“Born on 3rd base- thought he hit a triple.” He was a useful conduit for influence payoffs for decades, now there is no more influence to pedal.

For fifty years the world's obesity advice has come down to one phrase. Eat less. Move more.
A Harvard pediatric endocrinologist named David Ludwig spent twenty years showing it was the wrong answer.
Ludwig directs the New Balance Foundation Obesity Prevention Center at Boston Children's Hospital. He is a professor at both Harvard Medical School and the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. He has spent his career treating the most obese children in New England.
The standard playbook was not working. The kids cut calories. They tried harder. They came back heavier.
So Ludwig started asking a different question. What if the calorie was not the lever.
He built what he calls the carbohydrate-insulin model.
Refined carbs spike your insulin. Insulin tells your body to store fat. After the spike your blood sugar crashes. Your body interprets the crash as starvation. You get hungry again. You eat. You store more fat. You crash again.
It is a feedback loop. And the loop runs on the carbohydrate, not the calorie.
In November 2018 his team published the result in the British Medical Journal.
164 adults. 12 percent body-weight loss on a run-in diet. Then randomly assigned to high-carb, moderate-carb, or low-carb at calorie levels designed to maintain their new weight.
For twenty weeks straight.
The low-carb group burned over 200 extra calories per day at the same body weight as the high-carb group. The effect was larger in participants with the highest insulin secretion.
Read that again.
Same body weight. Same maintenance calories. The low-carb body was running 200 calories per day hotter.
That number ends every "a calorie is a calorie" debate the moment you read it.
Ludwig is not a fringe figure. He is the most credentialed voice in nutrition science quietly dismantling the orthodoxy from the inside.
His 2016 book Always Hungry has been on the New York Times bestseller list. His 2021 paper in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition formalized the model into a unified theory of obesity.
The standard advice is not just wrong. It is the wrong question.
Eat less and move more is what you say when you do not understand the disease.

California is going to take 37 days to count 9 million mail in ballots with 0 of the voters showing ID.
This is totally fine with John Thune.
Think about that.
JUST IN: Scientists say AI has decoded communication patterns in mice, dolphins, apes, birds, whales, & cuttlefish — could eventually lead to humans communicating directly with animals.
Would everybody outside of California please stop thinking that we actually vote for these retards. Our elections have been rigged for decades. If you are red in California, your vote doesn’t count.
@amitisinvesting I learned my lesson with the CAVA IPO lockup expiration. I read posts across X - Reddit talking about the flood of shares hitting the market at the six month mark. CAVA dropped from $40>$30. On the 6 month exp, CAVA exploded from $30>50 in about 7-10 trading days.
@TheTechInvest $IREN already had its pullback. It was 50% off of its high at $30-$32 in March 2026. Good concept of a watchlist, but I wouldn’t bet on another opportunity <$40. My only regret is buying shares instead of Jan 2027 calls.
@joeroganhq Why is anyone still talking to or publicizing this douchecanoe for anything other than comic relief. Nevermind, I want to see a documentary about his art career. Let him explain his methods and philosophy.
@markkaplan20@ProfTimNoakes If you wanna kick off a family Thanksgiving fight, announce that Diabetes mellitus is the disease “you volunteer for.”
Ask me how I know.
@Lily4Liberty I’m sure a large portion are legacy admissions. Any non-legacy admissions would need a phone confirmation by the HS guidance counselor of their parents’ proximity to DC power structure.
UPDATE:
Nasdaq at 875 trading days after the release of Netscape on 12/19/94: +144.55%.
Nasdaq at 875 trading days after the release of ChatGPT on 11/30/22: +144.77%.
Past performance is no guarantee of future results!
@unusual_whales He juiced the market enough with that announcement. He’ll hold back his announcement until the S&P 500 is down 1%.
Check the Axios story and where the SP500 was trading when it broke.
Today, we remember a legend.
On this day in history, Harambe would have celebrated another birthday. An icon that became part of internet history, American culture, and an entire generation’s timeline.
Tomorrow marks 10 years since we lost him. Ten years since the moment the world stopped scrolling and collectively mourned something bigger than a meme.
He became a symbol of loyalty, strength, chaos, unity, and the strange beauty of the internet bringing millions of people together for one cause: never forgetting Harambe.
Everyone remembers where they were when they heard the news. And somehow, a decade later, his legacy still lives on.
Gone, but never forgotten.
Rest easy to a true patriot. 🕊️🇺🇸

Forever in our hearts.
University of California STEM professors want standardized tests back due to severe math deficiencies among students:
“We now observe preparation gaps so severe that instructors must reteach middle school mathematics”
“The current admissions metric, based primarily on GPA & essays, can no longer reliably distinguish readiness for university-level STEM majors in an era of severe grade inflation & AI assisted application essays”
It’s imperative that we revert to STANDARD, not Daylight time, for two reasons, one of which you may have never considered.
You know the first: solar noon is closest to 12 o’clock all year. That means an equal number of hours before and after noon each day.
This also means earlier sunrises which are significantly better for establishing a healthy circadian rhythm.
The second reason is that nearly ONE THIRD of US counties are in the wrong timezone.
A significant swath of the country isn’t only an artificial hour ahead because of daylight time… but TWO HOURS ahead of true solar time.
Year-round daylight time, especially without recalibrating time zones, would establish this error permanently, affecting millions of Americans.
We should be letting the Sun dictate the day the way God made it. Arbitrary, artificial tampering would be worse for us all.
Fix the time zones and affix standard time.
