Sam.levinson cannot write

which makes me sad because i loved season one of euphoria i really did. i hated assassination nation though hated it did not like malcolm & marie either and season two of euphoria is what really cemented him as an enemy of mine so you would have to pay me to watch the idol

#when i still watch season three of euphoria in 2027 or whenever it comes out though please don't say anything #they said they plan for it to come out in 2025 IDEALLY what's ideal about that #i watched assassination nation in 2020 and malcolm & marie when it came out (february 2021) so i don't even know why i expected to like s2 #of euphoria. well i do know it's because i loved season 1 and i also liked the specials but yeah whatever #and i really loved season 1 i watched it three summers in a row like it was my thing then i didn't even rewatch it in 2022 because #season 2 ruined it for me #that one malcolm & marie letterboxd review that's like why is this man screaming over a positive review. the tomato is FRESH! sam levinson #is insane. #malcolm & marie essentially being about a bad review of assassination nation...there's something very wrong with him #the first half of assassination nation is actually entertaining though like it doesn't make my anti top 5 #or even my anti top 16. but i do think it's bad #ask

Better Call Saul: Season 5 (2020)

This is a Movie Health Community evaluation. It is intended to inform people of potential health hazards in movies (and occasional TV shows) and does not reflect the quality of the film or show itself. The information presented here has not been reviewed by any medical professionals.  

Better Call Saul: Season 5 has moderate video-glitching effects in its brief title sequence, which follows the first scene of every episode, very slightly more intense than previous season. The biggest risk in strobe effects in this season are the strobes of police lights, which fill an entire scene taking place at night in Episode 2 (50% Off), during a full action sequence at night in Episode 4 (Namaste), and during the day at the end of Episode 6 (Wexler v. Goodman).

There are machine gun muzzle flashes in bright daylight in one scene of Episode 8 (Bagman), and during an extended nighttime sequence in Episode 10 (Something Unforgivable). Other brief strobe effects include some welding in Episode 1 (Magic Man), and the flicker of lights turning off in an elevator in Episode 2 (50% Off). One scene of Episode 10 (Something Unforgivable) is lit by a flickering fire.

Most of the camera work in this season is either stationary or very smooth. A few shots in Episode 1 (Magic Man) use some mild to moderate shaking camera work. A tense action scene in Episode 8 (Bagman) uses some shaking of the camera, and multiple scenes of the same episode take place in a moving car on a dirt road.

Flashing Lights: 7/10. Motion Sickness: 3/10.

TRIGGER WARNING: The opening scene of Episode 3 (The Guy for This) shows numerous close-ups of a swarm of ants. There are two graphic sounds of bones breaking later in the same episode. There is a description of an act of bestiality in Episode 4 (Namaste). The opening scene of Episode 8 (Bagman) involves the cleanup of massive amounts of blood. There are some gross-out moments involving bodily fluids in Episode 8 (Bagman) and Episode 9 (Bad Choice Road). A person receives graphic burn injuries in Episode 10 (Something Unforgivable).

looking back at May-October 2018 art and writing and realizing “this was it. this was my renaissance....”

#oh how i wish i could get back to that level of creativity and enthusiasm and productivity #my stomach ulcer first started to appear in september of that year but i wouldn't get a diagnosis until the end of february the next #so i just suffered for 5ish months. paired with drama and someone tearing me down i suffered severe massive burnout #and then decided to focus on my health when i got my diagnosis and said 'get healthy and then 2020 will be my year!' #and then...pandemic LMAO. christ alive...it's been an insane last 5 years i'll give it that #i guess the good news is i'm getting to a place where i feel like i'm finally back on solid footing. don't wanna jinx 2023 but i feel good

[wickymicky]

i never thought i’d say this, but... i miss 2020 lol. in terms of kpop, anyway. i feel like kpop was a better year for kpop than 2021 and definitely 2022 so far. man... sigh

