@gothburz Names and networks please… #letthemeatcake

I am a senior coordinating producer for the White House Correspondents' Association Dinner. I have worked eleven of these. I was backstage at the Washington Hilton when the shots were fired. The first thing I heard was not the gunfire. It was glass. A champagne flute hit the floor of the International Ballroom at approximately 9:47 PM. Then a second. Then the sound that I have since been told was a 12-gauge shotgun, which from inside the ballroom sounded like a heavy door slamming in a parking garage. Then the Secret Service moved. They moved the President, the Vice President, the First Lady through the east corridor in under ninety seconds, which is protocol, which is practiced, which is the one part of the evening that worked exactly as it was designed. Everything else was improvised. I know this because I ordered the wine. 94 tables. Two bottles per table. 188 bottles of a Willamette Valley pinot noir that the Association selected in February after a tasting committee spent three meetings debating between Oregon and Burgundy. Oregon won. The budget was $14,200. I signed the invoice. I can tell you the vintage. I can tell you the distributor. I can tell you the per-bottle cost because I negotiated it down from $89 to $76. What I cannot tell you is how 147 of those bottles left the building during an active shooter evacuation. I can tell you what I saw. A correspondent from a network I will not name picked up two bottles on her way to the east exit. Full bottles. One in each hand. She was wearing heels and she did not spill. A man in a tuxedo tucked one inside his jacket the way you'd shoplift a paperback at an airport bookstore. A woman picked up a bottle, looked at the label, put it back, and took a different one. She checked the vintage. During an evacuation. That's editorial judgment under pressure. The theme of the dinner was "A Free Press for a Free People." The banners were still hanging when the evacuation began. I know because I hung them. Twenty-three banners, navy blue, gold serif lettering, $11,400 for the set. They were still hanging when 2,600 guests were directed to the exits by Secret Service agents, one of whom had just taken a shotgun round in his ballistic vest and walked to the ambulance on his own feet. The agent's vest costs approximately $800. The wine that left the building was worth $11,172 at Association cost. At restaurant markup, roughly $29,000. The guests saved more in wine than the vest that saved the agent. That's priority. The video went viral by 10:15 PM. Not the video of the evacuation. Not the Secret Service response. The wine. Three guests in formalwear grabbing bottles off white tablecloths while being told to move toward the exits, while a man with a shotgun stood in the same motor entrance where John Hinckley shot Ronald Reagan 45 years ago. A woman near the service entrance was crying. She said "I just wanna go home." She was not holding wine. She was holding her phone. She was the only person I saw that night who looked afraid rather than inconvenienced. That's the distinction. The rest of the ballroom did not look afraid. They looked interrupted. An active shooter at the WHCD is a logistical problem. The dinner was disrupted. The timeline was off. The after-party at the French Ambassador's residence would need to be rescheduled. These are contingency matters. Contingency matters have solutions. Fear is for people who attend events without security details. I have produced eleven of these dinners. I have managed seating charts that require diplomatic-grade negotiations. I have handled comedians, cabinet secretaries, network anchors, and the editor of a major newspaper who once threatened to leave because his table was behind a column. I have never, in eleven years, seen a guest leave a $76 bottle on the table during an evacuation. I have also never seen a guest check the label first. Both observations are consistent. The bottle is worth taking. The evacuation is worth surviving. The instinct is to do both simultaneously. 188 bottles placed. 41 recovered. 147 unaccounted for. One agent shot. Zero guests injured. Zero bottles broken. A free press for a free people. The press is free. The wine was $76 a bottle. They took it anyway.

@historyrock_ Nope never.

This Autism Awareness Month let’s reiterate that the evidence is clear: vaccines do not cause autism. Autism is a complex neurodevelopmental condition with a strong genetic component. For each dollar spent studying autism and vaccines, that’s one less focusing on advancing research to better understand the condition and to support individuals and families impacted by it. phrma.org/vaccines

8. Steak florentine is amazing but I’ve had NY strips in NYC that I prefer. That said, the one I posted pictures of was a contender.

1. So final thoughts on Italy trip, to those interested: (1) Italy has apparently come a long way on air-conditioning, at least from Rome and north. If yo go in a warm weather month, you’ll care.

@cabinsmountain My dream… 🙏🏻

A New Way to Live Together What if the future of family living isn't about moving farther apart... but building closer together? Imagine a piece of land where everyone has their own home, their own space, and their own privacy -yet parents, siblings, kids, and loved ones are only a short walk away. No long drives for Sunday dinners. No worrying about aging parents living alone. No strangers raising your children while family lives miles away. This kind of family compound keeps not only memories close, but also wealth, land, and opportunities within the family. Shared gardens, shared meals, shared support... and a lifestyle built on connection instead of distance.

@markkaplan20 @AnitaBGreen Sign. Me. Up.

A personal note to everyone following me. I want to tell you why I'm doing this. Not the business pitch. Not the platform. The real reason. Five years ago I had a heart attack on a tennis court. I was 52 years old. I was rushed to Stamford Hospital. They put a stent in my heart. I survived. A lot of people don't. They handed me a bag of statins and told me I'd be on them for life. Within three months the side effects were brutal. I was losing my memory. Awful aches and pains. My body was falling apart. I was depressed. I was miserable. I felt like I wanted to die. That's when my daughter sat me down and said something that changed the direction of my life. She said "Dad, you're not the same person. You need to change." She was right. I wasn't the same person. And I needed to change everything. I went to my cardiologist and said I want off the statins. He told me I'd die of a heart attack on a Monday if I stopped taking them. So I fired him. And then I was alone. No doctor. No plan. Just me, YouTube videos, forums, studies I barely understood, learning from strangers on the internet whether I was going to live or die. I had no idea if tomorrow would be another heart attack. I did it all manually, in the dark, by myself. It took me years. But slowly I figured it out. I changed what I ate. I changed how I lived. I reversed every single risk factor that put me in that hospital bed. Zero drugs. Metabolic age 43. Healthier at 58 than I was at 40. But here's the thing that stayed with me through all of it. The anger. Not at the doctors. Not at the nurses. At the system. At how hard it was to find the truth. At how many people are going through what I went through right now and don't have the resources or the time or the knowledge to find their way out. I'm a former professional tennis player. I have a finance background. I have access to information and people that most patients don't have. And it STILL almost killed me. It still took me years to figure out what should have been told to me in 10 minutes in that hospital room. What about the single mom working two jobs who gets handed a bag of statins and doesn't have time to read a single study? What about the 65 year old man who trusts his doctor completely because he's supposed to? What about the kid whose parents are feeding him seed oils and cereal because that's what the food pyramid says is healthy? Those people can't help themselves. Not because they're stupid. Because the system is designed to keep them in the dark. That's what HealthTruth does. Everything I had to do alone in the dark — we make it simple. Your own truth feed of content. Upload your labs and get an AI coach to give you real feedback. Speak to doctors. Join communities of people going through what you're going through. All the things I had to piece together by myself not knowing if tomorrow I'd be dead from another heart attack — we built it into one place. I didn't build this to make money. I've been in finance my whole career. If I wanted to make money I'd stay in finance. I built this because my daughter told me I needed to change. And the change that mattered most wasn't my diet. It was my purpose. The first stage of HealthTruth is completely free. You'll be able to upload your blood work and get real analysis. Real insights. Real truth about what your numbers actually mean. Not what a 10-minute doctor visit can cover. The full picture. Free. For everyone. Anywhere in the world. We will have a premium tier eventually because we have to run this like a business to keep it alive. If you want deeper AI coaching, direct connection to our doctors, advanced protocols — that will cost something. Because four doctors and an engineering team can't work for free forever. But the mission is education.The mission is truth. The mission is pulling people out of the dark and showing them what their doctor was never trained to tell them. That's what you'll see on this channel. Content. Education. Studies. Data. Charts. Truth. Not selling. Not fear. Just the information that the system has been hiding from you for 50 years. I'm grateful for every single one of you who followed me. When I posted my first thread I had zero followers. The fact that thousands of you are here now tells me something important: people are hungry for the truth. You know something doesn't add up. You're right. It doesn't. Thank you for being here. Thank you for sharing these threads with people you care about. Thank you for asking questions and pushing back and holding me accountable. We're just getting started. — Mark Kaplan Founder, HealthTruth Heart attack survivor. Zero drugs. Healthier at 58 than 40. South Africa born. America made.

Society “you’re too old” Artemis 2 Crew: “hold my beer”

@DaveBlass SUPER hero…

Victor Glover is the embodiment of modern exploration: U.S. Navy Captain, test pilot, and NASA astronaut who piloted SpaceX Crew-1, the first operational Crew Dragon mission, helping restore human spaceflight from U.S. soil. He spent 168 days aboard the International Space Station, conducted multiple spacewalks. Coming back to earth today as the pilot for Artemis II, he’s is a true Hero of the Planet. 🚀

Genius

Ten squats every 45 minutes = 10,000 steps. A study from the University of Texas found that doing just 10 squats every hour can actually control blood sugar better than going for a full 30-minute walk. When you sit all day, your blood sugar spikes, your circulation slows, and your biggest muscles - your legs and glutes - basically switch off. But 10 squats wakes everything up instantly. Your leg muscles pull glucose out of your bloodstream, your circulation improves, and your metabolism switches back on. That’s why these micro-bursts of movement deliver such powerful benefits. In fact, research shows that ten squats every 45 minutes can give you similar cardiometabolic benefits to hitting 10,000 steps per day. This strengthens your heart, keeps your joints moving, and prevents the dangerous blood sugar spikes that lead to insulin resistance. So even if you don’t have time for long walks or full workouts, stand up… Do 10 squats every 45 minutes and watch what happens to your energy, strength, and metabolic health.

Now that Artemis II has launched we have 10 days to get everyone on Earth a Planet of the Apes costume so we can do something hilarious when the astronauts return 😁
