@nebelcanal @J37746526 This is just made up.

@J37746526 Any standard you can evaluate in chicken breast (TVC, TBARS, all sorts of oxidation metrics, biogenic amines, pH) between 5 - 50x worse if measured at the same point-of-sale both years, even if you were somehow able to set aside that the 2026 meat is minimum 48 - 72 hours older.

Underdiscussed is that it is significantly more dangerous and "taxing" on your body today to eat 5 day old chicken breast you bought at a store and prepared at home versus, say, 2018.

@anishmoonka The side effects of chronic obesity, heart disease, alcohol and drug addiction are FAR greater than those of GLP-1s.

Take too much Ozempic, and your brain stops wanting things: food, sex, even the urge to get out of bed. People end up in hospital beds for days, staring at the ceiling, feeling nothing. The medical name for that state is anhedonia, and it tells you how the drug actually works. Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro all belong to the same drug family, called GLP-1s. They kill hunger. They also quiet almost every other craving your brain produces. Inside your brain there is a small region that makes a chemical called dopamine. Dopamine is your brain’s “this is worth wanting” chemical, the reason you reach for one more bite of pasta, refresh your inbox one more time, or pick up your phone every few minutes. GLP-1 drugs reach that region and turn the dopamine down. The right dose dampens the loudest craving first: food. Take too much, and the volume drops on everything else, sex, exercise, work, even the urge to get out of bed in the morning. Anhedonia is the medical name for not feeling pleasure from anything at all. It looks identical to deep depression. The good news is that anhedonia from GLP-1s has an off switch: once the drug clears your system, the wanting comes back. The FDA has logged over 1,150 reports of bad reactions tied to compounded GLP-1s through July 2025. These are custom-mixed versions made by smaller pharmacies. In many of those cases, patients accidentally took five to twenty times their prescribed dose. The cause is usually confusion between milliliters and units when measuring out a dose with an insulin syringe, since compounded versions come in plain vials instead of the pre-filled pens that brand-name Ozempic uses. About 15 million Americans currently use a GLP-1, roughly one in eight adults. Around 75% of them eventually quit. Cost and side effects are the top reasons. A growing number describe a third reason that patients call “the lights dimming,” a flat, gray feeling across the whole day that doctors now recognize as anhedonia caused by the drug itself. This same mechanism has caught pharma’s attention. Eli Lilly is now running two large clinical trials with a combined 2,200 patients to see if a GLP-1 drug can treat alcohol addiction. The bet is that the same brain switch that turns off cravings for food can also turn off cravings for alcohol, cocaine, nicotine, and gambling. A 2026 psychiatry review put it bluntly: doctors should be treating these as psychiatric drugs, because that is what they have turned out to be. The drug works by quieting your brain’s signal that something is worth wanting. A normal dose turns the volume down on food cravings. Push the dose too high, and everything else goes quiet too.

@gr617_josh @JoCote3030 @esidery Fair

@DanNewman2011 @JoCote3030 @esidery I’d rather have Jaylen brown lol

The Thunder only need to decline Isaiah Hartenstein’s team option this summer to become apron-compliant for a Giannis Antetokounmpo trade: Bucks receive: Chet Holmgren, Lu Dort, 2026 1st OKC receives: Giannis Giannis could be what’s needed for OKC against Victor Wembanyama.

@JoCote3030 @esidery It doesn’t matter what they demand if there’s no other offers as good.

@esidery Bucks would demand Jaylin Williams/Ajay + a ton of picks which I’d still do if I’m OKC! Nobody is trading a generational champion superstar for soft a#% Chet & to pay Lu Dort to be on a non playoff team!!

@mapleblooded @JeremiahDJohns They were considerably rarer and less diverse options. There is simply no comparison to eating out in 1986 and 2026.

@JeremiahDJohns If restaurants are a luxury how were they sustainable during the 80s and 90s? Stop perpetuating the myth that Boomers didn't eat out or restaurants didn't open until dinner.

The biggest thing happening behind the scenes in the "expensive lunch" discourse is that Zoomers are eating out at ridiculously high rates. It's a silent assumption for a ton of young people that restaurants are a basic necessity, not an occasional treat.

@WolvesInVI The modal outcome for any draft pick is a non-starter and likely plays less than 6 years. An elite 6 man is likely a 50-75 player and before than most starters. If that performance were guaranteed it’s more valuable than many #1 pics even if you lose all-nba potential

Hypothetically if you could guarantee that a draft prospect would be the best 6th man in the nba for 10 years, how high in the draft would you take them

@subtlefps @_JasonLT Giannis doesn’t play anymore.

@_JasonLT Giannis and Ant would like a word

West teams need a great center to hang with Chet/Hartenstein in the paint, but oh by the way that same guy probably can’t play against Wemby. Good luck!

