Interesting graph on Saturated Fat consumption vs. CHD
This video has an interesting graph on the effect of saturated fat on Cardiovascular disease: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mBFe1QattAU&t=60s
This is based on this study. About 85% of the way down is "Figure 6" which is similar...

Don’t eat rat poison - YouTube

Most rat poison is anticoagulant. Warfarin can be used as a medicine to prevent blood clots. When it comes to poisons, dosage is everything. What would kill a rat might not kill you.

Meteor Strike
I already saw the video. April 13th, 2029 will be pretty interesting. I would like to get some binoculars and watch the asteroid go by.

Climate deniers don't deny climate change any more

It is absurd. The political left deliberately promotes falsehoods and then cry bloody murder when people object to their nonsense.
This is a straw man argument.
The IPCC has shown its bias by refusing to hire anyone who does not already believe in catastrophic man-made warming. This is not how you do science, by starting with the conclusion. Real science is done by looking at the data and seeing where that takes you.
The IPCC has tried to suppress papers by skeptics and even got a skeptic fired from a university.
One person who resigned from the IPCC said that it wasn't so much about protecting the Climate as it was about doing away with free-market capitalism. Other people have resigned from the IPCC in protest claiming that they were too biased.
Everywhere I look I see articles claiming that the only solution to Climate Change is socialism. At least for some, this is the real agenda.
It is questionable to claim that everything is rigidly peer-reviewed when the universities have been taken over by the extreme left.
Almost everyone believes that the average atmosphere temperature has increased, by a small amount, and that humans are the cause. There are some minor disagreements over the details, but there is widespread agreement on the basics. However, future predictions of gloom and doom are very debatable and scientifically disprovable. The CO2 level is already at 90% of its potential to block infrared radiation. Climate Alarmism depends upon as-of-yet unproven positive feedback mechanisms. If there were some evidence for this I would be on board, but there is a long list of past predictions that have not come true.
The solutions involve making energy expensive for everyone and denying energy to developing countries.

New Evidence Suggests Long COVID Could Be a Brain Injury
'As part of the preprint study, participants took a cognition test with their scores age-matched to those who had not suffered a serious bout of COVID-19. Then a blood sample was taken to look for specific biomarkers, showing that elevated levels of certain biomarkers were consistent with a brain injury. Using brain scans, researchers also found that certain regions of the brain associated with attention were reduced in volume.
Patients who participated in the study were "less accurate and slower" in their cognition, and suffered from at least one mental health condition, such as depression, anxiety, or posttraumatic stress disorder, according to researchers.
The brain deficits found in COVID-19 patients were equivalent to 20 years of brain aging and provided proof of what doctors have feared: that this virus can damage the brain and result in ongoing mental health issues.
"We found global deficits across cognition,"'

The Hockey Stick Trial: Science (and free speech) Dies in a DC Courtroom
In a 39-page report, climate scientist Judith Curry gave her opinion that it is "reasonable" to have referred to the hockey stick in 2012 as "fraudulent" in the sense that "aspects of it are deceptive and misleading."
However, Judge Alfred S. Irving excluded Curry's report, which cataloged the manipulations of data to get a hockey stick shape and quoted severe criticisms of the hockey stick made even by climate scientists supportive of the climate-change consensus (most of these made privately).'

The trial closed with Mann's counsel, John Williams, making a naked appeal to the jurors' political prejudices. Williams urged the jury to award punitive damages so that no one will dare engage in "climate denialism" – just as Donald Trump's "election denialism" needed to be suppressed. "In 41 years of trying cases to juries," John Hinderaker wrote on the Powerline blog, "I have never heard such an outrageously improper appeal."
