THREAD: A follow-up to yesterday’s thread on Alzheimer’s disease
()
1/13 I think some people misunderstood or misinterpreted what I wrote.
2/13 I heard from a few people who told me that there are many different causes of dementia. I suspect they were saying this because they have or had a loved one afflicted with this terrible illness, and they felt a little bit defensive.
3/13 Defensive possibly because they read into my tweets something that was *not there.* Alzheimer’s is, without a doubt, the result of impaired cerebral glucose metabolism. That is the problem. Now, what *causes* that problem, we don’t know.

1/ All right, y'all, so I just watched this video from Stephen Cunnane. His research on Alzheimer's, ketones, & brain glucose metabolism is SUPERB. Out-freaking-standing. I cite several of his (and his colleagues') papers in my book. HT to @KetoCarnivore
2/ After watching this, I am even more appalled than usual that most mainstream articles about Alz make zero--ZERO--mention of the fundamental underlying problem: that the brain is unable to effectively metabolize glucose. And this starts decades before clinical symptoms.
3/ This decline in the cerebral metabolic rate of glucose is measurable via PET scan in people as young as their 30s and 40s, a point I make in every talk I ever give about this illness. *This disease process starts in the young.*

Hey guys! Just listened to an older ep of @breaknutrition podcast. THANK YOU for addressing how overly simplistic and flawed the CICO paradigm is, and that human metabolism and cellular energy utilization is about much more than deliberate exercise. 1/
2/ I would love to hear your thoughts on how hypothyroidism affects brown adipose tissue, uncoupling, etc. As someone who's dealt with hypothyroidism, I was freezing cold to the point of distraction from anything else in a room where everyone else was fine.
3/ It seems like if your thyroid isn't churning out hormone, or if T4 isn't being converted to T3 properly in target tissues, then your body isn't *able* to warm itself in response to a cold environment, otherwise you *would* get warm and not feel cold most of the time.

India (Bhārat), aka Republic of India (Bhārat Gaṇarājya) constitutes a mosaic of paradoxes and contradictions starting with the existence of gigantic socio-economic disparities which are in sharp contrast with the spectacular technological development in most productive sectors.
Such contradictions reflect significant measurement discrepancies which, in India's case, could be on the order of hundreds of millions of people.
Furthermore, there is the problem of Islamic terrorists, who are trained abroad and find easy fuel in the contradictions within it.
Finally, there’s agriculture which, by some estimates, accounts for 90% of India’s water consumption. Farmers meet irrigation demands by indiscriminately extracting groundwater, which some say accounts for a quarter of the world’s groundwater usage.

good news of May 2019 is very few press or even influencers share Facebook’s internal blog posts spinning their latest scandals and most journalists are accurately interpreting and dismissing the NYT op-ed by Facebook’s new PR guy hired last year to try to hold off EU pressures.
I think it warrants sharing some of the reactions by industry press to Facebook’s PR chief’s NYT op-ed. All of the following people report and/or offer perspective on Facebook. Not going well. Here is @Kantrowitz @geoffreyfowler @cwarzel @readDanwrite
How about some more? Here are @reckless @hshaban @jamesrbuk @zackwhittaker ... also it impressed by it.

(Thread) Reading the Mueller Report, VIII

Sometimes lying and obstructing is a crime.
Sometimes it isn’t.

It’s time for some Fun With Criminal Law.
(That means more IRAC)

---
Part I begins here:
Or here if you prefer blog posts: terikanefield-blog.com/category/muell…
1/ To review, IRAC is a method of legal analysis.

IRAC stands for:
💠Issue
💠Rule
💠Analysis
💠Conclusion

Let’s start with this one:

Issue: Did Trump obstruct justice when he ordered McGahn (WH counsel) to fire Mueller, and then ordered McGahn to lie about it?
2/ For the Rule, we plug in the elements of the crime of obstruction of justice:

💠an obstructive act
💠a nexus between the obstructive act and an official proceeding
💠a corrupt intent.

To get a conviction a prosecutor must prove each element beyond a reasonable doubt.

Hey, y'all! I redesigned and relaunched my website! I'm particularly fond of the new bibliography. And... is that a blog? Check it out here: aidanmoher.com
🏗️ Thread: Since this is what I do for a living (building and designing websites), I wanted to talk about author websites and how I thought about mine as I created it and filled with with content.
First, I reached out to my followers to see what they wanted from an author website. I used the feedback here (plus research via visiting websites by several prominent SFF authors, like @MaryRobinette and @KameronHurley) to guide my design.
