@MisterLeeHODL Good eating. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This stretch should be mandatory for desk workers:

It's called the Asian Squat.

This exercise is a signal of ankle, knee, hip mobility, and leg strength, strongly correlating to independence, fall risk, and longevity as you get older.

If you can hold this squat for a minute or more, you've got healthy hips and ankles.

If you can't start by holding onto a pillar and gently lowering yourself into a squat position.

Aim for 3–5 total minutes per day in short holds (30–60 seconds) and build up from there

"Robert Putnam warned that Americans were bowling alone, many of us are now typing alone. To ensure that work remains a source of connection, we must change not only where we work, but how we work, so that our jobs continue to bring us together." https://t.co/f4f3hQNhkE

We’re cooked until we have leaders that don’t make half of the country feel like the other half is their enemy.

#OnThisDay June 9 1894: The SS "North West", built for James J. Hill’s Northern Steamship Company, arrives in Duluth on its maiden voyage. Designed to connect Hill's rail empire from Minnesota to Buffalo NY, the North West featured lavish Gilded Age accommodation.

Connecting young people to digital networks serves no purpose if they remain disconnected from themselves, others, and their own interiority. We must help young people rediscover silence, reflection, the ability to ask questions, the depth of relationships, and openness to transcendence. To listen to the soul, we must lend an ear, because the soul's voice is not a shout, but a whisper.

In the Stormlight Archives, there is a character (a king) who magically wakes up each day with a random intelligence level.

His caretakers test him in the morning to determine whether he’s capable of leading his country that day or is basically just given crayons.

Japanese engineers developed a “Sword Tip Visualization System” for the Fencing World Championships, and it makes fencing look absolutely incredible to watch.

We like to think we’re in control—until nature decides otherwise.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

When simulation becomes the norm, it weakens the human capacity for discernment. As a result, our social bonds close in upon themselves, forming self-referential circuits that no longer expose us to reality. We thus come to live within bubbles, impermeable to one another. Feeling threatened by anyone who is different, we grow unaccustomed to encounter and dialogue. In this way, polarization, conflict, fear and violence spread. What is at stake is not merely the risk of error, but a transformation in our very relationship with truth.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

God does not bless any conflict. Anyone who is a disciple of Christ, the Prince of Peace, is never on the side of those who once wielded the sword and today drop bombs. Military action will not create space for freedom or times of #Peace, which comes only from the patient promotion of coexistence and dialogue among peoples.

"Ramble On" is 56 years old and Robert Plant just walked onto The Late Show and made it sound like he wrote it this morning.
