@lydiakauppi Hi, Lydia, I’m a dipshit and want to tell you how I lost weight in a different way that completely misses the point of your post

I lost 75lbs on Zepbound, and it’s true people really don’t talk about the side effects. For instance, now when I bring up a health concern, my doctor orders tests

Rick Astley was incredible and the Blossoms absolutely nailed The Smiths sound. What a great rendition! (Glastonbury 2023)

They were in absolute fear for their lives. They would have hung these people if they thought they could get away with. Now crying because they have to pay for their hate.
Brian Allen@allenanalysis

A Georgia couple terrorized a Black family at a child’s birthday party. Confederate flags. Racial slurs. Guns. Death threats. Joe Torres got 20 years. Kyla Norton got 15. This is what accountability looks like when the system works.

@Ssnyder1835 I sucked it up for years….has to come out eventually. You either deal with it in a timely manner if you can, or face the inevitable breakdown 🤷‍♂️ Not much of a choice, but it’s all we have

This kind of stuff is so fucked up. As someone who has dealt with mental health issues in the past (anxiety, depression), men reaching out to others about their mental health struggles should be supported and celebrated. To judge asking for help as unattractive? garbage people
katsu@katsuxbt

Dana White explains why he hates men's mental health culture "I hate this whole men's mental health stuff that they talk about. Unfortunately, when you're a man, you are the provider, you can't be that guy posting on social media, oh I had a bad day and I'm so sad" "It's unattractive to other males, let alone women"

I’m sorry, but I’m not gonna be nicer about this. Neocon boomers are mortgaging my generations future by amassing trillions in debt, turning America into a pariah on the global stage, and getting our troops killed for another failing war. I have to watch these neocons lie about the state of this war on TV every single day. Then, the moment I push back and assertively ask, “hey, what’s the actual goal here?” I have a legion of neocon boomers telling me I should know my place. Or I should wait my turn to talk with the grown ups. Fuck that, genuinely. I’m not claiming to have all of the answers or be all knowing. But young people deserve a seat at the table to fight for our interests as well. 95% of media is made up of boomers in suits who created these problems, and being nicer isn’t going to fix them.

Not only was The Simpsons episode "Stark Raving Dad" removed from streaming but reprints of the season 3 DVD also omit the episode. Disney's stance is that no one should be allowed to see that episode.

I blame the parents. A part of childhood should be spent watching your dad's favorite violent movies & suffering through your mom's favorite songs in the car. That's how a living cultural memory is transmitted -- not via a perpetual bubble of age-appropriate content.
John Attridge@John_Attridge

Film literacy among young people is at an all time low. My gen z students are shockingly unfamiliar with many key landmarks of modern cinema that were released in the 1990s

@jerryteixeira I’m fitter than most 25 year olds in my early 50s. Difference is, they train seriously for a few months? They’ll wipe the floor with me… it’s important to be fit, but not delusional 😉

I compete in jiu jitsu at 46 and can hang with guys half my age on the mat. But there's one thing they can do that I can't. They can go hard Monday night and come back for Tuesday class like nothing happened. If I go hard Monday night, I can feel it the next day. And my Oura score the next morning matches. Sleep takes a hit. HRV down. My body still recovering from what happened 12 hours ago. At 25, your recovery system runs like a new engine. Full intensity, cool down in an hour, do it again tomorrow. At 46, at the same intensity and output, the engine takes 24 hours to cool down. Performance didn't really change, but recovery did. This is why I structure my week around recovery these days, not training. I try to hit the noon class when I can, because my recovery is dramatically better when I train midday vs. 6-8pm. But I have a wife, kids, work, responsibilities Just like you. I can't always get to the noon slot. So most weeks it's Monday evening 6-8pm, Wednesday 7-8:30pm, and Saturday at noon. Those evening sessions wreck my sleep architecture every time. Elevated resting heart rate, lower HRV, worse deep sleep. It's not an opinion, I can feel it and I can see it in my data. But when I give myself the recovery time I actually need, not what a 25 year old needs , I perform just as well the next time I step on the mat. Of course there are limits. At the highest levels of competitive sport, age matters. Younger athletes recover faster, so they can train at high intensities more frequently. And yes, you do lose some explosiveness after about 30. But a lot of that is tied to the muscle mass loss that happens in people who don't strength train. While we can mitigate that significantly. I won't be as explosive as a 25 year old who also trains properly, but I'm more explosive than the 25 year old who doesn't. Even if you're very muscular, fast twitch power is the first thing to go and at the highest levels, that matters a lot. For the other 99.9% of us, It doesn't matter much at all. What matters is, you don't decline much with age, but just have less margin for error. Rest days after 40 arent laziness, they're part of the program to keep performing at a high level. Provide enough stimulus to adapt, but just as important, enough recovery to come back and do it again feeling fresh. That's how you perform well for decades, not by forcing yourself to redline when what your body really needs is to recover.

MAGA patriots are not sheep like the looney libtards. Tucker seems to have forgotten that we use critical thinking based on the facts and receipts that we have seen to elect President Trump into the highest office in the land. We believe in country, law and order, freedom, common sense polices to Make America Great Again. We did not vote for President Trump based on anything Tucker or anybody else had to say. We voted for him based on what he, Donald Trump, said he would do and his proven record of doing just that while continuing to work tirelessly for this country. Tucker has lost his way is desperately trying to be relevant but that ship has sailed.

TUCKER CARLSON: “I’ll be tormented for a long time by the fact that I played a role in getting Donald Trump elected. And I want to say that I’m sorry for misleading people.” This is a very humble and honest statement. Big respect to Tucker.
