Ingredients from the BI: spinach, eggplant, tomatoes, milk, cream, onion, ginger, chilis, scallions, turmeric, cloves, coconut oil, lime, cilantro, salt.

I've heard recently that cumin is grown in Hawaii, but haven't been able to track any down... Garlic really needs a frost, I've tried.

Three white bowls filled with: green spinach with chunks of golden cheese; orange lentils (from fresh turmeric) topped with green chili slices, scallions and garlic; brown eggplant with bits of red tomato and flecks of cilantro.

Indian again! Saag Paneer, Baingan Bharta, Tarka Dal. All ingredients (save red lentils, cumin and garlic) from the Big Island, some from my garden.

Maybe, but 20ml/day would cost substantially more than Ozempic. 🤣

Obesity Rate Declining in U.S. The U.S. obesity rate is showing signs of abating from its 2022 high. GLP-1 antidiabetic injectables used for weight loss may be playing a role.

1/8th of America is on a GLP drug, double the fraction from just last year.

Apple Cider Vinegar For Weight Loss - A Study That May Never Have Happened At All Some fascinating insights into the world of scientific integrity.

The importance of scientific sleuthing (although, why was this paper published at all?)

Jerry Fodor · The Trouble with Psychological Darwinism

Jerry Fodor on Steven Pinker! (and, incidentally, Plotkin)

"Fight! Fight! Fight!"

Both of them are so spectacularly wrong about so many important things....

I do have to admit Fodor does a masterful job exposing the gapping hole at the center of Pinker's soul.

Thanks for the tip, just did the same. Gave 'em a little boost, too.

The Trump Media & Technology Group, which controls the social media platform, on Tuesday announced it would partner with Crypto.com to introduce “Truth Predict”, which would allow users “to react instantly to developments in major current events”.  Crypto.com previously donated $11mn to Trump causes. Earlier this year the Securities and Exchange Commission closed an investigation into the company, and on Friday, it announced that it applied for a US bank charter. In August, TMTG also signed a multibillion-dollar deal to buy Cronos, the tokens issued by Crypto.com, which sent their price soaring. “For too long, global elites have closely controlled these markets — with Truth Predict, we’re democratising information and empowering everyday Americans to harness the wisdom of the crowd, turning free speech into actionable foresight,” said Devin Nunes, TMTG’s head.

Excuse me? So the company the President currently owns is teaming up with a cryptocurrency company to create a prediction market, which will take bets... on things the President himself has quite a lot of control over?

Gosh, I'm sure nothing bad will happen.

I know other media outlets around the country are running with "diseased monkeys with COVID, herpes and hepatitis are loose in Mississippi!"

And yes, it makes great clickbait. Those posts have thousands of RTs.

But it's just not accurate. Our factual report by @nickjudin.bsky.social:

Seattlelites: the arboretum is lit! And worth visiting this week

"Flatbread" is a funny word for that one. How about "Pancakes"? Like crepes, pajeong, bǐngzǐ, vitumbua...

Very interesting. I'm on the board of my local public library, and will bring this to them.

It’s pumpkin harvest time, and at my house, that means kaddo

For Natives in more rural areas, there are food distribution centers for commodities which low-income Natives rely on because they are situated in food deserts. These centers will also NOT be distributing food, so this isn't just a scatter of individuals in need but entire communities.

It was a great venue! I think it closed in 1981. Bands I saw there include Devo, the Circle Jerks, the Runaways, Van Halen, Cheap Trick, the Dead Boys, the Dickies, Blondie, AC/DC, Quiet Riot, Tom Robinson Band, the Stranglers, and probably a bunch of others I've forgotten.

I was 16 and a frequent denizen of the Whisky, Starwood, Madam Wong's, etc. Went to any show I could get into (not all allowed under 21). Didn't know how good I had it!

I was at that show!

Important paper, although I'm afraid the (good!) solutions proposed will not be sufficient to solve the problem. I'm surprised financial disclosure requirements (as biomedical journals require) aren't already the norm!

Heathrow says, "hold my beer"

Alliums are the phylogenetic opposite of brassica oleracea: every little difference signals a different species...

Fun thread!

Global sitings of One Piece straw hats suggest the answer is yes.

No one "let" Murdoch and Musk in, but their campaign of bitterness is making a smoldering wreck of what was once the hope of the world.

Primary, yes. But when you need a citation, there are often several reasonable options. Insider citation networks also unfairly harm outsiders, and it’s a real problem. Diversify when you can.

I want more people to care that SNAP benefits are being cut off on November 1. 40% of SNAP beneficiaries are children. This is callous and vile.

Really can't put into words the kind of fear we felt this week and at the same time how proud I am of @analog-ashley.bsky.social forever speaking publicly and courageously about the importance of this work. You only see the smallest fraction of what scientists like her are going through.
