This might sound ridiculous to serious rational non-parents, but this is a situations where it doesnโt matter that much what a study โsaysโ ... it matters much more what the people around you are doing

My wife and I have raised 3 kids (10,8 & 6), mostly downtown. All of them have attended the local assigned neighborhood public school. Our oldest is now in the City magnet school.
But >75% of our friends & neighbors send their kids to private school or homeschool

When our oldest was 18 months old, my wife started a Mom's Group at our church. Just as a place where moms could meet and talk, and where kid could run around and play somewhere warm (and safe) inside.

1- Again, Douglas Macgregorโs statement is a clear example of disinformation, ideological manipulation, and political scapegoating aimed at undermining Ukraine and its leadership. There are several reasons why figures like Macgregor spread such falsehoods:
2- Deflection from Russiaโs War Crimes-
By framing Zelensky as a symbol of so-called "cultural decay," Macgregor is shifting the focus away from Russiaโs illegal war, atrocities, and violations of international law.

How to protect yourself from seed oils and other polyunsaturated fats. ๐งต
1] Minimize Lipid Peroxidation:
> Benfotiamine
> Vitamins E and C
> Progesterone
> Boswellia
> Coconut oil
> Vitamin D3
> Vitamin A (retinol)
> Aspirin
> Ginger
> Coffee
> Zinc
> Taurine
> DHEA (no more than 15 mg/day)
> L-theanine
> Optimize thyroid (TSH elevates COX)
2] Minimize Free Fatty Acids:
> Eat regularly
> Eat carbohydrates regularly
> High-carb meals/diet
> Eat a little coconut oil
> Get adequate sleep
> Minimize psychological stress
> Ginger
> Glycine
> Pyrucet (Idealabs)
> Niacinamide
> Magnesium
> Aspirin
> Vitamin E
3] Support Glucuronidation and Sulfation:
> Limit PUFA intake
> Consume carbohydrate
> Consume fruits - they contain glucarate
> Calcium d-glucarate does the same thing but is more concentrated
> Vitamin C supports glucuronidation
> Coffee
> Caffeine
> Rosemary
> Dietary sulfur
> Niacinamide (increasing NAD+ helps sulfation)
> Vitamin A (retinol)
4] Eat mostly saturated fats:
> Coconut oil
> Cocoa butter
> Butter/ghee
> Cream and cheese
> Beef fat/tallow
Most importantly!
5] Avoid highly polyunsaturated fats:
> Soybean oil
> Rapeseed/canola oil
> Sunflower seed oil
> Peanut oil
> Cottonseed oil
> Corn oil
> Safflower oil
> Grapeseed oil
> Flaxseed soil
> Hemp oil
> Chia seed oil
> Evening primrose oil
> Fish oil
Read the more detailed explanation below.

Problem 1: PUFA consumption.
The first problem is diet. Reducing consumption is the most important thing in the long term.
Although some PUFAs can stay in fat tissue for years, symptomatic improvement can be seen in weeks.
Saturated fats, in addition to replacing PUFAs, also have some protective effects, including lowering the lipid peroxidation of PUFAs; more on that later.

> Grapeseed oil
> Flaxseed soil
> Hemp oil
> Chia seed oil
> Evening primrose oil
> Fish oil
Note on olive oil: It can contain up to 30% PUFA but is mostly monounsaturated. Polyphenols in the oil reduce the lipid peroxidation of the PUFAs to a degree. It's not as bad as seed oils, but I don't see any reason to consume it over more saturated fats.

Looking at Hasbro's 2024 results, I think this might be the first time that D&D tabletop RPG revenue has decreased with the release of a new edition. How'd that happen? It lines up with a lot of what I've seen in the marketplace: (1/5)
Fans just aren't excited. The OGL took the air out of the community around the game, and other than shaky claims of backwards compatibility the game has almost gone out of its way to avoid answering a simple question: Why buy this new edition? (2/5)
The audience is treating it like a new edition. Every TTRPG publisher relies on their backlist as a big part of their sales. Backlist sales have crashed down. Meanwhile, the lack of energy in the community has dragged down new player acquisition. (3/5)
๐งตMy new book is out TODAY by @BloomsburyBooks, @ibtauris & SOAS Palestine Studies! This is more than a book; it's a record for history completed during #GazaGenocideโ amid constant loss of people & places who inspired it. This is for their memory.

This book wouldn't be achieved without the outpouring love and support of my family and friends, who were martyred and who survived to exist and resist, exemplify the Palestinian Sumud & defiance in the face of the worst crimes against humanity under everyone's watch. To you!
It also wouldn't have been achieved without my PhD supervisors I was very blessed by. Nor many dear friends, filmmakers & intellectuals, inclu. those who exerted much efforts to pave the way to a counter image & history to colonial misrepresentations & those who believed in me...
