i love you so

lol this rules, some dude down in Alabama is waging a one man war against “wake boats” by drilling holes in them. Locals have dubbed him “no wake Jake” and almost fifty of them have formed a committee urging him to run for sheriff. Oh yeah, and he dresses like this while he’s sneaking around sinking boats.

the finding that’s consistent among the data on exercise and health is that greater power over one’s own life and choices is highly correlated with good health. exerting oneself outside may be great for affluent runners who live among green spaces, but it’s not great for migrant workers. in a famous study, cleaning women were divided into two groups: one that was told their work was “exercise,” and one that was not. the group that was told they were exercising saw health benefits that the other did not. we know that in workplaces, sedentary bosses are healthier than their physically active laborers in part bc of the low decision latitude (lack of autonomy) of the latter group.
