The original story, which the NYT had the good grace to link to, is so much worse than the Times makes it sound:

Influencers are promoting peptides for better health. What does the science say? The latest wellness craze involves injecting these molecules for athletic performance, longevity and more. Scientists say the research isn't keeping pace with the health claims.

I don't understand how we have to beg people to get vaccinated while other people are fine shooting themselves up with untested compounds for unproven "gains" risking god knows what

That's why I said focused on, not exclusive to, written records. Historians draw on different kinds of evidence in constructing their accounts. But written records, broadly construed, are central. If you're not dealing with written records at all, you're probably doing anthropology or archeology.

ICE detains reporter Estefany RodrΓ­guez in Nashville - Nashville Banner Reporter Estefany RodrΓ­guez, detained by ICE with no arrest warrant, may face deportation. Her attorneys seek immediate review of the legality of her case.

ICE has arrested and detained a Nashville journalist who reported stories critical of ICE. She’s married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there.

They’ve already sent her to Louisiana.

Gen Z men twice as likely as baby boomers to believe wives should obey husbands Global survey shows young men hold more traditional views about gender roles than older generations Almost a third of generation Z men think a wife should obey her husband, according to a global survey of 23,000 people that found young men hold more traditional views about gender roles than older generations. A third (33%) of gen Z men also said a husband should have the final word on important decisions, according to the 29-country survey which included Great Britain, the US, Brazil, Australia and India. Almost a quarter (24%) of gen Z men think women should not appear too independent or self-sufficient, compared with 12% of baby boomer men. Attitudes toward sexual norms also differed sharply across generations, with 21% of gen Z men thinking a β€œreal woman” should never initiate sex, compared with only 7% of baby boomer men. More than half (59%) of gen Z men said men were expected to do too much to support equality, compared with 45% of baby boomer men. For women, the proportions were 41% and 30% respectively. Thirty percent of gen Z men believed men should not say β€œI love you” to their friends, compared with 20% of baby boomer men and 21% of gen Z women. Twenty-one percent of gen Z men believed that men who took part in caregiving for children were less masculine than those who did not, compared with 8% of baby boomer men and 14% of gen Z women. Both genders felt women had more choice in dating and relationships (22%), household roles (24%) and the clothes they can wear (34%), while men were considered to have more choice in hobbies (18%) and jobs (39%).

Some anthropologists are bullshitters, but so what? Doesn't mean the physical anthropologists solving crimes, or the linguistic anthropologists saving dying languages are full of shit.

Anthropology isn't a fake discipline at all. It's as valid as history or archeology and because it's so broad, it can overlap with both. As well as biological sciences and forensic medicine.

History is focused on the study of written records, and is backward looking. Anthropology deals with a much broader array of evidence about cultures past and present. It encompasses everything from skeletal biology to textiles and languages, past and present. It's not fake.

Calling states "red" and "blue" based on presidential results not only ignores the partisanship of other statewide votes but also ignores how lousy those descriptors are at the presidential level.

Graham Platner's wife is Jewish and Donald Trump's wife is an immigrant. But the question isn't whether he's a zeig-heiling neo-Nazi, it's whether he's a liar with a long history of gross politics that he papered over to reinvent himself as a leftist.

A president attacking another country based on a "feeling" is unacceptable. It's like Alex Jones saying God called on him to expose the deep state while he was eating a chicken fried steak. Except people are dying because of it.

This is such a dogshit thing to say but notice how much of a coward he is to immediately go oh gosh oh golly when the reporter asks what he means by that. Can’t even have the courage of his dirtbag convictions, an insult to all men who wear shorts and hoodies in the winter. We reject him.

Trump, Markets, And β€œTACO”: Why The Usual Warning Signal May Fail In Iran, Warns Justin Wolfers
Trump, Markets, And β€œTACO”: Why The Usual Warning Signal May Fail In Iran, Warns Justin Wolfers What happens when the U.S. starts a warβ€”and the biggest economic pain lands somewhere else? Financial markets are a real-time forecasting machine: billions of dollars placed on bets about the…

Here's what worries me. The U.S. is less oil-dependent than our peers, and so Wall Street has responded far less to the war in Iran than financial markets abroad. When the country calling the shots feels only a small share of the pain, that's a dangerous asymmetry.

WHOA. Camp East Montana in El Paso opened in August and quickly became the deadliest ICE facility, with infamously terrible conditions.

Now ICE is closing it, just as they plan to open up a detention camp nearly three times larger in a converted warehouse just outside El Paso.