#2021 had some good songs here and there and a bunch at the end #2022 has been kind of a wasteland imo so far #a few good songs #but not nearly as many as we had in 2021 or especially 2020 by five months in #by this point in 2020 i mean yeah we had the beginning of the pandemic but... #we also had scream fiesta dazzle dazzle wannabe kick it dr bebe crossroads so what nun nu nan na dun dun #bouncy jackpot assa endless night hands up nonstop stay tonight and probably more im not remembering #by this point in 2021 we had odd eye love so sweet after school asap ponzona doom doom ta mafia and more #not quite as many as in 2020... mostly thanks to february 2020 being the most stacked month in kpop history... but #for 2022 so far we have... well we have love dive run2u gingamingayo fearless dm smiley etc and yeah those are good i guess #but at this point in the last two years... i had like a really strong candidate for song of the year. there's no scream or asap yet in 2022 #and may 2021 had everglow first! idk if we'll get a soty candidate this month lol #my current frontrunner for soty is run2u probably. maybe love dive? probably run2u #i've actually listened to love dive more than run2u but thats just because april was a really hard month for me #and i needed some comfort music #lol #but i dont feel like run2u is *it* you know? it feels like a top 10 song... maybe even a top 5... but i KNOW when a song is a number 1 #and i dont feel like i have one yet this year #that's fine though #im just... really bored lol

[fatliberation]

they have a point though. you wouldn't need everyone to accommodate you if you just lost weight, but you're too lazy to stick to a healthy diet and exercise. it's that simple. I'd like to see you back up your claims, but you have no proof. you have got to stop lying to yourselves and face the facts

Must I go through this again? Fine. FINE. You guys are working my nerves today. You want to talk about facing the facts? Let's face the fucking facts.

In 2022, the US market cap of the weight loss industry was $75 billion [1, 3]. In 2021, the global market cap of the weight loss industry was estimated at $224.27 billion [2]. 

In 2020, the market shrunk by about 25%, but rebounded and then some since then [1, 3] By 2030, the global weight loss industry is expected to be valued at $405.4 billion [2]. If diets really worked, this industry would fall overnight. 

1. LaRosa, J. March 10, 2022. "U.S. Weight Loss Market Shrinks by 25% in 2020 with Pandemic, but Rebounds in 2021." Market Research Blog. 2. Staff. February 09, 2023. "[Latest] Global Weight Loss and Weight Management Market Size/Share Worth." Facts and Factors Research. 3. LaRosa, J. March 27, 2023. "U.S. Weight Loss Market Partially Recovers from the Pandemic." Market Research Blog.

Over 50 years of research conclusively demonstrates that virtually everyone who intentionally loses weight by manipulating their eating and exercise habits will regain the weight they lost within 3-5 years. And 75% will actually regain more weight than they lost [4].

4. Mann, T., Tomiyama, A.J., Westling, E., Lew, A.M., Samuels, B., Chatman, J. (2007). "Medicare’s Search For Effective Obesity Treatments: Diets Are Not The Answer." The American Psychologist, 62, 220-233. U.S. National Library of Medicine, Apr. 2007.

The annual odds of a fat person attaining a so-called “normal” weight and maintaining that for 5 years is approximately 1 in 1000 [5].

5. Fildes, A., Charlton, J., Rudisill, C., Littlejohns, P., Prevost, A.T., & Gulliford, M.C. (2015). “Probability of an Obese Person Attaining Normal Body Weight: Cohort Study Using Electronic Health Records.” American Journal of Public Health, July 16, 2015: e1–e6.

Doctors became so desperate that they resorted to amputating parts of the digestive tract (bariatric surgery) in the hopes that it might finally result in long-term weight-loss. Except that doesn’t work either. [6] And it turns out it causes death [7],  addiction [8], malnutrition [9], and suicide [7].

Evidence suggests that repeatedly losing and gaining weight is linked to cardiovascular disease, stroke, diabetes and altered immune function [10].

