Yes, there is a nugget of truth. That isn’t what “body language analysis” is though. They aren’t saying “Look at how she huffed and punched the wall. She’s frustrated.” They are saying, look at the angle between her and her boyfriend. She is clearly cheating on him.

To clarify, body language is real is some circumstances. If I yell and pull my arm back as if I’m about to punch someone, there is obvious meaning in that. It is the analysis and interpretation of random or idiosyncratic movements and positions as having deep meaning that is bogus.

Both Diet And Sugary Drinks Increase Fatty Liver Disease Risk, Study Says

Slay Bones @clayjones.bsky.social · 23h

There isn’t much that could get this simple country atheist to pray, but the thought of losing Dolly Parton might just do it. I hope it’s just another case of celebrity chronic lyme disease and not something serious.

Can we please stop with these kinds of studies and this kind of language and these kind of stories. 24-hour dietary recalls (and really all our methods for dietary intake used in epidemiology) need to be used cautiously and humbly, recognizing the huge limitations

Ugh! Framing inhalers as “drivers of climate change” is lazy journalism. They’re life-saving medical devices, not SUVs.
Exaggerating a 0.006% emission source while guilt-tripping asthma patients is moral theater, not science.
Statistical telescoping (aggregation fallacy) on full display too. 🛟

Rethinking Inhalers in the Era of Climate Change

Portable, fast-acting, and highly effective, metered-dose inhalers have transformed the treatment of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) over the past 70 years. But alongside their...

Acting CDC director calls for MMR vaccine to be broken up into three shots www.statnews.com/2025/10/06/t... @statnews

"NO evidence that giving shots separately for measles, mumps, and rubella offers any advantage in terms of safety or effectiveness."

There's no evidence that breaking up the MMR shot would make the immunization safer or more effective.

CNN is garbage. It is disgusting to blame asthma patients, most of which are children, for even a tiny fraction of climate change.

The people who are most vulnerable to the hard-to-breathe air that comes with climate change may inadvertently be adding to the problem, new research finds. https://cnn.it/4pWQMoh

I’m okay with that deal. They get their coin, we get a collective cheer that will register as a 7 on the Richter scale.

The U.S. Treasury shared a proposal to mint $1 Trump coins to mark America’s 250th anniversary.

But U.S. code says only deceased individuals may appear on U.S. currency, a tradition dating back to efforts to break from monarchical rule. https://wapo.st/4pWsyL3
