@nextphlmayor @CMThomasPHL Perhaps he should be the mayor…

"Why didn't you put up the money up last year?" "You playing with me." "Everybody is lying." "I've been on my best behavior." "This ain't right." "That’s it, I’m done for the day.” Philadelphia City Councilmember Isaiah Thomas standing on business today.

@StuCowan1 No other sport like it

The thing that amazes me every year during first round of NHL playoffs is that the team that eventually wins the Stanley Cup has to do this basically every second night for two months. Incredible.

@aakashgupta Based on this assessment playing ice hockey would be even better

Tennis players live 9.7 years longer than sedentary people. Not 9.7 months. 9.7 years. Nearly a decade. The Copenhagen City Heart Study tracked 8,577 people for 25 years and ranked every sport by how much life it adds. Badminton: 6.2 years. Soccer: 4.7. Cycling: 3.7. Swimming: 3.4. Jogging: 3.2. Tennis almost triples jogging. A separate study of 80,000 adults found racket sports cut all-cause mortality by 47% and cardiovascular death by 56%. Swimming hit 41%. Aerobics hit 36%. The question is why racket sports destroy everything else. Three mechanisms stack on top of each other. First, the physical demands. A tennis rally requires explosive sprints, lateral cuts, and sustained aerobic output. You're training fast-twitch and slow-twitch muscle fibers simultaneously. Most cardio only trains one system. Second, the cognitive load. You're reading spin, predicting angles, adjusting position, and executing motor patterns in real-time. Your brain is solving spatial puzzles at 80+ mph. That hand-eye coordination and strategic processing builds neural connections that protect against cognitive decline. Third, and this is the one researchers keep coming back to: you literally cannot play alone. Every racket sport requires another person on the other side of the net. That forced social interaction triggers neurochemical benefits that solitary exercise cannot replicate. Strong social connection alone increases your chance of longevity by 50%. Jogging is you and your thoughts. Tennis is you, a strategic opponent, and a community. Dr. Daniel Amen is right. The data is overwhelming. If you want the single highest-ROI activity for a longer life, pick up a racket.

@Simon_Ingari Lawsuit incoming…

Our biggest rival company offered me the same role, double the salary. I handed them my resignation. HR said that my 2-week notice wasn't enough for them to find a replacement for my role. I didn't really care. Before I got out, she snapped, "You'll regret betraying us like this after 9 years!" I just smiled, not realizing what she really meant. My 1st day at the new company was a bit strange. No warm welcome, nothing. Then my blood ran cold when my new boss sent me an email. It said:↓↓↓

@ReleveRE Easy to remotely surveil

One day we will look back and wonder how they convinced people that stark white kitchens with grey painted walls and grey faux wood floors were desirable.

@ochocinco Not rock but Andres Segovia - truly amazing

Curious who is considered the greatest guitarist ever & how is that metric measured, please enlist a song to support your opinion if it’s not Eric Clapton❔

@JeffBarnes52 No way hockey is running a deficit now…multiple streams of revenue etc.

Why it’s fiscally important to have a good football program.

@aerockrose He is one of the best minds out there; beautiful contrarian

In 2013, Nassim Taleb gave a 53-min Stanford masterclass on why chaos makes some businesses stronger. His ideas: - The coffee cup that survives 4 million hits - Why helicopter engineers ride their own machines - The country where nobody knows the president 12 lessons on risk:

@newstart_2024 100%

Still thinking about this Gordon Ramsay chat from September 2024 — the man made his clean eating routine sound so straightforward it almost feels doable. When he’s in cutting mode, it’s dead simple: protein shake to start the day, scrambled eggs for lunch, and then something poached for dinner — usually chicken or fish. No big salads, nothing fancy or fad-like. He keeps it plain on the base but loads it with serious spices from his warehouse (habanero, whatever hits) so it actually tastes good instead of like punishment. The discipline part is brutal though. He’ll sit in front of an incredible dish, take exactly two mouthfuls, and force himself to walk away — even when that greedy inner voice is screaming for the whole plate. Third bite and it’s game over, he says. That chef background of grazing tiny tastes all shift long, staying light on your feet like a ballerina behind the line, clearly trained him for it. It’s not glamorous or complicated. Just consistent, painful little choices repeated. Made me rethink how I approach my own clean stretches — maybe the key really is keeping the food satisfying but simple. Anyone else tried something like Ramsay’s protein-shake + eggs + poached protein setup? Does loading basic food with good spices actually help you stick to it longer?

@brianwagner1234 Not funny but funny…Happy April Fools!

Per sources, the Philadelphia Union have inquired about Mohamed Salah in what’s being called a “earth shattering deal”. Reports are saying ownership is willing to “break the bank” to bring in Salah. The offer is reportedly in the neighborhood of $11.42. #DOOP

Without drugs... what is the greatest weapon against anxiety and depression?

@Empty_America A better question why hasn’t the test evolved in 50 years? Maybe move the score to 2000, re-stratify difficulty, add new sections…retarded that it hasn’t changed fundamentally in a long time if ever

If Harvard admitted students strictly by SAT score, filling slots in descending order starting at 1600, what would be the lowest SAT score admitted to the school? And what would be the resulting demographics of the student body?

@JoeyRiveraUSA Absolutely - Johnnie O to the rescue!

So Peter Millar is done? Should I take my talents to Johnnie O? Conflicted

@JamesDueck Dead accurate

A “healthy economy” is when a typical 90 IQ man can hold down a job earning enough to fund a modest lifestyle with his wife & kids. This only works when 130 IQ men are free to build great things as they see fit, with minimal friction from 110 IQ administrators.

@ketchell A skill is a skill…

Spotting a football stadium from a plane window will never fail to give me a buzz. 📍 Amex Stadium, Brighton. I’m 40 years old.
