This is how a book’s cover can draw you in right away… AD&D had it right.

I stare at my phone in bed and I'm asleep in about 10 seconds, makes no difference whether I've eaten nothing at all or 25 bags of Hula Hoops either.

Bryan Johnson reveals what you MUST do to get the best sleep possible ''Reading a book for 10 minutes before bed is as powerful as sleep medication, on some metrics it's even more powerful than sleep meds'' ''Have your final meal of the day 4 hours before bed, it gives your body time to digest, and when your body has that distance it will lower its body temperature, your blood glucose will be down, melatonin is produced and it gets the body in a more relaxed state'' ''You need like an hour wind down routine, if your bedtime is 10 PM, when 9 PM comes turn off all the screens and spend that hour doing things that relax you, read a book, breath work, meditation, hang out with a friend, anything but be on your screen''

@Chris_arnade Happens deep in the suburbs too! But then at the same time cyclists follow zero rules at all and drivers are quite relaxed about squeezing through red lights.

People claim the “Japanese wait for a crosswalk even when they don’t have to” thing is an overblown myth. No. I just waited 30 seconds with an elderly couple at this cross walk, about one lane wide, at 6am with zero cars around. Happens every day in all Japanese cities (outside of central Tokyo)

@runaway_vol It's a negative when it happens to areas that were not dangerous, they were just a bit scruffy but had tons of character and interesting local businesses (that get replaced with chains). It's a positive when it happens to crime-ridden shitholes and they become safe and clean.
English
why is gentrification considered “bad”, it makes areas much nicer with better shops and friendlier people

Just a few years ago, the only tourists in El Salvador were surfers in beach towns.
Going to downtown San Salvador at night? Unthinkable, even for locals.

London very much does not look like a good place to invest in property. I expect there'll be a lot of flight away from the city in coming years/decades.

@DavidPGCSE There used to be a chain diner called BLDY in Tokyo where it was self-service all-you-can-drink spirits, no time limit, 500 yen (about £3 at the time).
English
Imagine hanging up an "All the spirits you can drink in one hour for 9 quid" sign in any English market town

@GuruAnaerobic This is why I like photography. Doesn't matter if you never show anyone the photos, just go out with a camera aiming to get some interesting shots and you'll end up poking around in all kinds of places you wouldn't usually go, plus you're just looking at everything all the time.

This struck a chord.
I wrote about walking the city at night in Gang Fit (2019). You see things you don't notice during the day.

I understand circadian rhythm and all that, but taking a long walk through the countryside (or city) at 2am is something everyone should experience. 2am to 4am is a magical time.

@GuruAnaerobic "Your body does not care about your cardio routine" ranks among the worst advice I've ever heard.
English
Looking good but not having a gas tank is foolish. You can be both. Aerobic exercise and intervals are necessary for a fit and vital older age.
Reminder: Walking is necessary but not sufficient.

Your body does not care about your cardio routine After 40, walking alone will not save your metabolism Muscle is the ONLY currency that matters

@spectator Makes a similar point as Will Self did recently, but he was concerned about the right rather than the left.

Those school children and students of ten years ago, with their highly moralistic, Manichean politics and otherworldly theories on gender and race, are now the voters of today.
They are also our first post-literate generation, a demographic which doesn’t read newspapers, which doesn’t read books willingly, who instead get their politics on their smartphones from emotive TikTok videos devoid of nuance, depth and context.
This is the demographic with a reduced attention span that doesn’t even listen to radio bulletins or watch the news from reputed broadcasting organisations.

@GuruAnaerobic Why are Ozempic users always people with the resources to have their own luxury gym at home and a personal trainer, nutritionist and chef on call 24/7?

As I said, Ozempic is the new anorexia.

@francisjfoster Dunno man, I think this makes it more important.

Suddenly the by-election in Gorton & Denton doesn’t seem that important.

@TheSimonEvans @HenryGJeffreys Not sure why I'm going out to bat for this one, but I'm going to suggest this is introducing something yet to be revealed about the character.

First page of publishing sensation The Names, 30K Amazon reviews and counting.
This is one of the worst first pages I’ve ever read. “Gordon” starts with a splintering sound? In what dialect?
Cora, though. That *is* echoic. Of the melancholy rasp of the crow.
