Kennedy Jr. testified before Congress for the first time since taking office and told lawmakers that Americans shouldn't take medical advice from him.Julie Appleby of KFF Health News, Alice Miranda Ollstein of Politico, and Joanne Kenen of the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and Politico Magazine join KFF Health News' Julie Rovner to discuss these stories and more. Visit our website for a transcript of this episode.Plus, for “extra credit,” the panelists suggest health policy stories they read this week that they think you should read, too: Julie Rovner: The New York Times' “Elizabeth Holmes's Partner Has a New Blood-Testing Start-Up,” by Rob Copeland. Alice Miranda Ollstein: ProPublica's “He Became the Face of Georgia's Medicaid Work Requirement. Now He's Fed Up With It.” by Margaret Coker, The Current. Julie Appleby: Scientific American's “How Trump's National Weather Service Cuts Could Cost Lives,” by Andrea Thompson. Joanne Kenen: The Atlantic's “Now Is Not the Time To Eat Bagged Lettuce,” by Nicholas Florko. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Human beings have an overwhelming tendency to overemphasize the significance of the present without considering context or historical perspective. For many, here and now is as good as it gets - we have steadily progressed from a savage past, and all we have to look forward to is the great unknown. But if our literature and cinema are anything to go by, many are convinced that the future will indeed be dystopian. At the same time, arguments abound that living in the moment is a key to happiness and success. However, to privilege the present over the past or future, Brett Bowden argues in Now Is Not the Time: Inside Our Obsession with the Present (Iff Books, 2024), is to engage in tempocentrism. More than a mere preoccupation with the present, tempocentrism involves comparing and judging the past in relation to the present, with the tendency to assume that the present isn't only materially and qualitatively different from the past but also superior to it, often morally so. Yet tempocentrism, a mistaken belief in the unprecedented nature of events going on around us, brings with it a skewed perspective loaded with bias and prejudice. Requiring just as much ignorance and arrogance as Eurocentrism - tempocentrism implies that the present is somehow superior to the past because we live in it now. The point, however, is not to suggest that there is not something special about the present - there might well be - but now is not the time to decide whether it is more significant than previous moments, or those still to come. Depending on the issue or event in question, the time for that is later … possibly hundreds or thousands of years later. Learn more about your ad choices.

Now Is Not the Time to Panic is a novel, but the relationship at its core comes from best-selling author Kevin Wilson's own young adulthood. Two teens find each other, in a summer of boredom, and start making art together – but their collaboration spirals to unlikely places. In this episode, Wilson tells NPR's Scott Simon about the real-life friendship that sparked the story, and what those memories mean many years later.

There are 3 reasons people think, "Now is not the time to lose weight." It's important to know these because our reasons usually sound very legit... But they might not be. Sometimes we find justifications and excuses in our life to avoid doing something we are just SCARED of doing. This happens in weightloss all the time. Deep down, we don't think we can do it. We look around at our life and find a good excuse. And then we get a sense of RELIEF that right now is not a good time. That relief is easier to feel than the fear of trying to lose weight, no matter what's going on and regardless of what we're afraid of. In today's podcast, I'll walk you through our 3 biggest excuses. After 15 years of helping 1000's of women lose weight, I know what you need to watch out for. When you stop using these things as an excuse, you'll be able to get started on your weightloss journey much easier. Listen to Episode 257: Now Is Not the Time to Lose Weight today.
