Why would any non-citizen be at a polling place?

"A professional soldier understands that war means killing people, war means maiming people, war means families left without fathers and mothers. All you have to do is hold your first dying soldier in your arms, and have that terribly futile feeling that his life is flowing out and you can't do anything about it. Then you understand the horror of war. Any soldier worth his salt should be antiwar. And still there are things worth fighting for."

-General H. Norman Schwarzkopf Jr.

If bartenders can go to jail for over-serving alcohol to someone who then kills another person, judges should go to jail for releasing criminals who do the same.

Currently going through Band of Brothers for the very first time. Being a paratrooper in WWII was truly courageous.

I’m not on Israel’s side
I’m not on Iran’s side
I’m not on Palestine’s side

I’m on whoever’s side gets these fucking immigrants out of my country and returns this place into pre-2001 when it was a proper nation to be proud of.

[Ella Maulding @ellamaulding]

Americans don’t want a $200 billion war with Iran.

We want 40 million deportations.

We want Islam out of our country, not bombs that funnel more Muslims into it.

[Bobby Lee @BobbyLeeMMA]

@JonnyBones By your own math there's nearly 44 million out there that would not get smashed

As you get into your bed each night you should tell yourself, "I'm warm, I'm flat, I'm dry & I'm not hungry."

Erasing Randy Couture from the UFC's records is truly a black mark on the sport🤦🏻‍♂️

I'll always remember Chuck Norris as the man who changed the course of dodgeball history by casting the deciding vote that allowed Average Joes to play in the championship of the Las Vegas International Dodgeball Open where they upset the heavily favored Globo Gym Purple Cobras.

RIP. 🙏

Of course we do.

The last movie I saw that I thought was genuinely good was Guy Ritchie's The Covenant.

[pagemasta @AdamPage85]

Movies have gotten SO BAD. Seriously. They aren’t good. When’s the last time you watched something as captivating as No Country For Old Men? Inception? They’re just awful now.

[Bobby Lee @BobbyLeeMMA]

One episode in. The binging of Band of Brothers has commenced 🪖🇺🇸

Had a volunteer statement for RASP and it already got approved!

I leave in one week for Fort Benning, Georgia. Fort Benning was the last place my dad was stationed back in 85'

Scientists put people on a 12-week exercise program and measured how old their bodies looked at the cellular level. After 12 weeks, their cells tested 10 months younger. That's from a 2026 study of over 45,000 people. Not slower aging. Younger.

Sinclair's four words each trigger a completely different chain reaction in the body. I dug through the research on all four.

Walking has the deepest evidence base. A 2025 review of 57 studies found that 7,000 steps per day reduced the risk of early death by roughly 47%. Every extra 1,000 steps lowered it by another 15%, based on data from 227,000 people. How you walk matters too. A study of 33,560 adults found that people who walked in uninterrupted 15-minute sessions had a death risk of 0.80% over 9.5 years. People who took the same number of steps in scattered bursts under 5 minutes? 4.36%. Same steps, five times the risk.

Running hits the brain hardest. The part of your brain responsible for memory (the hippocampus) shrinks 1 to 2% per year after age 50. That's one reason memory fades. But a trial at the University of Pittsburgh put 120 older adults on a one-year running program, and their hippocampus actually grew by 2%, reversing 1 to 2 years of brain shrinkage. How it works: when you run, your muscles release a chemical that travels into the brain and triggers the production of BDNF, a protein that acts like fertilizer for brain cells. It literally causes new neurons to grow. Mice that had this chemical genetically removed got zero brain benefits from running, even with the same mileage.

Lifting carries its own death-risk data. A review of 10 studies found that any amount of weight training lowered death risk by 15%, heart disease death by 19%, and cancer death by 14%. The sweet spot was about 60 minutes per week, at which the risk dropped by 27%. What caught my attention: combining lifting with cardio dropped death risk by 40% in a separate review of 370,000 people. Lifting alone, with zero cardio, showed no survival benefit in one large study of 216,000 older adults. The two need each other.

Stretching is the one nobody takes seriously. A 2024 study followed 3,139 people aged 46 to 65 for nearly 13 years, measuring flexibility across seven joints. Men with the stiffest bodies were 1.87x more likely to die during the study. For women, 4.78x. The likely reason is that flexible joints share the same structural materials as your arteries. Stiff joints often mean stiff blood vessels. Flexibility also predicts fall risk, which is one of the top causes of death in older adults.

Underneath all four, one shared mechanism keeps showing up. Exercise activates your cells' built-in recycling system (scientists call it autophagy). When you move hard, your cells start breaking down damaged parts, worn-out power generators, and accumulated junk, then reuse the raw materials to build fresh components. A 2016 Nobel Prize was awarded for discovering how this system works. People who live past 100 show significantly higher levels of this cellular cleanup than people the same age who die earlier. And in animal studies, when researchers silenced the genes responsible for this recycling, exercise no longer extended lifespan. The longevity benefit of movement runs through this one cleanup process.

Four words in the tweet. Four distinct biological pathways, each doing something the others can't.

Women could do this and be happy, but instead we force them into girlbossing their fertile years away in sterile offices.

[Seán Sheehan @SeanSheehanBA]

I find it mad people can't decipher the difference between Chimaev vs. Dricus and Oliveira vs. Max.

One is dominant, but boring, to just get over the line - which is understandable

The other is dominant with a constant search for the finish against an extremely good opponent defensively.

Or is it that any ground fighting, no matter how intriguing a battle, is now boring?

This is MMA, come on!
