Really weirdly officiated game. And by “weirdly” I mostly mean badly and inconsistently.

@stevemagness @LoreofRunning1 Is there an increased risk of injury? Presumably the brain is putting the governor on for a reason, unless this is an evolutionary thing saving reserves for a famine or failed hunt or whatever, which makes sense.

Fascinating new research: You get a 3% boost in performance by taking a dissolvable carb strip.
The catch? It delivers minimal carbs. Your brain gets the signal from sensors in your mouth that more carbs are on the way, so it loosens the reigns.
A great example of how fatigue is regulated in the brain.

@SeedOilDsrspctr @dranthonygustin It’s the protein bar for a life so outrageous and you can’t tell a soul.

@dranthonygustin What an odd thing to do as a protein bar company
English
Plus these guys send dildos to women for marketing stunts yet people are mad because Paul and I made a real food protein bar 🤣
Vaan Group@TheVaanGroup
A controversial protein bar brand appointed a Chief Beauty Officer. Supermodels, caviar pairings, campaigns with Julia Fox and Candice Swanepoel. Positioning the bar closer to beauty culture than sports nutrition. More on why this is working right now, and where it gets risky. Read the full piece👇 vaangroup.com/articles/prote…

@TuckerGoodrich My question is what is the lie? If it’s “our threats are empty” and Tucker told Iran to push for a better deal on that basis, I get it. If it’s “we want to negotiate peacefully” and he passed that to Iran, he might have got played but that ain’t treasonous
English
@TuckerGoodrich but just Trump leveraging, and destroying, his credibility with Tucker and Tucker’s credibility to advance a message he’s already sending.
English
@TuckerGoodrich Wouldn’t an alternative reading of these facts, if true, be that Trump told Tucker, and Iran presumably, that he is negotiating in good faith and intends to avoid a conflict; Tucker also expresses that to Iran. That wouldn’t be a State secret or classified…

We’re making a Mt Rushmore of “Doctors” who aren’t really doctors. Our four: Dr Dre Dr Pepper Dr Seuss The Doctor (Doctor Who) Keep it going!

@JoeMulder The Matrix has to be moving up that list. Gotta be a lot of people in their 20s and 30s talking about being red-pilled without having actually watched it.

Begs the question: the top two spots for “Movie that is referred to by people who haven’t seen it” are locked in almost forever…
1) The Bucket List
2) Wag the Dog
What’s number three?
Matt Kibbe@MattKibbe
Just rewatched Wag the Dog, a darkly satirical movie from 1997 about the White House creating a carefully scripted war right before an important election to distract voters from a sex scandal involving an underaged girl. Really.

