@MattWalshBlog For sure like sleep tracking is out of control. Get back to nature and eat clean period .

The health consciousness stuff has gone massively overboard. People walking around with bands tracking their vital signs every second of the day like they’re astronauts on the ISS. Treating alcohol or sugar like it’ll kill them if they look at it. Tracking their sleep. Counting their steps. It’s possible to live a healthy life without being an obsessive, paranoid lunatic. You’re gonna die either way. In a few decades you’ll be just as dead as the rest of us, if not sooner. Relax a little and live your life while you still can.

There is no quick fix. Body dysmorphia has become more explosive w social media & social isolation.Issue w GLP1 is they are essentially a quick w/o getting into why the person is obese to begin with. We all see the sad results when it is over done. Eating should be to fuel your body & socialize however food has completely changed composition w fast food - GMO - and science derived substances in turn this has really messed up the body which is doing its best for homeostasis 24/7.

@dndsm @JamesMelville Anorexia is a very serious mental illness. Are you saying obese people have a serious mental illness too?

Each to their own, but why can’t people just lose weight naturally by sticking to a healthy diet and exercising rather taking an Ozempic jab?

@MaryBowdenMD Cuz the school allowed it and the parents let it go. 👎🏽

I’m at my son’s highschool graduation. Sadly the vast majority of men are not wearing a coat and tie… many look like they’re dressed for the gym. When did this become the norm?

@TaraBull It is a very very small percentage of teens but gets coverage like it’s everywhere. Ridiculous behavior needs consequences the end .

Teen takeovers are predicted to get worse, but one Florida governor is not holding back, he says Black teens are to blame

@kjgillenwater @bryan_johnson No judgement on the people it’s on the drugs. If you ever watch TV commercial after commercial for drugs with so many bad side effects to literally fix a symptom that’s my beef.

@SunJtkmded @bryan_johnson Doesn’t drive me crazy. I’m happy for these people.

These numbers are shocking. It's like we got a new frontier AI model but for the body. Lilly's phase 3 results for retatrutide: > highest dose lost 28.3% of body weight in 80 wks > 70 lbs ave > 45% lost 30% or more of their body weight > 65% on the top dose no longer clinically obese Retatrutide is more dynamic than semaglutide and tirzepatide because it targets three receptors (GIP, GLP-1, and glucagon), versus one and two, respectively. Side effects, on the highest dose (12mg), were higher for retatrutide than tirzepatide (nausea and GI), with an 11.3% drop out rate. The lowest 4mg dose still delivered 19% loss with fewer dropouts than placebo.

@ona_nky Respect.

Do you guys know those parents who aren’t strict but somehow have really disciplined kids? 😩 What’s the science behind that?

No it doesn’t make you have anorexia but it ‘s essentially the same thing Not eating. Of course you lose weight if you don’t eat. You get food and don’t want it, order out and play with your food because it just doesn’t feel good to eat. But instead of you using your own powerful mind to curb your eating now it’s induced. Why are so many people so obese in the first place that’s the real cliff hanger.🫪

@SunJtkmded @bryan_johnson Having tried it, no, it doesnt make you anorexic, you just feel full sooner. You will feel full on 2 meals a day.

@DiannaOpinion @wfaa More like alienating 98.2% of the country !

@wfaa Sad that late night hosts don't mind alienating half the country.

Colbert signs off Thursday as CBS ends the long-running “Late Show” franchise and hands the time slot to syndicated programming. wfaa.com/article/news/n…

@hunternhopkins @elonmusk @cremieuxrecueil 😝

@elonmusk @cremieuxrecueil I think our society is already getting their fair share of Retardatide.

Now that we have phase-3 results for retatrutide, it's time to revisit the question: What would happen to obesity if we gave every obese (BMI 30+) person the drug for just one year? Well, the obesity rate would fall by more than 80%! We'd be skinnier than the U.S. circa 1980!

@AliveMan10 @bryan_johnson Not complaining at all just noting society has been primed to get everything fast without having to consider there may be consequences.

@SunJtkmded @bryan_johnson How is this different than complaining alcoholics would likely drink again if they stopped taking antabuse? Or that cigarette smokers might start smoking again if they stopped snus.

