University debate, "Were humans built to eat meat?", same two chairs, same clock.
Vegan: "Anatomically we're closer to the gorilla than the lion. Flat molars, long gut. A gentle plant-eater with delusions."
Paleoanthropologist: "Then explain the acid."
Vegan: "Which acid?"
Paleoanthropologist: "Your stomach runs at a pH of about 1.5. A lion's sits nearer 3.6. Yours is stronger than the animal you've just been contrasted with, by a factor of about a hundred."
Vegan: "Stomach acid digests food."
Paleoanthropologist: "A cow's rumen sits at about 6.5. That's a compost heap with a pulse. Yours strips the zinc off a coin. Why would a gentle plant-eater carry that?"
Vegan: "Protection."
Paleoanthropologist: "From what? Lettuce doesn't fight back."
Vegan: "Bacteria."
Paleoanthropologist: "Which bacteria live in a leaf at a level that needs a pH of 1.5? Name the salad."
Vegan: "..."
Paleoanthropologist: "The animals that run acid as low as ours are the scavengers. Vultures. Things that arrive at a carcass on the second day and need to kill what's already living in it. We're not built like the lion. We're built like the bird that waits for the lion to finish."
Vegan: "Flattering."
Paleoanthropologist: "It's a picture of a species with a rock, a sharp flake and no claws. You don't get the fresh kill. You get the femur nobody could open, forty hours late, and you'd better have the acid for it."
Vegan: "Acid that strong is dangerous. Look how many people are on tablets for it."
Paleoanthropologist: "The only animal on earth that pays to switch its stomach off. You've spent sixty years pouring cereal onto a carcass digester and now you're medicating the digester for doing its job."
Vegan: "So your argument is that we're vultures."
Paleoanthropologist: "My argument is a number. Yours is a feeling about gorillas. The gorilla eats for most of the day and its gut is a fermentation tank. Yours is done in a few hours and runs on acid. One of you is designed for leaves."
Moderator: "Thirty seconds."
Paleoanthropologist: "She can keep them. I'm still waiting on the salad."

It's never been easier to make money than it is today. But the reason people don't is because it's also never been easier to be distracted than it is today.
That’s all it took to shut down the propaganda machines? Hallelujah.
BREAKING: ABC, CBS, CNN, NBC and Fox News, all five networks of the White House TV pool, have just suspended all coverage of Trump's public events effective immediately over the White House ban on CNN, MS NOW and Politico, with no replacement pool, saying "no administration should restrict a news organization because it objects to its reporting."
The White House left the primary TV pool slot empty for today, the day CNN was due to lead it for Trump's trip to the UN General Assembly in New York, after CNN's White House reporter had her pass confiscated on Saturday.
Trump begins UN week, two days after cutting short Camp David over a possible escalation with Iran, with no shared network feed of his public events.

My dear Wormwood,
You still think in terms of churches and arguments. That is why you fail. The churches can be left standing. What must be spoiled is the literature that taught the young to love the Enemy before they could define Him.
Narnia is one of the more irritating of those books. Children meet Aslan first as adventure and only later discover they have been handling Christ. That is dangerous. Direct attack only makes the stories more precious. So we do not ban them. We adapt them.
Give the Voice to a so-called celebrated actress. Leave the mane. Leave the pronouns. Then the thing that was a male Christ-supposition becomes a prestige performance. The story remains famous; the meaning becomes negotiable. In a generation the story will still be beloved, but the beloved thing will no longer be Lewis’s Lion. It will be the version that flatters the age.
That is how the Enemies literature is destroyed without the vulgarity of a bonfire. Keep the title. Change the sound. When the children hear Aslan, let them hear the present century speaking through Him. Once that habit is formed, the Enemies stories survive as brands. Their doctrine does not.
Do not call it persecution. Call it interpretation. The patients prefer that word, and it does our work admirably.
Your affectionate uncle,
SCREWTAPE
Meryl Streep will officially voice Aslan in Greta Gerwig’s ‘NARNIA: THE MAGICIAN'S NEPHEW’.

So unfair
Breaking: Aaron Donald is coming out of retirement and returning to the Rams on a one-year, $20M deal that with incentives could be worth up to $30M, per @RapSheet and @AdamSchefter.
There is ZERO case to be made that a $400,000 bachelors degree has a positive ROI.
Unless your rich Daddy is paying for it. Then, go nuts.
I asked Claude, based on everything it knows about me, who I should vote for in the Republican primary for Governor in FL.
It asked one clarifying question and said Renner and Fishback are most aligned with my priorities.
Byron came in last. Behind Collins even.
I don’t know these guys so what do you think?
Affordability, eliminating property taxes, and pretty much maintaining things as they are is what I care about most.
It’s scary how many people don’t read more than a headline and think they’ve got enough info to form opinions on something.
I’m not charging enough for my coaching services.
REPORT: Wealthy parents are paying $6,500 for SEC sorority rush coaches
Rush coaches that specialize in SEC schools like Alabama, Auburn, and Ole Miss are seeing increased demand especially for out-of-state students from the North East
Coaches charge $3,000 to $12,000+ and offer advice on outfits, social media profiles, social norms, and more
Jail is no longer good enough.
Babies died.
NO NO NO. Stop destroying everything I love.
We don’t need white guilt Bond who learns to treat women with respect while being upstaged by a strong, female co-lead who’s always right and smarter than him.
Next Bond actor forecast:
