There's nothing that brings out the absolute worst people faster than a tragedy. Its the same people every time and they are the dumbest bottom dwellers on this platform.

What a lying sack of sh*t.

She was falling 27,000 feet in a minute in an iced-up jet. In about 35 seconds she declared a mayday, gave her tail number, descent rate, overspeed and a 60-degree bank. That's the job. Then she died with eight other people, and you're grading her tone. Fuck you.

Fiber gets treated as nutrition advice and rarely as a mortality intervention. The meta-analysis data suggests it should be both. The 2024 Ramezani systematic review in Clinical Nutrition pooled 64 prospective cohorts totaling 3.5 million subjects. Comparing highest fiber consumers to lowest: - All-cause mortality: 23% lower - Cardiovascular mortality: 26% lower - Cancer mortality: 22% lower Every endpoint measured moved in the same direction. Effect sizes of this magnitude from observational data on a single nutrient are rare. The 2019 Reynolds Lancet dose-response meta-analysis (185 prospective cohorts) fills in the curve shape. Mortality risk drops sharply from 0 to about 25 g/day and plateaus. Below 25g, each additional gram is associated with measurable risk reduction. Above 30g, the curve is mostly flat. The inflection point sits almost exactly where IOM set the daily target: 25g women, 38g men. US adults average ~15 g/day, halfway up the curve, not at the top. About 95% fail to hit target. Closing that gap is arguably the single largest preventable nutrition-related mortality signal in the current evidence base. The mechanism operates on two parallel tracks. Direct effects: viscous soluble fibers (beta-glucan, psyllium) bind bile acids in the intestinal lumen and increase fecal excretion, forcing the liver to pull cholesterol from circulation to synthesize replacements. This is how fiber lowers LDL, independent of bacteria. Fermentation effects: colonic bacteria ferment fibers into short-chain fatty acids (acetate, propionate, butyrate). Propionate reaches the liver via bloodstream and appears to inhibit cholesterol synthesis, a second pathway behind fiber's lipid effects. Butyrate regulates gene expression in immune cells, supports regulatory T cell populations, and fuels the cells lining the colon. SCFAs also signal through receptors on immune cells, enteroendocrine cells, and fat cells, influencing insulin sensitivity and inflammation. Caveats. Evidence is observational, not randomized. Fiber intake correlates with diet quality, activity, body weight, smoking, and socioeconomic factors, all independently tied to mortality. Adjustments don't fully eliminate confounding. Causal claims need caution. Large-scale RCTs on hard mortality endpoints do not exist. What IS well-supported: higher fiber intake is associated with lower mortality, the relationship is graded by dose, and associations are consistent across dozens of independent cohorts. Subgroup finding worth knowing. In Ramezani, insoluble fiber showed stronger associations than soluble. Fiber from nuts and seeds specifically was associated with 43% lower cardiovascular mortality. Close a 10-15g gap with food: 1 cup cooked lentils (~15g) + 1 avocado (~10g) + 1 cup raspberries (~8g) + ½ cup black beans (~7g) + 1 cup broccoli (~5g). One legume, one whole grain, one fibrous vegetable daily moves most adults from 15 to 30 g/day. For the magnitude of mortality associations backed by this scale of observational evidence, few single nutrients compare.

Holy fucking shit. The most insane footage of the incident in Palm Beach. Never seen anything like this before in my life.

Note, once again, how much of the political damage was baked in before the Iran war began. One word: tariffs.

I miss you

Insecurity is loud.

Heat 2 gonna be lit af

Hideous. Pen and not overturned by VAR. What are we doing?

In non sports news: Oil needs to drop nearly $20 a barrel today or @ClayTravis owes a charity $1 million.

Warren Sapp reveals the five things that Tony Dungy would tell his players could ruin their career “There’s five things Coach Dungy told us, and I remember this like yesterday... Five things that keep you off the cover of USA Today.” “Don’t be out past 12 midnight. Don’t be going 15 miles over the speed limit. No drugs or guns. Alcohol. Or women you know too well, or not well enough. Look at your boy... 156mph at 2am, with a gun, a chick, and drinking. He hit the five.” “When Allen Iverson got pulled over that time. 93mph at 2am with a gun. Only thing he didn’t have was the drugs, alcohol or some of that. It’s the five. Tony Dungy laid that thing out for us dawg. And I’m telling you, those five things can hit you over and over and over again man.”

Reminder: this is how Vivek got rich. He bought a worthless drug, had HIS MOM run a bogus trial on the drug, then went on CNBC and lied about it. The drug never worked. Investors lost all their money. But Vivek had already cashed out.

It is profoundly embarrassing that this man is our vice president.

🚨 𝐅𝐀𝐂𝐓: If Ebrima Tunkara debuts against Alavés, he will become the SECOND YOUNGEST player in history to wear the Barça shirt in a La Liga match (16 yrs, 235 days), behind only Lamine Yamal. #fcblive 💫

Clay Travis is threatening to call his mom on somebody who made fun of him for making up a story about how he used to go to Cheesecake Factory as a little kid as if it were a sacred pilgrimage. Full grown man with a talk show btw

The new GOP is losing pretty big right now.

This clown just hits alllll the xenophobes' hot buttons. What a dbag.

I just want to be sure I have this right: The illegal immigrants were buying all the homes and driving up prices while also driving down wages by taking all the low paying jobs but were also super lazy and using all the welfare and SNAP they aren’t eligible for. 🫤

He's right.
