Living longer and better doesn't require anything remotely complicated.
I'm 63 and have been an orthopedic surgeon for 30 years. The people who do best aren't doing anything crazy or exotic. They just refuse to let their lives narrow and acting accordingly.
Here’s my Twitter book …
- Don't smoke
- Keep alcohol modest or absent.
- Move
- Move more
- Keep moving
- Push and pull heavy things
- Sleep 7 hours.
- Have friends
- Keep moving.
- Find a reason to get out of bed in the morning!
- A sense of purpose is key.
- See your friends in person.
- Keep moving. For real benefit- consider 500+ min/wk. Sure… 120 min/week works. But my goal is vastly higher.
- Eat real food that you cook.
You can read books that say something else. You can try one of a thousand supplements or research grade injectables. Won’t matter one bit for most of you. Might hurt some of you.
Simple works really well.
Form the habits… they will largely determine your destiny.
There are no shortcuts.

Don't know if Trump or associates asked Zuckerberg to disrupt No Kings; or if he saw it as a chance to curry favor with Trump; or if he so believes in Trumpist authoritarianism that he decided to help out.
But it's urgent to stop this from happening again--e.g., on election day.

Latest: Zelenskyy tells reporters over WhatsApp that restrictions on Ukraine's Starlink systems remain. Interceptor drones can't function, logistics and operations hobbled. The maximum speed is 161 kph; "exceeding this limit causes the Starlink connection to cut out completely, resulting in the loss of the drone."
He says Ukraine has done tests to determine whether SpaceX is truly facing technical issues, as has been told Kyiv by the US side, or if this is a "deliberate operation... to restrict us, cut us off, and prevent us from defending ourselves and protecting our people, both at the front and among the civilian population."
He says Ukraine "sent a couple of vehicles equipped with Starlink terminals into European Union territory."
"They moved at speeds exceeding 180kph, and the Starlink systems worked perfectly. We have the relevant logs and evidence to prove this."
He adds: "The conclusion is clear: the restrictions are in effect within Ukraine but do not apply within the European Union. In other words, this is a planned operation."

میگویند پرواز هلسینکی به تورنتو 400 مسافر داشت ، اما تنها 200 وعده غذایی در هواپیما وجود داشت . خط هوایی اشتباه کرده بود و خدمه در شرایط سختی قرار گرفتند.
اما یک مهماندار باهوش ایده درخشانی داشت . حدود 30 دقیقه پس از برخاستن ، او اعلامیه زیر را اعلام کرد :خانم‌ها و آقایان ، من نمی‌دانم چطور ممکن است این اتفاق بیفتد ، اما ما 400 مسافر در هواپیما داریم و فقط 200 وعده غذایی!
هر کسی آنقدر مهربان باشد که از وعده غذایی خود صرف نظر کند تا شخص دیگری بتواند آن را بخورد ، با شراب رایگان نامحدود در طول پرواز پاداش می‌گیرد .شش ساعت بعد ، اعلامیه بعدی آنها دنبال شد :خانم‌ها و آقایان ، اگر کسی بخواهد نظرش را تغییر دهد ، ما هنوز 200 وعده غذایی داریم!
نتیجه اخلاقی داستان : شراب خواران قلب های بسیار بزرگ و سخاوتمندی دارند !
روزتان خوش باد

If you don’t have a Tea Olive in your yard in South Carolina, you’re missing out.
Not sure there is a better smell in nature, and my entire property wreaks of its sweetness from only 2 mature shrubs.
To those with entire hedge rows of Tea Olives, your community service work is complete. Thank you.

One of the greatest moments in Capitol history.
When Laura Loomer attempted to disrupt a hearing, Missouri Rep. Bill Long, who is a real auctioneer, began calling a fake auction to drown her out until she was escorted her out.
He then yields to laughter.

I think it's plausible that within a year we'll see AI-based cyberattacks on the power grid, financial system, internet infra, or water. Things like the French supermarket cyberattack but worse. As basic prep I would recommend:
Cash: Get a few weeks of spending in cash
Internet: Get a Starlink Mini so that you have Internet if local fiber or cell is down (~$150 plus $10/month in standby mode)
Power, minimal: Enough to run Starlink Mini and phones (~$1,250)
Daily need: about 1 kWh (Starlink Mini 0.7, phones and laptops 0.2; can limit runtime)
Battery: 1 kWh LiFePO4, e.g. EcoFlow DELTA 3 Plus
Solar: 1x400W folding panel, which refills about 1 kWh on a sunny day
Power, better: Enough to run a fridge, Starlink Mini and phones (~$5,000)
Daily need: about 2.5 kWh (fridge 1.5, Starlink Mini 0.7, phones and laptops 0.2)
Battery: 4 kWh LiFePO4, e.g. EcoFlow DELTA Pro 3
Solar: 3x400W folding panels, which refill about 3 kWh/day in sun
Generator: ~2,500W dual-fuel inverter generator; refills battery in a few hours even if weather is bad; get a few 20 lb propane tanks
Water: 14+ gal of water per person for two weeks
Food: 2+ weeks of shelf-stable food
Comms: Hand-crank NOAA emergency radio

Charlotte-Mecklenburg police officers reportedly had a text thread competing to pull over the most Black drivers, while using racial slurs in discussions about force against Black residents. More than half a dozen officers have reportedly been recommended for termination or quit.
A badge should NEVER be a license for discrimination! These allegations call into question traffic stops and use-of-force incidents involving these officers!

MAJOR: Reuters is citing MULTIPLE sources that the SAUDI ARAMCO HEADQUARTERS is on fire!
“One source said the Aramco headquarters was on fire. An evacuation order for the building had been issued, four of the sources said.
A source with direct knowledge of the matter told Reuters the Aramco headquarters had been struck.”

Comida familiar. Sale el tema de mi abuelo. Vive solo y varios empiezan a decirle que debería plantearse una residencia: “Allí estarías acompañado, tendrías actividades, gente de tu edad…”. Él escucha sin discutir. Hasta que uno insiste: “Lo decimos porque no queremos que estés solo”. Mi abuelo deja el tenedor y responde...

"Trump also called Mark Carney apparently and begged him like a dog for diesel from Canada."
@Timodc and @BillKristol on Trump turning to Canada for desperately needed diesel after picking a trade war with Mark Carney and driving up energy prices with his war in Iran.

Court rules prohibit me from sharing audio of this hearing.
But I've never heard a judge scream at full voice at a lawyer before.
Not like this.

Trump's DHS raids Rep. Ilhan Omar's home because of paperwork filled out by her father in 1995.
The Trumpists are desperate. But loyalists at powerful agencies will obey orders.
Desperation is dangerous.
Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country.
