“This thing is definitely bad for us but no one can say what it is”
The evidence that ultra-processed foods are bad for us is piling up. But efforts to reduce their role in our diets face a big hurdle: experts can't agree on what they are and which to target. n.pr/4qMrN7P
People want to avoid ultra-processed foods. But experts struggle to define them

it's really weird to have developed super specialized knowledge of the art industry and art crime for three years and then just suddenly stop developing it or reporting on it due to a layoff; but this happens to so many reporters and then I see discussions about declining public trust in the media

the tunnels argument always gives the game away, so the resistance should have built above ground military infrastructure? israel was gonna allow that? it's the "these people should know when they conquered" thing. our glorious fortitude, their perfidious intransigence, etc
Not that it really matters much what this guy thinks but I remembered that he opposed sanctions on settlers in illegally occupied Palestinian territory West Bank lol

sean’s theory is that trump is unusually terrified of death, hence ‘going out like stan chera’ and changing the subject in an interview from charlie kirk’s death to the ballroom plans and now staring blankly into space rather than look at a seriously ill person
This is one of those times when social media is important. I don't trust most major news organizations to do much with this photo, even though it speaks volumes about this moment in our nation's history. But the image going viral will get it seen, and might push news orgs to use and discuss it.
