Is It Aging, or Is It ADHD? Middle-aged Americans are considering a new possible explanation for their slowing brain.

Realizing that your brain is slowing down can be jarring, but some older adults are asking doctors a new question: Am I just getting old, or do I have ADHD? @yeahyeahyasmin.bsky.social reports:

Why the Trump Administration Is Obsessed With Whole Milk Will the dairy wars ever end?

What a lede from @yeahyeahyasmin.bsky.social: β€œMilk is mundane in most contexts, but you can’t help noticing when it is smeared across the upper lips of America’s government officials.”

By not allowing the sale of hunted venison, much of the United States is allowing good meat to go to waste. @yeahyeahyasmin.bsky.social tried to buy some: theatln.tc/yH2EhOf5

Can Jollibee Beat American Fast Food at Its Own Game? A fast-growing Filipino chain is serving burgers and chicken that seem like typical American fareβ€”until you taste them.

"In the Philippines, Jollibee is an institution; in America, it’s mostly just another chicken restaurant, and may never be destined to be anything more."

The Trump Administration Has a New Plan for Gaza The U.S. wants to build housing for those displaced by the war, but not everyone is on board.

astounding reporting from @hana-kiros.bsky.social on the US-led plan to build temporary housing for displaced Gazans and its potentially permanent consequences.

"It’s unclear if there was any consultation at all with any Palestinian."
