Our digestion of unprocessed foods improved with the addition of some fermented foods that maybe tuned up our gut biomes. Milk kefir in particular is a diverse probiotic and is easy to make yourself at room temperature on a kitchen counter.

Yeah. I was compelled to go cold-turkey off processed foods a couple decades ago for dire matters of health. I know it's not possible for everyone, but for me it was utterly necessary and vastly improved the quality of my life.

Everybody's now talking about satiety because it's the mechanism of these popular GLP-1 drugs. I've been trying to tell folks about it for 25 years. It was literally the key for me to losing ~120 lbs and keeping it off. I resolved diabetes, hypertension and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease -and vastly improved other issues that were making me miserable.

The bottom line was an awareness that what I eat now has a direct and powerful effect on how soon and how much I'll be compelled to eat later. I began to weight my choices towards the low-caloric density, the low glycemic and high-fiber. This of course also means mostly dumping processed foods.

I realize there is privilege in being able to do this and even devote the time to untangling health puzzles, I was fortunate to have the situation and support to do it.

I guess my point is that given resources it's at least possible to game your own satiety without being dependent on expensive drugs. No argument at all that the quality of what folks now regard as staple food is lousy and in fact calculated to cause overconsumption, illness.

Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno-Garcia. For a book club. Not my usual cup of tea. Not bad though.

Loved the idea that outer space is full of Australian Muppets.

I never caught the first one, but the title got my attention. So it sounds like Godzilla has RSVP'ed to some social event with a "plus one" but Godzilla's companion has flaked out at the last minute? Mortifying!

I've been sorta under the weather as well. if I feel ok, I'll do what I do most Friday nights and volunteer at a community radio station about 2 hours away. It's pretty fun. Really need to catch up on house and yard stuff sometime this weekend.

I wish they would maybe capitalize the proper nouns in this post. On first readings, not knowing Astronomer is the name of a corporation, I thought they were just referring to a CEO that also happened to be an avid stargazer -"What a strange detail to include...".

Thinking about how low these folks usually go, I'm wondering why they haven't just worked up a fake hatchet job file selectively incriminating their enemies and exonerating themselves. It possibly wouldn't matter if it were called into question by evidence of tampering. Their devotees are indoctrinated enough to swallow almost anything -especially if it reinforced their biases against people they've already been trained to hate. What fallout are they afraid of in releasing a doctored list? I'd wager this will be the eventual outcome. A fake file that most know to be fake, but will mollify his base.

Well done!

It's seriously a blast to broadcast whatever you like (within community standards). After working in commercial and affiliate public stations, it's refreshing. Think I did play that track once in a set of stalker songs.

Leave one out for Mothman.

Through a few community radio stations. I've long been a volunteer DJ for one in my region. Tune into the shows that I resonate with. Awesome to hear what some actual folks have curated for the week. Discover lots of new music that way and also through research into what I'd like to play on the next show.
