Today in good news ...

The Rise and Fall of Peter Attia’s Longevity Empire www.bloomberg.com/news/feature... Me: “This is a grift. This is selling ideas in order to create brands & sell products.” Pushing unproven BS as "longevity science" for big $$$ requires moral, um, flexibility. This Epstein controversy on-brand.

our latest about Peter Attia's rise and fall is about more than just Epstein. it's about someone who researched everything, who calculated every risk, who made his name based on credibility and trust. and now his friendship with Epstein is upending it all. www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...

not good for the Jews! not good for the Jews at all!

Antisemitism is running rampant and attacks are increasing but the NYPD has decided to count hate crimes in a less reliable, less transparent way. Great work. gothamist.com/news/after-1...

Tucker Carlson blaming *Chabad* for starting the war is truly and totally bananas, as anyone who knows anything about Chabad could tell you www.timesofisrael.com/tucker-carls...

My journalism hot take is that People Magazine is regularly underestimated

Always happy to get new followers even though I barely post but also I barely post … are the bots coming out???

Dolly Parton is an angel here on earth. I’m not crying, you're crying.

Just came under a MASSIVE PSYCHIC ASSAULT at the grocery store

And that's why they could never afford to by a home.

Calling the requirement for a judicial warrant before entering a person’s home one of the Democrats’ “new restrictions on federal immigration agents” crosses the line into outright falsehood. It’s in the Bill of Rights! A rule as old as the republic.

Colostrum Supplement Sales Are Booming, But the Science Is Thin www.bloomberg.com/news/article... Celebs. Influencers. Iffy science. Classic supplement hype cycle. Me: Immediate interest & lots of hype. But upon closer examination, "any positive effects 'become small or nonexistent.'"

closing tabs but to the tune of closing time

NEW from me: What do Tucker Carlson, Dua Lipa, and Kourtney Kardashian Barker all have in common? They all think you should try colostrum, a supplement without much in the way of scientific backing. (gift link) www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

same with Jews and antisemitism!!

We at the @postguild.bsky.social are raising money for the hundreds of journalists the Post just laid off. This goes to the people who are hurting, not the Post. Or if you'd rather, go subscribe to an independent journalist. Support is hugely appreciated. www.gofundme.com/f/standing-t...

Antibiotic use in livestock is going up. That's not good. Contributes to antibiotic-resistant bacteria in humans. civileats.com/2026/01/20/s... @lisaelaineh.bsky.social reports for @civileats.com

Last night, I watched an Instagram video where a Mom talked about being angry and mean to her kids -- it was an ad for a therapy app or something -- and then this morning agreed to let my second grader stay home "sick." I don't think these two are unrelated.

let freedom ring

Okay tell me the truth, how often do you replace the bath towels in your home? Because I just read that we should be doing it every 2-5 years and that sure seems excessive!!

My take on the new Dietary Guidelines: Who can afford them? with steak prices up 18% YoY, it’s quite a choice for a ribeye to figure so prominently in the pyramid. (USDA, for its part, says it’s all very affordable. HHS was like, no, it’s not affordable yet.) www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

this David Sedaris story is from December but I just read it recently and laughed so hard I had to read parts out loud to my husband. this, my friends, is my Sunday gift to you. www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

Mississippi’s largest synagogue was set on fire before dawn Saturday. Fire department ruled it arson, and a suspect has been arrested. It is the same synagogue that the Ku Klux Klan bombed in 1967 because the rabbi supported civil rights. mississippitoday.org/2026/01/10/f...

I am low key obsessed with cutting food waste in our house, and now will have to try making "brocamole" from my broccoli stems like some kind of high falutin chef (gift link!) www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Want to read a story that isn’t about politics or Trump but will make you wonder if maybe you do need some $16.99 sequin pants or maybe a Christmas rat for next year? Please enjoy my latest about the American takeover of German discount grocer, Aldi. www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...

listen, I know we're only 5 days in, but this NYTimes story on Silicon Valley execs injecting themselves with Chinese peptides is so far the craziest shit I have read all year (gift link, bc this is whack) www.nytimes.com/2026/01/03/b...

there's a lot going on out there, but a reminder that tomorrow, the kids go back to school

happy bday English writer J. R. R. Tolkien, b.1892. "All that is gold does not glitter, not all those who wander are lost; the old that is strong does not wither, deep roots are not reached by the frost." "All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."

fairly certain this article about clutter was written just for me and let me tell you, I will not be throwing away my very old medicine or very old makeup or the cutest pieces of my babies' old clothes ... you never know when you might need it! www.wsj.com/style/design...

MY LATEST: As more people use GLP-1s, smart restaurants adapt their menus to serve them -- sometimes explicitly, sometimes not -- but in the end, all of us benefit. Smaller meals, smaller checks, more nutrition. You love to see it. (gift link!) www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Let’s make 2026 the year we demand to maintain our inalienable right to wear shoes indoors. (Gift link because this is important!) www.nytimes.com/2026/01/02/b...

post a perfect album from the 90s that isn't nirvana, pearl jam, soundgarden, or alice in chains

Annoying that after giving the kids Chinese food for dinner last night and deli for lunch today, I have to feed them YET AGAIN.

For all the noise MAHA made on food dyes, the federal government did very little to get rid of them this year. (Vaccines are a different story.) My latest, with a gift link www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

Merry Christmas to all the goyim!

everyone has come out with their takes on the slop bowl decline -- well here's mine: SMALLER BOWLS, LOWER PRICES. it's time to give the people what they want. www.bloomberg.com/features/202...

this is all just normal stuff!!!

1000 percent every word of this. 😤

Believer Meats was poised to actually do the things the cultivated meat industry has claimed for so long was just within our grasp, make lots of meat without slaughtering animals and with a smaller environmental footprint. They’ve now ceased operations. agfundernews.com/breaking-bel...

We’re all looking at our checking accounts, looking at our credit card statements, and wondering if we can buy something stupid… right?

Okay folks, Thanksgiving is over, the year is wrapping up, and I am thinking about the year ahead. What are the stories you want to read more about in 2026 in food and health?

It’s my first Black Friday in years not out reporting — how’s it looking out there??

Introduce yourself with five concerts you've seen The Chicks Garth Brooks Ray Price/Willie Nelson/Merle Haggard Faith Hill/Tim McGraw Fiona Apple

Thankful for my enemies, who time and again, have driven me to do some of my best work.

what-people-wear-on-airplanes discourse is the worst discourse

#Thanksgiving is seen as a gauge for grocery prices, and now more so than ever as Americans grow increasingly frustrated with the cost of living. Read the latest Business of Food newsletter from @deenashanker.bsky.social www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

Coming down the stairs, I hear my husband leading the children in a rendition of Werewolf Bar Mitzvah, and I can say: In a life with plenty of mistakes, I have also made good choices.

Something I like to do when my dog does bad things like destroy a book is smush her face and lovingly tell her she’s a bad dog so she has no idea what I’m talking about

It’s baby octopus season 🐙🦑 Saw this little guy last night with the Salish Sea School in Anacortes, WA as part of their free community dock walk I volunteer as an interpreter for. We can tell it is a giant pacific octopus from the single line of chromatophores on each arm.
