The sleep "sweet spot" for biological aging isn't 8 hours per night.
6.4-7.8 hours was associated with the lowest biological age gaps across 23 organ-specific clocks including the brain, liver, pancreas, skin, and adipose tissue.
Short (<6 hours) and long (>8 hours) sleep were both associated with higher biological aging, but likely for different reasons.
Short sleep may directly cause aging, while long sleep may reflect underlying disease or pathology - something that causes someone to require more sleep due to fatigue, recovery, or poor sleep quality.

No, it’s not the “feminisation” of WoW that ruined Warcraft. It’s the “disneyfication”.
As a girl who grew up with this game, I observed a deeply feminine side to WoW from vanilla which made the world deeper and more interesting for all players.
It was something that harmonised with the grit, darkness and the epic fantasy adventure that was Warcraft.
The modern aesthetic isn’t dividing the playerbase due to the game being inherently more “girly” or feminine”.
It’s happening because they moved away from the things that made it authentically “Warcraft” and traded their identity in favor of a kind of cartoon theme park aesthetic. In some places, remnants of older WoW linger, but in others, its original essence has eroded beyond recognition.
It doesn’t mean that the game is bad - it still has a dedicated playerbase. However, the reality is, it’s different now.
At this point, a lot of what made WoW truly “Warcraft” can only be revisited in earlier versions of the game.
You don’t hate the corporate press enough.
The game is obvious. Obfuscate and play the blame game by insinuating how the victim brought it upon himself.
It’s also a lie. The people responsible for creating the most toxic and intolerant campus culture that punished all sorts of views outside the narrow orthodoxy, was NOT Charlie Kirk. It wasn’t @TPUSA. It wasn’t the conservatives.
It was left-leaning administrators, faculty and students. Did we forget what happened at Evergreen? Yale? Oberlin?
Is the NYT trying to memory hole the Cultutal Revolution that plagued higher education over the last few years and blame… Charlie Kirk for that?
In fact, the opposite of this headline is true:
Charlie Kirk was trying to fix campus culture, not destroy it.
It’s because the left enjoyed cultural and institutional hegemony over the last decade. By refusing to debate, it helped to enthrone their ideological superiority.
Remember they had full control of the institutional stack. We are talking an end-to-end self-credentialing and consensus manufacturing loop.
It’s why Ibram X. Kendi refused to debate Coleman Hughes despite a significant sum of charity money on the table.
Any liberal who engaged with the other side (such as Bill Maher) was constantly pilloried for not observing ideological purity.
It was a way to gatekeep and ensure they could continue to masquerade completely mainstream views as “fringe.” It was successful.
