I watched a video where a health educator was appropriately doing a takedown of a scaremonger video where a guy was shitting on all of the "crap" we put in rice.
The crap: folate, two forms of vitamin B and iron
I understand not knowing stuff, I don't understand not being curious enough to google

She was great! She did a great job of explaining the nutrient, when and why it was added to grains (always to get rid of a disease that most of us have not heard of because the fortification worked)

Yes! People who pride themselves on being shameless norm-breakers often depend the most on norms… or, on all the other people nearby being too stunned or norm-compliant to resist.
You have to be as defiant and brazen as they are, but in defense of decency. You can be pleasant but you don’t budge.

NEW: It’s not just readers that suffer due to Harlequin’s mismanagement of the' Heated Rivalry' books. Reid misses out on royalties, & booksellers miss out on commissions—which is especially painful during the holiday season when many small businesses make the bulk of their money.
was ‘heated rivalry’ failed by its publisher?
everyone's devouring the new TV series, so why can't people buy a copy of the book the show is based on?

Trump said the boat strikes were about drugs. Now he seizes an oil tanker. What is this really about? Regime change. Whatever you think about Maduro, Trump has no authorization to start a war with Venezuela. Americans do not want another endless war.

The flu... "coming up" on CBC Metro Morning. They're going to talk about "why it's up".
I can tell you why -- or at least, in part. Because people have normalized going to school and daycare and work sick. They're not taking precautions. Clean air? No. Masking? No. Vaccination? No.

This. The problem isn't that someone gets a helping hand from their parents, it's that the helping hand is *needed*. There should be pathways into the arts for people of other backgrounds.
One thing that rankles with me - slightly - about nepo baby discourse, is that seemingly 90% of successful actors in the UK have a massive structural advantage simply from being born rich. To obsess over the 1% who also have famous parents as if THAT'S the problem, misses the forest for the trees.
Thing is as Nepo parent, you’re in a bind, you aren’t going to hinder your kids professional progress to make a political point. But surely you just say yes, their background helped.
