The amount of self-hate Americans have towards their own history is truly unreal.

They defeated slavery by fighting against their own family.
They shut Europe out of the western hemisphere so that nations wouldn't live under colonization forever.
They had the ability to stay out of world war 1 but they went and died to help Europeans.
They had the ultimate power in the nuclear bomb. They also had access to all of Europe's colonies that were in shambles. But instead they promoted freedom. They rebuilt Japan and Germany after defeating them in war. They stood down the Soviet Union, even as the world jeered them.
They sent soldiers to places like Vietnam and Afghanistan that died TRYING to create a better world (even if you disagree with those wars, the intentions were fairly good)
And they sent more missionaries to the world than maybe any other country in history. Translated more Bibles into indigenous languages than any other country in history. Ran bigger charities than any other country in history. Created more Christian resources than any other country in history.

Whether it was stopping the Dutch from reconquering Indonesia to the Berlin Airlift to giving Cuba its freedom in the Spanish-American war to saving China from the Japanese America has at least ATTEMPTED to do good with its power.

Yes yes, America has problems. People are imperfect. But goodness gracious does the world have a lot to be grateful for in America. And when we could have taken SO much from the world we have often chosen not to. Rome, Britain, Mongols, Assyrians, Soviets, Chinese, no other group has ever shown the restraint America has consistently shown with such vast power at its fingertips.

We didn't even get into the GIGANTIC technological advances, consumer advances, convenient lifestyle changes America has pioneered. From electricity to space to the light bulb to the smart phone to many cures in medicine and agriculture to the airplane the world has been enormously blessed by America.

Teddy Roosevelt did save football.

In 1905, college football was a brutal, deadly mess as 19 players died that season alone from crushing mass formations, flying wedges, and unchecked violence, sparking nationwide calls to ban the sport.

President Theodore Roosevelt, a passionate football fan who prized the “strenuous life,” stepped in. He summoned coaches and reps from Harvard, Yale, and Princeton to the White House, urging them to clean up the game without turning it “ladylike.”

His pressure helped spark radical 1906 rule changes: legalizing the forward pass, creating a neutral zone, requiring more men on the line, and doubling first-down distance to 10 yards. These reforms opened up the field, reduced pile-up carnage, and birthed the modern game, while also leading to the formation of what became the NCAA. Teddy didn’t just love football; he helped save it from extinction.

i’m no fan of RFK jr. but can we stop pretending that swapping out dyes like red 40 and yellow 5 for healthier options is some sort of travesty. america is so addicted to being fat.

Creed (2015) could have been another spin off, but Ryan Coogler turned it into a powerful legacy story. Stallone first refused to return as Rocky until Coogler’s pitch about his father convinced him, leading to one of Stallone’s finest performances.

The Kelce brothers accidentally explained one of the longest-running training mistakes in professional sports in under 30 seconds.

A pitcher's delivery takes 1.5 seconds. The rest period before the next pitch is roughly 20 seconds. A starter who throws 100 pitches in a game produces somewhere between 2 and 3 minutes of total physical exertion across a 3-hour window. The work-to-rest ratio is approximately 1:20.

That ratio maps almost perfectly to the ATP-CP energy system, the anaerobic pathway that powers movements lasting under 10 seconds. Sprinting. Jumping. Swinging a bat. Throwing a 97 mph fastball. Every meaningful action in baseball lives in this system.

Distance running trains the opposite system. Aerobic metabolism. Slow-twitch muscle fibers. Type I fibers that are smaller, produce less force, and prioritize fatigue resistance over power output. Elite sprinters carry 60-80% fast-twitch fibers. Elite endurance athletes carry 60-95% slow-twitch. A 2008 study on collegiate baseball players found that combining endurance training with power training produced measurable drops in power output.

You are literally remodeling the engine in the wrong direction. Training the aerobic system when every sport-specific action runs on anaerobic fuel.

The tradition started decades ago because games last 3 hours and coaches confused game duration with physical demand. A game lasting 3 hours does not mean the athlete is exerting for 3 hours. A pitcher standing on the mound between pitches is recovering, not working. The correct training analog is a sprinter who runs 100 meters, walks back, and goes again.

Driveline Baseball, Eric Cressey, and every major sports science program has been publishing this data for over a decade. Strength coaches at the MLB level largely moved to sprint-based and med ball protocols years ago. But the foul-pole-to-foul-pole jog still persists at the high school and college level because the coaches who played in the 90s trained that way and never updated.

The Kelces just explained it to 3 million people faster than any journal ever could.

20-Rep Breathing Squats

J.C. Hise gained nearly 100 pounds in two years using this routine.

