Hey @netflix, this is for taking Friends off. Thanks for ruining everyone’s 2019.

Exclusive: A rare bookseller suspected his books were being bought by AI companies. He stuck an AirTag in a book and we tracked it to a secretive Amazon facility in Las Vegas where they scan and destroy books called VGT3:

Turns out that food companies were only checking their food because the government told them to which is exactly why we need government regulations

NIC is finally recommending rapid tests for endometriosis. A saliva test and a sensor pad...so the nearly decade-long wait to do exploratory surgery to confirm what the patient has been telling us the whole time might finally be over.

Turns out, we don't have to see women suffer for 9 years before we believe them. What. A. Concept.

We broke down how these new diagnostic tools work and more on the latest Medlines episode.

This week someone targeted my family for harm with a false report. We’re physically OK, but that doesn’t mean we weren’t harmed. I am beyond furious.

Whatever your politics, this is awful, wrong, and can never become normal. https://t.co/72wxaVLzVT

Coming back home and being greeted by the skyline is still just as magical as the first time.

Our food is growing less nutritious. Many of humanity’s most important crops — including wheat, potatoes, beans — contain fewer vitamins and minerals than they did a generation ago.

The culprit behind this damaging phenomenon? Carbon dioxide pollution. https://t.co/NPJ93aLSXG

NEW: The new food pyramid was built by corporate interests.

General Mills, Danone, the beef industry, and more had financial ties to the scientists writing the new dietary guidelines.

RFK said he couldn't be bought, then he let Big Food write the nutrition guidelines.

Day to day, absolutely it’s important to limit consumption of foods high in added sugar. But if a diabetic patient is experiencing a hypoglycemic episode, they need glucose as fast as possible. Quick options are important to keep on hand in a crisis.

[MAHA Action @MAHA_Action]

RFK Jr. just shared that hospitals were giving diabetics foods like Jell-O and Coca-Cola that worsen their condition.

“A diabetic woman… was immediately offered… a Jell-O and a Coca-Cola.”

“And a number of other foods that all contain sugar that are all gonna injure their metabolic system and aggravate their diabetes.”

“We have the best doctors… and the finest hospitals in the world.”

“But… they haven’t recognized the most important tool of medicine today is good food.”

Protein consumption is also important to avoid muscle loss. But with the mass marketing move toward increased protein intake, I’m seeing more insufficient fiber intake than insufficient protein

[Maelee @maelee_sutton]

As a dietitian who has worked extensively with GLP-1s, 100% a fair question. They slow down your gut motility, which reduces your consumption of food, and also impact absorption of nutrients. Vitamins D, B, calcium, iron are some of the biggest deficiencies + insufficient fiber.

[trash jones @jzux]

can I ask a probably stupid but genuine question about ozempic? if the main way it works is by suppressing hunger and causing you to eat way less, are there strict guidelines to make sure you get enough nutrients in your diet? or are people getting malnourished?

Donna Kelce’s next home reno opportunity

[Mr PitBull Stories @MrPitbull07]

I just arrived at my Airbnb and took a moment to look around and look what I noticed. I think it would have been helpful if they mentioned this to me over the phone. I was literally with the manager just a few minutes ago. Her phone is busy right now, but I sent her this photo. I saw that she saw it, but she totally ignored it. I've already paid hoping this will be resolved.

[Michael Albert, MD @MichaelAlbertMD]

I’m sorry, but I disagree with this decision. We seem to operate under the assumption that physicians are responsible for fixing every aspect of society, which is unrealistic.

First, we already have trained professionals in nutrition—dietitians. Yet we consistently underpay them and fail to provide adequate access to their services. While physicians receiving 40 hours of nutrition education isn’t inherently a bad idea, delivering the behavioral interventions required to meaningfully change diet often takes hours of patient engagement. In the current system, many physicians are fortunate if they can spend 5–10 minutes with a patient a few times per year.

The problem is not that people are unaware they should eat more fruits and vegetables. The larger issue is that the food system itself heavily subsidizes and incentivizes highly processed foods. Structural changes to that system would likely have a far greater impact than physicians repeatedly telling patients to eat more fruits and vegetables.

At some point, we need to acknowledge the limits of what can realistically be addressed within a brief clinical encounter. It’s all so exhausting.

[James Talarico @jamestalarico]

America is praying for Austin.

But there is something profoundly cynical about asking God to solve a problem we're not willing to solve ourselves.

God moves and works through us. God has no other hands but our hands.

We must act.

[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

I had a productive meeting with President Trump this afternoon.

I’m looking forward to building more housing in New York City.

[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

I am outraged by the removal of the Rainbow Pride Flag from Stonewall National Monument. New York is the birthplace of the modern LGBTQ+ rights movement, and no act of erasure will ever change, or silence, that history.

Our city has a duty not just to honor this legacy, but to live up to it. I will always fight for a New York City that invests in our LGBTQ+ community, defends their dignity, and protects every one of our neighbors—without exception.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

Americans are being killed in the street by their government. Our Constitution is being shredded and our rights are dissolving. Resist.

Senate Dems should block ICE funding this week. Activate the National Guard.

We can and must stop this.

Legendei esse vídeo de uma venezuelana que não é nada fã do Trump, explicando a situação no país.