@bigfatsurprise @DrDBeech If he’d said there are promising medicines curing some people of schizophrenia would everyone have the same concerns?
English
@DrDBeech There's a lot of legitimate debate over cure vs remission
English
But "speaking" is the essential task of his job. Being precise in conveying information to the public is the role. He does the opposite. He obscures, embellishes, misinterprets, stretches.
Nina Teicholz, PhD@bigfatsurprise
@FatigueMe92484 @SecKennedy He misspoke. The fact that symptoms can go into seemingly permanent remission is still incredibly promising and worthy of more study!
English
@TuckerGoodrich Especially if he’s advising on the benefits of products made by large, powerful industries. That his judgment gets clouded by access to power and prestige is particularly troubling. And that’s giving him the benefit of doubt.
English
@PineTop42 He says he has poor judgement. Do you want your physician to have poor judgement?
English
Ouch. BTW, Peter's interview with Topol is a must-listen!
Eric Topol@EricTopol
Good that you posted a response, Peter. Agree, there is no defense for the now public and egregious interactions you had with Epstein. But the man you are today vs 10 years ago has not changed w/r to arrogance. Moreover, these days you are riddled with conflicts as a huckster for David Bars, AG-1 supplement, and so many other things that diminish your credibility. That's a shame.
English
@SenGillibrand So if it’s difficult for many people to live a healthy lifestyle should the solution be to advise unhealthy things?
English
Ok, run the simulation for us yourself.
I challenge Secretary Rollins to eat three meals a day on 15 dollars.
Show the American people.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar
Brooke Rollins is still at it! "We had run almost 1,000 simulations, and between $3 and $4 is a fair number if you can have access to that food. I just saw new numbers that were run: a full day, meaning 3 full square meals and a snack, is about $15.64."
English
@calleymeans @TheDemocrats I don’t really get the criticism. Even if healthy food were unaffordable for many, shouldn’t it still be recommended? If a daily pound of caviar were proven to prevent cancer, I wouldn’t be able to afford it but it should still probably be recommended.
English
Trump Derangment Syndrome has led @TheDemocrats to attack healthy food.
They are actively defending government funded soda on SNAP, are nowhere to be found in work to improve school meals, + mocking public health messaging that real food is attainable for $3 (fact check: true).
English
@GoodwoodAlpha @simonmaechling Speaking of the scientific method, Francis Bacon was an attorney. Unclear if he’d have podcasted had it been invented at the time.
English
As we say in America, "follow the money."
Science is a tool, not an ideology; the scientific method is something anyone can use. This includes lawyers and podcast hosts, and if you're not beholden to a money source, you can use it to find conclusions independently.
I have firsthand experience with someone who worked in science, on her PhD dissertation. But when her studies came to a conclusion that her sponsors didn't like, she was kicked to the curb as though she were chattel.
English
Maybe I’m too much of a European, but I can’t understand how scientists became less trusted than lawyers or podcasters when it comes to medicine and public health.
English
@Gh0stFoot @calleymeans @bigfatsurprise Right. And this contradiction makes implementing this in school lunches difficult to impossible, which is really where the guidelines matter. I wonder what entrenched interest they weren’t able to overcome on this point.
English
@calleymeans I think @bigfatsurprise is the only person I've heard so far pointing out the irreconcilable contradiction in the new food pyramid: you cannot focus on eating more meat AND stay under the 10% saturated fat caps.
English
Lacking clarity?
Let me reduce confusion on the guidance:
EAT REAL FOOD.
National Consumers League@ncl_tweets
The USDA and HHS recently released the 2025–2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans. “The new Dietary Guidelines offers a jumble of some good and some bad advice that we worry will confuse consumers and lacks the clarity we should expect from federal food and nutrition agencies like the USDA and the FDA,” says NCL CEO Sally Greenberg. NCL supports efforts to cut ultra-processed foods but urges clearer, evidence-based guidance to help Americans make healthier choices. Read our full statement: ow.ly/nE8M50XTvTg
English
@maxlugavere @calleymeans But the guidelines also recommend any dairy be full fat, which I agree with and is inconsistent with the saturated fat message.
English
The idea that you can’t eat red meat and still land comfortably below the 10% saturated fat guideline is a flat-out lie.
Here are 6 daily meal plans that incorporate lots of red meat, targeting 150 grams of protein and would get you leaner and healthier than 99% of the population. 🧵
English
@BiglawConsrvatv @stevemagness @Brady_H This is what matters to me. The picture with the pretty steak is great, and I do to some degree think the symbolic improvement is useful, but what are school lunches going to look like? That’s where the rubber will meet the road.
English
@stevemagness @Brady_H Haha by no means claiming expertise here so defer to you. Just figured if there’s any measurable impact at all in that respect there’s at least some marginal benefit to it.
English
This administration is myopic about food at the neglect of physical activity.
Don’t get me wrong, this is a great change—altering the food environment and what we tell people to eat is a must.
But *nothing* will move the lever on population health as much as getting people to move more.
We are not talking about it enough.
English
@TuckerGoodrich He would want to quietly expand the vaccine schedule if that were his conflict. More vaccine injuries would be better for business.
English
Prove RJK Jr. has made millions from vaccine fearmongering and lawsuits.
I'm willing to guess he can't.
Jerome Adams@JeromeAdamsMD
How is it doctors are “conflicted” because they get paid to give vaccines… but RFK Jr. - who’s made millions from vaccine fearmongering and lawsuits - gets a total pass on conflict of interest while literally making unilateral vaccine decisions with national impact? 🤔
English
An under discussed part of what makes Luka difficult is that I think the best strategy is to just play him straight up and live with him making tough shots. The trouble is he’s such a prick about it that it’s so hard to not sell out to stop him.
