Like most nutritional studies, this is not necessarily casual. “ Findings are correlational only due to the observational design; potential confounders include sleep patterns, overall diet quality, socioeconomic factors, and possible reverse causality where mental health issues lead to skipped meals.”

Is Intermittent Fasting the greatest scam in the world?

@LukeGromen Oh look, a chart with no data source.

Very important western narrative violation 👇

@wijuwiju0x Yeah insurance cancellation / premium rises will definitely cause issues. Not sure how well / quickly US DFC will get that reinsurance program up. Hopefully as they pass through, more will follow.

@rocknet_eth I saw report there were like 14 ships that crossed last week, haven't really looked/verified into it. but prices (aside from the hectic rally to $120 earlier) tell that traffic is definitely affected

I thought he already unblocked Strait of Hormuz last week.

@scottmelker Touch grass me’dude.

I love my country, but not my government.

@chamath Requiring a standing filibuster is not ending the filibuster. The ghost filibuster is the problem.

The consequences of ending the filibuster are non trivial but this may be the mountain for the filibuster to die on.

1) ethPandaOps is great with the analysis and charts 2) Some portion of block producers will play timing games, because they can and historically it has been to their benefit 3) It degrades the network to some extent, and IMO the protocol should be make change(s) to reduce / eliminate it. Any chance FOCIL will have an impact?

Does not meet the smell test! Powell and his allies are using the language of “independence” to turn a basic oversight dispute into a political morality play, and it looks increasingly like an attempt to delegitimize any legal scrutiny of the Fed. This has all the elements of a hoax. What Powell actually did •Powell chose to go public with a dramatic video statement saying DOJ subpoenas “threatened a criminal indictment” over his testimony on the Fed’s multibillion‑dollar building renovations. •He explicitly framed the subpoenas as “pretexts” and cast them as retaliation for the Fed setting rates independently of the president, elevating a renovation/cost‑overrun inquiry into an existential attack on central bank independence. The framing of criminal indictment came from Powell! In what look liked a scripted response, all of the Fed acolytes on Wall St cried foul, they bought in hook line and sinker!!! What the U.S. Attorney is saying •The U.S. Attorney’s Office for D.C. has stated they contacted the Fed “on multiple occasions” about cost overruns and Powell’s congressional testimony, were ignored, and therefore resorted to formal legal process, which they stress “is not a threat.” •Jeanine Pirro has been explicit that “the word ‘indictment’ has come out of Mr. Powell’s mouth, no one else’s,” and that “none of this would have happened if they had just responded to our outreach.” “Above the law” behaviour. •Powell now publicly insists “no one is above the law,” even as the record shows the Fed disregarded informal outreach and only engaged once grand jury subpoenas landed, which is the opposite of transparent cooperation. Recall Choke Point 2.0 and the unbanking of individuals. •By recasting a straightforward question of cost overruns and possible misstatements to Congress as an illegitimate “criminal indictment threat,” Powell is effectively demanding a special zone of immunity wrapped in the rhetoric of independence. Why central bankers are “charging the hill” •Former Fed chairs and global monetary grandees have rushed out statements condemning the probe as an attack on Fed independence, treating any prosecutorial look at a central banker as inherently out of bounds. The former Fed officials’ statement is doing exactly what the “51 intel officials” letter did on the Hunter Biden laptop: using elite signatures to launder a political narrative into institutional dogma and declare scrutiny itself illegitimate. Powell and his allies are recasting a narrow DOJ inquiry into cost overruns and testimony accuracy as an existential assault on “independence,” and an all‑too‑willing media is once again treating the letter as revealed truth instead of asking hard questions •This closes ranks around the idea that central banks sit on a higher plane than normal agencies, immune not only from political pressure on rates, which is legitimate, but also from standard legal and fiscal oversight, which is not. MSM and the death of the 4th estate •Much of legacy media has adopted Powell’s framing almost verbatim: “unprecedented attack on independence,” “monetary policy under assault,” while relegating the core factual dispute,ignored outreach, cost overruns, accuracy of testimony, to secondary status. Powell and the central banking crowd are behaving in a way that is frankly odd: they stonewall basic oversight, scream “independence” the moment anyone reaches for legal tools, and act as though they stand above the law—while a compliant MSM gladly carries their narrative, proof the fourth estate has checked out. All of this does not meet the smell test. Is the Fed above the US Constitution? Why did Powell go public and choose the framing that he did? Why did MSM and so called objective pundits not do any objective analysis. Smells like elements of a Russia Russia Russia hoax strategy to me.

@letsgetonchain Oh, that sucks then. Haven’t experienced that, hope it gets fixed.

@rocknet_eth x.com/letsgetonchain…

X is more toxic than ever. I used to be able to navigate it by staying in the "Following tab" but even that is algo driven by default now.. The world urgently needs a social media platform with X like network effects and algos that are open source and verifiably running.

@adamtaggart The 100k area has turned out to be a big distribution zone for OG whales. We’ll get through it, just a matter of when.

Bitcoin has given up all of its 2025 gains & is now flat YTD Putting your money in T-bills would have materially outperformed the world's most widely-held cryptocurrency so far this year Bitcoiners: how material is this? Just another correction before vaulting to new highs? Or is this weakness a real concern?

This post argues with itself, and the mitigating factors are not happening like they used to. We're running nearly wartime deficits in peacetime and alleged economic growth. What happens in the next crisis? Take advantage of those with crappier currencies because at least so far they've accepted ours isn't a great strategy. And "taking advantage" now - while we can - because it won't last forever is as morally bankrupt as we're headed financially. Plus, we're no longer taking measured advantage, they're literally proposing to remove the measuring stick (debt ceiling). Just as personal debt is negotiating a pay cut with your future self, the increased and sustained pace of deficits is stealing from future generations and should be curtailed. I do agree that spending reform won't happen without revolution, because so little of the public truly want it. I suspect a market revolution first, and hopefully a civil revolution doesn't follow, but history is not kind to this hope. We'll stop spending when the marginal new lender is tapped out, or want much higher interest rates. I can see this happening already to a small extent. Perhaps slowly, then all at once. x.com/bravosresearch…

The deficit does not matter It's completely irrelevant until you have any alternative to the dollar. Treasuries are just yield-bearing dollars and: -60% of the world's debt is denominated in them. -90% of world FX transactions are in dollars. -50% of SWIFT payments are denominated in them. -95% of stablecoin volume is denominated in the them. If you are the denominator, relative value isn't relative entitlement Now does this mean we can print our way into infinity? No. Eventually, the dollar will be devalued and dethroned if that happens. What matters is the pace. Slow and steady increases aren't going to tip over the apple cart. Wholesale reform of our spending system only comes through entiltement reform (medicare, social security, etc), and that is not happening without a literal revolution. So it's not a popular opinion, but I think we need to continue to take (measured) advantage of the position we have because it won't last forever.

🔥 "I couldn't help myself. I was like, this is total f*cking bullsh*t. You guys are sitting there pounding your chest over something that you know was unethical. They bailed out the bankers while we lost our houses and jobs, and they got $20 billion in bonuses." @LawrenceLepard confronts the financial elite in our explosive new series on The Big Print with @MattyIceSensei. Harvard bred the architects of this mess—yet almost no one from those ivory towers dares speak up. Until now. The system is designed to screw you—housing prices tripled while wages stagnated, 1% owns 92% of wealth, and the Fed changes rules mid-game to protect their friends. How did it affect three generations of Larry's family? Bitcoin might be our only way out of this Fourth Turning. Episode 1 drops now! #TheBigPrint #FixTheMoney
