car dependency is sneakly a top cause of the obesity epidemic imo

If you are lucky enough to live in a walkable place, and you then walk with someone who doesn't...it can be really shocking to see how unaccustomed they are to it and how little stamina they have for this primal human activity.

Automobile dependence erodes public health in many ways: blunt force trauma (#1 cause for children and young adults), air pollution (CVD, asthma), noise pollution (QoL, dementia) but perhaps the most pernicious is that it has almost completely displaced walking. www.sciencedaily.com/releases/201...

Trump: Hannibal Lecter. He’s having a friend for dinner. Arnold Palmer had a huge schlong.

Press: Today at a packed rally in battleground Pennsylvania, former president trump outlined his commonsense proposals to secure the southern border

Donald Trump has lost nearly 10% of voters—almost 20% of his support—since his election last year. He’s done so largely because he’s pursued the policies he ran on, and most people hate them.

Who is at fault for voters not understanding what he ran on? I’d say the press is largely culpable.

Truly hilarious. Insofar as trump had any coherent campaign platform it was to do tariffs

Bloomberg with a Sunday Scaries: Schadenfreud piece.
"I've learned to cope with stress over the years," says Richard Steinberg, "but at 4 o'clock in the morning, I'm up awake thinking about these things." At Focus Partners Wealth in Boca Raton, where Steinberg is a senior wealth adviser, the calls from worried clients keep coming, he says. He tries to calm them down but acknowledges he himself is frustrated - "very frustrated" - by Trump's approach. "It lacks a level of sophistication." Over in midtown Manhattan, Jay Hatfield, the CEO of Infrastructure Capital Advisors, was feeling much the same, just with a large dose of anger mixed in. "This is unambiguously stupid." He calls the big tariff chart that Trump brandished at the ceremony that day "the chart of death," and when he saw it, told himself to check his anger and just focus on unloading risky assets. By the end of Friday, he had cut about 40% of them from the mutual funds he manages. The selloff was the culmination of weeks Wall Street spent trying to game how seriously to take Trump's threats. Analyst Andrew Bishop of Signum Global Advisors wrote that there's been more than 20 separate tariff announcements already, with most never happening. Then came the 11% equity plunge over Thursday and Friday. Either the time for debate had passed, Wall Street decided, or the damage from all the saber rattling was already too great to turn back. Hatfield directs most of his anger at Bessent, who, as he sees it, failed to steer Trump away from a major policy mistake. "I thought he was better than this," Hatfield said. "It's very disappointing." "Investors can appreciate President Trump's long-term objectives of trying to bring back manufacturing to the US, of trying to raise revenue to offset potential tax cuts, and to protect industries that are valued for national-security reasons," said Evan Brown, head of multi-asset strategy at UBS Asset Management, in an interview. "But at the same time, there's also an appreciation that there's going to be a lot of pain involved in this. Pain for markets, pain for consumers, pain for businesses in this country." Many market pros, like Peter Tchir, had been excited for Trump's return. The head of macro strategy at Academy Securities, Tchir wanted red tape cut, strategic industries defended and markets pushed up. Of particular interest was Trump's "drill, baby, drill" plan for oil companies, an approach that led Tchir to nudge clients toward energy companies. That's blown up in his face as the plunge in crude has made drillers some of the hardest-hit stocks. Top names in the US shale patch like Diamondback Energy Inc., Devon Energy Corp. and APA Corp. all posted declines in recent trading days of more than 20%. "I had to fade all that and got stuck here," Tchir said. "Everyone's living in a very stressful world where you can't afford to go to the bathroom because who knows what's going to happen."

Here’s a question I have @chrislhayes.bsky.social. Why is american political influence so *undervalued*? Musk spent ~$300M on 2024 election. Less than $1 billion! For control of the free world!

Crypto scammers have bought off the entire Republican party and a huge chunk of the Dems. Honestly "in bed with crypto" vs "not in bed with crypto" is as important a split in the Dem caucus now as moderate vs progressive is.

Crypto is poised to secure major legislative wins after years of frustration. Kirsten Gillibrand, the newly minted Senate Dem campaign chair, is a big reason why.
"Without her, it doesn't happen," said longtime partner Cynthia Lummis.

Americans will go on vacation to a place that isn’t a car sewer, walk and take public transit for 8-12 hrs. a day, notice a change in their health, and attribute it to “they must not have the Illuminati chemicals here”

Ainsley Earhardt makes a case for RFK Jr: "When you go to Europe, the food is delicious. It's so fresh. And you don't gain weight if you eat a big bowl of pasta. So we want that to come here to America."
