Stress makes your body age faster. But there’s one thing that helps reverse the damage.
It’s not sleep. And we were taught it 1400 years ago.
It’s not sleep. And we were taught it 1400 years ago.
Stress doesn’t just affect your mind.
It ages you.
Faster.
Deep inside your body - at the ends of your DNA - are tiny protective caps called telomeres.
Think of them like the tips of shoelaces. They protect your cells.

Every time your cells divide, telomeres shorten. When they become too short, cells weaken, age faster, and die.

Gwent police are STILL permitting men to use women’s workplace facilities – including showers, changing rooms and toilets.
They refer to this in an internal policy as an ‘entitlement’.
Astonishingly, this policy was reviewed AFTER the Supreme Court made the Equality Act crystal clear.

The WRN Wales deputy coordinator, wrote to Gwent Chief Constable Mark Hobrough, pointing out their error in law, and seeking a meeting.
DCC Nicola Brain, (who also carried out the policy review in June 2025) dismissed this, and decided a meeting was not ‘appropriate’.
However, a referral of any upset staff to trans organisation Mermaids, in communications issued after the judgment is ‘appropriate’?
You decide.

How to talk about Non-Domiciled CDLs without being racist.

2/13 - So What's the Problem?
There are anywhere from 200,000 to 600,000+ people driving semi-trucks in the U.S. with illegal non-domiciled CDLs.
Many were rushed through CDL training schools of dubious means and origins.
This insourced labor pool often works for rates much lower than American truckers. US trucking companies didn’t understand why rates kept going down.
American truckers are mad.

3/13 - Step 1. Don't be racist
The word racism was coined and gained popularity in the early 20th century. Eugenics became popular in the US and Germany shortly thereafter, until the end of WWII... obviously.
Life gets easier when we realize that there’s one race, the human race.
That doesn’t ignore our natural proclivity towards tribalism, but it allows us to understand it.
Each human being has inherent dignity.
That doesn’t mean you can’t get mad at another person, but it does mean that person has worth.

The American sailors who served on her called the USS Laffey the ship that would not die.
Off Okinawa in 1945, 22 Japanese aircraft singled her out over the course of a single attack.
She was hit by six kamikazes and four bombs in 80 minutes.
32 of her crew were killed. She stayed afloat and kept firing.

🧵 2/6
The USS Laffey was an Allen M. Sumner class destroyer built at Bath Iron Works in Maine. She was commissioned in February 1944. She was just over 376 feet long and carried a crew of around 336 men.
She was named after Seaman Bartlett Laffey, a Civil War sailor who had earned the Medal of Honor. She was the second ship to carry the name. The first USS Laffey had been sunk in a point blank gun battle with Japanese warships off Guadalcanal in November 1942.
Her captain was Commander Frederick Julian Becton. Becton had been aboard a nearby destroyer the night the first Laffey went down at Guadalcanal. He had watched her die. Now he commanded the ship that carried her name.
The Laffey went to war fast. On June 6 1944 she was off the coast of Normandy supporting the D-Day landings. A German shell struck her but failed to explode. She broke up a German torpedo boat attack and shelled the fortress at Cherbourg.
Then the Navy sent her to the other side of the world.
By early 1945 she was in the Pacific. She supported the landings at Leyte and Lingayen Gulf in the Philippines. She escorted American aircraft carriers during airstrikes against Tokyo itself.
In April 1945 she arrived off the island of Okinawa.

The Laffey was assigned to radar picket duty.
It was the most dangerous job in the United States Navy. Radar picket ships were stationed alone, far ahead of the main American fleet, to detect incoming Japanese aircraft and give early warning. That meant they were the first ships the Japanese saw and the first ships the Japanese attacked. The kamikaze pilots threw themselves at the picket destroyers before they could reach the carriers behind them.
On April 16 1945 the Laffey was on radar picket station number 1, about 30 miles north of Okinawa.
That morning a force of about 50 Japanese aircraft came toward the American picket line. 22 of them singled out the Laffey.
At 8:30 in the morning the first dive bombers came screaming down out of the sky. The Laffey's gunners opened fire and knocked several of them into the sea. Then the attacks came faster than the crew could count. Aircraft dove on her from every direction at once. Dive bombers. Suicide planes loaded with explosives aimed directly at her decks.
For the next 80 minutes the Laffey fought for her life.

