@mandyarthur **Extremely low—under binomial assumptions where new voters mirror typical primary turnout splits (say ~45-55% incumbent support), the odds of 52k new voters going >90% against one are vanishingly small (<<0.0001%), absent massive, targeted mobilization.**

@JohnFernandez1 If you don’t want to feel like your conversations are subject to surveillance, I’d probably start by not posting them on the worlds largest social media platform.

Pope Leo XIV@Pontifex·
Absurd and inhuman violence is spreading ferociously through the sacred places of the Christian East, profaned by the blasphemy of war and the brutality of business, with no regard for people’s lives, which are considered at most collateral damage of self-interest. But no gain can be worth the life of the weakest, children, or families. No cause can justify the shedding of innocent blood.

@Manny_Street I’m told by reliable sources in both the US and Russia that the Kremlin has had the Epstein files, and more similar, for years.

My contribution to the ideal rep range discussion: Ultra low rep range = highly effective but not as efficient Low-moderate rep range = MONEY High reps = still plenty of stimulus if taken near/to failure but way too high a fatigue cost Focus on the concept…not the specifics
Dean Turner tweet media
Sama Hoole@SamaHoole

Why low rep training feels "wrong" to most people: You finish a set of 5 heavy reps. No pump. No burn. Heart rate barely elevated. Could have a conversation immediately after. Brain says: "That wasn't hard enough." Then you finish a set of 15 reps. Massive pump. Burning sensation. Gasping for air. Sweating. Need to sit down. Brain says: "NOW we're working." Your brain is confusing systemic fatigue with muscular stimulus. The muscle was challenged adequately at rep 5. Everything after that was just making you tired. Growth doesn't care about your perception of difficulty. It cares about mechanical tension. This is the disconnect you need to overcome.

@nntaleb I had similar from a Labrum Tear hss.edu/health-library… I’m awaiting surgery, only true way to diagnose is MRI; don’t waste time, money or bullshit with alternative diagnostic routes. I did. MRI first, go from there.

This friend of mine has been dealing with painful shoulder impingement as a punishment for doing too many clean/pres w/o the diversification of lateral moves. Full body exercise is not full body exercise. 1) What is the best therapy? 2) Is rucking good or bad for it?

Evidence mounting from Epstein files that Farage, Boris Johnson & Rees-Mogg conspired with a foreign national Steve Bannon to bring down a British PM. Which is illegal btw. Yet not a whisper of this will you hear from Britain's right wing journalists like @afneil & @FraserNelson

I want to thank everyone for all the support we’re receiving. There really is an incredible amount of it. For me, the sacrifice of the people depicted on the helmet means more than any medal ever could - because they gave the most precious thing they had. And simple respect toward them is exactly what I want to give.

A SINGLE 20g dose of creatine increases cognitive processing speed by 24.5% within 3.5 hours. A placebo-controlled trial found that creatine rapidly enhanced brain bioenergetics and improved cognitive performance during sleep deprivation, with effects lasting up to nine hours.
Nicolas Hulscher, MPH tweet media
Jesse Morse, M.D.@DrJesseMorse

Creatine: A 2024 Nature Scientific Reports study found a single high dose (~20g) improved processing speed by 24.5% and buffered against sleep deprivation for 9 hours. While 5g saturates muscle, recent reviews suggest 15–20g is necessary to maximize brain creatine level. You should be taking 15-20 grams of creatine a day!
