@prxxna The fact that his “apology” started with HIMSELF as a hurt party and referred to them as “Nicolandria” 🥴🥴

Imo he still isn’t being honest bc Nic saying the final 4 deserved to be the final 4 is not something that should have a grown man that mad. Ace is truly mad bc he did not expect Nic to be as successful as he is and expected that to be him! He is an extremely envious person!

I’m back in Maryland for a visit and the weather is perfection. It’s almost tricking me into forgetting about the hellish humidity and mosquitoes that actually characterize the late spring/summer months.

@Jani__Gee Omg Jani, I am mere months away from moving back to the DMV and still awaiting your salon recs. Please do not banish me (and my shoulder-length hair) to purgatory 🫩

I’m finally out of shoulder length hair purgatory. That’s always my hardest length to grow past. Once I hit past bra length it gets real rapunzelly over here. Prepare to be sick of me!!!

@anishmoonka Curious if all studies on the power of walking are done on walking outdoors? Do any include walking on treadmills inside? Is the impact still present, but to a lesser degree?

Your brain has a part that gets stuck overthinking. Walking switches it off. Stanford caught it on brain scans. In 2015, Stanford researchers put 38 people through brain scans, sent them on a 90-minute walk, then scanned them again. One group walked through trees and grass. The other walked along a busy four-lane highway. Only the nature walkers came back with a calmer brain. The region that flares up when you keep replaying something embarrassing you said five years ago had quieted down. The highway walkers got no benefit. Walking also makes you smarter on the spot. In 2014, Stanford asked volunteers to come up with creative ideas while sitting, then while walking on a treadmill. Walking won by 60% on average. Even on a treadmill facing a blank wall, walking beat sitting. Steve Jobs and Mark Zuckerberg both held walking meetings. Over the long term, walking grows your brain. In 2011, scientists followed older adults who walked 40 minutes, three times a week. After a year, their memory center had grown 2% bigger. That undoes about 1 to 2 years of normal age-related shrinkage. Your brain releases a growth chemical called BDNF every time you walk. Think of it as fertilizer for brain cells. The peace also has a chemical signature. In 2019, University of Michigan researchers found that 20 to 30 minutes outside in nature drops your cortisol levels (the stress hormone behind that wired, tense feeling) more than any other duration they tested. The rhythm of walking does something separate. The left-right pattern shows up in trauma therapy too. It's called EMDR, and it's used to help people process PTSD. A psychologist named Francine Shapiro discovered it by accident in 1987, walking through a park feeling anxious. She noticed her dark thoughts faded as her eyes moved back and forth with each step. She built an entire form of trauma therapy around it. When a walk feels beyond peaceful, your overthinking circuit is going quiet, your memory center is growing, your stress chemicals are dropping, and your brain is doing the same back-and-forth motion that trauma therapists charge $200 an hour to recreate.

I’m excited to bring in the book’s lessons and examples as I embark on this Herculean task.

It’s serendipitous that years after I first heard of @Leidyklotz’s ideas around subtraction, I’m finally reading his book as I lead a project trying to convince skeptical stakeholders of the need to simplify, subtract, and niche down.

@MissSassbox Rice cakes, crunchy almond butter, semi-sweet chocolate chips 🤤🤤. You can also add a sprinkle of coconut flakes.

drop your personal snack hack you enjoy, that you think no one else does and maybe we end up with a bomb list of new things to try ⬇️

@MissSassbox Microwave frozen berries (blue, black, rasp medley), add cottage cheese and top with chia seeds & a drizzle of maple syrup. Creamy, delicious, and healthy dessert.

@aldatweets Are grocery stores also right wing for charging more for oat, soy, almond, or macadamia milk than cow milk?

It’s just incredibly rightwing and wrong. And while we’re at it, oat milk tastes good. But compared to soy, its such a scam.

There’s a lot of big thingd I want from a big green state. But the small thing I want is banning coffee shops from charging extra for plant milk.