10. Tomiyama, A Janet, et al. “Long‐term Effects of Dieting: Is Weight Loss Related to Health?” Social and Personality Psychology Compass, 6 July 2017.

Prescribed weight loss is the leading predictor of eating disorders [11].

11. Patton, GC, et al. “Onset of Adolescent Eating Disorders: Population Based Cohort Study over 3 Years.” BMJ (Clinical Research Ed.), 20 Mar. 1999.

The idea that “obesity” is unhealthy and can cause or exacerbate illnesses is a biased misrepresentation of the scientific literature that is informed more by bigotry than credible science [12]. 

12. Medvedyuk, Stella, et al. “Ideology, Obesity and the Social Determinants of Health: A Critical Analysis of the Obesity and Health Relationship” Taylor & Francis Online, 7 June 2017.

“Obesity” has no proven causative role in the onset of any chronic condition [13, 14] and its appearance may be a protective response to the onset of numerous chronic conditions generated from currently unknown causes [15, 16, 17, 18].

13. Kahn, BB, and JS Flier. “Obesity and Insulin Resistance.” The Journal of Clinical Investigation, Aug. 2000. 14.

Tseng, Chin-Hsiao. “Obesity Paradox: Differential Effects on Cancer and Noncancer Mortality in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.” Atherosclerosis, Jan. 2013.

Fatness was associated with only 1/3 the associated deaths that previous research estimated and being “overweight” conferred no increased risk at all, and may even be a protective factor against all-causes mortality relative to lower weight categories [19].

19. Flegal, Katherine M. “The Obesity Wars and the Education of a Researcher: A Personal Account.” Progress in Cardiovascular Diseases, 15 June 2021.

Studies have observed that about 30% of so-called “normal weight” people are “unhealthy” whereas about 50% of so-called “overweight” people are “healthy”. Thus, using the BMI as an indicator of health results in the misclassification of some 75 million people in the United States alone [20]. 

20. Rey-López, JP, et al. “The Prevalence of Metabolically Healthy Obesity: A Systematic Review and Critical Evaluation of the Definitions Used.” Obesity Reviews : An Official Journal of the International Association for the Study of Obesity, 15 Oct. 2014.

While epidemiologists use BMI to calculate national obesity rates (nearly 35% for adults and 18% for kids), the distinctions can be arbitrary. In 1998, the National Institutes of Health lowered the overweight threshold from 27.8 to 25—branding roughly 29 million Americans as fat overnight—to match international guidelines. But critics noted that those guidelines were drafted in part by the International Obesity Task Force, whose two principal funders were companies making weight loss drugs [21].

21. Butler, Kiera. “Why BMI Is a Big Fat Scam.” Mother Jones, 25 Aug. 2014. 

Body size is largely determined by genetics [22].

Healthy lifestyle habits are associated with a significant decrease in mortality regardless of baseline body mass index [23].  

23. Matheson, Eric M, et al. “Healthy Lifestyle Habits and Mortality in Overweight and Obese Individuals.” Journal of the American Board of Family Medicine : JABFM, U.S. National Library of Medicine, 25 Feb. 2012.

Weight stigma itself is deadly. Research shows that weight-based discrimination increases risk of death by 60% [24].

24. Sutin, Angela R., et al. “Weight Discrimination and Risk of Mortality .” Association for Psychological Science, 25 Sept. 2015.

Fat stigma in the medical establishment [25] and society at large arguably [26] kills more fat people than fat does [27, 28, 29].

As you would expect February 29th is a bit bereft of anniversaries, but did you know..........

Anyone born on this day is said to be unlucky in Scottish culture, and referred to as “Leaplings.” True, they don’t get to celebrate many birthdays, but to make things worse, Scottish tradition adds on another layer by saying that leaplings are doomed to a lifetime of “untold suffering.” They also consider leap years as doomed for farmers, as the saying goes: “Leap year was never a good sheep year.”

