Something interesting you might not have realized: a number of words in English are NOUNS when you stress the FIRST syllable, but VERBS when you stress the SECOND syllable.
"Your CONduct is better when you conDUCT yourself appropriately.”

i love the way Casey writes about bodies, and as someone who’s lived with pain from pelvic floor dysfunction for over a decade, this feels like such a gift.
I wrote this piece because I only learned about pelvic floors a few years ago, despite having had one all my life. And then it turned out to be where I store all my issues. And then that turned out to be true for a lot of people www.wired.com/story/the-pe...
The Pelvic Floor Is a Problem
Everyone’s suddenly obsessed with the pelvic floor—physical therapists, MAHA influencers, me. Could this deeply misunderstood body part really be the seat of so much modern dysfunction?

The greatest and often unreported irony here is that the Alt-Right's WHOLE FUCKING PITCH to young men was "get your shit together, hit the gym, help us turn this country around, and you will be swimming in women" only for "Who did you vote for in '24?" to be the inflection point of their loneliness.
Everyone has a list of so-called "red flags" when they're dating. And for some, especially younger Americans, different political views is a relationship deal breaker.
Majority of Gen Z swipe left on dating people with opposite political views

If Hollywood was looking at social media right now, they'd choose that Bryan Johnson shit to make a "prestige TV" show, completely ignoring the fact the way that we are all crashing out over a perfectly executed romance.

12YO girl signed up to do “stand up comedy” at the talent show. 13YO boy decided to heckle her. Teacher started to tell the boy to leave her alone, but the 12YO comedian said “no, no, let him go, this is the closest he’s ever going to get to having a conversation with a girl.”

Go on; have a read, it’s a lovely Christmas Eve tale.
The most stressed out I've ever been about Christmas was when I was 16 and I got my first ever job, working at M&S in Dundrum. As soon as I started I kept hearing these myths about the Christmas Eve Waste Sale, where all the food that wasn't sold on the 24th was marked down 90%.

Interesting look at a kidney stone under an electron microscope; I always though it was painful because you were pushing an object through a hole too small for it to easily pass, but no it's literally just razor sharp crystals too.
