I did not make this up. Also, I hope that this story will not get me banned.
There is apparently a new emerging new-age health trend. It’s called perineum sunning. For the record, the perineum is the bit of skin between your genitals and your anus, but it seems the target most people who do this have in mind is the anus.
I am not making this up.
The goal is to expose your anus to 30 seconds of sunlight a day. It is claimed that doing so will fill you with energy.
I am not going to post photos of people performing this practice here because, as I said, I don’t want to get banned, but I will link to a youtube. (No naughty bits are shown, but there is visible man bun—both kinds.) Standard practice is to lie on your back, spread and raise your legs, and point your anus toward the sun, for 30 seconds.
For some reason, most health professionals believe that this practice is hogwash, and suggest that exposing a part of the body to solar radiation that never sees sunlight under normal circumstances (“where the sun don’t shine”) could do real damage. Just ask actor Josh Brolin, who overdid it, and is now suffering the consequences.
I am not making this up.

From Tangentially Yours:
This comment from Mishima in Walter Einenkel’s front page post on Stanford Law Professor Pamela Karlan’s evisceration of ranking Republican Doug Collins. I am a sailor, so mentally parsing the "sailboat fuel" which I immediately recognized as WIND was so perfect for a republican to wield and nothing else. And then the rejoinder of the sentence was perfect for the situation, the people testifying today are intellectually swift and sharp. Very clever, fun, and apt. Thank you, Mishima!
