I feel completely unrepresented by current politics. On the left -- taxation, anti growth, envy, etc. On the right -- UFC at the White House, anti science, etc Both -- division. When do we get vision, logic, individual liberty?

The Cleveland Clinic has agreed to end youth transgender care and has committed millions of dollars for detransition care.

When did politicians stop trying to be likable? And why? 🤔

parents of older kids always be saying “I’d give anything for another day with my kids when they were little”. It’s always a day. Never a month or a year. Never even a week. 🤔

James Stockdale spent seven and a half years in the Hanoi Hilton. He was tortured fifteen times. He disfigured his own face with a razor so the North Vietnamese could not use him for propaganda. He built a tap code that turned solitary confinement into a network. Prisoners who could not see each other kept their sanity through the walls. Stockdale was a Navy commander when captured. He became the highest-ranking American prisoner of war in Vietnam. That rank made him a target. The North Vietnamese wanted him to sign confessions. They wanted propaganda broadcasts. They wanted him on camera endorsing statements against the American war effort. Stockdale refused every request. The refusal cost him. He endured physical coercion fifteen times. Rope bindings, beatings, and painful positions left permanent damage to his legs. He spent four years in solitary confinement. Two years were in leg irons. When guards said he would be paraded before journalists, he went to his cell. He used a razor to slash his scalp. He beat his face with a wooden stool. Swelling and bruising made him unfilmable. The guards found him bloodied and abandoned the plan. On another occasion, when guards threatened to harm other prisoners if he did not comply, he broke a window and cut his wrists. It was not surrender. It was a signal he would rather die than comply. The guards treated him and reduced their demands. Stockdale’s greatest achievement was building a community inside the prison. He developed a tap code using a five-by-five grid of the alphabet. Each letter corresponded to its row and column, tapped in two sequences. Messages traveled through walls, under doors, and between buildings. Prisoners who could not see each other communicated. They shared news, jokes, and orders. Stockdale passed commands down the chain and received information back. The tap code gave structure, leadership, and the knowledge they were not alone. He established rules: resist as best as possible. Do not volunteer information. Recover after every interrogation. The rules gave broken men a framework to regain dignity. Resilience, not perfection, was the goal. Stockdale was released on February 12, 1973. He walked out of Hoa Lo with permanent leg injuries. He was awarded the Medal of Honor. He said, “You must never confuse faith that you will prevail in the end with the discipline to confront the most brutal facts of your current reality.”

Does the girl get naked in Obsession or can I disregard the entire film

Elder Millennial weddings be like "come celebrate the start of their life together". You're both 38, it's not starting, it's already over.

Refused to obey simple rules like everyone else. Became belligerent when told rules apply to him too. What a shock.

Imagine having a significant role in a move as great as The Verdict, but when you die at 85 they lead your obit with a pile of shit like Top Gun: Maverick.

Yooooo

I’d like to get off this ride now.

If you think healthcare is expensive now, just wait until it is free.

a CIA officer stole 300 gold bars worth $40M, lied about his background, and took 744 hours of PTO. he worked at the CIA for 2 decades you can just do things <3

If you live in New England, do not do this.

A GP just publicly disclosed taking off-label tirzepatide. The part worth reading is not the disclosure. @BradStanfieldMD, 34, lean, no diabetes, no established heart disease. No trial studied him. He knows this and says so explicitly. What he actually walks through is the evidence arc that most people missed: SELECT enrolled 17,604 adults without diabetes and cut major cardiovascular events by 20%. A chunk of that benefit did not track with weight loss. FLOW enrolled patients with type 2 diabetes and chronic kidney disease. Semaglutide cut the kidney composite by 24%, and the authors stated the kidney effect was independent of weight reduction. The drug is doing something beyond moving the number on a scale. Then SURPASS-CVOT: 13,000 patients, tirzepatide vs dulaglutide, four years. The primary three-point cardiovascular endpoint: tirzepatide cleared the non-inferiority bar but missed the pre-specified superiority threshold. By their own pre-registered rules, a miss. Stanfield names this correctly. He does not bury it. The post-hoc six-component analysis in JAMA Cardiology 2026 showed 16% relative risk reduction vs dulaglutide. Hypothesis-generating. Not a clean win. His reasoning for tirzepatide over retatrutide is worth noting: glucagon agonism raises metabolic rate and resting heart rate. For an obesity drug at population scale, useful. For a lean GP trying to preserve muscle mass, the wrong direction. That is a mechanistically coherent distinction. This is what off-label disclosure looks like when done with integrity. Cite the trials. Name the primary miss. Acknowledge the gap between the population studied and yourself. State that you are making a personal bet, not a recommendation. Now compare that to the accounts selling you protocols with no trial data, no pre-registered endpoints, and no disclosure of what the primary outcome actually was. Choose wisely my friends.
