a joke I cut from CNN roast for time in the "news mainstream media will never cover" section: The boy scouts of america re-named itself "Scouting America." You know who else changed its name? Sean Combs. How about you guys just get rid of the creeps? You’re not getting sued cause of your clunky name. You got rid of the "Boy" part? So you molest girls now too? Scouting America? What are you scouting America for, little boys? Naming Boy Scouts Scouting America would be like changing the title of ‘School Crossing Guard’ to ‘Child Trafficker.’
I had a super long list of “things the mainstream media won’t cover” but only included ones I super duper was able to fact check! Thanks for everyone on X who sent me some when I asked in a post yesterday ❤️🫡
@AllyCare I called @allybank already, I escalated. I spoke to Daniel not more than 2 hours ago. #allybank cited that it was @Mastercard the transaction provider had declined the transaction which prohibited me from spending my money with @StickMobility
@Mastercard Why do you have a Fraud suspicion hold for @StickMobility preventing me from buying their goods, with my money? @allybank States the fraud hold is coming from #MasterCard identifying https://t.co/fBvZVFhULN as suspicious Fraud concern. #allybank
A privilege to rep a “cause with my kicks” each year
National Athletic Trainer’s Assoc (NATA) is who we rep as ATs, licensed medical professionals, & first responders!
Proud to be an AT & proud to be a Texan!!! 🤘🏽

Osteoarthritis is poorly understood... and often managed even more poorly.
Osteoarthritis is the gradual loss of cartilage or cushioning on the ends of our bones. The cartilage cushions the forces of weight bearing and provides a near frictionless interface between the bones of our joints.
Inflammation often follows the loss of cartilage. Knees with more inflammation and swelling have more pain than dry knees.
Cartilage breakdown can begin for many reasons. Contrary to popular thought, cartilage does have complex repair mechanisms in place. But genetics, prior trauma, or surgery can upset those processes. When these processes go awry, cartilage loss can result.
The severity of the arthritis is based on how it impacts your life--- not necessarily by the appearance of your X-ray. I know people who run on bone-on-bone arthritis... yet I know others who are crippled by far more mild osteoarthritis.
Therefore, I usually do not allow the X-ray's appearance alone to define the severity. Why? Because remaining active with an arthritic joint will often enable you to keep that joint longer than someone who is far more sedentary.
This is the reason why telling people to stop moving, stop exercising, or even stop running after they're diagnosed with osteoarthritis is poor advice.
Our overall health and well-being also affect the onset and progression of osteoarthritis. People with big bellies, type 2 diabetes, pre-diabetes, fatty liver, and so on have a high degree of systemic inflammation. Osteoarthritis is more common in this group; it is typically associated with more swelling and pain, and it will progress faster.
Those inflammatory mediators make their way into our joint fluid. A complex series of interactions with macrophages and other cells in our joints can initiate or accelerate the arthritic process and increase the amount of inflammation (and pain) in our joints.
Our joints are not as fragile as you might think. Even after they've become arthritic, our joints will treat us better if we treat our whole body better and maintain our mobility and strength.
A recent paper on GLP-1 medications in the management of people with obesity and osteoarthritis shows that pain scores drop significantly over time and that improvement is sustained. Interestingly, the pain can improve before the dramatic weight loss. GLP1 medications are well known for their ability to "fix" metabolic dysfunction and improve metabolic health.
There's still much more to learn about osteoarthritis. But one thing is sure: the healthier and more active you are with your arthritic joint, the longer you are likely to keep that natural joint.
Genetics should have been listed in the graphic... my bad.
Thanks @michaelpollan! I'd love to work with you to restore our public health agencies to their rich tradition of gold-standard, evidence-based science and Make America Healthy Again.
Thanks Senator @CoryBooker for your long history of leadership on this issue. You have been a champion, particularly against the systematic poisoning of Black and Hispanic Americans with processed and chemically laden foods through the SNAP and school lunch programs. Let's work together to end this.
Training Acceleration vs. Training Top Speed
Here is a visual that may help w/ what I’ve been talking about w/ some examples
1. Heavy forward throws vs. lighter overhead
2. Short sprints vs. longer/“flying,” sprints
3. Forward bounds vs. vertical
4. Heavy vs “dynamic,” lifts