Peary Rader, founder of Ironman Magazine and a self-described hard gainer, credits this routine with adding 100 pounds to his frame. Rader was the first to publish the 20-rep breathing-style squat routine. Breathing squats are done for 20 reps with a weight you would typically do for 10 repetitions. It is one all-out set! Each time you think you will fail, take 3–4 deep breaths and continue until you reach 20 reps. These sets should be a very painful and unpleasant experience.

Initially, this breathing technique may make the weight seem more difficult to lift; but over time, as you familiarize yourself with this technique, you will actually be able to lift more weight for more reps this way.

A massive degree of mental toughness is required to squat an all-out set of 20 reps to full depth. Your mind will want your body to stop at 12 reps; this is where you really challenge your psyche. The key is, focus on the next rep breath and block out the voice in your head urging you to quit.

Make sure each squat is executed with a full range of motion.

Here is the original 20-rep routine printed in Ironman Magazine in 1968:

✅Behind-the-Neck Press: 3 x 12

✅Squat: 1 x 20

✅Pull-Overs: 1 x 20

✅Bench Press: 3 x 12

✅Bent-Over Rows: 3 x 15

✅Stiff-Legged Deadlift: 1 x 15

✅Shrug: 1 x 15

✅Pull-Overs: 1 x 20

This routine would be performed two to three times a week, which would be a bit much for many trainees, especially without cycling in heavy, medium, and light days/exercises.

Over the last century many lifters have claimed to gain massive amounts of muscle with this routine.

In its genesis this routine was advocated with a very high-calorie diet and a gallon of whole milk a day. When you work out only a couple of hours a week and drink seven gallons of whole milk weekly, you will gain weight.

The Druski skit situation is funny to me. The skit is hilarious. People being offended need to grow up. BUT everyone defending the skit also needs to keep this same energy about aaalllllllll comedy. Don’t go crying next time a bit upsets you personally. If jokes shake you to your soul SO deeply, consider that you may be an emotionally underdeveloped human, not fit for this life. The world needs comedy ❤️

Harry spent seven entire books going after every other girl at Hogwarts while never expressing the slightest interest in Hermione. Harry literally has more chemistry with Myrtle the toilet ghost than he does with Hermione. But Ron was infatuated from the moment he laid eyes on her.

Did you not read “Goblet of Fire”? Ron was playing mind games with Hermione by not asking her to the Yule Ball and then Victor Krum asked her first, and she accepted, and Ron absolutely lost his mind.

Then Ron and Harry asked Parma and Parvati but completely ignored them at the dance because Harry was obsessed with Cho Chang and Ron was obsessed with Hermione.

The entire Black Lake challenge was about Harry and Ron being cucked, because Cedric was sent to rescue Cho, Krum was sent to rescue Hermione, and Ron had to be rescued and Harry had to rescue Ron.

Also, in “Order of the Phoenix,” Rita Skeeter wrote in the Daily Prophet that Hermione was Harry’s girlfriend and Harry was icked out while Ron was jealous and furious.

If you were shipping Harry with Hermione, that is your fault, because it was never once implied by the source material. Ron and Hermione ending up together is their whole seven-book arc.

future Day 3 pick for a 28yo who has usually been solid, if not spectacular. who has a tie to the DC and one of your big DTs. and who has no remaining guarantees on his deal.

that’ll play 🤝

Dallas now has the ability to bring on a legit LT in Decker and move Guyton to his natural side on the right side

Release Steele and get some cap back

That’d be a smart football move

57 seconds. This whole incident is tragic, but the sole reason it wasn’t worse was because APD officers responded and were on scene in seconds. Patrol officers and CAST (team of APD officers and ATCEMS paramedics together) moved with incredible speed to stop the killing. Our hearts go out to all those affected by this both victims and family.

The utterly amazing statistic in this all is that when seconds count - officers ran towards the gunfire and were there in 57seconds. That’s a heroic speed.

“I suppose if Sparta were to be deserted, and the temples and foundations of her public buildings all that remained, as time went by, posterity would be strongly disposed not to accept her fame as a true account of her power.”

Thucydides had you guys marked. Sparta was the preeminent power in Greece for 200 years. Their armies were almost undefeated in that time. Other Greeks wrote about them with fear and awe. Whenever a great general of the Greeks was needed, a Spartan was chosen.

Would you say Prussia was never powerful? Its heyday was shorter than Sparta’s. Would you judge Napoleon’s armies by France’s surrender in WW2? The Battle of Plataea and the Battle of Leuctra are about as far apart.

Sparta haters are universally people who I’d never trust on my right side in a shield wall. They’re motivated by a compulsive need to tear down the virtues the Spartans stand for in our collective unconscious: Courage, discipline, self-sacrifice, and defiance.
