Junk Nutrition
A mix of good and bad dietary advice.
Lot of junk nutritional science in this (e.g., seed oils, including canola good, saturated fat bad). https://t.co/pRSKIsogcm

"Since the world’s best diets consistently derive 10 percent or less of their calories from saturated fat, raising the average amount of saturated fat in your diet makes no sense."
Anyone see the logical fallacy here? It's begging the question of what's "best." https://t.co/pRSKIsogcm

Coffee
One of the reasons I drink it; it may reduce coronary artery disease.
Not reasons I drink it? The taste, the after taste, and its affect on my alertness or mood in general, which is zero.
Vascular Health In Mice
Rejuvenation through dietary supplements.
I’m already taking NAD+.
Male Cyborgs
#ProTip: If you want to try one of these, you are not a male heterosexual. You are bisexual, and have been behaving as het to get along in society.
I don’t have zero interest in this. I have extreme negative interest in this.
[Update a while later]
No one who describes themselves as “bi-curious” is heterosexual, by definition. Articles like this annoy me in the extreme, because they promote the nonsense that everyone is gender and sexuality fluid.
[Monday-morning update]
The case of the missing link has been solved.
Autoimmune Diseases
We’re gaining a new understanding of them. Faster, please.
Beyond Faraday
This seems like a huge breakthrough: A radically new type of miniaturized inductor.
Health Advocates
Are they finally wising up to risk?
If so, it probably won’t last long, based on history.
Earth Surface Temperatures
Anthony Watts has been vindicated after all these years.
Mars And SLS
I really find Chris Carberry’s op-ed on SLS incomprehensible. Oh, I don’t mean I don’t understand it, it just seems disconnected with reality, and the interests of anyone seriously interested in seeing humans go to Mars. He speaks about SLS as thought it has kind of reality, and actual utility. To me, a sane Mars organization would be screaming bloody murder at the waste of money to the detriment of hardware needed to actually get to Mars.
[Thursday-afternoon update]
Thoughts on the ever-receding SLS, from Bob Zimmerman.