@PeachProof23 YES! Spraying or adding pesticides has to be stopped at every level. Bees are dying, lightening bugs are dying, frogs are dying, turtles are dying, snakes are dying and even owls and birds who eat these affected by pesticides!

When ant hills start cropping up all over the yard, the knee-jerk reaction for many is to sprint to the hardware store for a jug of heavy-duty, synthetic pesticide. But before flooding the lawn with harsh chemicals that can affect pets, helpful pollinators, and the local soil, it pays to look inside the kitchen pantry. A remarkably effective, non-toxic hack for managing an ant problem requires nothing more than mixing equal parts baking soda and powdered sugar. Here is exactly how it works and why it is so effective: The Science Behind the Secret The Bait: Ants have a massive sweet tooth, but they are incredibly smart foragers. They will easily sniff out and avoid pure baking soda. However, when it is meticulously mixed with finely ground powdered sugar (confectioners' sugar), they cannot separate the two. The sweetness masks the deterrent, drawing them in. The Mechanism: Baking soda is highly alkaline. When ants consume it, it reacts with the acidic fluids in their digestive systems. Because ants cannot expel internal gas the way mammals can, the sudden chemical reaction is fatal to them. The Delivery: Foragers won't just eat it on the spot; they will carry this sweet, lethal mixture back to the heart of the colony, effectively taking care of the root of the problem. How to Apply It Simply blend a 50/50 mix of the two ingredients in a container and shake well. Sprinkle it directly around the perimeter of active mounds or along known ant trails. Other All-Natural Alternatives If baking soda isn’t on hand, a few other household staples can disrupt pest patterns naturally: White Vinegar: Spraying a simple solution of vinegar and water along entry points dissolves the scent trails ants use to navigate, leaving them completely disoriented. Diatomaceous Earth (Food Grade): A completely natural powder made from fossilized algae. It is harmless to humans and pets but breaks down the exoskeletons of crawling insects on contact. Essential Oils: Peppermint, tea tree, and citrus oils act as powerful natural repellents. A few drops near windows and doors keep unwanted visitors at bay. Relying on massive chemical interventions isn't always necessary to keep a property balanced. Sometimes, the safest, cheapest, and most elegant solutions are already sitting right next to the baking supplies.

@MarioNawfal I seem to remember it was importsnt for the chicks to have to peck their way out ?Wasn’t there an experiment with butterflies? If they don’t have to work their way out of the cocoon then their wings don’t open?

🇺🇸 A Texas biotech company just hatched 26 live chicks from 3D-printed artificial eggs with no shells and no hens. First time in history a complete bird embryo developed in a fully artificial system. And that's just the warm-up. Colossal Biosciences is using this same tech to bring back the South Island giant moa: a 12-foot-tall, 250 kg bird that went extinct 600 years ago. No surrogate exists on Earth big enough to hatch one. So they built the technology to do it without one. De-extinction just went from science fiction to a construction project.

@ReapthewhirlSL @1ssve And social isolation.

@1ssve They replaced it with weed and adderal.

Serious Question: The alcohol industry has lost $830 billion in the last 4 years, because Gen Z is not drinking. Why do you think they aren’t drinking?

Seriously? You’d kill a warm blooded little harmless mammal cuz it eats your tulips? Rabbits have a very short life span because they have so many predators including man and all they do is eat grass and some flowers. Try cutting up a carrot, celery and an apple, leave it where they can eat w/o being hunted. You will actually fall in love with their little furry faces.

I'm going to autonomously drone strike these fuckers they keep on eating my tulips. Going to set it up to be in aggro mode. Beware of props

@bryan_johnson Holy smokes! Eat clean people or you are killing yourself. Let’s take this research to the CEO of McDonalds just for example and tell him he needs to consume nuggets every day for dinner. Bet he wouldn’t do it 😡.

