Tucker Carlson blaming *Chabad* for starting the war is truly and totally bananas, as anyone who knows anything about Chabad could tell you

Red-shouldered Hawks With a Taste for Avocado Join a Growing List of Fruit-Eating Raptors Until now the behavior had been undocumented in the species, but recent research has revealed that more birds of prey consume plants than we realized.

And that's why they could never afford to by a home.

Calling the requirement for a judicial warrant before entering a person’s home one of the Democrats’ β€œnew restrictions on federal immigration agents” crosses the line into outright falsehood. It’s in the Bill of Rights! A rule as old as the republic.

Colostrum Supplement Sales Are Booming, But the Science Is Thin Celebrity endorsements have driven more than $22 million in US sales, a 3,000% increase from two years earlier.

Colostrum Supplement Sales Are Booming, But the Science Is Thin www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Celebs. Influencers. Iffy science. Classic supplement hype cycle.

Me: Immediate interest & lots of hype. But upon closer examination, "any positive effects 'become small or nonexistent.'"

NEW from me: What do Tucker Carlson, Dua Lipa, and Kourtney Kardashian Barker all have in common? They all think you should try colostrum, a supplement without much in the way of scientific backing.

Antibiotic use in livestock is going up.

That's not good. Contributes to antibiotic-resistant bacteria in humans.

The good news is that as soon as I tell her a symptom is incompatible with watching television -- scratchy eyes, headache -- the symptom seems to clear up immediately!

Last night, I watched an Instagram video where a Mom talked about being angry and mean to her kids -- it was an ad for a therapy app or something -- and then this morning agreed to let my second grader stay home "sick." I don't think these two are unrelated.

Okay tell me the truth, how often do you replace the bath towels in your home? Because I just read that we should be doing it every 2-5 years and that sure seems excessive!!

Steak Is Expensive, and Now It Rules the Food Pyramid New dietary guidelines raise affordability concerns, but some US officials say customers have choices.

My take on the new Dietary Guidelines: Who can afford them? with steak prices up 18% YoY, it’s quite a choice for a ribeye to figure so prominently in the pyramid. (USDA, for its part, says it’s all very affordable. HHS was like, no, it’s not affordable yet.)

And Your Little Dog, Too, by David Sedaris Two small dogs, both unleashed, rushed toward me, snarling, and one of them bit me on my left leg, just below the knee. It all happened within a second.

this David Sedaris story is from December but I just read it recently and laughed so hard I had to read parts out loud to my husband. this, my friends, is my Sunday gift to you.
