Most people think they are tired in the afternoon. Their body is actually dehydrated.

A 1 to 2% drop in body water impairs cognitive performance measurably before you feel thirst.

The most common afternoon symptoms of dehydration:
- Brain fog and difficulty concentrating
- Low energy that does not respond to rest
- Headache that appears mid-afternoon
- Irritability without a clear cause

Drink 12oz of water with a pinch of sea salt right now before you reach for caffeine.

Address the cause, not the symptom.

A grocery store CEO was fired for being “too good” to his employees. In response, 25,000 workers across 71 stores emptied the shelves and refused to work until the board brought him back. Within six weeks, sales had plunged 95%.

Imagine having a boss who cares so much about his employees that the entire workforce shuts everything down just to get him back...

The viral story refers to Arthur T. Demoulas, CEO of Market Basket. In 2014, he was fired by the board during a power struggle over employee benefits and profit-sharing. In response, 25,000 non-union workers and loyal customers launched a six-week protest and boycott. Shelves emptied across 71 stores and sales plunged by about 90%, eventually forcing the board to let Demoulas buy back the company.

THE OP IN TURKEY

As someone who carried the nuclear football and oversaw White House military operations, I can personally tell you this AF1 decoy operation was textbook high-threat contingency planning.

Credible Iranian assassination threat → POTUS boards the legacy 747 in full view of cameras → slips out the far side into a catering truck → transfers to the C-32A while the jumbo jet flies as a decoy with press and staff aboard who thought he was with them.

Slick. Professional. Exactly how these things are supposed to work when the threat is real. Follow the plan.

The only people who should be upset are the ones who leaked highly sensitive operational details.

That compromise endangers future missions and the President himself. @PeteHegseth needs to hunt that down hard.

Protecting the Commander-in-Chief isn’t optional, regardless of political views. I worked for Clinton just as hard.

Well done to the teams that executed this. Shame on those who jeopardized his life for political favor. 🇺🇸

1893: Fridtjof Nansen sails a ship into the Arctic pack ice and deliberately lets it freeze solid, because he has worked out that the ice itself is a current and intends to ride it across the top of the world.

The Fram locks in on 22 September and the drift begins.

1895: the drift is not going to reach the Pole. So on 14 March, Nansen and Hjalmar Johansen step off the ship with dogs, sledges and two kayaks and set out to walk there.

On 8 April they turn back at 86°14′ north. Further than any human being has ever been, and not far enough. Behind them the ship has gone, ahead of them there is no land for hundreds of miles, and the provisions are finite.

They walk south for four months across shifting ice and open water. On 6 August they reach an island, the first ground either man has stood on in two years.

Then the food runs out entirely, and that is where the story actually starts.

They build a hut. Stone walls, a driftwood ridge pole, a roof of walrus hides. They move in on 26 August 1895 and they do not leave until 19 May 1896. Two men, one greasy sleeping bag, nine months of Arctic winter.

They live on polar bear and walrus. That is the whole diet. Bear meat fried in walrus blubber, bear broth, blubber burned in a lamp to cook the next lot. No flour. No vegetables. No fruit. No supplements. Nothing green enters that hut for the better part of a year.

They should have been dead by Christmas.

Every naval authority in Europe in 1895 knows what happens to men in the far north with no fresh vegetables. Scurvy is the thing that empties ships. It killed more sailors than every enemy combined, and the entire Royal Navy's provisioning doctrine is built on stopping it.

They walk out of that hut in May with their teeth in their heads.

On 17 June 1896 they meet Frederick Jackson on Northbrook Island, and Jackson does not recognise the man in front of him. Nansen is filthy, black with soot and blubber grease, hair to his shoulders. He is also, after nine months on nothing but bear and fat, in good health.

Now sit with the timing.

Vitamin C did not exist as a concept. Nobody isolated it until 1928. Nansen could not have told you why he was fine, because the word had not been invented yet. He had learned the method from Inuit hunters in Greenland in 1888 and he simply copied them: eat the fresh kill, eat the fat first, do not cook the life out of it.

The knowledge was available. Every Arctic people on earth had it. Nansen brought it home in his own body and published it, and Europe carried on believing that men need plants or they rot.

Sixteen years later Scott's men would die on the way back from the Pole, hauling their own sledges, eating from tins.

Modern polar expeditions still run on fat. Nobody crossing an ice cap is eating salad. The bodies of the men who do it are fuelled the way Nansen's was, because the alternative does not work and everybody in that field knows it.

We accept it as true at 86 degrees north and dispute it in a kitchen in Cheshire.

Nansen died in 1930, at 68, with a Nobel Peace Prize on the shelf for feeding starving people after a war.

He spent nine months proving what a human being can run on, and the profession that should have been most interested filed it under exploration.

“Failed” means the oil extracted from the finished product was inconsistent with pure avocado oil, suggesting substitution or blending with lower-cost oils such as canola, safflower, or soybean.

It does not, on its own, prove Chosen Foods knowingly adulterated products. Consumers deserve additional testing and fixing the supply chain.

Credit to UC Davis for the testing.

A kid on my street set up a stand. Not lemonade. A cardboard sign: FREE ADVICE.

He was maybe seven. He had a folding chair and a jar of pencils, in case of paperwork.

I stopped. A samurai does not pass a free consultation.

"I will take one advice," I said.

"Shoot."

"How does a man know when he is home?"

He did not hesitate. "When the dog's happy to see you."

I stood very still. Eight hundred years of my family asking that question, and a seven-year-old answered it in four words while picking his nose.

"That'll be twenty-five cents," he said.

"The sign says free."

"You got the free one. That was the free one. The dog one is premium."

I paid the twenty-five cents. I would have paid a horse.

That night I called my mother. No reason. In my family we do not call with no reason, so she answered already braced for death.

We talked for an hour about nothing. Her neighbor's tomatoes. A drama she watches. The rain.

She was happy. I could hear it. She kept finding new nothings to say so I would not hang up.

The kid was right.

Home is where someone's happy you called.

I owe that kid twenty-five more cents. I have been going back every Saturday.

His rates are insane. I pay them.

When you see your bank account 😀

[Paula Pant @AffordAnything]

Let's lay out the math:

You own an NYC apartment that's been occupied by the same tenant for 30 years. It's rent-stabilized, so the tenant is paying substantially under market rate.

The tenant moves out / passes away, and legally, you're required to invest $100k into lead abatement, wiring, asbestos, etc., to bring the unit to code before you re-lease it to the next tenant.

But because of a 2019 law called the HSTPA (Housing Stability and Tenant Protection Act), you can't raise the rent enough to cover the renovation costs.

You go to the bank to ask for a renovation loan. They say, "Can you pay it back?" You say, honestly, "No." They say "Denied," as they should.

Your only other option would be to pay cash out-of-pocket if you happen to have that kind of money laying around.

Your financial advisor says, "Why wouldn't you just put that money into T-bills, or TIPS, or long-term Treasuries? Or heck, even a high-yield savings account? Or a CD?"

You run the math and realize all of the above would pay a higher return.

So it doesn't make sense to pay cash. You can't get approved for a loan. And you can't legally rent out the apartment without doing this renovation work.

So you leave the apartment vacant.

There are 57,421 rent-stabilized vacant units in NYC, according to the latest data, which was released in June 2026.

That's about a 16.18% increase over the previous year, when NYC had 49,426 vacant units.

That trend line is worrying. And it's about to get worse.
