Epic Fury, Shoes, and the War Trump Can't Name

The Bulwark’s Morning Shots critique of Donald Trump’s Iran war naming—’Epic Fury’—argues the plan lacks clear goals, risks escalation, and imposes heavy costs, all wrapped in Trump’s self-aggrandizing theatrics. The piece contrasts Trump’s swagger (including his obsession with Florsheim shoes for aides and a two-minute clap by Republican leaders) with skeptical takes from Rogan and younger voters, and threads in related notes on AI-assisted targeting, civilian harm, and odd political-financial curiosities, leaving readers to wonder whether Epic Fury will become an epic disaster or a hollow pseudo-victory.

Stable Shoes Help Knee OA More Than Flat Flexible Shoes; Hip OA Results Remain Mixed

Stable Shoes Help Knee OA More Than Flat Flexible Shoes; Hip OA Results Remain Mixed

Two clinical trials show knee osteoarthritis patients benefit more from stable, supportive shoes, reducing walking pain by about 63% over six months compared with flat flexible shoes; flat flexible footwear may lower knee forces but can increase foot pain and did not outperform stability for hip OA. For hip OA, neither shoe type clearly improves hip pain. Older adults should avoid ill-fitting or high heels due to fall risk, while younger individuals not at fall risk should also avoid high heels to minimize joint forces. Consult a healthcare professional for personalized footwear advice and combine choices with exercise and weight management.

Nike's Black Friday Struggles Against On and Hoka

Black Friday marked a strong start to the holiday shopping season, with e-commerce spending reaching a record $10.8 billion, up 10.2% from last year. While in-store sales saw a modest 0.7% increase, footwear brands like On and Hoka experienced significant growth, maintaining full-price sales and strong demand. In contrast, Nike faced challenges, offering deeper discounts to manage inventory amid declining demand, though it still saw strong outlet store traffic. Analysts suggest the footwear category may face headwinds in the near term.