Ithink we all know that it is the day of the year a lady can traditionally propose toher man, but in Scotland women intending to propose are advised to wear a red petticoat visible to their love – perhaps to give them fair warning! ;) Tradition also stated that any man who refused a Leap Day proposal should be issued with a fine, which could range from money to silk gowns.

If you are trying to work out the math on what you're exact age would be if you were born on February 29th, then you are in luck.

1920: 104 years old or 26.

1924: 100 years old or 25.

1928: 96 years old or 24.

1932: 92 years old or 23.

1936: 88 years old or 22.

1940: 84 years old or 21.

1944: 80 years old or 20.

1948: 76 years old or 19.

1952: 72 years old or 18.

1956: 68 years old or 17.

1960: 64 years old or 16.

1964: 60 years old or 15.

1968: 56 years old or 14.

1972: 52 years old or 13.

1976: 48 years old or 12.

1980: 44 years old or 11.

1984: 40 years old or 10.

1988: 36 years old or 9.

1992: 32 years old or 8.

1996: 28 years old or 7.

2000: 24 years old or 6.

2004: 20 years old or 5.

2008: 16 years old or 4.

2012: 12 years old or 3.

2016: 8 years old or 2.

2020: 4 years old or 1.

The next leap year will take place in 2028.

The Best News of Last Week

1. A branch of the flu family tree has died and won't be included in future US vaccines

A type of flu virus that used to sicken people every year hasn't been spotted anywhere on Earth since March 2020. As such, experts have advised that the apparently extinct viruses be removed from next year's flu vaccines.

The now-extinct viruses were a branch of the influenza B family tree known as the Yamagata lineage. Scientists first reported the apparent disappearance of Yamagata viruses in 2021.

2. Hospitals must obtain written consent for pelvic and similar exams, the federal government says

Hospitals must obtain written informed consent from patients before subjecting them to pelvic exams and exams of other sensitive areas — especially if an exam will be done while the patient is unconscious, the federal government said Monday.

New guidance from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services now requires consent for breast, pelvic, prostate and rectal exams for “educational and training purposes” performed by medical students, nurse practitioners or physician assistants.

3. Germany approves new law that will allow adults to carry up to 25 grams of cannabis for their own consumption and store up to 50 grams at home.

Germany's upper house, the Bundesrat, cleared the way to partially legalize cannabis on Friday. Adults aged 18 and over will be allowed to carry up to 25 grams of cannabis for their own consumption.

4. Tick-killing pill shows promising results in human trial | Should it pan out, the pill would be a new weapon against Lyme disease.

Tarsus Pharmaceuticals is developing a pill for humans that could provide protection against the tick-borne disease for several weeks at a time. In February, the Irvine, California–based biotech company announced results from a small, early-stage trial showing that 24 hours after taking the drug, it can kill ticks on people, with the effects lasting for up to 30 days.

5. Thailand moves to legalise same-sex marriage

Thailand has taken a historic step closer to marriage equality after the lower house passed a bill giving legal recognition to same-sex marriage.

It still needs approval from the Senate and royal endorsement to become law but it is widely expected to happen by the end of 2024, making Thailand the only South East Asian country to recognise same-sex unions.

6. French Revolution: Cyclists Now Outnumber Motorists In Paris

Official measurements have found that Paris is rapidly becoming a city of transportation cyclists. In the suburbs, where public transit is less dense, transport by car was found to be the main form of mobility. But for journeys from the outskirts of Paris to the center, the number of cyclists now far exceeds the number of motorists, a huge change from just five years ago.

7. 'Miracle' operation reverses blindness in three-year-old girl giving her 'promising' future

A three year old with a genetic condition that causes blindness is doing incredibly well after unique pioneering operation to restore her sight.

The UK is the only country performing keyhole eye surgery to inject healthy copies of a gene into sufferers’ eyes. It is being used to reverse blindness in children born with a rare condition which means they can only distinguish between light and dark. And it has given little Khadijah Chaudhry, born with Leber congenital amaurosis-4, a chance at seeing properly again.
