Asked by police if he’d thrown many glass bottles off his spring break rental’s balcony, LSU student Aiden Baker replied “I threw every one of those bottles, every single bit of trash you see out here on the road.”

Florida police arrested him; the witty sheriff said “Time to geaux!”

Sing it.

‘Wellness residences’ generally optimize the built environment for long-term health, with a focus on things like air quality, water, light, acoustics, walkability and social connection.” …

The term longevity residences, however, refers to projects that take wellness a step further. They offer preventive and diagnostic health services such as biomarker testing, biological age assessment and AI-enhanced screenings. Other amenities sometimes include therapies such as hyperbaric oxygen, red-light therapy and cryotherapy. “In essence, they are bringing the programming of a longevity clinic or medical-wellness longevity resort home.” …

[One longevity development offers homes] in three design concepts, Embrace, Journey and Serene…

[Its amenities include] an Ammortal Chamber, a multimodular system combining red-light therapy, pulsed electromagnetic field therapy and molecular hydrogen inhalation. These treatments are designed to aid post-workout recovery, sharpen mental clarity and support overall well-being. Residents can also undergo DEXA scans to measure bone density, body fat, visceral fat and muscle mass, as well as VO2 max testing to evaluate aerobic capacity.

To assess joint health and physical power, the spa is equipped with VALD force plates and 3-D motion-capture technology that analyzes biomechanics and human movement. For sleep and relaxation, a HUSO sound-therapy system is also available, and homeowners can tap a medical concierge 24 hours a day...

[Other developments] offer therapies such as microbiome analysis, which is a molecular test of gut bacterial DNA used to optimize longevity. Stem cell procedures, in which a patient’s own cells are harvested and reinjected to stimulate collagen production, may also be offered.

[O]wners can [also] request on-demand services, such as red-light therapy panels and Normatec compression sleeves for the legs, arms and hips, which improve circulation and accelerate muscle recovery.

Velvaere, a development in Park City, Utah, which is already open, takes a similar approach. The 115 residences are outfitted with circadian-supportive lighting, filtered-water systems and smart-energy technology, along with dedicated wellness spaces that include infrared-light rooms, cold plunges, steam and massage areas...

[This] development has also partnered with the lifestyle robotics company Aescape to offer AI-powered massages, which scan the body with more than a million data points to deliver customized treatments, adjusting pressure levels, target areas and even music preferences…

[‘Ms UD, your music preference is My Guitar Wants to Kill Your Mama.’]

..The property will feature a dedicated wellness and longevity floor outfitted with a range of amenities, including contrast-therapy circuits—which pairs hot and cold treatments—infrared saunas, areas for AI massages, and stem cell therapy …

[B]iohacking-focused elements will extend into the residences themselves. Units will include low-toxicity paints and materials, hydrolyzed water filtration systems, and lighting strategies that support circadian rhythms and sleep.

The Well Bay Harbor Islands, Florida, where move-ins begin this spring, features residences outfitted with lymphatic drainage showers, red-light therapy, and air-purification systems. Residents and members will also have access to on-site Longevity Labs led by Dr. Frank Lipman, offering functional and preventive care, biomarker testing and IV therapies, among other treatments.

Nationally it’s 58% or so, which means Lancaster has a real problem. It’s mainly old guys with guns, and if you toss in alcoholism and divorce the suicide basket is pretty easy to identify. But the laws that help you do something about it – safe storage, extreme risk protection orders – ain’t there, and state gunnies will make sure they don’t get passed.

Christians needed Jews to return to the homeland of Israel to usher in the second coming of Christ… [T]he belief that modern Israel is a prophetic signpost that faithful Christians are obligated to protect … has weakened… The erosion of premillennial theology weakens a longstanding — if often theologically uncomfortable — foundation of pro-Israel sentiment. The old evangelical alliance was never rooted in liberal pluralism; it was rooted in prophecy. As that prophetic framework recedes, so could also the strange protective logic that once made Israel theologically indispensable to millions of Christians.

A sad reminder, on Women’s Day, of the enormity of this problem. I’ve followed global efforts to end it, and I must say we’re getting nowhere.

Sex, guns, and Hitler — Texas politics.

Yes well. A Hasid writes in a Washington Post op/ed that his cult’s broodmares can’t even study the religious tradition that makes them broodmares. In response, a commenter says the obvious – Talibanesque.

He hanged dogs; she shoots them. Both are sensual devils. The gothic fascination in watching them thrust their way through the world turns to horror and pity when their dark energy reveals itself as suicidal.

[John A.] Miller served as the executive director and treasurer of a Philadelphia-based religious nonprofit organization that provided financial assistance to the widows and orphans of deceased clergy members. 

Amid the endless effluence of fraud (here the stolen money went to luxury travel, a luxury condo, etc.), I’d say this case stands out.

Jury took all of two hours to find the fucker guilty of all charges.

The jury deliberated only about two hours before concluding that the [mass murderer’s] father, Colin Gray, 54, was guilty of more than two dozen charges, including second- degree murder and involuntary manslaughter, stemming from the attack on Sept. 4, 2024, at Apalachee High School in Winder, Ga. Two students and two teachers were killed.

I mean, go ahead and love guns to bits, America. But recognize that the national obsession has begun to spawn hereditary hoplophilia, and make sure you put our butchering broods behind bars.

Gray’s son had a history of violence, self-harm, and severe panic attacks, prosecutors said, and he allegedly told his father he was hearing voices. Still … Gray bought his [14 year old] son a SIG Sauer M400 assault-style rifle…

A writer for The Nation finds the long Harvard job security of Larry Summers’ corrupt crony shocking — as does UD. But apparently we live in an old-style oligarchy.

Summers – “A man whose intellect seems genuinely invigorated by a debate with his billionaire sex offender buddy over the costs and benefits of first-class versus NetJet.” – has himself been taken out of commission, but good ol’ Shleifer keeps on keepin on.

… all Saturdays, are the dates of UD’s lecture series on the essay, at the Georgetown Public Library. 1:00 – 3:00.

The Essence of the Essay begins by looking closely at Tatiana Schlossberg’s much-read essay about her impending death, and asking why it was so powerful. It moves on to define the genre, talk about its main categories, and try to account for why it represents arguably the clearest and deepest expression of the singular human voice.

Here are some of the essays we’ll read:

“A Battle with my Blood,” Tatiana Schlossberg

”Aes Triplex,” Robert Louis Stevenson

”On the Assassins’ Trail,” Gore Vidal

”How the Poor Die,” George Orwell

”Return to Tipasa,” Albert Camus