Giant ground sloths (fossil below is at the wonderful La Brea Tar Pits Museum in L.A.) were big winners in the Great American Biota Interchange that began when the isthmus of Panama was created around 2.8 million years ago. They made it all the way from South America to Alaska.
The interchange was highly asymmetric: N to S migration success far exceeded S to N. Today about half of S American mammals derive from N American progenitors - whereas only 1/10 of N American mammals originated in S America (e.g., opossums, porcupines & armadillos).
Giant ground sloths co-existed with humans for thousands of years before becoming extinct on the mainland about 10,000 yrs ago and in the Caribbean about 5,000 yrs ago. Adorable tree sloths are their surviving descendants (the one below lives in the Brazilian Amazon).
@KangintheNorth @Thomas_Banacek @MartinTweats @monta2__ Think I know the question you're getting at, & it's a juicy one. How could "very good" beings sin?

Not an abstract question… General Equilibrium (GE) is applied in trade, growth, public finance, macro, IO, development...
Question is not if equilibrium exist: that was settled triumphantly by Arrow, Debreu, McKenzie, but...
What good is it if we don't get there?

Every obedience experiment in history had the same overlooked finding.
Not everyone complied.
In Milgram’s lab, 35% refused to deliver the final shock. In Asch’s line experiments, 25% never conformed, not once, across any trial. In Zimbardo’s prison, at least one guard refused to dehumanize. One prisoner demanded a lawyer instead of a doctor and broke the psychological frame entirely.
We spent decades studying the ones who obeyed.
We barely asked what made the others different.
That question matters more now than it ever has.
The resisters in the COVID era were not difficult to find. Physicians who filed exemptions and lost their licenses. Nurses who walked away from careers rather than mandate patients into decisions they hadn’t genuinely chosen. Scientists who published contrary data knowing what it would cost them. Parents who stood alone at school board meetings. Ordinary people who simply said, quietly, without drama , no.
What made them different?
Research consistently identifies a cluster of factors. Not personality traits you either have or don’t. Situational and cognitive patterns that can be cultivated.
First: prior reflection on authority. The resisters had usually thought, before the crisis, about the limits of institutional trust. They weren’t cynics. They were people who had already asked the question “under what conditions would I refuse?” before anyone was asking them to comply.
Second: a concrete reference point outside the consensus. A value, a principle, an oath, a relationship that existed independently of the institutional structure demanding compliance. Something the system couldn’t reach.
Third: at least one other person. Milgram found that a single dissenting confederate reduced compliance dramatically. The resisters rarely stood entirely alone. They found each other. Sustained each other. Gave each other permission.
Fourth: the willingness to tolerate social pain. Not immunity to it. Tolerance of it. They felt the pressure. They felt the exclusion. They chose the discomfort of integrity over the comfort of belonging.
None of this is innate. All of it is learnable.
The most important thing Milgram, Asch, and Zimbardo taught us is not how fragile conscience is.
It’s that conscience can hold, if you’ve trained it, named its limits, and found even one other person willing to hold theirs beside you.
Build that now. Because the experiment is always running.
Until then stay humble.

Every day, the mind gathers debris from the material world. Thoughts, anxieties, and random impulses clutter the workspace of the spirit. Before any deeper work can begin, you must establish a strict practice of mental vigilance to reclaim control over this chaos.
Sit or lie down comfortably, keeping the spine aligned to ensure an unimpeded flow of awareness. Close your eyes and withdraw entirely from the outer world. Instead of forcing a blank void, simply open your internal screen and prepare to observe your own mind.
I gave evidence to the Nottingham Inquiry on Friday.

…to reduce risk to patient & public & that this is always in balance with respecting patient autonomy over decisions about treatment.
That balance has recently been in the wrong place. With good motives perhaps but with disastrous consequences.

Our social responsibility requires us to ensure treatment of severe mental illness is received when there is a risk.
Second, we should listen to patients’ families.
We need a right, possibly modelled on Martha’s Law, for worried families to request assessment in a crisis.

Ottawa W. Gurley created the Black Wall Street, the affluent black community in Greenwood in Tulsa.
Ottowa Gurley was born in 1868 to freed slaves in Huntsville, Alabama, Gurley grew up in Pine Bluff, Arkansas. He was self-educated and eventually married his childhood sweetheart, Emma. After a brief time as a teacher, he worked at U.S. Postal Service.
