How much protein do you really need? What the science says
Fitness influencers promote super-high-protein diets, but studies show there’s only so much the body can use.

If you are introducing someone at a conference, learn how to pronounce their name! Crazy how often people stumble over the guests they're introducing. It's disrespectful!

Thought from a week of conferences: If someone uses uptalk or says “like” and “you know” I can’t take them seriously. You can train yourself to speak more confidently and you owe it to the audience.

I suspect you're not at the kind of conference I attend. If someone is speaking too confidently about their scientific research, I can't take them seriously. Expressing doubt about the validity of assumptions is the mark of a good scientist. But that's just like, my opinion, you know.

If Trump pardons convicted child rapist Gislane Maxwell, they will absolutely officially be the pedophile defender party.
The fact that this is even being considered is sickening.

Trump deploying National Guardsmen in DC exposes one of his big lies about January 6th.
Kash Patel falsely claimed for years that the Democrats failed to take Trump up on his offer to deploy the Guard on Jan. 6.
But Trump could have deployed the DC Guard himself and didn’t. Now he does.

I thought 2 Californias was funny and then I panned right in the image.
My goto is to ask LLMs how many states have R in their name. They always fail. GPT 5 included Indiana, Illinois, and Texas in its list. It then asked me if I wanted an alphabetical highlighted map. Sure, why not.