@DamienPetersNBA They want Dort and Caruso to slap, punch and shove VW every play but only get called 10% of them. Bigs don’t get that latitude.

The NBA is in a weird place where a 7’1” star who finished 2nd in Defensive Player of the Year voting doesn’t guard the opponents best player at 7’5”. We all understand the logic behind it, but in theory it doesn’t make any sense. I felt the same when Anthony Davis, one of the all-time great defenders in league history would not take the matchup on Nikola Jokic when it mattered most. I do wonder in some ways whether we are overcomplicating things schematically.

@TommyBaileys @ianlcohen The Band.

@ianlcohen Fugazi is the only two singer band where you show up for one guy (Ian) and the other guy is cooler. Heatmiser, Uncle Tupelo, The Libertines, even The Beatles. It's never happened elsewhere.

"MacKaye listened to many types of music, but was especially fond of mainstream hard rock such as Ted Nugent and Queen."

@VokerOnAir @NBACobwebs @kaj33 I mean that as it should be viewed as a manly meal by ingredients

@DanNewman2011 @NBACobwebs @kaj33 Good point

Denver fans publicly announce Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s dietary choices during Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals. Abdul-Jabbar (who later admitted he does, in fact, EAT QUICHE) scored 27 PTS. Lakers 136, Nuggets 118 May 17, 1985.

@VokerOnAir @NBACobwebs @kaj33 It’s literally cream, eggs, meat and cheese.

@NBACobwebs @kaj33 I mean, what’s wrong with eating Quiche?

@entirelyuseles @mattyglesias Perhaps rethink your understanding of “rights”

@mattyglesias I don't think you have a right to say that they were less happy people (not living with them, at the time), but that might be true anyway. Just as it might be true right now. It is not unlikely, since the hunter gatherers were far more adapted to their life than we are to ours.

@The0_o7 @MAGAMentum To your point, see Texas 2006

@MAGAMentum Risky to have that many competitive seats

NEW 6D / OLD 10D New map has 10R seats that are under R+5

@16barsgame “Fat Boys are Back”

Be honest... First rap album you ever owned. 💿 Not the best. The FIRST one.

@smod4real And it’s either all rock’n’roll or it’s all sub-genres. Grunge, like glam and metal, is just another sub-genre. Distinctions without differences.

One cannot understand the concept of grunge, without first understanding the concepts of hair metal and glam rock.

@1mfslw @Ahcenelife007 Shaq’s prime was well over when Nash won. It was Kobe, Duncan, Dirk, & KG’s prime however.

Once upon a time Nash could win two in a row in the middle of Kobe and Shaq’s primes. D Rose could win in the middle of LeBron’s. Russ could win one as a sixth seed in the middle of Steph’s due to narrative and PRA. Those days are gone though. Jokic will always have the better advanced stats as an offense only player. Wemby will always have the out of this world two way impact. Shai will always have the efficiency and record. The concept of voter fatigue for Jokic or the idea of letting players that deserve it get one due to narrative etc just does not seem to exist anymore. Even if Pelinka has the turnaround of a lifetime and pulls a 60 win roster out of his ass Luka won’t be as favored by stat nerd voters as much as the others. Solid chance he goes down as the best player to never win one. He’ll have like 8 1st team all NBAs and multiple scoring titles and still never have a legitimate case and years from now people will look back and be confused.

I m not too upset at Luka being left out of the MVP finalists thing. I m at the acceptance stage now. They ll never give him an MVP for carrying or great numbers or even a top 3-4 seed. Unfortunately the only way Luka can win an MVP is by having a season where he looks like

@JoeMobes90 @ReubenR80027912 👆🏻

@ReubenR80027912 There was also a narrative that began to take root on left-wing Twitter before his debate with Trump that from a legislative accomplishment and policy view, Biden wiped the floor with Obama which no doubt irritated them too.

My guess: the Obama Boys spent his presidency pinning any of their failures on “Biden-type Ds” They thought themselves enlightened visionaries; held back only by dinosaur thinking of the Biden/HRCs of the world. HRC’s loss perversely *reinforced* this idea (1/2)

@S_U_Network Steph Curry has a lack of first team all-NBA awards and top 3 MVP finishes that distinguish him from the highest tier. Contemporaneously, people viewed Curry as much more on par with Harden, Westbrook, and Lillard than is acknowledged now. That means something.

True or False: You rank Tim Duncan higher than Stephen Curry among the greatest players in NBA history.

@20th_Centurygal Rollins Stones w/ Mick Taylor

In your opinion Which band actually got better after a lineup change?

@20th_Centurygal Neil Young & Crazy Horse in 1996

Who’s the loudest band you’ve ever seen live?
