Yes—but with a big caveat. Avocado pits contain compounds that show anti-inflammatory potential in lab studies, but there’s no solid proof they’re safe or beneficial for people to eat. Human research is lacking, so I wouldn’t treat them as a proven health food. Avocado flesh is the safer bet.

Stop tossing your avocado pits!

Wist je dat er bij één club in Pijnacker 20.000 kopjes koffie per jaar worden gedronken? ☕ Dit is het verhaal achter de koffieleverancier: Meer Smaak. 🎥video: youtu.be/ehCuTa2U-ZQ

19 years ago, a high school basketball coach put his team manager into a game for the final four minutes. The kid had never played a single minute of competitive basketball in his life. He scored 20 points. Jason McElwain was diagnosed with severe autism at age two. He didn’t speak until he was five. He couldn’t chew solid food until he was six. He wore a nappy for most of his early childhood. As a baby, he was rigid, wouldn’t make eye contact, and hid in corners away from other children. He tried out for his school basketball team every year and got cut every time. Too small. Too slight. Barely 5’6 and about 54 kilograms. But he loved the game so much that his mum called the school and asked if there was any way he could be involved. The coach created a team manager role for him. For three years, McElwain showed up to every practice and every game. He wore a shirt and tie on match days. He ran drills, handed out water, kept stats, and cheered every basket like he’d scored it himself. On 15 February 2006, the last home game of his final school year, the coach let him suit up in a proper jersey and sit on the bench. With four minutes left and a comfortable lead, the coach sent him in. His first shot missed. His second missed. Then something shifted. He hit a three-pointer. Then another. Then another. His teammates stopped shooting entirely and just kept passing him the ball. He hit six three-pointers and a two-pointer. 20 points in four minutes. The highest scorer in the game. When the final buzzer went, the entire crowd rushed the court and lifted him onto their shoulders. His mum tapped the coach on the shoulder, in tears. “This is the nicest gift you could have ever given my son.” McElwain won the ESPY Award for Best Moment in Sports that year, beating out some of the biggest names in professional sport. He’s 36 now. He works at a local supermarket, coaches basketball, has run 17 marathons including five Boston Marathons, and travels the country speaking about never giving up. When asked about that night, his coach still gets emotional. “For him to come in and seize the moment like he did was certainly more than I ever expected. I was an emotional wreck.”

@robertoblake YouTube Spaces gets my up-vote! (and Live streaming just seems like such a no-brainer for youtube) But first and foremost, add the ability to upload customizable thumbnails to Shorts - pretty please.

If I were CEO I wouldn’t bring back the Dislike Counter. But I would bring back Live Subscriber Counts and let other tools access the real-time subscriber count numbers going up and down. I’d also prioritize the following: Massive overhaul and improvements to Live Streaming including the Live Stream Chat Features. I would bring back a dedicated YouTube Gaming Page to the platform. I would relaunch YouTube Spaces again for any creator with 10,000 or more subscribers, giving them access to high end production equipment and sets and YouTube spaces would also do workshops consistently to help small creators grow and established creators thrive. And we would expand this to the Midwest and South and not just LA and NYC. There would be a 50 state initiative for YouTube Spaces in the U.S. And we would bring them back abroad as well with over 300 Hundred YouTube Spaces worldwide. I’d create an affiliate commission for YouTube Premium to encourage creators to get their audience to signup… every YouTube Premium subscription would earn that content creator a $3/month commission for the lifetime of that YouTube Premium account… And that would be on top of the Premium Revenue Pool Creators already get. I would buy a company that handles Giveaways and integrate it directly into the platform so creators know they can do a giveaway to their audience without 3rd party software and would know they are not breaking the rules. I’d buy LICKD to make music licensing much simpler for Creators to use popular songs in their content from now on. I would I would improve YouTube Live Studio to standup to Twitch Studio and TikTok Live Studio so you never need 3rd party software to do a custom layout YouTube live stream. You should be able to do everything you need with nothing more than a YouTube account. I’d also massively overhaul the YouTube Video Editor and integrate the features from the Free YouTube Create App and Sync them. Meaning YouTube is all you ever need to make content if you can’t afford software or don’t want to use another tool. Finally I would bring back YouTube Rewind but also turn it into an Award Show that celebrates content creators, and I would invite long standing legacy creators to make up the board for it and be the judges. Imagine being an up and coming creator and getting an award presented by the YouTuber who inspired you half your life and that you grew up watching… So those would be the 10 big plays I would make as YouTube CEO. Dislike counter can stay in the trash bin. I’d bring back the things that made YouTube unique and great and build on top of that.

#Kingfisher (#ijsvogel) pictures

Spotted a beautiful kingfisher / ijsvogel on a dog walk, ran home for my Nikon D500 + Sigma 50-500, came back, and caught this amazing dive on camera. Fully submerged, then up again for a split second before flying off down the canal. Pure wild beauty. Video: youtube.com/shorts/O6qjJ0p… 🐦 #kingfisher #ijsvogel #wildlife

What a great quote, Roberto! "Just remember… so of the smartest people you ever met are barely employed and can barely take care of themselves…"

People don’t believe AI is all powerful and going to take every job if they ever actually tried building tools with it. Don’t get me wrong, it’s very, very good at a great many things. But the amount of correction and handholding I have to do and the amount of times I have to correct it, is like having a very gifted, emotionally stunted employee at the end of the day that can just do things at 100x speed but with only 88% accuracy. Just remember… so of the smartest people you ever met are barely employed and can barely take care of themselves… And people you know with an average IQ who are smart at one thing and charming, basically run the world… AI is good at speed, scale and logic… But those things aren’t a miracle cure all that doesn’t require an adult to make sure they are being applied correctly. AI has more ADHD and shiny object syndrome in its DNA than you think and it gets off track very easily. You’d be less impressed by it if you spent 500 hours using it. I have spent THOUSANDS of hours with it… because I have been using it several hours a day for years now, with intention.

Agree. But also now YT is giving way more real estate to Shorts, taking away from the amount of long form recommendations on any given persons YT feed. That all said, I still feel like the new algorithm is... what's the good word.. intermittent. Hard to out my finger on it. Maybe just me!

@Pijnacker01 @robertoblake From my experience shorts has a different audience they normally dont watch long form horizontal but some do vertical streams

Long form YouTube isn’t dead. It’s moved from phones to TV. And a lot of Creators can’t handle that this is where they are losing to Short Form. They are still operating under the idea of making quirky 3-5 minute high effort videos is 20-100 hours of editing behind them… They are making content for a version of the YouTube community that is no longer the majority… People watch long form on the largest screen possible. Not the screen closest to them. They will watch/listen to a podcast or information video live stream on their phone. But if you want them to watch long form entertainment, you need to be making it for TV…

@robertoblake That’s true, change has winners and losers. News and politics makes sense.

@Pijnacker01 It’s not hurting it’s different, and some people never like change. You know who isn’t struggling with long form views at all? News and Politics channels… which are now the most profitable niche on YouTube…

@BakeEurope Ja, with my balkenbrij! youtu.be/AVSOtNDVOtw?is…

In the Netherlands 🇳🇱, people sometimes eat cake for breakfast. It’s called ontbijtkoek, a spiced rye loaf sweetened with dark basterdsuiker (a type of brown sugar) and flavored with cloves, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg. Traditionally it’s sliced thick and eaten with butter alongside coffee. I could get used to this for breakfast! What about you?
