It doesn't have to be about politics, I like to read things about people all around the world that are usually hidden from the public eye,

sports journalism surprised me the most, here are two articles I really liked:

in the second one, one guy sang "The Ballad of Blasphemous Bill" while they were stuck on a lake in winter,

this one is great too:

why in a month? start doing body weight exercises while you wait for the gym membership, actually only doing them is a great improvement, you won't believe how far you can go with push ups/pull ups/dips/squats/etc. combined with a proper diet and adding running/push ups combo every other day, it will improve your posture and make you look more fit and healthy

main thing is to reach your limit and get your muscles really tired, doesn't matter how

you won't look like Schwarzenegger but it will do enough so you don't feel like killing yourself every time you stand naked in front of a mirror, I was so skinny that I remember thinking "damn, if I was a girl and saw this body, I would kindly refuse to do anything with it", now it's a different story though

the good thing is that it only gets better the more you work,
