You're right, "food influencers" and the "Manosphere" at large have been spouting nonsense about plant oils for a long time. That realm is rife with pseudoscience from people who think you don't eat enough meat and that eating vegetables makes you weak. They try to sell strength to people by speaking confidently about being strong while also making shit up and lying about it.

The superdelegate system that caused very real controversy in 2016 was changed after that. Superdelegates no longer get to vote in the first round, so they only influence the outcome if there's a contested convention. I believe they also decreased how many superdelegates there are

Elizabeth Warren ran for the nomination and lost, and gave a full-throated endorsement of Biden after she withdrew

The right has started to eat itself alive. Only the most "ideologically pure" remain, and ideological purity in MAGA terms means not trusting anything except whatever they make up in the moment, which leads them to not trust each other. This is making it really difficult for them to agree on much of anything, which is why they have no political platform and do nothing except obstruct

What this graph shows however, is that there are a ton of degrees that seem to teach hardly any transferable skills

This graph absolutely does not show this lol...how could you possibly derive that from this graph

And sociologists are absolutely trained in statistics

I'd be really interested to see the specifics of how that data is collected, but also fucking duh recent college grads are underemployed. Also, having that degree sets people up for career advancement as they gain experience and that educational background becomes even more of a prerequisite for the jobs they're moving into

I won't be surprised if we find out he was a Scientologist all along.

Damn, what a rollercoaster. This story is ripe for a screenplay

Definitely this, you can drink H2O no problem, but H2O2 and you're going to have a bad time. And yes, probably no need to have brominated vegetable oil in our food at all.

Some popular drinks that contain BVO include Gatorade, Mountain Dew, Fanta Orange, Fresca, Squirt, Sunkist Pineapple, and some flavors of Powerade.

Yeah all of these are killing you with sugar, too

Disney already owned well over 50% of Hulu, many of their shows on there are already on Disney+ outside the US. IMO this is nothing like Disney buying Star Wars or Marvel or ESPN or Fox.

Here's a list of companies that Disney created shortly before the buyout was confirmed.

Those are companies that Disney has acquired over decades, they didn't create any of them
