Can you really be addicted to food? Researchers are uncovering convincing similarities to drug addiction
A consensus is emerging among scientists that certain foods are addictive for some people. But questions remain about which foods, which people and why.

Sorry I haven't been here in a while--Covid it me. Actually, thanks to the VACCINES I had, the only problems were loss of taste/smell and orthostatic hypotension (6 weeks). Paxlovid gives you a horrible metallic taste for those 5 days.
Very worried about the anti-vaccine fanatics.

The whole world now feels this way toward us, TBH.
The image is a screenshot of a post on X by a user named BrooklynDad_Defiant! (@mmpadellan ). The post reads: "HAHA, folks in Greenland are making these hats go viral ahead of Usha Vance’s visit there. I LOVE THIS!!! " Below the text, there is an image of a red baseball cap being held by a hand. The cap has the text "MAKE AMERICA GO AWAY" written on it in white letters, along with a small circular logo on the side that appears to be the Greenland flag.

More than 50 bar organizations stand together with the American Bar Association to defend the rule of law and reject efforts to undermine the courts and the legal profession. Read the full statement: www.americanbar.org/news/abanews...
We support the right of people to advance their interests in courts of law when they have been wronged. We reject the notion that the U.S. government can punish lawyers and law firms who represent certain clients or punish judges who rule certain ways. We cannot accept government actions that seek to twist the scales of justice in this manner. We reject efforts to undermine the courts and the profession. We will not stay silent in the face of efforts to remake the legal profession into something that rewards those who agree with the government and punishes those who do not. Words and actions matter. And the intimidating words and actions we have heard and seen must end. They are designed to cow our country’s judges, our country’s courts and our legal profession. There are clear choices facing our profession. We can choose to remain silent and allow these acts to continue or we can stand for the rule of law and the values we hold dear. We call upon the entire profession, including lawyers in private practice from Main Street to Wall Street, as well as those in corporations and who serve in elected positions, to speak out against intimidation.

Here is a fine selection of colorful warblers for #WorldWildlifeDay. These beautiful birds are all insectivores so if you're a bird fan, you need to help conserve bugs too. Plant native plants and don't use pesticides.

American Redstart, Common Yellowthroat, Black & White Warbler, Northern Parula
A black bird with orange wing pits. He is perched in a patch of sun. A brown bird with a black mask and yellow throat. He is clinging to a thorn bush and singing. A small bird with black and white referee striping. He is perched on a dead branch and looking up. A blue bird with a yellow patch on the back, white wing bars, yellow chest, and white belly. He is clinging to a branch and leaning forward to catch a small insect.
