The brutal part is what the body does with zero training. It reads inactivity as an instruction and starts disassembling.

The numbers first. 46.5% of US adults meet neither the aerobic nor the strength guideline, and only 26.4% hit both. The bar is 150 minutes of moderate cardio a week plus two strength sessions. Roughly 20 minutes of brisk walking a day and lifting something heavy twice. Most of the country clears neither.

Here's the physiology that runs underneath that. After 30, an untrained body sheds 3-8% of its muscle mass per decade, and the rate accelerates past 60. Muscle is your largest glucose disposal site. Lose it and insulin resistance climbs even at the same body weight. Bone follows the same rule: no mechanical load, no signal to maintain density. The skeleton literally budgets calcium based on how hard you push against gravity.

Then there's the cardio side. A Cleveland Clinic study tracked 122,000 patients and found low cardiorespiratory fitness carried a higher mortality risk than smoking. Smoking. The thing with the warning label on the box.

None of this requires a gym. The dose that captures most of the benefit is a fast walk and two sessions of pushups and squats a week. The body keeps whatever you ask it to keep.

It just never received the request.

SpaceX millionaires 4,000 x $1mil , 400 x $100 mil

Every employee who joined before the first succesful launch made (unless they sold early) more than $100 million.

SpaceX lists June 12 at ~$1.75T.

Work backward from the cap table. At $1.75T, clearing $100M takes ~0.0057% of the company.

- 2002–2008, first ~500 in: joined at a ~$50M company. Held to $1.75T = a 17,000x. The core of the club — maybe 150–250 left holding

- September 2008, SpaceX has first successful launch

- 2010–2016: joined at $1B–$10B. Needs a senior grant — directors, principal engineers, early Starlink. ~100–200

- C-suite + board: Shotwell, Johnsen past $1B. A layer of SVPs below them clears $100M on equity, not salary. ~20–40

- Post-2016: joined at $20B–$350B. To hit $100M you'd have needed ~0.4% of the company. Impossible for an employee. This is the millionaire tier — almost none reach $100M

The tally:
~400–500 at $100M+
A few dozen above $500M
A handful of billionaires past Musk

Same building. Same mission. Two orders of magnitude apart — set entirely by what year you walked in.

Early isn't a strategy. It's a date stamp.

I sell apparel and still support the T-shirt and grey pants idea. Save all the cool gear for making it to the next level

College athletes are built in what they do outside of games and practice. I wish more people would understand that. Sure, more exposure helps, but your skills are built taking BP, hitting off a tee, taking ground balls, playing catch, and working out your body. All travel before age 14 is pretty much pointless. It’s not going to stop though, just hope it gets pulled back a little bit

Universities had 17 years of warning. They responded by doing the opposite of what the math demanded.

In 2008, American birth rates fell off a cliff. The Great Recession made people stop having kids. Those never-born children would be turning 18 right now. The number of U.S. high school graduates peaked at roughly 3.9 million in 2025. By 2029, that number drops 15%. By 2041, it drops by nearly half a million students per year.

Every school in this tweet had access to the same Census data. They all saw the same curve.

Administrative positions at U.S. colleges grew 60% between 1993 and 2009, ten times the rate of tenured faculty growth. Non-instructional spending (student services, administration) grew 29% from 2010 to 2018. Instructional spending grew 17%. Average tuition at public four-year schools went from $3,500 in 2000 to $10,560 in 2023. Yale now has more administrators than undergraduate students. 5,460 administrators for fewer than 5,000 undergrads.

They built the cost structure of a growth company on top of a customer base that was mathematically guaranteed to shrink.

The split in this data tells you everything. Clemson, Syracuse, Duke, UNC, and Indiana are all cutting because the model broke. Alabama, Ole Miss, and the University of Florida are turning away more applicants than ever. Harvard gets five applications for every spot. The middle is where the cliff hits. Elite schools absorb demand. Everyone between elite and community college fights over a shrinking pool. The Fed published a study in December 2024 predicting 80 colleges will close in the next five years. Since 2016, over 100 already have. In 2024 alone, 28 shut down. One per week.

