The science & politics behind the panic over ultraprocessed foods theconversation.com/the-science-... "...the very definition of ultraprocessed is highly contested." "...scientists remain unconvinced that processing alone can explain why certain foods are associated with poor health."

theconversation.comThe science and politics behind the panic over ultraprocessed foodsThere’s no doubt that the modern food environment needs to be healthier. But are ultraprocessed foods as evil as their reputation suggests?

Just George and Shatner left, now. :(

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

It's really important to pay attention to the fact that Lula beat the fascist candidate not by compromising and trying to meet fascist voters in the middle, but by sticking to his guns, promising prosecutions for election interference, and mobilising his own voters to turn out in greater numbers.

For those in the back, this is a victory for PR. 🥰

The long-serving strongman leader of Serbia, Aleksandar Vucic, has conceded defeat in an election that pitted him and his right-wing party against a diverse student-led opposition movement that spent two years protesting his government.

Do yourself and her a favour and go PATREON Clare. Wait, is that a verb? "Patreon"? You will not regrest patreoning Clare. She would love being patreoned. ... Okay, I've gone too far. But please do sign up. :)

I HAVE A PATREON NOW! 🎉 Hello everyone. It's official: you can now support me and my comedy, if you are able to and wish to. Link to the Patreon will be below, and is also in this video's YouTube description. I'm so excited! It's going to be really fun. Unless you hate jokes. youtu.be/_DFgW0Q_H2E

Really, I don't want to hear that BC voters were SO pissed off about a snap election that they voted out the NDP. Swinging towards racism and fascism is not a reasonable response. The only assumption I can make is that they WANTED this. That's on them. Disappointing. Gird yourselves, Canada.

The Brewers weren't fucking around last night. They care not for your first inning lead, nor your ace on the mound. The Jays could learn some things from this team. #MLB

Also, how did Junior Caminero's screaming at his own players in the dugout work out? Not a fan of histrionics in baseball, unless it's George Bell charging the mound, or George Brett going full conniption.

I'm definitely in favour of going (back) to a 154-game regular season. #MLB

If the Brewers sweep, the season will end on October 27. There have been two other seasons that ended on October 27 in the past 21 years (2020, 2006). The last time a season ended earlier than that was 2005, when the White Sox completed their sweep of the Astros on October 26.

Considering the Leafs don't have a PP yet tonight, that's a SUPER thin call on Cowan. So many ignored infractions against the Oilers. These zebras love them some McDavid. smh

1. I am very tired of being asked to be stupid. I know that is not the most important thing right now. There are many more serious consequences to electing a criminal president who is burning up the economy.

Holy fucking shit, I'm sorry but the absolute gall of these people when they routinely threaten the 51st state BS and openly advocate for Alberta separation, etc. Hoekstra should have been kicked out months ago. Get. Him. Out. www.ctvnews.ca/world/trumps...

Wonder Woman can take on gods, monsters, and just about anything the universe throws at her. But one of her greatest strengths has always been her ability to see the humanity in people who have forgotten how to see it in themselves. Happy 85th anniversary, Diana.

Given this is ICE and White House, I have zero doubts these charges are bullshit, and done specifically to terrorize potential blue voters. Still: Make sure you are registered to vote, and if you can, vote early. And be careful! We no longer live in a free democracy.

Mother Jones@motherjones.com

Months of fears around the use of armed immigration enforcement to affect national elections appear to be coming to fruition. Federal authorities announced the arrest in California of at least 11 people and charges against 28, alleging they registered to vote as noncitizens.
