It’s part of her “high fat carnivore diet” to which she attributes a whole host of health benefits, not least of which is the claim she “literally never fart[s] any more” and has a single “scentless” bowel movement a week.A lot of gym bros also back the diet touted for helping people lose weight and build muscle, such as Antonio Angotti, who says the fat in red meat “includes almost every nutrient humans need to thrive” and invokes religion as part of his dietary choices, saying he eats “just foods God will actually bless”.

3 h. ago Bill Belichick’s humiliating college football debut brings only schadenfreude or sadness

The greatest head coach in modern NFL history has started anew at UNC. His first game exposed flaws that will be very difficult to fixHalf a century of unprecedented success, six Super Bowl rings as a head coach, the NFL’s greatest defensive mind; all undone by 19-year-olds sprinting past missed tackles. Bill Belichick arrived at North Carolina promising to bend college football to his will, to build the “33rd NFL Program” in Chapel Hill, and prove he still had his fastball. College football laughed.As debut flops go, North Carolina’s 48-14 beatdown at the hands of TCU is as bad as it gets. Belichick’s side didn’t just lose; they were humiliated. UNC looked unprepared, undisciplined and were overmatched against a veteran team. Continue reading...

5 h. ago Why Trump’s undermining of US statistics is so dangerous | Daniel Malinsky

From the firing of the labor statistics chief to plans for a new census, the president’s moves serve to entrench authoritarianismIn 1937, Joseph Stalin commissioned a sweeping census of the Soviet Union. The data reflected some uncomfortable facts – in particular, the dampening of population growth in areas devastated by the 1933 famine – and so Stalin’s government suppressed the release of the survey results. Several high-level government statistical workers responsible for the census were subsequently imprisoned and apparently executed. Though the Soviet authorities would proudly trumpet national statistics that glorified the USSR’s achievements, any numbers that did not fit the preferred narrative were buried.A few weeks ago, following the release of “disappointing” jobs data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), Donald Trump fired the commissioner of labor statistics, Dr Erika McEntarfer, and claimed the numbers were “rigged”. He also announced his intention to commission a...
