No, Mark Zuckerberg doesn’t get to go on Joe Rogan’s podcast and pretend he’s a free speech champion as if there were nothing he could have done to stop the censorship at Facebook that rigged the 2020 election and probably cost lives during the pandemic. The wanksta-lite makeover can’t hide Zuck’s sins, from throttling The Post’s Hunter Biden laptop story before the 2020 election to deplatforming a sitting president, Donald Trump, to suppressing COVID-19 dissent. No matter how many “Iron Neck” workouts he does in an attempt to de-nerd himself, the billionaire tech titan will always be a spineless coward whose…

Table of Contents Table of Contents The study The results The takeaway The evidence-based benefits of resistance training Even if you start lifting weights later in life, research continues to support the benefits. Committing to one year of heavy resistance training has been proven to provide benefits that can last for four years. People often say, “I’m too old for that,” but this mounting research is another reason we shouldn’t let age hold us back from swelling those muscles. Recently, researchers analyzed the effects of resistance training on people 65 years old and over. Let’s look at the study and…

LOS ANGELES — The weather on the morning of Jan. 7 felt different to Neal Flesner. He had lived in Los Angeles for some 25 years and had never before experienced such intense, dust-filled winds.  By the time Flesner left the gym in Venice Beach around 11 a.m. local time, he could already see smoke and flames filling the hills near his Pacific Palisades, California, home.  His wife, Carmen, whose family had lived in Los Angeles for generations, was already beginning to prepare for an evacuation. The couple had lived in the Mandeville Canyon area near the Palisades for years and…

In Prayagraj, followers will bathe in the Triveni Sangam,…

After testing them out over the last few weeks, X has now officially launched its new “Parody” account labels, which aim to reduce confusion around what’s being shared, and by whom, in the app. As you can see in this example, X’s parody account markers will reduce impersonation and misinformation in the app, by ensuring that users are aware that this is not the official or actual profile of a celebrity or brand. Which could have also been solved by, you know, not selling verification checkmarks to anybody who’s willing to pay. But that ship has already sailed, returned to…

Mark Zuckerberg appeared on Joe Rogan’s podcast earlier this week, and he had a lot of words to say about Apple. In particular, the Meta chief targeted the company’s innovative streak and the cumbersome ecosystem weaved around it. “They haven’t invented anything great in a while. It’s like Steve Jobs invented the iPhone, and now they’re just kind of sitting on it 20 years later,” Zuckerberg told Rogan. Here’s the fun part. Meta — which went by the name Facebook not too long ago — tried to get a foothold in the phone market. And we’re not just talking about…
