I have an acquaintance from high school who recently finished their Ph.D. in a humanities-based discipline. On Facebook (🙄), they have in the last years posted a lot of anti-trans rhetoric from "an academic perspective". It has gotten much more intense in the last years.

I recently saw a reel from Golden Coffee on instagram promoting Waved, a product which infuses coffee with electromagnetic waves to energize the water molecules so that it binds flavor molecules more tightly (or w/e 🤨).

I previously wrote about Tidal - I'm still very happy to use it over Spotify, but one issue that keeps coming up is how hard it is for the platform to stick to artist identifier. I've encountered multiple artists who have their music spread out over multiple profiles

As a bonus, you get to learn some random facts.

What you see...A recrystallization of the amino acid alanine (a molecular building block of our proteins) and citric acid, which helps drive a lot of cellular business and that also adds a nice tang in some recipes. This pretty patch on my microscope slide could fit on the face of a sesame seed.