This new perspective study reports that our brains are carrying 3,000x more microplastic than our blood. Microplastic burden of the human brain rose ~50% between 2016 and 2024. The average brain now carries roughly: > 11x the load of the liver > 11x the kidney, and on a per-mass basis around > 3,000x the concentration found in circulating blood (on a per-mass basis) This study argues that eliminating ultra-processed foods (i.e. chicken mcnuggets, breaded shrimp) carries an additional benefit: reducing brain microplastic accumulation. This is based on an inferred chain of mechanisms rather than proven causality in humans, yet the convergence is striking. The paper outlines four pathways through which microplastics plausibly damage the brain: > oxidative stress and chronic inflammation > endocrine disruption > gut-microbiome injury > and vascular damage. These map onto various brain and mental diseases including: depression, anxiety, cognitive decline, stroke, dementia. The same conditions are independently linked to ultra-processed food consumption in large prospective cohorts Each 10% increase in ultra processed food intake > 25% higher dementia risk > 16% higher cognitive impairment risk > 8% higher stroke risk High versus low ultra processed food consumption tracks with 44% higher odds of depression and 48% higher odds of anxiety. While we do not yet have a human study showing UPF intake directly raises brain microplastic burden. Here is what we do have: A study found that the more processed forms of protein foods carry significantly more microplastic particles. > Chicken nuggets contained 31x more microplastics per gram than raw chicken breast (least processed item in the study) > Breaded shrimp, the most processed item in the study, carried ~130x the level in raw chicken breast (caveat: shrimp also carries higher baseline contamination from ocean and water pollution) > A 1,031-woman pregnancy cohort showed each 10% higher UPF intake tracked with 13.1% higher urinary phthalates, the plasticizers that leach from food packaging Microplastics cross from the blood to the brain. Animal research shows mechanistically how microplastic particles do cross the blood-brain barrier. In mice, polystyrene nanoparticles at 293 nm reached the brain within 2 hours of oral exposure. Particles at 1.14 μm and 9.55 μm did not cross at all. While most microscopy-based microplastic tests have a detection floor around 1 μm. The fraction that actually crosses into the brain sits below that threshold. If a test picks up larger particles in your blood, the smaller, BBB-crossing fraction is almost certainly there too, just below the detection window. The big ones are a proxy for the dangerous small ones. Cut all microplastic input where you can and avoid ultra processed foods, this another important one. In addition: use a water filtration system for your drinking water, reverse osmosis with remineralization is the gold standard. I recently reported complete elimination of microplastics from my semen (first in human demonstration) and a 87% reduction in my blood.

@ZeClint Hmmmm. Dates are over coffee but there are far fewer of them to be sure. Guys do not ask girls out. They sit home at night and do whatever.

Le déclin de la consommation d’alcool chez les ados. En tant que médecin, je devrais m’en réjouir. Et pourtant, je suis plutôt inquiet. Parce qu’on confond peut-être disparition d’un symptôme et bonne santé d’une génération. Oui, les adolescents boivent moins. Mais ils sortent moins. Ils couchent moins. Ils prennent moins de risques. Ils conduisent moins. Ils vivent moins de rites de passage. On a l’impression d’avoir « résolu un problème », alors qu’on a aussi progressivement détruit ce qui transformait des adolescents en adultes. Téléphones. Vie sociale numérisée. Anxiété permanente. Discours catastrophistes sur l’avenir. Culture de l’évitement du risque. Parents hyperprotecteurs. L’adolescence d’avant était parfois brutale, parfois excessive, parfois dangereuse. Mais elle était aussi profondément formatrice. On apprenait la honte, le courage, le rejet, la séduction, la hiérarchie sociale, la transgression, la responsabilité. On apprenait à devenir adulte au contact des autres pas derrière un écran. Je ne fais pas l’apologie de l’alcool. Je dis simplement qu’une société qui produit des adolescents parfaitement « safe » mais socialement inhibés, anxieux et isolés devrait peut-être s’interroger.

No one has all the answers as the future is ours to aspire bold good things rather than just hoping for the. We need to work together to help make them happen for good. The paper is as concise as it can be (for the moment) and covers many issues. Transparency from Anthropic is a plus so on that note bravo 👏🏼.

We've published a paper that explains our views on AI competition between the US and China. The US and democratic allies hold the lead in frontier AI today. Read more on what it’ll take to keep that lead: anthropic.com/research/2028-…

@sama Good things are NOT associated with 👺 Goblins.

what if we name the next model "goblin" almost worth it to make you all happy...

@tim_cook Ridiculous 😡

Thinking of all the moms around the world who shape our lives with their love and care. Thank you for all that you do. Happy Mother’s Day!
