Just a note that @ForBeginners has not paid my royalty checks in years. I did get two letters that said they contained royalty checks, but did not. I have not been able to contact them to resolve this. Any fellow For Beginners authors on here?

@DoctorChrisVT just listened to you on @today_explained and I was disheartened to hear how difficult in the US it is to regulate or change anything related to ultra processed foods.
I would like to see an app that scanned ingredient labels to identify ultra processed ingredients.
That a shopper could use to check. I have some frozen foods that as far as I can see are real foods. But sometimes ingredients set me back. Citric acid, that sounds benign and real. I'm pretty sure lactic acid is ok, but not certain. I can't google each ingredient. I need help.

High skilled immigration is a policy lever for more innovation unlike anything else. Oh and its free.
Nothing he says here violates the gag order, which was limited to comments about the judge's staff. Very narrow.
Fuck you, NYT, Portland is not a "Broken City," we have the same problems as every other city. But if you need one city to call "broken," why's it always us? Oh and yes we welcome trans people, could that be why you talk of us just as Trump does?
Always good to have a prophet on the payroll. And the word of god on the campaign trail.
Let's be real, if Star Trek-like transport devices are developed, it's going to be by dogs to transport food they are staring at directly into their mouths. They've been working on it for a while now.

I always think of this scene when I see a reference to Adm. Turner.
