Plot twist:

Kevin Day says “Did you know I’ve never even been skiing?” because he’s actually just a snowboarder…

Off season, of course, must not risk the Exy season with high speed outdoor recreation.

And like also he just relates with snowboarding better cause like snowboarding is new age and Exy is new age and like same-same ya know?

But like just think about it, yeah? He’s actually impressively good at snowboarding: Kev would be like Shaun White carrying around multiple Olympic medals for different sports. Exy could fall into the summer season Olympics while snowboarding is in winter season.

"Gaff Laff"

Had not settled on the word "snowboarding" by 1975.

A well worn accidental stunt contest entry gag, which I guess they don't want to oversell -- he comes in second.

just saw someone on tiktok say andrew minyard is a snowboarder and i’m sorry but.. mr. scared of heights from san jose, california ?? please

[asterism-codex]

Given that Amai had been hanging around Andrew so much, it was really only natural that he would hear about Yuuki from time to time, and with how much they liked the cellist, they wanted to get along with someone who was his friend, too.

While they were really only supposed to make the sweets they had for Yotsuba and her family, they secretly made a few more to bring to Yuuki when they found him, hoping that it would get him to spend some time with them.

When they finally do, they beam as they go over to him. "Hello, hello! You're Andie's friend, yeah?"

@hopes-memorial Amai to Yuuki (same trauma and similar in some ways :3)

Andrew would always talk highly of his little friend. The two of them hung out at least twice a week and they always had a good time doing so. If it wasn't for his apparent tsundere-ness -- he thinks that was the word -- he would proudly call the snowboarder his best friend in Japan.

"Huh?"

He turned to the cheery voice with a raised eyebrow. Andrew didn't really talk about his other friends with Yuuki all too often, sure he might've heard the name 'Amai' like once or twice before, but he didn't think he'd be meeting them at any point. That was his friend, after all.

"Depends on who's askin'."

Keren Landman, MD at Vox:

Anybody can be a part of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s Make America Healthy Again campaign. On his MAHA website, shoppers can buy shirts identifying themselves as a surfer, snowboarder, skier, sailor, marine, soldier, veteran, chiropractor, artist, fisherman, diver, nurse, doctor, pharmacist, paramedic, engineer, trucker, therapist, lawyer, teacher, millennial, Gen Z, Gen X, Boomer, mom, warrior mom, dog mom, or grandmother — who, like Kennedy, opposes the public health or factory farming or pharmaceutical corporate establishment.

Over the 16 months he campaigned for president, and ever since he quit to endorse President-elect Donald Trump in August, Kennedy has been making strange bedfellows in a divided nation. Voters across the partisan spectrum can find at least one thing he’s said or done that resonates with their values. Opponents of industrialized agriculture and people who want easier access to unpasteurized milk can convince themselves he’s an ally. Public health authorities and fact-based journalists may clash with Kennedy for his inaccurate representations of biomedical science, but many Americans sympathize with his comments on the drug industry, and a growing number share his negative views on vaccine mandates. Trump’s decision to pick Kennedy to lead the Department of Health and Human Services wasn’t a conventional choice. Kennedy represents a movement that has long been outside the mainstream but now finds itself in the halls of power. Soon after Kennedy traded his endorsement for an appointment by then-candidate Trump in August, his platform took on a more Trumpian branding: Make America Healthy Again, often shortened to MAHA.

But what does that really mean? What would the consequences be for people’s health? By articulating a few big, noble goals in alluringly plain language — without getting into the weeds about how to achieve them — MAHA has drawn what were once distinct causes together under one banner. But it’s in between the lines where its dangers lie: MAHA’s calculated omissions allow people to project their own priorities onto the platform, without having to think too hard about the trade-offs.

The historical origins of Make America Healthy Again

From the beginning, Kennedy’s career has blended a connection to the counterculture with his august surname and a professed commitment to noble goals. During court-ordered community service for a drug offense in the early ’80s, he wound up renovating a building owned by the Open Space Institute, a land preservation organization. The building was later taken over by Hudson Riverkeeper, a group dedicated to rehabilitating the befouled Hudson River, and he embraced the cause: After his admission to the bar in 1985, he took on multiple corporate polluters in high-profile cases over the next few decades as senior attorney for the Natural Resources Defense Council. He styled himself as a crusader for the Earth, and so did the media; in 1999, Time magazine named him a Hero for the Planet.

In the early 2000s, Kennedy got interested in thimerosal, a mercury-based preservative then often used to produce vaccines. American anti-vaccination advocates, primed to fear vaccines due to a now-discredited 1998 publication by British scientist Andrew Wakefield, had seized on bungled communications about the ingredient’s safety. Despite the weight of the evidence confirming vaccine safety and the immense global benefits of childhood vaccinations, it became Kennedy’s most important cause. He spent the next two decades at the helm of Children’s Health Defense, one of the leading organizations in spreading anti-vaccination messages.

