Jennifer Garner is 54 and just overhauled her training.
After years of chasing strength, she realised she'd ignored the one thing that actually predicts how long you live.
Here's what she changed, and the full routine behind it:
After years of chasing strength, she realised she'd ignored the one thing that actually predicts how long you live.
Here's what she changed, and the full routine behind it:
The fix was mobility.
She'd built serious strength and stamina but let her range of motion go. So recently she added yoga and gyrotonics, the low-impact work she'd skipped for years.

Here's why that matters.
Sit on the floor, then stand up using as little support as you can. Across 2,002 adults, every point on that sit-to-rise test meant 21% better survival odds.
Mobility is one of the clearest predictors of how long you'll live.

This manpower sweep problem is actually a lot worse for the Russians than Western military intelligence is capable of giving credit.
It takes a Russian labor gang about 3 hours to load 16 tons of wooden boxes w/o a convenient box car to truck line up. (below upper right)

Because the Russian Army doesn't use pallets, forklifts, telehandlers nor D-rings anywhere in their supply chain to strap down pallet loads.
You need massive numbers of conscripts to load and unload from train cars to trucks & vice versa.

This has a whole lot of knock on effects in how the non-mechanized Russian supply system works in the age of GMLRS & drones.

Jew Hate frequently spikes during times of profound societal stress, economic collapse, or political instability. When a society or civilization begins to fracture, its leaders or populace often seek a unifying scapegoat to blame for their complex problems.
Because Jewish communities have historically existed as a distinct minority within various empires and nations (from ancient Rome to medieval Europe to 20th-century Germany), they have repeatedly been cast into this role.
Mainstream scholars of Jew Hate, i.e. historian Robert Wistrich, call it "the longest hatred." It operates less like a comprehensive conspiracy theory that adapts to every era. In religious eras, framed as theological; in era of nationalism, framed as racial or political.

Now, the only argument that remains is how can this right of citizenship be protected. How can we make sure the vote is limited to citizens?
We can do that in two ways.

🧵Leftist, progressive lawyers are fleeing the Trump administration in large numbers.
According to the NYT, more than 10,000 have left federal agencies since the beginning of 2025, according to a New York Times analysis.
The federal government has lost an incredible 17% of its civilian lawyers in just 15 months. Bwuhahahahahaha!
This isn’t random attrition. It’s a self-revelation. 🧵

2/ The numbers are stark.
The Department of Education lost more than half its lawyers. The Departments of Housing and Urban Development, Labor, Energy, and Agriculture all saw steep declines. DOJ is down 24%.
The Deep State saboteurs are leaving. Trump is getting to replace them. But he's hiring fewer.
Despite agencies hiring about 3,200 lawyers during this period, departures still vastly outpaced recruitment.

3/ There's one major exception.
The Department of Homeland Security increased its legal staff by 21% as the administration ramped up immigration enforcement.
The agencies most focused on Trump’s core priorities — border security and reducing regulatory overreach — are either holding steady or growing.
The ones most aligned with the old administrative state are emptying out.

High cortisol is aging you faster than drinking and partying
It also kills memory, makes you snap at people you love, and shrinks your hippocampus.
Here are 7 ways to reduce high cortisol:
1. Sunlight on skin in the first 30 minutes.

Here are 7 ways to reduce high cortisol:
1. Sunlight on skin in the first 30 minutes.
Cortisol naturally spikes 30-60 min after waking to fuel the day.
Without morning light, the spike never crashes. It stays elevated by 2 PM.
Your brain is bathing in cortisol it should've cleared hours ago.
That's not "tired." That's a flat curve.

2. 10-minute walk before you open a single screen.
Movement + light + no inputs = your nervous system calibrates BEFORE the day floods it.
The first 30 minutes set the curve. Walking sets it low.
Slack sets it high.
The cheapest mood reset you'll ever do

🧵Is Scott Bessent working to crash the yuan?
He helped break the Bank of England in 1992. Now Trump’s Treasury Secretary is using that experience against China — and Beijing should be terrified.

2/ In 1992, Scott Bessent was part of the Soros team that broke the pound.
Britain was defending an exchange rate reality no longer supported. The speculators attacked. The Bank of England lost.
Trump watched. He learned the lesson.
Governments don’t lose currencies because traders are clever. They lose them because they defend lies too long.

3/ Bessent recently described China’s economy as the most imbalanced in modern history.
Trapped in deflation. Desperately trying to export its way out. Its own people don’t trust the yuan — they want their money out, but the CCP won’t let them.
Bessent's words aren't normal economic commentary. They're a lesson in the anatomy of a currency regime under terminal pressure.

Symptoms that are unusual in migraine
🔴Drowsiness during headaches
🔴Presence of double vision, weakness of one side of face, arm or leg
🔴Headache that is described as the most severe headache of lifetime
These symptoms, if present, make the doctor look for alternative causes of headaches.

Here's a simple lesson in game finance. Assume the same team could make a sequel (in 2 years) and it sold just as well (unlikely due to innovation problem), it quickly (by the first sequel!) becomes an unattractive investment assuming flat sales but inflation cost increases.1/x
Because costs keep growing, each release needs to either:
1. Grow their player base (to sell more units)
2. Charge more for each copy (to net more revenue)
3. Achieve higher average price (to net more revenue)
4. Monetize post launch (DLC / MTX) better

Whomever is funding the project (publisher, investor etc.) has a minimum return they expect, which is totally rational.
"Keep making the same investment but make less and less profit each time" is not sensible, especially when they have alternative investments they can make. 3/x
