@TRHLofficial @chrismartenson Worked on 103rd floor. We took an express 1 stop straight to 78 where there was a sky lobby. From there, several elevator banks covering sub sections: ours was like 101-105. I think it improves people flow as well.

@Polymarket How funny is it that the NBA will end up saving the WNBA

In Nashville I ordered hot chicken. The woman at the counter was named Brenda. She did not ask if I wanted it spicy. She asked how much of my afternoon I was willing to lose. "Mild, medium, hot, XXX, or the one we do not put on the menu?" A guest does not choose the lightest blade. "XXX," I said. Brenda looked at me the way a smith looks at a man who has asked for a sword sharper than his hands. "You ever had this before?" "No." "You sure?" "I am sure." She wrote it down. No mercy. It arrived. Red. Gleaming. Beautiful the way a warning is beautiful. I took one bite. For three seconds there was chicken. Then there was only light. A child at the next table whispered, "Mama, that man is glowing." Brenda glanced once. "You good?" I could not feel my tongue. I nodded anyway. A samurai does not negotiate with poultry. She set down a glass of milk I had not ordered. "On the house. Everybody gets one lie. Yours was XXX." I finished it. The chicken won. I returned the next day. Brenda smiled, not unkind. "Medium?" "...Medium." She nodded like a teacher watching a student finally read the room. In Japan we test a blade by cutting, then leave the student alone with the lesson. In Nashville they test a man by fire— then set the milk down like a hand on his shoulder. That is not cruelty. That is belonging. America does not ask if you can take the heat. America brings the heat. Then America brings the milk.

@AJA_Cortes Same. Wrecked back from rowing high volume and no strength training. Protrusion L5/S1, sciatic numbness and pain. Trainer got me deadlifting. Fixed thoracic chain.

@hubermanlab I still think the shift (what we have now) is optimal. Circadian mentality says move with the sun, so this actually shifts the "real world" to line up with what we should be doing.

I want to take this opportunity to call out some serious dumbasses on this platform. Not something I do on a regular basis, but if you’re reading this, I may very well be talking to you. Yesterday, I read close to a thousand comments and tweets responding to Secretary Hegseth’s announcement that soldiers thirty and older will get annual testosterone screening built into the health assessment they already get every year. Soldiers under thirty can request the same test voluntarily. Screening is mandatory for the older group. Treatment never is. If a doctor calls it a deficiency, TRT will remain the soldier’s choice. An alarming number of those comments said some version of the exact same beyond idiotic thing: Soldiers don’t need TRT. They need to fix their sleep and get their diet in check and a lot of the people saying this were fitness coaches: Professionals, not bots, not randoms, but people whose entire business is apparently built on understanding physiology, telling their following that a twenty six year old three weeks into a deployment just needs some morning sunlight and a macro tracker. These men don’t sleep eight consistent hours in a climate controlled bedroom. They don’t hit a sauna after training or book a massage when their shoulders lock up. They don’t get three home cooked meals a day built around their macros. They eat what’s in front of them, sleep when they’re allowed to, and run on a nervous system pushed past normal limits for months at a stretch, under conditions most of the people posting their goofy takes have never come within a mile of. That’s not a sleep hygiene problem. That’s not a diet problem. That’s a body being asked to operate under sustained physiological siege, and telling those men a green smoothie and a consistent bedtime fixes it is either dishonest or it’s fucking stupid, and I don’t know which one is worse. If you spent yesterday telling soldiers to skip the bloodwork and get their circadian rhythm in order instead, I’m talking directly to you. You do not understand hormones. You do not understand what deployment does to a body. You’ve built a following on overly confident nonsense, and it’s time for you to shut the fuck up and let the men actually being asked to fight get the care they need. And if you think I’m out of line or being too harsh, bite me. Anyone telling soldiers to simply optimize their sleep schedule and get their diet in check is a halfwit.

@AJA_Cortes what's good to use instead of you're not a coffee drinker?

@join_velocity @DrDeepMD @EricHinman Guide

@AJA_Cortes Years ago, I torched my back with high volume rowing with no lifting. After PT, added lifting and deadlifting literally saved my back. No issues now

@JohnGoldman It’s awesome. And I’m healthier than I’ve ever been.

@Cernovich Do it as a kid when your skull is squishy. I did it as an adult (SARPE) and they had to cut my skull up. Big improvement but crappy recovery from surgery.

@JohnGoldman @coookwithchris As an outdoor athlete, I’m a huge fan of daylight savings.

