Mitch McConnell isn't unique in that there have been many politicians in all eras of our nation's history who have held onto power while passing out in public and forgetting their own names. Mitch himself has a personal history of falling apart in very public moments for years. youtu.be/-sy1aumGbXw

Took third place yesterday in the adult teams division at the shido summer camp. We were one sudden death point away from the finals. Super strong competition overall, and a lot of fun. #kendo

You guys, Mitch McConnell is actually over at my house for his intense physical therapy recovery program and he's actually bench pressing me right now as I type this.

I don't mean to throw a turd in your Mediterranean diet but we have to talk about blue zones. We often think of them as the most evidence-based aspect of wellness culture, but what if that evidence was just a bit off from the very beginning? #health #wellness #longevity #science youtu.be/MfKAFj4CyTM

The psychology & linguistics of disease as well as my own cancer journey, & the essay I wrote called 'The Truth About Heroes & Cancer' are the subjects of this deep dive.

When I was a kid, and we were learning lessons about protecting yourself from the fury of nature, I distinctly remember my middle school science teacher telling us that the best thing you can do in a lightning storm is build a big metal cage on the lawn of your nation's capital & have a fight in it.

There’s been a lot of talk in this race about what makes a "real man." A man does what’s right when no one is watching. He upholds his commitments to his family and neighbors. He doesn’t lie, cheat, & steal his way through life. Real men serve others. Weak men serve themselves.

Why are headlights so bright now?? It's a pet peeve of mine, sure, but it's also dangerous and out of control at this point. It has to do with a few factors, from LED bulbs to the lack of adaptive headlight technology that's existed outside the U.S. for a decade. youtube.com/shorts/_r3BK...
