The podcast @maintenancephase.bsky.social did a really good episode on ultra-processed foods and how no one can even agree on what that means. This is somehow gonna translate into kids paying more and the food being worse.

The Washington Post@washingtonpost.com

Lawmakers in at least 32 states have introduced legislation to limit or eliminate ultra-processed foods in school meals, according to a nonprofit. An alliance between the right-wing Make America Healthy Again movement and progressives backs the effort.

Yglesias in a nutshell: My "I have no strongly held beliefs t-shirt is raising a lot of questions already answered by shirt."

A helpfully clear exchange here Hasan: "So your argument is that [Minnesota ICE protesters] should stay at home because immigration is a salient issue for Donald Trump. Opposing ICE is only going to help Trump. Wait until we win the election in 2028." Yglesias: "Yes that is what I would have said"

‘Pure arrogance’: anger in Finland as Google illegally fells 250,000 trees for datacentre

theguardian.com‘Pure arrogance’: anger in Finland as Google illegally fells 250,000 trees for datacentreCompany ordered to stop work at two sites in country, which has found itself at forefront of tech firms’ latest push Behind a wire fence lies a vast gaping wound of earth. Before Google’s arrival a few months ago, an estimated quarter of a million trees occupied the 330 hectares (815 acres) of forest near the town of Muhos in rural northern Finland. Now they are all gone. After the tech company illegally stripped the entire area to build a datacentre – taking even the top soil with it – all that remains is a vast expanse of mud indented with the trail marks of machinery, puddles and mounds of earth, roots and branches. Residents say that brown water flowing off the site is going into a stream that feeds the Oulujoki River. Continue reading...

The 4TB Samsung 9100 Pro that I bought barely 3 months ago went from $800 to currently $1359, both “on sale.”

Musk absolutely believes Curtis Yarvin’s “Cathedral” concept is real. DOGE gutted USAID in part because they genuinely believed that’s who was paying the “paid protesters” and was part of this institutional machine that keptbtheir goals from being accomplished.

Another Guardians season where we overperformed relative to our roster/spend so the front office and ownership won’t feel the need to do anything.

Unbelievable that Rocchio led this team in RBIs and consistently goes down in 3 pitches like a fucking chump this postseason.

This is partly just frustration from these last two games but there are shockingly few guys on this Guardians roster that I would not cut bait on.

The cold air is just killing some of the fly balls tonight. Off the bat I thought Lowe hit one out just now.

I say this as someone already drove up to Cleveland and will have the drive back to Columbus, it is insane that MLB hasn’t postponed this ALCS game to tomorrow already. It is pouring rain 90 minutes before first pitch and shows no sign of stopping.

Some Accenture employees were spending $1,000 a month on Claude. Now, the consulting giant is curbing that to $29 a month, while, of course, promoting AI to its clients. @evystadium.bsky.social has more. Scoop by @josephcox.bsky.social: www.404media.co/accenture-te...

The AT&T fiber commercial where these kids are going to teach their parents how to game and the game appears to be League of Legends is unintentionally very funny to me. Ah yes, let's introduce parents to one of the most toxic gaming communities there is!

Angel Martinez’s brutal postseason continues. Led the team in homers and 3rd best average and now 0-16 in the postseason with one run where he got on base by getting hit by a pitch.

I am not overly familiar with the Rays roster but dead god Mesa Jr has a cannon out there in right field.