It represented a break from his activism on behalf of a more conventional and scientifically sound cause to one on the biomedical fringes. Environmentalism “is a shockingly mainstream movement overall” rooted in a faith in science, expertise, and a belief in an active federal government that can implement solutions, says Brian Drake, a historian of environmental movements at the University of Georgia. In contrast, the anti-vaccination movement is grounded in a distrust of science and government, and relies on deliberate misreadings of scientific evidence to support its positions.

But there is a common thread: Both movements appeal to people with an intense distrust of authority, whether government, scientific, or corporate. People with these values have historically used environmental causes as a vehicle to express them, Drake says. For example, when anti-fluoridation advocates gained momentum in the 1950s and 1960s, their most prominent leaders in the US were anti-communists and organic farmers. For those environmentalists who like Kennedy, there is similarly “a real emphasis on bodily integrity, fears of poisons getting into your body,” Drake says. “There’s a really strong individualistic strain to it.” [..]

The Kennedy supporters Buck has spoken with often tell her they’re “fed up” with mainstream approaches to climate action like carbon offsets and alternative energy sources. Rather than push for scalable big-government solutions like investments in renewable energy, she says, people in this subgroup favor more individualistic approaches that don’t restrict their freedom, like strengthening regenerative agriculture for small local farms. Kennedy has done the same. In the mid-2000s, he opposed an effort to build a wind farm off the coast of Cape Cod, framing the issue as a clash between corporations and local economies. During the 2024 campaign, he said soil regeneration and clean water are higher on the list of his environmental priorities than, for example, investments in carbon capture technologies that literally suck carbon dioxide out of the air. (Kennedy left the Natural Resources Defense Council in 2014; his former colleagues there say his anti-science views became incompatible with the organization’s work.)

Vaccine deniers and RFK Jr.-style environmentalists are highly skeptical of corporate power and the scientists they perceive to be in collusion with those nefarious entities. By 2015, historically left-leaning anti-vaxxers were using social media to grow their movement across political and special interest lines. The pandemic further galvanized their efforts and brought in new adherents: Conservatives fearful of government overreach found common cause with vaccine deniers, says Sara Gorman, a public health researcher and author whose latest book is about medical distrust and conspiracy theories. A generation of right-wing politicians and media commentators had primed them to be deeply skeptical of the so-called liberal bias of conventional expertise and academia.

What is MAHA, and who’s behind it?

Kennedy has been articulating elements of what eventually became the MAHA platform for years. His agenda acquired shades of MAGA only recently, when he effectively dropped his doomed presidential bid in exchange for influence over Trump’s health care agenda and over the president-elect himself. The first murmurs of MAHA, the brand, started in early September with an op-ed Kennedy authored in the Wall Street Journal. The effort eventually articulated five key aims:

Combat America’s chronic disease epidemic — especially cancer, diabetes, and heart disease — by tackling its root causes: poor diet, environmental toxins, and inadequate health care.

Promote regenerative agriculture, an organic-style farming approach that promises to slash agricultural carbon emissions and conserve nature while reducing chemical use, with the aim of producing healthier food.

Restore natural ecosystems to benefit human and animal health and mitigate the environmental harms of US industry and agriculture.

Reduce corporate influence in government, especially in its public health and environmental agencies.

Remove chemicals and toxins from the country’s food, water, and air.

On the surface, these priorities don’t look that different from those of the American Public Health Association or the Center for Science in the Public Interest. They share elements of the One Health approach to ecosystem health embraced by leading health authorities worldwide. [...] Siblings Calley and Casey Means have also shaped the MAHA plan. Casey is a Stanford-educated surgeon turned wellness influencer, while Calley was at one point a political insider interning for John McCain’s presidential campaign and lobbying Congress on behalf of the food and pharmaceutical industries. Now authors of a bestselling book on metabolism and health, they bring a deep distrust of those industries and of the medical establishment to Kennedy’s coalition, as well as an insider’s understanding of how they work. Del Bigtree, founder of the Informed Consent Action Network, a prominent anti-vaccination organization, is the MAHA PAC’s CEO, and the group’s social media director previously worked closely with Aubrey Marcus, a podcaster and founder of the Joe Rogan-endorsed fitness and supplement brand Onnit.

[...]

Who is MAHA for?

Taken together, these apostles display impressive credentials. But they are also fluent in the right-leaning influencer-slash-podcaster subculture that has grown around “healthy” eating and exercising; Kennedy himself has gone viral for his weightlifting clips. This movement has one distinguishing feature that unites its disparate threads: People who go from curious to supportive of MAHA, whatever its specific draw to them is, also embrace an intense individualism combined with a “really knee-jerk, angry anti-elitism,” Drake says.

After reciting a falsehood about abortion to a Washington Post reporter — that it’s “never medically necessary to save the life of the mother” — conservative wellness influencer and MAHA stan Alex Clark summarized the ethos: “I know you’ll cite experts who tell me I’m wrong about this, but this is my view.”

