Richest man in Barcelona went on a walk in the mountains above the city with his son. He fell to his death. Which is very rare. The police think the son pushed him. The son said he didn't do it. Lots of people around the father wanted the inheritance. The son, the father's gf, the son's instagram gf, Now they think the the family therapist was also involved in trying to convince the son to push the dad to his death. Almost everyone around him would benefit from his death. Agatha CHristie novel

This case is getting new, interesting layers. It seems that Jonathan Andic and his father were being treated by some sort of modern “Rasputina”, better known under the name of Dr Lüderwaldt, an Ecuadorian charlatan (not colleged psychologist) using her first husband’s name. 1/3

@maryarchived So now we're policing water for fat people too? No but seriously, I see people of all sizes carrying those ridiculous Stanley cups or big regular bottles all the time. That's the amount (at least) you're supposed to drink during the day anyway, but most people don't

@AnthonyTFarley @Thegenrlstaff The mayoral race isn't gerrymandered, but the state and federal house districts are. The gerrymandered maps depend heavily on assumptions about turnout. Because of that, a candidate like Pratt can have an impact on the results of other races even if he doesn't win his election.

The point isn't to get a Pratt win, or even to get a GOP gubernatorial win. It's that the Dems have leveraged their gerrymandering to an insane degree and unpredictable shifts in the electorate in high profile races can cause catastrophic results for them. Even if Pratt goes down by 15 - 20 points in a higher-than-average election turnout, if he drives up GOP low-props and increases the defection rate, you may see Dem representatives start to go down, or at the very least force them to burn resources in California that were earmarked for other states.
Christian Heiens 🏛@ChristianHeiens

Republicans are currently at a combined 39.54% of the statewide vote for Governor and Spencer Pratt isn’t even cracking 30% in Los Angeles. Pratt has run a phenomenal campaign on social media and I don’t want to knock him at all. He’s done a terrific job, but Los Angeles is just not interested in anything except yet more managed decline at the hands of gay race communists. There’s absolutely nothing in California to be optimistic about. The state is dying and there’s no signs whatsoever that it’s going to voluntarily course correct any time soon.

The experts: - The naval blockade won’t work. - Iran is winning the war and they have all the leverage. - Oil prices will soar. Reality: - The blockade worked and the strait is open. - Iran capitulated. - Oil prices are down 10% this morning. Stop taking these people seriously.

Democrats just approved a 9.9 percent tax on income above $1 million. If you stay in Washington, you’ll pay a combined rate with the top income tax (37 percent) of over 46 percent. Washington will have the highest tax rate in the United States...jonathanturley.org/2026/03/12/was…

Now that fewer people read, reading itself gets treated as a moral good. That’s not right. Reading the wrong things can make you dumber than not reading at all. they miscalibrate you. Books aren’t automatically good. Only some are. In some cases, you’re better off not reading at all and figuring life out solely through action and movement.

Reading for 3 hours a day completely rearranges your nervous system. You stop feeling the urge to scroll. Your thinking becomes slower, calmer, and deeper. I experienced this today.

Suneel Dhand MD@DrSuneelDhand·
The rise of GLP-1 drugs troubles me hugely. Yes, they “work.” They suppress appetite by slowing and effectively paralyzing the stomach. Biology is overridden. Hunger is muted. Calories drop. But in the process, something far more important is outsourced: Self-regulation, restraint, and the daily practice of discipline. It’s the equivalent of saying, “Why study when there’s a drug to pass the exam?” You might get the result— but you lose the transformation. Because the process is the point. In my opinion, that’s part of the point of the human journey. Shortcuts don’t build resilience. They erode it. And this is not just an individual issue. It’s cultural and yes, even spiritual. Civilizations don’t decline because people suffer. They decline when people stop believing effort matters. And this always backfires. You cannot bypass biology without consequences. The side effects are already becoming more well known. Muscle is lost. Bone weakens. Organs like the pancreas and thyroid show problems. Metabolism slows. Dependency grows. And something deeper quietly erodes— confidence, identity, self-trust. Eventually, the bill comes due. This isn’t about shame. It’s not about moral superiority. It’s about reality. Your body was never meant to be silenced or subdued. It is your temple. Your vehicle through life. Something to be respected, trained, and protected— not medicated into submission. There’s a reason greed, sloth, and gluttony were named among the seven deadly sins. Not as insults, but as warnings. Ancient wisdom about what happens when restraint disappears and effort is abandoned. I have deep compassion for people who are struggling. Modern life can be genuinely hard. Many feel exhausted, overwhelmed, and defeated. But compassion without truth isn’t kindness. The truth— uncomfortable as it may be— is also deeply empowering: There is no real version of health without effort. There never has been and there never will be. The good news? Effort doesn’t require perfection. It doesn’t require extremes. It requires ownership. Walking when you don’t feel like it. Lifting something heavy. Eating real food. Saying no when it would be easier to say yes. These aren’t punishments. They are acts of self-respect. We are living in a moment where the easy path is everywhere. Where shortcuts are celebrated. Where responsibility is quietly handed off to systems, pills, and excuses. And sadly the medical profession perpetuates this culture. It’s planned that during the upcoming Patriots Seahawks Super Bowl broadcast, one of the greatest athletes of our time, Serena Williams, will appear in an advertisement promoting GLP-1 weight-loss drugs. Let that sink in. An athlete whose greatness was built on discipline, sacrifice, pain tolerance, repetition, and relentless personal effort — potentially endorsing a shortcut that removes those very principles. That’s exactly why choosing effort now matters more than ever. In an age obsessed with shortcuts, choose discipline. In a world outsourcing responsibility, take it back. Not loudly or performatively. Just consistently. Be a shining example. Not because it’s easy, but because it’s timeless.

Since the NFL started recording interceptions in 1933, no team ever has finished a season without an interception. The Jets would be the first if they do not get an interception today at Buffalo.

Derek Thompson@DKThomp·
This is a great piece with some mind-boggling statistics. - At Brown and Harvard, more than 20% of undergraduates are registered as disabled - At Amherst: more than 30 percent - At Stanford: nearly 40 percent Soon, many of these schools "may have more students receiving [disability] accommodations than not, a scenario that would have seemed absurd just a decade ago." As students and their parents have recognized the benefits of claiming disability—extended time on tests, housing accommodations, etc—the rates of disability at colleges, and especially at elite colleges, has exploded. America used to stigmatize disability too severely. Now elite institutions reward it too liberally. It simply does not make any sense to have a policy that declares half of the students at Stanford cognitively disabled and in need of accommodations.

Rebecca Heineman sadly passed away. Known her since the 80s when I'd drive her to work, one of the most brilliant programmers around. A real gut punch earlier today when she messaged me: "We have gone on so many adventures together! But, into the great unknown! I go first!!!" :(
