Hawaii just enacted a law that effectively neuters Citizens United.
Montana could soon follow suit via a ballot referendum.
Here's what you should know about the plans to get Big Money out of politics — and how they could be replicated where you live.
Would highly recommend you watch David Foster Wallace talking about boredom, and why some people now find it so hard to read.
Sorely wish he were around today to hear his views on TikTok and the like.
@tferriss It is becoming harder to make and maintain in-person friendships today. So much happens online now, and between work and the cost of living, people are constantly on the move. Even if you truly value and prioritize friendships, they still slip away.
@Jonzeywriter Just read "A House that Refuses to be Haunted" on the Ellipsis website. Fantastic. And congrats on the Wigleaf top 50. I'll be delving into more of your work.
@austinkleon I miss real books, but the pages flopping over thing is a deal killer. Plus I love to highlight and annotate. And I love having my library with me wherever I go!

@jerryteixeira I think humans have always done this, but in most of our history our accumulated "belongings," if not stolen, rotted away quietly just as their memories faded from our mind. Nothing rots anymore.
@ThalinZar@lowcarbabode@Mark_Sisson I'm sure you can find it somewhere, but I've spent about a year in Italy over the past few years, and I assure you whole grain is way less common than in France and certainly in Germany.
@ThalinZar@lowcarbabode@Mark_Sisson Sorry, I'm a huge fan of rye bread! Italy makes fantastic bread of course, but I always wish they would make more whole grain versions like the Germans and even French do.
@ted_ryce Very few individuals rely on evidence for anything. They just follow the behavior of others in their circle and pretend to have understood and weighed all the relevant data themselves.
@DominicDAgosti2 Tracking post-prandial levels can be valuable as it's generally not used in screening, and truly high numbers can be an early red flag, even with normal fbg and HbA1c. Although a finger prick a couple times a week is just as good.