Not all vaccine-hesitant people fit this description. But many of those who are suspicious of vaccines on ideological grounds do, and Kennedy’s work resonates with them. Moms are among those drawn to his promise to hold accountable American health care and the federal agencies that regulate it: American mothers’ skepticism about vaccinating their own children is associated with having their own negative experiences in health care, and more than half of Americans report encounters with health care providers bad enough to undermine their trust. Kennedy’s anti-vaccine campaign has coincided with a rise in anti-vaccine attitudes among the US public over the last few decades. More parents are opting out of giving their children vaccinations recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention: Over the last decade, the percentage of kindergartners who hadn’t received routine immunizations increased by 2 to 3 percent. In more than three-quarters of states, measles immunization rates were below the 95 percent coverage threshold needed to prevent outbreaks in the event of a school-based exposure.

Kennedy also appeals to people who broadly distrust government and to “double-haters” — those who think institutions and both mainstream political parties need to be dismantled and either rebuilt or replaced. Despite his lifetime affiliation with the Democratic Party, Kennedy styles himself as a bridger of partisan divides: An early graphic on his now-revamped website read, “Left isn’t better. Right isn’t better. Better is better.” Some of his politically unaffiliated supporters see themselves as outsiders whose skepticism was underappreciated by big-party candidates, and whose perspectives are maligned by mainstream media.

Vox takes a look at the MAHA movement and how it appeals to the low-trust and conspiratorially-minded people.

Salmon Woods was stunning. Andrew had forgotten how much he loved exploring a place he'd never seen before.

It'd be winter soon. In town they were already advertising the start of the ski season on Great Bear Mountain.

He wondered how Tracy would feel about learning to ski. They could teach the kids to snowboard on the beginner slopes.

He understood why Tracy loved Bluewater Village so much. She'd grown up in Brooklyn Heights and her family had visited her grandparents in the village every summer. To a kid used to the city, the small town by the sea must have seemed magical. 

Then, when she'd moved there to get away from a bad relationship with Tanya's father, it was a safe haven, and an opportunity to raise her child in a place where she had so many happy memories.

But you can make memories anywhere.

He found himself imagining a different future for their family. Moving from base to base, to different towns, even different countries. The army paid all the relocation costs, and they'd never have to worry about building on extra bedrooms because the army would provide a house to suit their family. 

They could keep the Bluewater cottage, maybe rent it out. Maybe it would be a good place to retire some day in the future.

But for now, there was so much more to discover. He just had to find a way to make Tracy see that.

From Tracy

This is all driven by Andrew's midlife crisis wants - along with the want to change career, he's rolled some little, easy to fulfill ones like changing his clothes, and some big ones like travelling to all three World Adventures destinations. So, yeah, the travel bug has bitten.

I've based his career plans off this mod. In TS2, I imagined the military base was in Bluewater Village, and my military sims could only live there. I put a small base in the TS3 version of the village, and later added a bigger one to Salmon Woods, to give me another reason to move some playable sims there. 

We'll catch up with these guys again in a few more story-months.

How Alcyon Tate feels around the other students in her class on a blimp

Requested by no one

Ushijima Yuuko, Ultimate Artist: Feels calm around here, she gets thanked from her for seeing the world in a different view.

Hilda Crane, Ultimate Witch: Always gives her a TSA check to her magic items before boarding. She doesn’t want her to mess with her piloting in any way shape or form.

Aeztia, Ultimate Succubus: She makes sure that she is away from any male passengers. Good thing Alcyon is female as well.

Sapphire, Ultimate Dancer: She agrees her to let her dance as long it doesn’t involve with lots of moving.

Sonia Sims, Ultimate Assassin: She really hates it when Sonia needs her for her missions. “If this blimp gets punctured and crashes, you owe me one new blimp.”

Annabella Smythe, Ultimate Maid: Wondering why she is cleaning the inside of the gondola while she needs to enjoy the view.

Sheldon Simmons, Ultimate Scammer: no wonder why her blimps have a cockpit. Always have her headset on while he is on board.

Tibout, Ultimate King: Constant anxiety when he is on board. She has to pick him up where in his own kingdom, frequent flyer.

Red A. Ketchum, Ultimate Pokemon Trainer: Allows small and non-threatening Pokémon on board as well as his friends.

Lucas Norton, Ultimate Movie Star: Always needed for flight related scenes and needs to know what movie they are filming, doesn’t like fighting related scenes that can affect the blimp.

Glacier Ross, Ultimate Snowboarder: She can’t find a common ground with him since both their activities involved with different weather seasons that they like and don’t like. Wishes that she can help broadcast snowboard events and other winter events.

Andrew Carver, Ultimate Boxer: Somehow, she doesn’t have any negative thoughts for him but she pilots him when he is going on a world tour of boxing. She wishes that he can have an open arena outside while she is piloting.

Nathan Carver: Shaking a lot when he is around and doesn’t want his anger to get the better of him. Like with Andrew, she wishes that he also has a open arena outside while she is piloting as well.

Nakata Seiichi, Ultimate Ninja: Almost constantly keeps an eye on him since he doesn’t make a sound while he moves around the Gondola. Good thing there is a cockpit.
