It doesn't look good. We can take a small crumb of comfort that emissions per capita have flat-lined (probably peaked).

Zohran Mamdani seals remarkable victory - but real challenges await After entering the race largely unnoticed, the new mayor of New York City can expect to face serious scrutiny in office.

Epic victory for Mamdani. Some glimmers of hope.

Train hero who saved passengers during attack named The family of rail worker Samir Zitouni say they are

We need more people like Samir Zitouni in this country, showing selflessness and courage in the most extreme circumstances. I hope he can pull through and recover from this horrific attack.

And maybe also mention that magnets aren't affected by water, and that price reductions of 400% are meaningless nonsense that indicates the speaker doesn't understand numbers.

This *is* the new golden age of the USA right?

I agree it's a really poor study. We already have evidence that consuming processed foods has negative health outcomes. If people want to test whether consumption of UPF has significantly different effects, it should be compared with consuming processed foods (compare NOVA groups 3 and 4).

The NOVA definitions are what almost everyone uses to define UPF. There are 4 groups: minimally processed, processed culinary ingredient, processed food and ultra processed food. But details of working out what is UPF are not precise and are somewhat subjective so yes, there's a definition problem.

White sugar is not UPF according to NOVA definitions, nor is salted butter.

There is zero evidence showing that consumption of UPF causes negative health outcomes. Various studies show correlations, but the definitions of UPF are so broad and vague, these studies have little value. A study also shows that professionals in nutrition do not agree on what foods are UPF.

WOW: The White House says the president's MAIN PRIORITY is his BALLROOM. SNAP is ending. Subsidies for health care are gong to double and in some instances quadruple plan premiums. The government is shut down. The cost of living is through the roof. And his priority is his ballroom.

This ongoing charade by the speaker of the house, where he continues to come up with yet more lame excuses not to swear this lady into congress, is a disgrace.

Sure, that's a completely normal and healthy thing for a president to do.

NEW: Police knew a Kremlin spy ring recruited former leader of Reform Wales at least 3 years ago.

They emit about 20% less CO2 than petrol or diesel cars. A useful reduction, even though small. But the fact that the real world emission stats are very different to the lab results is the main story here.

I live in the UK, not in the USA.

We need consequences. This guy earned them.

Though sending the US military to fight US citizens in their own cities is totally cool.

A screenshot of an X post by Gavin Newsom (@GavinNe ..., 1 day ago) listing the last three government shutdowns: October 1, 2025 under President Trump, December 22, 2018 under President Trump, and January 20, 2018 under President Trump, with the comment "Almost like there is a pattern here." The post includes a profile picture of Gavin Newsom speaking.

Gavin Newsom with the receipts!

29 ‘missing’ Hen Harriers & nearly 40 birds of prey poisoned, trapped or shot in Yorkshire Dales National Park since 2015 Media attention has been drawn to the Yorkshire Dales National Park this week, following the RSPB’s press release on the suspicious disappearance of a satellite-tagged Hen Harrier named &#821…

29 'missing' Hen Harriers & nearly 40 birds of prey poisoned, trapped or shot in Yorkshire Dales National Park since 2015.

Not so much a National Park - more of a National Disgrace.

There are some UPF items with many preservatives, emulsifiers etc but there are many UPF items with just one "questionable" ingredient (e.g yeast extract, concentrated fruit juice). Treating these as if they have similarly negative impacts is unlikely to provide useful evidence for better health.

If health risks related to UPF are to be well understood, we desperately need a definition of UPF that people can agree on. Current NOVA definitions are too vague and subjective. A study on professionals working in nutrition showed major disagreements on how they categorised foods using NOVA.

Trump orders deployment of troops to Portland and authorises 'full force' The president says the latest move to send troops to a major US city is

Trump randomly decides to send troops to Portland based on something he saw on TV last night. No, really.

It came up from something TACO man saw on TV last night. No, that's actually what he said. Insane.

Mornin, @thehill.com

Looks bad, no wonder Trump is worried.

Fucking hell.