@itsthewealth4me This feels like saying when starting out in the job market, you shouldn’t have to start in a junior position and should just be able to get the moderate to high-income, remote position with great work/life balance. But I suppose she did say hot take…and the take is just that.

Our generation is delusional and it’s very sad to see Even in prior generations people who were moving into turnkey houses with updated luxuries were people with the most money For everyone else they either got a starter home and upgraded with the equity or stayed

@Camp4 I’ve been meaning to gather the courage to make this ask for a while now. I’ve been inspired by many of your tweets & worldview & would love to get you a cup of coffee wherever in Boulder (I’m based in Denver). No pressure! But I promised to live more audaciously this year.

This is it. There are 3 levels to success—but they don’t work the way you think. 🪜 Level 1 is climbing the ladder and chasing success as society defines it ($). The ladder has infinite steps, and most people stay on it forever. A few start to question why they’re climbing… 🪜 Level 2 is stepping off the ladder, redefining success on your terms, and taking bold steps to live in alignment. You still play the game but you are not the game. It’s a good life, but eventually it dawns on you: You’re still chasing… just different things. 🪜 Level 3 is climbing back down the ladder. It’s not a goal, it’s a state of being. There’s no score. It’s knowing the secret that Jason Mamoa describes: —Less is more —Only a few things really matter (and they can’t be bought) This is true whether you’re a billionaire or broke. Level 3 is rarefied air—not because it requires credentials, but because it requires that you break your programming and want less. It’s not sacrifice, it’s liberating in a way that financial wealth can never be. There’s no conflict here—Jason Mamoa still makes movies (and millions of dollars). He can visit that world and walk the red carpet while inhabiting another world. A question for you: Are you leveling up… or climbing the infinite ladder? I stepped off the ladder to Level 2 about 8 years ago (better late than never). Now, at 55, I’m eyeing Level 3. I couldn’t be more excited.

@aleeshalindsaar I’ll never forget telling people I was learning the fundamentals of physics for no reason in particular and the surprised/blank stares I got in response 😂

You should just live your life so multi-faceted that it confuses everyone.

@electrolemon @DanielGorman20 YES. And I’ll add people also seem to need to believe in the amorality or badness of those they don’t like. It’s OKAY to not like someone’s work or even that person without needing them to be Satan personified.

@DanielGorman20 "let people dislike things" is far different from "it's fine to call someone 'the most worthless director in recent years' because you don't like their small body of work." the internet has cushioned you to a casual acceptance of cruelty. unbelievable way to talk about people

I don’t think one person expressing a negative opinion about an artist you like is indicative of any larger points about film in general or ‘the state of things’. They didn’t like Titane, so what? Let people dislike things!

@DblAuntAndres And what work have you produced to speak on the value of hers with so much disregard, judgment, and casual cruelty?

I think Julia Ducournau is probably the most worthless director in recent years, but she has impressively only served one abomination of a film after another that I hope she is given all the money that she desires to make her retched films for the rest of time.

@KerryDaynes @tferriss maybe some of these can be used in your forthcoming book

Useful Victorian phrases for saying no to things. #TuesdayMotivation

@data_barbs Can you share your substack link? Would love to read whenever ready!

@menarechewtoys @siaxcvii This is the perfect explanation for the strange and unhinged reactions people have to Olandria.

@siaxcvii People project what they would do if they had the looks of whoever. It’s just resentment spewing out.

finding someone so attractive that you naturally assume they’re a slut is going to make me assume you have arrested development.

@TheJakeChristie I recently saw a take about how people who recline their seats on airplanes are ghastly, amoral, and deranged…

a way too common phenomenon here is people getting addicted to the dopamine hit of being cruel towards bad people so they eventually stretch the definition of "bad people" to include random posters on here who had like one bad tweet

Makes sense. When my husband and I first started dating, I mentioned a big work presentation once or twice. On the day of the presentation, he came over with flowers and cupcakes to celebrate. Him remembering & taking the initiative to celebrate my win was small but significant.
