The latest findings, published this week in The Journal of the American College of Cardiology, indicate that the amount of leisure time spent sitting in front of a screen can have such an overwhelming, seemingly irreparable impact on one’s health that physical activity doesn’t produce much benefit. The study followed 4,512 middle-aged Scottish men for a little more than four years on average. It found that those who said they spent two or more leisure hours a day sitting in front of a screen were at double the risk of a heart attack or other cardiac event compared with those who watched less. Those who spent four or more hours of recreational time in front of a screen were 50 percent more likely to die of any cause. It didn’t matter whether the men were physically active for several hours a week — exercise didn’t mitigate the risk associated with the high amount of sedentary screen time.

Kenyatta hates Tom Brady. And she hates him, not so much because she hates the Patriots, but because he always wears that same borg-like face that says, “I’m going to kill you now.” And then he goes out and does it. But she really hates him out of jealousy, because—in all of our hard endeavors—we all wish to wear that face, to walk into whatever room convinced that we were about to calmly perpetrate an act of mass murder.
