Husband just came in to tell me that since the assassination of Abraham Lincoln every American president has been alive at the same time as Herbert Hoover.

Bill and Ted in the parking lot of the circle K in full Whoa

Norwegian football team returns home to Oslo in triumph, gets a parade with nearly 100k people in the streets, and are granted and audience at the royal castle, greeting king Harald while wearing flip flops. I love this country.

It is hardly news that the noisy correlation-based data on ultra-processed foods is very low-quality, but it turns out that the UPF randomized controlled trials probably don't offer strong evidence of the harms of "ultra-processing," either. Gift link: www.vox.com/future-perfe...

The evidence against “ultra-processed” foods is weaker than you think

New analysis suggests other factors may explain the harms blamed on “ultra-processing”

How many people die from extreme temperatures, and how this could change in the future? Think about someone dying from extreme temperatures. You probably pictured someone passing out from heat stroke or dying from hypothermia.

Small multiples (six line charts) of the relationship between average local temperature and relative risk of premature death where each city’s curve marks a minimum-mortality “optimal” temperature and shows mortality rising at colder and warmer temperatures. Cities shown with their minimum mortality thresholds: São Paulo (22.5°C), Vancouver (17°C), Capetown, South Africa (23°C), London (18°C), Paris (20°C), and Austin, Texas (27°C). Source: Chen et al.

Når? Følgjande utsegn er slett ikkje uforsvarleg: Den redaksjonelle haldninga i Aftenposten mot pride og især transfolk, slik ho no blir uttrykt gjennom vinklingar og plassbruk i saker, kling i samme tonearten som antisemittismen deira i mellomkrigsåra. Det er leit, mtp. dei gode folka på huset òg.

Ultraprocessed foods and obesity: Interpreting the evidence

What do randomized controlled trials really tell us about the effects of ultraprocessed foods?
