Man of Action

Me and the boys descending from our DARK TOWER after BROODING and PLOTTING to wreak HAVOC and MAYHEM on Boomers that voted for Ted Kennedy

Has anyone in DC noticed how retarded it is that the Pentagon has no way to turn high altitude, high-speed, low-volume airpower into low-altitude, low-speed, high-volume drone power? Quadcopters are 80% of the way to obsoleting infantry. You could literally just drop them

I think this is another example of how US discourse has been frozen in amber since the 60s; there is precisely one war in US history in which this characterization (very little upper class participation plus a draft) is approximately correct: Vietnam.

My client spent $14,000 on couples therapy. His wife was ready to file for divorce. Their therapist spent 3 years diagnosing "avoidant attachment." Not once in over 150 sessions did anyone suggest a blood test. His total testosterone came back at 287 ng/dL. He was 34. Free T barely measurable. SHBG through the roof. Estradiol elevated. This man wasn't emotionally unavailable. His brain was running on fumes. Testosterone directly modulates: > Motivation and drive > Emotional processing and empathy > Stress resilience > Verbal fluency > Physical affection and libido When your T is that low, you don't WANT to talk. You don't WANT to be touched. You don't WANT to engage. Not because you don't care. Because your neurochemistry physically can't produce the response. He wasn't choosing to withdraw. His biology was withdrawing FOR him. Here's the protocol that brought him back: > Sleep fixed first. Blue light cut at 8pm. Room at 67°F. Magnesium glycinate 400mg before bed > Diet overhauled. 1g protein per lb bodyweight. 3 whole eggs and red meat daily for cholesterol (precursor to ALL sex hormones) > Micronutrients: zinc 30mg, boron 10mg, vitamin D3 5000 IU + K2 — all directly support T production and lower SHBG > Liver support for the elevated SHBG — NAC 600mg 2x/day, milk thistle, cut alcohol completely > Estradiol management — DIM 200mg, calcium d-glucarate 500mg to support estrogen clearance > 4x/week compound lifts. Heavy. Squats, deadlifts, presses. No 90-minute treadmill sessions 6 weeks in. He called me and said "I feel like I fell in love with my wife again." No. You just got your brain back. $14,000 and 3 years on a couch talking about his childhood when the answer was in his blood the entire time. If your relationship feels dead and you haven't run a full hormone panel — total T, free T, SHBG, estradiol, prolactin — you don't have a relationship problem. You have an untested biology problem. Get the panel. Before you sign the papers. I break down the full hormone-to-behavior connection on my Substack. Link in bio.

Neoliberal deregulation and new market-rate construction will never deliver affordability on a fast enough schedule. Cities need to look beyond these kind of market-oriented solutions and embrace ideas like higher crime and worse schools to drive rents down fast.

Robert is thirty-six years old. In 1247, this is not young. Robert knows this. His knees know this. His back has known this since approximately 1239. Robert lives in a village in Worcestershire with his wife Agnes, three surviving children, and two chickens he is not allowed to eat because the chickens produce eggs and the eggs matter more than the chickens. Today is a Tuesday in March. Robert will describe it as a Tuesday in March. The concept of a 'week' as a unit of leisure is not yet something Robert has access to. 5:00am - Up. Pottage on the fire. The pottage is oats, leeks, and some dried parsnip from the autumn store. There is a small piece of salted pork in it, approximately the size of Robert's thumb. It is mostly flavouring. Robert eats around it for as long as possible, then eats it, then thinks about it for the rest of the morning. 6:00am - Field. Robert works the lord's strip first, then his own. The ground is still cold. His boots have a hole. He has had the hole since October. He has packed it with rags. The rags are wet. They will remain wet until June. Robert is technically eating a plant-based diet. He is not doing this by choice. He is doing this because meat belongs to the lord, the deer belong to the king's forest, and the last man in this village who was caught with an unlicensed rabbit spent a period in the stocks that his family still doesn't fully discuss. 10:00am - Brief rest. Rye bread, hard. A small onion. Robert thinks about the pig that was slaughtered in November. He thinks about this often. The memory of fat is a specific and enduring thing when you don't have much of it. 1:00pm - Back to the field. Robert's average daily calorie intake is somewhere between 1,500 and 2,000 calories, the majority from grain. He is doing agricultural labour that modern exercise scientists would classify as extremely high intensity. He is, measurably, running on insufficient fuel. He is aware of this in the way that you are aware of things that cannot be changed: completely, and without drama. 4:00pm - Home. Agnes has made more pottage. It is similar to this morning's pottage. Robert eats it. Robert's teeth hurt. They have hurt for two years. There is no dentist. There is a barber-surgeon in the market town seven miles away. Robert cannot afford the barber-surgeon and cannot take the day from the fields. His teeth continue to hurt. 7:00pm - Sleep. Robert will be awake again at five. He is thirty-six. He will probably not see forty. The leading cause of death for men in his position is a combination of infection, injury, and the slow arithmetic of malnutrition across a lifetime. Somewhere, eight hundred years from now, someone will describe Robert's diet as "ancestral," "plant-forward," and "aligned with the earth." Robert would have a great deal to say about this. Robert does not have the energy.

BREAKING: Former Congressman Matt Gaetz reveals he was once briefed on alien "breeding programs" where captured aliens were breeding with humans to create a hybrid race.

“What’s your plan? Gonna cut your dick off, get a wig and work in Tijuana as a hooker until you get AIDS? Come back to the states and try to seduce your wife’s lover as some sort of sick revenge?” I didn’t know my advice as a young Sergeant in combat to a soldier who was Dear John’d would be followed at the highest levels
