Since the War began on Feb 27th, the S&P 500 (black) is up 7.34%. But the S&P 500 without AI stocks (blue) is effectively unchanged. So, the entire S&P 500 Index rally since February has been driven by AI stocks.

But look at what happened on Friday, June 5th!

The S&P 500 was down 2.6%, its biggest daily loss since last October.

The S&P 500 without AI was up 0.02% (call it unchanged).

So, the entire sell-off on Friday was AI stocks. The "normal world" did nothing on Friday.

The Mediterranean diet may be doing something really interesting at the mitochondrial level.

People with high Mediterranean diet adherence had significantly higher levels of two mitochondrial-derived microproteins known as Humanin and SHMOOSE. These are emerging molecules involved in cell stress resistance, mitochondrial signaling, and healthy aging.

What stood out is that specific Mediterranean diet foods, including olive oil, fish, and legumes were associated with higher microprotein levels. And Humanin was inversely associated with two markers of oxidative stress.

We already know the Mediterranean diet supports cardiovascular and metabolic health. This study suggests that some of those benefits may be mediated through mitochondrial microproteins.

Heavenly Father,

Thank You for Your love, mercy, and faithfulness. Guide my steps today and fill my heart with Your peace. Give me wisdom in every decision, strength in every challenge, and faith to trust You in all circumstances.

Forgive my sins and help me walk in Your ways. Protect my family and loved ones, bless our lives, and draw us closer to You each day.

May Your will be done in my life, and may I bring glory to Your name in all that I do.

In Jesus’ name I pray,
Amen. 🙏❤️

I don't know why Galatians 3 is so hard to obey but this is simple. There is neither Jew nor Greek. There is neither black nor white. There is neither Korean nor Hispanic. We are all one body.

No one should be erecting artificial barriers or starting groups in the church segregated by skin color or ethnicity. Not the left-wing "affinity group" promoters and not the right wing "kin and kind" promoters.

We are ONE body. And I will worship alongside my brothers and sisters of every color and cultural background and I will oppose anyone who tries to suggest we should be separated.

You have far too much time if you, a middle aged objectively rotund man, spend a beautiful Saturday morning protesting a girl in her mid twenties by saying she should've swam faster 4 years ago because she didn't want to a man in the locker room.

Seek therapy.

[Mariners PR @MarinersPR]

Incredible goal. Six days until the US plays game one. And they are looking solid in these warm up matches.

Brayden McNabb is wearing a cage in game three just 48 hours after most likely breaking his orbital bone, nose and jaw. Hockey tough.