@JohnGoldman Have you gotten over your TRT feelings yet? 😀

This ICE situation is really complex. My take is more nuanced. I want our immigration laws to be enforced but I just want them to do it without using any force, and without anyone ever getting hurt, and without anything sad or upsetting happening ever, and if the people we’re trying to deport don’t want to be deported, or if liberal activists don’t want us to deport them, then obviously in that case we shouldn’t do it, but I’m totally a conservative on the issue, unless people get really mad at me then never mind please don’t yell I’m sorry.

What I see happening with this "ICE is Trump's Gestapo" narrative, from the perspective of the dialectical political warfare that it is: The conflict with ICE, which is being initiated and deliberately instigated by the Left, is causing a lot of the population to harden behind "masked agents of the federal government." This is a deliberate strategy they're running in concert with a sophisticated narrative operation. Most of what the Left does with its narratives is makes them come true even though they aren't true at first. They're constructing "reality" around real events. In this case, they get their people to act like ICE is the Gestapo, and that gives them have both a narrative that can come true later and a narrative that motivates the base to action that makes it come true. This is dialectical reasoning and dialectical political warfare. Based on their narrative, Leftists (many of whom are actors and paid agitators making this happen) go fight ICE because it's allegedly the Gestapo, and fighting ICE makes ICE go harder and lots of people to back ICE going harder. ICE has to go harder and harder to do its job, and people who are still sane increasingly back ICE going harder and harder (me among them) until it crosses certain boundaries. The Left plays off every escalation to make "ICE is the new Gestapo" seem more and more true, driving the next turn of this spiral, which is drilling down toward a point where in enough respects it's true enough even if it's not literally true, and we have both of lots of people supporting ICE as if it is a new Gestapo and lots of other people resisting ICE as if it's a new Gestapo. The Trump administration and DHS are caught in the pinch of this situation and are ultimately negated by having to fall to one side or the other of ty dialectically constructed dilemma. Leftist officials in Minnesota know this. Most of the Trump Administration doesn't know this, and some of the ones who do are fueling it, not working to outsmart it (subversives acting from within). It's an incredibly dangerous situation that requires incredible care and savvy to negotiate well. What needs to happen is that ICE and DHS need to act with the utmost of professionalism and clarity, placing their focus on maximally objectionable criminals and engaging in clear, professional communications with the public (not memes and shitposts from the official DHS accounts). It needs to name and explain this dynamic clearly and explain how the officials in Minnesota and their street thugs on the ground, in conjunction with a coordinated network of NGOs, are forcing this illusion and issue and rededicate itself to mission, fairness, and clarity, pressing to hold Minnesota and other officials to account for the escalation they're driving. The purposes for such a firm commitment to mission have to be explained to the public clearly and reflected through the actions of agents in the field. Otherwise, it will spiral out of control, the way dialectics are meant to, and the ultimate cost will be the public delegitimization of Trump's immigration agenda and his federal law enforcement authority.

2026 is almost unimaginable to those of us who had "time in the wilderness." It's a completely better world. Yet we never win. There's no tidy ending. The prize for winning is we get to fight again. Which is better than being slaughtered. That's for sure.

This argument is just entirely fake, for two reasons. 1) In the Obama administration, they counted being turned away at the border as a deportation. A person would show up, be sent back, and counted as a deportation. We have to do deportations from the interior of the country because Biden and Harris let them walk in. 2) In the cities that are not sanctuary cities, the deportation process is orderly and normal--like most law enforcement. In Minneapolis and a few other sanctuary jurisdictions, local jurisdictions and a few leftwing agitators have decided to wage war on all immigration enforcement officers. They are hoping that a little chaos will convince us to give up on immigration enforcement. They are wrong.

Barack Obama deported more than 3 million people from this country while he was president. No masked gangs descending on neighborhoods, snatching ordinary working people from their cars and disappearing them, storming homes without judicial warrants. This is just force, not law.

You will never convince many on the left that the ICE agent in Minneapolis didn't just murder a young mother in her car. Remember Michael Brown? I knew a nice liberal woman who kept posting about his "murder." When the DOJ report came out - from Obama/Holder - demonstrating that Brown attacked the cop, tried to take his gun, and was killed in the scuffle - I showed it to this woman, explained to her what happened. The next year on the anniversary of Brown's death, she was again posting about his "murder" and putting up supposed quotes from him like he was some kind of great person. With some people they are just lying to keep up their narrative. For others it's just psychologically difficult to walk back a position they've made publicly over and over. Others are just dumb. But don't expect any amount of video footage or testimony to convince many people about this latest episode.