These program cuts and layoffs are a decade late. The birth rate data was sitting in Census spreadsheets the entire time. Everyone in higher education administration saw the enrollment cliff coming. They hired more administrators anyway.

VIDEO: Proof that the modern NBA is a joke!!! 🔥🔥

Here’s 5 of the 7 “blocks” from Victor Wembanyama in that first half. Every last one of them is a blatant uncalled goal-tend or foul…….

Hey @NBA— We want the same set of rules for BOTH teams!!

Minnesota acquired Quinn Hughes back in December, the biggest trade in franchise history.

Since then he has:

• set franchise season record in dman points, assists, and playoff points
• won Minnesota their first series since 2015
• won Gold at the 2026 Olympics

Quinnesota.

I love Jokic (and he's probably dropping 40 in game 5) but acting like there's some "code" that needs to be adhered to while doing stuff like THIS!?

All this is fine and crafty and part of the game, but a guy making a layup as the clock is expiring is the problem?

spare me

[Phil Mackey 🎙 @PhilMackey]

The Wolves have plenty of self-inflicted issues…

But this is embarrassing for the NBA.

Watch as Jamal Murray *obviously* extends + turns his feet to hunt for a flop.

This was called A FLAGRANT FOUL on Jaden McDaniels 😂😂

@MarneyGellner with a quick trip to fargo for voices of vision. Great job moderating! Arod said he’s bringing the wolves to the SHAC. Just making a note of that. Let’s go wolves!

If anyone can be a negative outlier, it’s the MN timberwolves

Elon Musk thinks the entire education system is built on a broken assumption.

That every student should learn the same thing. At the same speed. In the same order. At the same time.

Musk: “Everyone goes through from like 5th grade to 6th grade to 7th grade like it’s an assembly line. But people are not objects on an assembly line.”

The model was designed for a factory economy. Standardized inputs. Predictable outputs.

That economy is gone. The assembly line is gone.

But the education system still runs on its logic.

A student who masters algebra in two weeks sits through eight more weeks because the calendar says so. A student who struggles gets dragged forward because the schedule doesn’t wait.

Neither is being served. Both are being processed.

Musk: “Allow people to progress at the fastest pace that they can or are interested in, in each subject.”

AI doesn’t teach a classroom. It teaches a student.

One at a time. Every time.

It skips what a student already knows. It finds where they’re stuck and approaches it from a different angle.

It adjusts in real time. Not at the end of a semester when the damage is already done.

A student obsessed with basketball learns fractions through shooting percentages. A student who builds in Minecraft learns geometry through architecture.

The subject doesn’t change. The entry point does.

No teacher with thirty students can do this. Not because they lack skill.

Because the math doesn’t work.

AI doesn’t have that constraint.

Musk: “You do not need to tell your kid to play video games. They will play video games on autopilot all day. So if you can make it interactive and engaging, then you can make education far more compelling.”

The brain isn’t broken. The format is.

Kids learn complex systems and strategic thinking for hours voluntarily. Then walk into a classroom and can’t focus for twenty minutes.

That’s not a discipline problem. That’s a design problem.

Musk: “A university education is often unnecessary. You probably learn the vast majority of what you’re going to learn there in the first two years. And most of it is from your classmates.”

Four years. Six figures of debt.

And the real value comes from the people sitting next to you. Not the institution charging you.

The degree doesn’t certify knowledge. It certifies endurance.

Musk: “If the goal is to start a company, I would say no point in finishing college.”

The system was built to train employees. If you’re not trying to be one, it has nothing left to offer you.

Every lecture. Every textbook. Every curriculum. Now available instantly. Personalized to any learner. Adapted to any pace.

The question isn’t whether the old model survives.

It’s how long we keep forcing students through it while the replacement already exists.

Minnesota has one of the worst gaps between population growth and spending in the last decade.

Population grew 6%.

State spending grew 48%, inflation adjusted.

Again - where did all the money go?
