Crime Pays but Botany Doesn't is one of the best YouTube channels I've ever seen. Joey Santore is whip smart and hilarious

You're right, "food influencers" and the "Manosphere" at large have been spouting nonsense about plant oils for a long time. That realm is rife with pseudoscience from people who think you don't eat enough meat and that eating vegetables makes you weak. They try to sell strength to people by speaking confidently about being strong while also making shit up and lying about it.

Elizabeth Warren ran for the nomination and lost, and gave a full-throated endorsement of Biden after she withdrew

The right has started to eat itself alive. Only the most "ideologically pure" remain, and ideological purity in MAGA terms means not trusting anything except whatever they make up in the moment, which leads them to not trust each other.

I'd be really interested to see the specifics of how that data is collected, but also fucking duh recent college grads are underemployed.

You'll notice only the last seven words are actually a quote. Almost certainly this is a mashup of expressing concern that Iran will attack Israel and a statement that US intelligence thinks Iran would choose military targets.

Not feeling depressed (euthymia) and feeling depressed (dysthymia) are emotional states that can be influenced by but exist independently of someone's circumstances. I encounter people who are homeless a lot in my work, and a good chunk of them are euthymic af, while there are a ton of people who have all their needs met and who are dysthymic af.

Emotional states have a lot more to do with genetic predisposition and learned behavior than most people would care to acknowledge, rather than situational factors
