What /does/ Utah have? “Utah Scones” are a Native American fry bread so I think that’s distinct.

I had someone offhandedly mention they read an article about picking your nose lowering your IQ… While I’m sure you should not do that, I’m more sure that the lack of preventive care and screening and increasing heavy metals in the food supply is doing a lot more than the Fad Health Thing.

I have this rapidly solidifying suspicion that part of the reason we’re seeing an uptick of conservatism from people under 25 is that, in addition to…everything else going on, they got a lot more childhood lead than people now in their 30s did.
my latest investigation for @consumerreports.org is based on months of reporting and 60+ lab tests of leading protein supplements
we found that most protein powders and shakes have more lead in one serving than our experts say is safe to have in a day (🧵)

Trump: "We took the freedom of speech away because that's been through the courts and the courts said you have freedom of speech, but what has happened is when they burn a flag it agitates and irritates crowds."

Patel is basically admitting on camera that the FBI no longer adheres to the Attorney General Guidelines, which prohibits investigating U.S. persons based solely on First Amendment activity (including membership in a group).

Great essay from @frank.computer!
"A chair orders you to sit and sit in a particular way, by its design.
Your being is intended through the tool: you are intended to sit still, face forward, and behave. Artificial intelligence works in exactly the same way."

![Four photo panels showing an Sphaerocoris annulus aka the Picasso bug. A beautiful multi-colored shield-backed bug
Sphaerocoris annulus can reach a length of about 15 millimetres (0.59 in).[2][3] The basic color is green, with eleven ring-shaped spots on the scutellum. The colors and the design of these bugs represent a warning to predators. They also emit a noxious odour when disturbed. Main host plants are Gossypium species (Malvaceae), Coffea arabica (Rubiaceae), Citrus species (Rutaceae) and Vernonia amygdalina (Asteraceae).[4] This species reproduces at the beginning of the dry season (November–December). Eggs are laid on the underside of leaves, and nymphs will spend a majority of their time in flowers feeding. Once they molt into adults, however, their feeding becomes more generalized. The full development lasts 56 days.[5][6] Sphaerocoris annulus nymphs are a creamy-white color with black stripes and dots, and gain their colorful spots when they reach maturity.

If you’re doing your work properly, you’ll do it at least 2.5 times.
The first time you build a document, project, character, sound, whatever it may be, it won’t be great. You’ll probably restart from scratch.
The second version, it’s better, but you have to re-iterate half of it.
This is normal.

That would mean literally **ripping up post office parking lots** to auction off assets with no private-sector value.
