My most anti-Zionist take is that I like Ashkenazi food.
Matthew Zeitlin@MattZeitlin
They keep Sephardic Jews a secret from Ashkenazi children, not because of racism, but because otherwise the children would expect good food at holidays

@jodiecongirl Mostly yes, but voluntary food restriction to lose weight has a long-term failure rate of over 90%. Matthews' comment is akin to telling a depressed person they could think happy thoughts instead of taking meds.

not to step into this hornet's nest, and I have no opinion on GLP-1s, but is this actually true? in other words, are the drugs just an appetite tool (affecting calories in) or are they also affecting metabolic processes (changing calories out)?
Mike Matthews@muscleforlife
Tip: Don’t tell people on Ozempic that if they ate the same amount of food without the Ozempic, they'd lose the same amount of weight. They get very angry.

@millie_hillie @MediumSizeMeech When my grandfather was literally on his deathbed, a nurse came by and put her hand under his gown to check something. He opened one eye, looked at her and said, "I pay cash".
English
@MediumSizeMeech Old men hitting on you is like a nursing student rite of passage. You’re helping drugged up old men (and women!!!) who can’t pee on their own get around. Half the time they make a gross joke to make it feel less awkward for them. That’s just real life!

@LoonieLunas Do the kids these days just have no idea how to watch TV?

i think the 3 newbie arcs being a person who didn’t want to be in the ED and sticking to that despite a natural gift for it, a man who wanted to be great in the ED but was crushed by it, and a young girl who was deeply traumatized but still left with hope, meant a lot actually
English
Something people don't talk about so much these days is that in post-WW2 America, people took Freudian psychoanalysis very seriously for some reason.

@jbarro Sadly, veterinary care in the US has become a grift. Thanks to companies like VCA, a lot of vets focus on squeezing as much money out of pet owners as possible. Just part of the general enshittification of our society.

"Spinal surgery for dogs is now a luxury for the rich" doesn't have the same ring as certain other affordability concerns
Helaine Olen@helaineolen
My latest for @NYMag: The rise of pet medical tourism. Fed up with high veterinary prices in the US, pet "parents" in Southern California are heading to Mexico. "A spinal surgery for a pet in America can cost $12,000 to $18,000. Even rich people can’t afford that.”

@SamMacD86958750 @sarhanis @dilanesper Because it's good for the sport. It opens competition up to a wider group of people, encourages more people to participate and generates more interest. Watching the hulk-sized guys lift is impressive, but seeing the smaller guys compete is also fun.
English
@sarhanis @dilanesper Why are there weight classes in power lifting?
English
this is the "Michael Phelps argument". "Every athlete has genetic advantages. Why does this one matter?"
And the answer is it's the advantage we defined the category around. If we defined a swimming category Michael Phelps doesn't fall within, he can't compete either.
thereisnobeth@thereisnobeth
importantly this will also be used to exclude intersex women from competing bc we've arbitrarily decided that genetic advantage is cheating but all the other ones Olympians tend to have are fine

@jessesingal Every day these assholes just keep telling on themselves.

@littlesadsailor He's trying to help her and she's lying to him.
English
yet this a terrible example? dana dosed that patient without an order and also clearly punched him? which is something that needs to be investigated as it’s illegal

yes, robby is going through burnout and mental health issues. yes, robby is being unempathetic to his staff and making his ER an unsafe environment. both things can be true.

@hogster @ErikBootsma I'd like the one on the left a lot more if it wasn't gray. Some splashes of color and it would be fine
English
@ErikBootsma I don’t hate either of them. If anything I prefer the one on the left. But a huge part of it is how high quality is the build.

A recent post on LinkedIn summarizes what is wrong with architecture
Architect proudly posts picture of grey boxes with garages facing the street as progress.
Critic posts traditional alternative with (W COLOR!)
Architect: "We're maximizing space for living not fakery!"

@mattyglesias @aoxamaxoa I love Obama, but his Ed Department did a lot a stupid shit.

@LemonLymancom Vinick was religious man all his life and never read the bible until his wife gave him one?
English
21 years ago today, "In God We Trust" aired on TV and Arnold Vinick gave one of the greatest speeches about politics and religion.
Wonderful performance by Alan Alda

@Remnicore_ They made some films using one of the most popular IPs in the world. A majority of the fans of that IP didn't like those films. Somehow this is the fans' fault.

I showed my gf TLJ last month and briefed her on all this. Her reaction made me realize that the most confusing part of Star Wars for first-time viewers isn’t understanding the lore. It’s trying to understand the psychology of the average Star Wars fan.

Kelly Marie Tran reflects on the backlash she faced for THE LAST JEDI nearly 10 years after its release. “I will say, when I think about that time, which was ten years ago now, the thing that I think I didn't understand was that it wasn't my fault. My first reaction was to internalize everything that I was receiving. And use it as evidence that I wasn't supposed to be there... If it happened to me now as someone who has been through ten years of therapy and joined support groups and done all this work on myself, I think that I would have had a very different experience.” (Source: cbr.com/kelly-marie-tr…)

@TheCinesthetic If people don't want to go see your movie, nobody is going to stop them.
English
The Last Duel (2021) was well reviewed but only made about $30 million on a $100 million budget. Ridley Scott blamed “millennials,” saying they “don’t ever want to be taught anything unless it’s on the phone.”

@TheOmniLiberal Arafat was never going to accept any deal. He knew that if he did he'd be assasinated.
English
The underlying claim by Clinton is absolutely true. He tried harder than almost anyone to move both sides to a peaceful agreement, but Arafat wasn't interested. The entire Arab world shook their head in disbelief when he walked away from the discussions.
