If you do not hear my co-author on 6 books, @Yossi_Melman's analysis on @NPR you are really missing smart, thorough analysis of #IranWar incl. it could become an endless "war of attrition." Hear it here: npr.org/2026/03/22/nx-…

@agingroy @DavidtherealDJ Can you get again after 7 years?

Current data: 2 doses of Shingrix (2-6 months apart) and you're done. 90%+ efficacy holds for 7+ years. This study's 4+ year biological aging benefits suggest the suppression of viral reactivation is durable. Longer-term booster studies are ongoing. The honest answer is we don't yet know if boosters add more aging protection.

A single shot that slows your biological clock. Five aging markers improved. Benefits lasting 4+ years. New study (n=3,884, US Health and Retirement Study) Shingles vaccination was associated with: -> Lower inflammation (p=0.003) -> Slower epigenetic aging (p=0.0001) -> Slower transcriptomic aging (p<0.0001) -> Lower composite biological aging score (p=0.0002) The mechanism: chickenpox virus hides in your nerve cells for life. As you age, it reactivates silently, fueling chronic inflammation even without causing shingles. Suppressing that reactivation removes a hidden accelerant of biological aging. The shingles vaccine is recommended for adults 50+ and covered at no cost by most insurance plans. Vaccines aren’t just for preventing infection anymore. They’re longevity tools.

@paulg Congrats!

It's Y Combinator's 21st birthday today.

Usa! :)

This is how to end a race! Congratulations to Nathan Martin --- a high school cross country coach in Michigan --- on winning the LA Marathon.

Shah's son @PahlaviReza did a good job on CBS, but I go with experts who say USA installing him in #iran is very unlikely. Expect deals with "moderates" in a future regime. @60Minutes report by @ScottPelley: youtu.be/jDfvAMK4Q0A?si…

The #Mossad had to have set up these airstrikes — just as 140 non-#Israeli Mossad spies in #Iran did last June. @yossi_melman and I wrote an e-book on that, “Target: Iran”. a.co/d/0cZRcw0G

#IDF chief of staff, in speech to #Israel forces, asked that they fight in spirit of #Purim when it was proved (in Persia!) that Jews have to defend themselves. TV commentators wonder if the kids and families can celebrate Purim, with costumes, etc, Monday evening + this week.

@cremieuxrecueil @SimoneSyed what co where

@SimoneSyed Modafanil is a drug that wakes you right up. The soda is a product that a company is testing right now.

I tried modafanil soda and it tasted terrible. But, I can confirm that it works.

Yes, yes, Team USA (I mean Witkoff and Jared Kushner) agree to talk with #Iran on Tuesday in Geneva. But does anybody expect success, for a military strike to be averted? Find/hear The Mossad# Files. And consider my skepticism, guesting on @i24News_EN youtu.be/fwUem_3981c

In Jerusalem (again!) Sen. @LindseyGrahamSC says no daylight between Trump + #Netanyahu on whether and how to strike #Iran. The "disagreement" is a ploy? In video extra from The #Mossad Files, I discuss with analyst @JoelMartinRubin -- on #Gaza too: youtu.be/VECaUizoJqA

.@blinkist just sent out a scam ad, using my name and photo, offering a list of 5 book recs from me, but it's just an AI-written advertisement for them. They even call me a "Harvard professor." I am canceling my subscription blinkist.com/pt/magazine/po…

@WalshFreedom You say do not physically resist but show them physically resisting?

THIS IS ILLEGAL! If ICE Breaks a Window and Enters Your Home Without a Judicial Warrant, It Is Illegal. They are violating your Fourth Amendment rights. Here's what PAXIS.app says you should do: 1. State Clearly: “I Do Not Consent to This Entry” Say this loud and calm. It makes clear that they are acting without your permission. 2. State Clearly: “I Need to See a Judicial Warrant Signed by a Judge” A real judicial warrant must be signed by a judge from a court — not an ICE supervisor. A Form I-200 or I-205 is not a judicial warrant. It does not allow entry. 3. Document Everything Record video if possible: include the agents, broken window, what they say and do. Narrate the date, time, and details out loud during recording. Collect names, badge numbers, and what was said. 4. Do Not Physically Resist Even though the entry is unlawful, do not push or fight. Why? Because physical resistance may be used to escalate or justify harm. Stay calm. Stand back. Use your words and the law. 5. Contact a Lawyer Immediately You have the right to report the unlawful entry and seek legal action. Call an immigration attorney or civil rights organization. Ask for help filing a civil rights complaint against ICE. Help support getting PAXIS into the hands of every immigrant: gofundme.com/f/PAXIS Important Reminder: A warrant signed by an immigration judge is not valid for entering your home. Only a judicial warrant signed by a court judge can authorize ICE to force entry.

President Trump argues the country should move on from the Epstein files and lashes out when asked about the survivors' response to the latest release from the Justice Department.

Trump Scolds CNN’s Kaitlan Collins for ‘Not Smiling’ nytimes.com/2026/02/03/us/… via @NYTimes

@kaitlancollins @andersoncooper she has the first generation, highest res video, should be contacted for that if nothing else

Wow. The woman who recorded Alex Pretti's shooting tells @andersoncooper she has still not been contacted by anyone in the federal government as part of its investigation.

@gfodor @patrickc its's

@patrickc I agree that its’ rules are annoying

Much as I'm a stickler for "it's" vs "its", I think we have to accept that these words simply have bad UI and that the developers should fix things in a point release.

@Crime_In_NYC Are there any news reports on this?

Monday, January 19th at 11:30 p.m. on the J train, near the Van Siclen Avenue station. The person who recorded the incident stated that the assailant started asking the victim why he was staring at him, and the teenage victim never answered. Then the attack began.
