for 3 years, and then again for 5 months for work. The second time around was a hell of a lot more fun, because London is vastly more enjoyable when you have, y’know, money to spend – it’s a damned expensive place to live.
But if you read my blog posts from late October 2014 to early April 2015, you will see what I saw back then.
I could see that the city was getting worse by the day. It was becoming less safe, less secure, more diverse, and more depressing every single day. And that was 4 years ago.
I’m thinking of going back there soon for a visit, and I shudder to think of what I will find.
***
PJW also set about shredding AOC’s credibility with all of the savagery and sadistic delight of a cat attacking a roll of toilet paper in the Battle of the Acronymised Personas:
At this point, I’m beginning to wonder whether Alexandria Occasional-Cortex is just a very sophisticated Matrix-plant designed to give us on the Right something to point and laugh at for being unbelievably stupid – which of course distracts us from fighting the true evil of the Left.
That’s just a theory, but it is somewhat compelling.

Here is Robin Williams being… well… Robin Williams:
What a colossal comedic talent, and what a gaping hole its loss has left. Requiescat in pace, sir. You are greatly missed.

From Robin Williams being a genius, to Sheldon Cooper being a gigantic asshole:

Here are 3 for the nerds:

And here’s one for the history buffs:

Alan Roberts was a guy that I used to follow and listen to back in the day, but I found his ranting to be a bit annoying and tuned out after a while. However, over the last couple of years he has seriously upped his video game, and now he has set his sights on tearing apart an Instathot who thinks that her opinions on medical matters should be taken seriously:
If you are wondering whether this Madalin Giorgetta thot is worth listening to – well, no, she isn’t, but the funny thing is, she isn’t really worth looking at either. That’s just my opinion, though – let’s see what y’all have to say:

Hmph. No tits, fat ass, average face, lots of Botox and fillers – and a screaming-crazy liberaltard to boot.
Yeah, no thanks. You’ll find better during peak hour at any decent-sized gym in Moscow every single day of the week.
Oh, and can I just say – where else do you go to get three-for-one servings of girls and bikinis on a Monday, eh? It’s a public service that I’m doing here, boys.

Microsoft apparently doesn’t like it when their employees use other people’s software:
Employees at Microsoft have been banned from using workplace tool Slack, reveals a leaked internal document.
The ban is reportedly due to computer and data security concerns, rather than attempts to prevent staff from using the competitor’s software.
Other prohibited tools include writing aide Grammarly and the security software developed by Kaspersky Lab.
The leaked memo also advises Microsoft employees against the used of other software, including rival products Google Docs and Amazon Web Services.
Microsoft’s internal list of prohibited and discouraged technology — covering both software and online services — was obtained and verified by GeekWire.
Employees at the Redmond, Washington-based tech firm were reportedly surprised that they going to be unable to use Slack to assist with their work.
The cloud-based collaborative software suite is joined on Microsoft’s ‘prohibited’ list by grammar and spelling checker Grammarly, and the anti-virus and online security software made by Moscow-based Kaspersky Lab.
Sure it’s for security reasons. Uh-huh. Yeah. I’m sure it has nothing whatsoever to do with the possibility that the alternatives don’t have completely FUBAR’d user interfaces and aren’t buggier than a roach motel and aren’t running on an operating system so crufty that you have to smack your own computer with a shovel just to get it to do what you want.
Keep talkin’, Mr. Softy. Eventually you’ll end up going the same way that Clippy did.

Actually, as far as I’m concerned, Lincoln’s face should be transformed into Ronald Reagan’s, and then Donald Trump’s face goes right next to his.

Your gym fails for this week come with actual commentary from the Trap Lord himself:
***
And now for a true gym beast, in the form of Ronnie “The King” Coleman, who is back in the gym and training (again) after getting more back surgeries (again):
I do think that Ronnie Coleman probably is training stupid (again, again) because his doctors have consistently told him for years that he needs to let his body heal and recover after surgery – especially back surgery, to fix all of the damage that he has done to his lower back in particular after so many years of squatting and deadlifting insane amounts of weight with, let’s face it, not the greatest form.
None of that takes away from the fact that Ronnie himself thought, less than six months ago, that he might never walk again – and now here he is in the gym, doing leg presses.

Seeing as how this weekend will see Holly Holm take on Amanda Nunes for the UFC Women’s Bantamweight championship, I figure it is worth taking yet another look at that wonderful Headkick Heard ‘Round the World:
I never, ever, EVER get tired of watching that headshot.
***
Your “Buakaw the Human Terminator” clip of the week:
This is one of the rare fights where you see Buakaw retreating from an opponent, simply because he was forced back, but that doesn’t seem to faze him in any way. He simply gets on with the business of destroying his opponent as ruthlessly as possible.
The way he simply marches down his opponents and massacres them with brutal, explosive, precise strikes is both astonishing and terrifying to watch.
And then there is the last two minutes or so of the fight, where he literally opens up a muay thai clinic on his opponent – with just one leg. He isn’t even kicking the guy with his power leg – he’s just smashing his front leg into Nakajima, and he’s barely fighting at 50%.
If you have seen him fighting against Mike “Iron Hands” Zambidis, or Andy Souwer, or that classic first fight against Masato, you’ll know what he’s like when he’s PISSED and fighting at 100%. But somehow, when he’s just dicking with his opponent, he’s even scarier.
***
Oh, and if you want to know what Buakaw at 100% looks like:
It is no exaggeration to say that Buakaw would likely have been the K-1 MAX world champion at least three, and maybe as many as five, times if the K-1 organisation didn’t keep changing their own rules just to deal with Buakaw’s near-total dominance. He literally walked out of his title fight with Enriko Kehl in 2014 – a fight that he was winning, hands-down, despite the judges ridiculously calling it a “draw” – precisely because of corruption within and outside the organisation.
And if you watch that fight, you will see that Buakaw absolutely deserved to win:

Whoa… dat bass… And yes, it’s a pure parody track. It’s really funny if you listen to the lyrics.
And of course, to round them all off – one of the very best tracks ever recorded by THE GREATEST BAND OF ALL TIME:

Your Monday morning Instathot actually is not that big a thot, if I am any judge of such things. Her name is Teodora Todorova, she is from Bulgaria, and she studies dental medicine and loves sports, travel, puppies, sunshine, rainbows, and all other girly things.
She also has a very lovely smile. Honestly, I can’t find anything worthy of fault in her.
Happy Monday, boys – good luck trying to get your hungover brains past that oxymoron.

The Constitution of the Spartans was a good video. I thought the ending solution to there problem was bad, bring immigration or give helots citizenship to fix the spartan problem. Only a Person who was Economist or Liberal Minded person would think this would work. He pointed near the start of the video the rich women in Sparta getting the land their husband had and passing it down to their daughters. This would be why the birth rates were falling.
One of the reasons given to why Sparta and Athens went to war was Spartan fears of being over taken as the power house in Grecce. Their population of fighting age males was declining every generation by the end of the Peloponnesian War they were using Heltos and Other Greeks.

Correct. Aristotle made this point very clear in his dissection of Spartan society – "the license of the Lacedaemonian women defeats the intention of the Spartan constitution, and is adverse to the happiness of the state".
What I find really remarkable about the Spartans is how much time, effort, and thought they put into ensuring a serious balance of power – and yet they were undone by their own women and the inheritance laws relating to the same.
Even so, their Constitution and way of life was by far the most enlightened of its time and lasted well over a thousand years – whereas Athens went from democracy to empire to tyranny in the space of 100.

Thanks, I'll check it out. I'm a big fan of Victor Davis Hanson's work also.
