I'm thinking about getting a weighted hula hoop to add into my in-home exercise routine (in my isolated pandemic space station life). I have enough room.

Questions for Masto friends: If you successfully use a weighted hula hoop occasionally or regularly, what have you learned about them that you'd like to share? Is there a brand, model or particular features that you recommend? How do you fit it into your routine? Share your hoop lore with me! 1/n

My weighted hoop has foam-like padding, which adds to the grip and resistance. I don't know what hoops are made of these days.

Admittedly, I prefer my small hoop because it's more manageable and I can kind of zone out (okay, watch television) while seeing how long I can keep the hoop going without dropping it (I think I've gone 15-20 mins without dropping).

I went to a drop-in hula hoop class a few times in 2015 at a burlesque fitness studio to learn some moves. The standard hoops were all way bigger than what I guess is a child's size hoop that I have at home. And, of course, I've forgotten most of the moves—but I think a lot of the moves were akin to baton twirling. 3/3

Johnson’s spending nightmare points to grueling GOP problems next year

Donald Trump is opening the door to a government shutdown. At least one conservative is now saying they won’t back Johnson for speaker. It doesn’t stop there.

Bransle de l'Official / Ding Dong! Merrily On High

The popular Christmas carol "Ding Dong! Merrily On High" is based on a French renaissance dance from Thoinot Arbeau's Orchésographie. In this video, I look at the tune and play two arrangements of it. The descriptions of the various dances are taken from Mary Stewart Evans's translation (see below).

Instruments used in this video:
Thorn Wych "box" linear ocarina in G
John Langley "concert" pendant ocarinas in D and G (alto, tenor, bass, great bass)

Sources:
- Orchésographie (Thoinot Arbeau) - translated by Mary Stewart Evans with notes by Julia Sutton (ISBN 0-486-21745-0)

Adorable idea! These second-graders in Wyoming colored pictures of striped hats in whatever colors they wanted. Then adult knitters, including their teacher, knit the hats as designed by the kids and gave them the hats. What a great idea! (Try to ignore the fact that the reporter doesn't know there's a difference between knit and crochet.)

Just finished Late Night With the Devil and in terms of scare, it was meh.

Good concept, competent execution, but it felt like something you'd see on Night Gallery.

It tries to talk about trauma being used as entertainment, but it felt overly ham-handed.

I'd give it a C+

« She also took umbrage with Amazon entertainment executive Jennifer Salke’s use of the word “content” to describe new James Bond projects » damn right!

"Content" is a soulless and empty term devoid of art and spirit. It is an interchangeable piece, a term for a slot in a structure… it's not a film, a book, or a story. It's a unit of distribution and sale.

Multiple stories (Germany, SF..) of drivers purposefully using their vehicles as weapons in pedestrian spaces. We've had the technology to restrict drivers from pedestrian spaces for ages, but we rarely use it because we want drivers to be able to drive anywhere and everywhere. We've also had these events happen before (eg, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2017_New_York_City_truck_attack ), but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ .
