For those who don’t know, if they tell you the work is voluntary but if you don’t do it, your food rations will be cut in half, the work isn’t really voluntary. Orwell was brilliant. Everyone needs to read ANIMAL FARM. Right. Now.

@donnyosmond The Osmond family was such a big part of our childhood. Your loss feels like our loss. Sincere condolences.

This is one of the earliest pictures I have of my brother Alan and me. Even back then, you can see that he had his arm around me, watching over me. That’s who he was. My protector. My guide. The one who quietly carried so much responsibility so the rest of us could shine. Alan was our leader in every sense of the word. His tireless work helped build everything we became. I will always be grateful for the sacrifices he made and the love he showed—not just to me, but to every member of our family. I owe him more than I can ever fully express. I love you, Alan. Thank you for always being there for me. Till we meet again, Brother Donny

@matthewbaszucki Thank you for sharing this. The specifics are much appreciated.

If you want to try a ketogenic diet for mental health and don't know where to start, here is the actual list. But ofc these are just ideas, so do what works for you!! Keep carbohydrates under 30g per day. This is the most important thing. Carbs are in more foods than you think. Read labels. Eat beef, lamb, steak, eggs, butter, heavy cream, fatty fish, hard cheeses, avocado, macadamia nuts, olive oil, bacon. These are your staples. (or try pure carnivore, only animals foods, some people feel better doing that) Avoid bread, pasta, rice, sugar, fruit juice, beer, most sauces and condiments unless you check the label. Track your ketones. A blood ketone meter is about $30. Test twice a day for the first few months. You want to be above 1.5 millimoles per liter. Above 2.0 is better for serious mental illness. Eat in a 6-hour window if possible. Two meals a day. Your first meal at noon, your second at 6pm. The 18 hours of fasting in between keeps insulin low and ketones high. Do hard cardio. Swimming, running, biking. Your ketones will dip right after exercise and then spike back up higher than before. This is normal and good. Eat enough fat. If your ketones are low and your carbs are already under 30g, you are probably eating too much protein and not enough fat. Add butter, MCT oil, beef tallow. Start here, then figure the rest out as you go.

@DanielJDevane When she went to the hospital for tests in October 2021 was the first clue. They never said what it was about. Then she started to lose weight & miss engagements due to “mobility issues.”

The moment I started to get concerned about The Queen’s health was seeing Her Late Majesty’s face at the end of the national anthem at the Windsor Horse Show in May 2022. 😢

Can we all agree to never let ESPN have the Stanley Cup Playoffs again?

RFK Jr puts the measles hysteria to bed. “This has become a talking point for Democrats that somehow I caused the measles epidemic. The measles epidemic started in January 2025 - before I came into office.” “Most of the people affected are over the age of 5 years old, meaning their decision to not vaccinate predated my appointment to this office. We had about 2,200 measles cases last year and we had 1,700 this year. This is not unique to the United States. This is a global outbreak. Mexico had 3x the number of measles cases than we did. We did better than any other country in the world at controlling the epidemic. Mexico has 3x the number and it has 1/3 of the population. Canada has twice the number and it has 1/8 of our population. Europe had 33,000 cases in the last year and a 127,000 the year before and they have one half of our population. So the problem is not me.”

All the Stanley Cup playoff games should be on TNT. Their coverage is so superior to ESPN’s junior varsity garbage.

@sttheresestan No. I’ve only seen it at very traditional churches.

i’m curious, in your parish do people make the sign of the cross when the crucifix is being carried in and out at the beginning and end of mass? in my parish everyone does, but i’ve been to parishes where people don’t

The best late-season acquisition in the NHL this year wasn't the Kings trading for Artemi Panarin or the Avs bringing back Nazem Kadri. It wasn't even a trade. Instead, it was the Flyers signing Porter Martone to an entry-level contract on March 29. thehockeynews.com/news/latest-ne…

@AnnK_MamaOnIce @MaxGreenberg176 The original story said the organization was toxic, not necessarily the locker room. Have worked at companies w/toxic management & the kindest, most supportive employees. Wouldn’t be at all surprised if this was the case.

Trotz called out an insider who referred to the Predator locker room as "toxic". He never saw it. Trotz: If this is what toxic is, we need a lot more of that.

@SteveSkojec @MTSPodcastOnX Can’t stand podcasts on X. Prefer YouTube or almost any other platform

What do you think? Would you ever watch a podcast on X? Is it worth uploading episodes here, or should we just keep the video versions on YouTube? Asking for @MTSPodcastOnX

@Stupid_Seal_ Yellow is not a serious color for hockey. It’s for spring flowers & Easter. Compare Stamkos in his Tampa uniform to the Preds 🟡. Entirely different vibe.

Why are the Penguins insisting on trying to make these yellow jerseys work? There’s only 1 team in this league able to pull the look off and it’s us.

@OnTheFuturePBR I just don’t understand how Barry - as successful as he was as a coach - can watch the Wild/stars or Tampa/Habs series and think “yea my team can play that skilled and that fast”

@Blutman27 Absolute shitshow, if the call was "penalty shot" = play should have been stopped immediately.

Most men were never taught this.

The job of a teacher really feels more and more like trying my best to make students less stupid while all other forces in their life--parents, peers, technology, administration, etc.--do their best to help them remain as stupid as possible.

I remember the exact moment my mom told me about metabolic psychiatry. I was 24. I had done everything the system told me for my bipolar disorder. Therapy every week. Five medications taken as prescribed. Sleep hygiene. Exercise. I was swimming regularly. And I still wasn't well. Every few weeks the sleep would start to slip and I'd have to take 15 or 20mg of olanzapine just to knock myself back down. That was my life. Managing, not recovering. Mom came to me and said there was a doctor in Massachusetts treating bipolar disorder with a ketogenic diet. I said yes immediately. I had nothing to lose. Five years later and I'm well again. Mood stable. Off almost all meds. Running on ketones. The system wasn't lying to me on purpose. It just never thought to look at what I was eating. #metabolicpsychiatry #KETOSIS

@jay_are38 @themagaking The fainting incident & getting tossed in the van was at the annual 9/11 ceremony in NYC. wtvr.com/2016/09/11/vid…

I’ve always wondered if it suggested that Hillary was going to be arrested afterward, since this happened on the same day as the fainting incident before she got into the white unmarked van, and that Joe Biden was the nominee they chose to represent the Democrats in the next election because the Bidens seemed to be the only one pleased with the cards lol

So what was in that envelope at George H.W. Bush’s funeral? Hillary Clinton read it twice like she couldn’t believe it. Jeb Bush looked horrified. The Obamas. The Clintons. The Pences. The Bidens. Everyone got one. Except Donald Trump. No one ever explained it.

@thomas_garrard We pay double that for 1 car plus an annual personal property tax. For crappy roads and no snow removal. @GovMikeKehoe

I just paid $263 for two little stickers, that permit me to drive my cars, which I already paid sales tax on, for another year. On roads that I’m taxed to maintain, but are somehow not maintained. I feel violated.

Parents - put your phones out of sight when you’re with your kids. I really mean this. Especially at home. Treat it like a landline and “hang it up” in one place. (Wife and I have a little holder for them in the kitchen) When you need to check it, go over to where it’s placed and look at it, then walk away. Do not carry it around like a digital pacifier. Be present without it in sight. I guarantee this will make a huge impact on their childhood experience.
