seeing crazy inventive and erotic stuff that’s not overtly explicit like this just makes me think do we even like women erotically anymore, it’s so sad

people in Southern Italy can't buy food because diesel is too expensive for truckers to be able to get a living wage out of their job because you decided to start a pointless war in Iran
just one example off the top of my head

What is rhabdomyolysis?
When skeletal muscle breaks down rapidly under extreme exertion, the fibers release myoglobin, potassium, and other toxins into the bloodstream. Myoglobin is especially toxic to the kidneys. Severe cases cause acute kidney failure, electrolyte chaos, arrhythmias, and death.
It’s rare — but not zero. Most recover with aggressive IV fluids. Fatal cases usually involve a “perfect storm”: overexertion + dehydration + heat stress + pushing through clear warning signs. First-time marathoners are at higher risk because the volume of eccentric muscle damage is novel.

I’m a cardiologist. A 24-year-old former Division I field hockey player in “perfect health” just died two miles from the NYC Marathon finish line. Her heart didn’t fail first. Her muscles did.
She collapsed at Mile 24 after texting her dad “Ow” and “Ow ow.” Six hours of CPR and hospital efforts couldn’t save her. This is rhabdomyolysis — and it can kill even the fittest athletes.

24-year-old Rachel Apa dies after collapsing in Central Park just two miles from completing the New York City Marathon.
Her parents say they were tracking her on the marathon tracking app when she stopped moving at Mile 24.
"Final stretch," her father texted her at Mile 23, but she never replied.
Her parents say they were waiting at Mile 25 and tracking her on the app, but noticed she stopped moving at Mile 24.
After a few minutes, they headed to Mile 24, where they found an ambulance pulling out.
According to The New York Times, Apa collapsed before a social worker ran over and tried to find a pulse. Three people took turns trying to resuscitate her.
She was taken to Mount Sinai Medical Center, where doctors spent six hours trying to save her life.
Apa's father says she died from rhabdomyolysis, a condition that can be caused by exertion, in which skeletal muscle rapidly disintegrates and poisons the blood.
"It’s unfathomable. Perfect health, perfect shape, 24 years old," her father said.
Apa played field hockey at Bucknell University and ran the race for her grandfather, who died from Parkinson’s disease.
