We all gotta go for more walks
“Those who logged 5,000+ daily steps were less likely to experience depressive symptoms, with the greatest effect coming for those who logged 7,500+ steps a day — they were 42% less likely to suffer depressive symptoms.”
Feeling down? Taking a walk could help. The more steps we take, the less likely we are to feel depressed, new research shows. www.npr.org/sections/sho... via @npr.org #exercise🚶 #MentalHealth

Twitter is useless as a "public square" because Elon Musk has control over everyone's volume. He mutes the people and topics he doesn't like and amplifies the ones he does.
In that sort of environment, trying to convince other people using facts is just wasted energy.
