Okay I rather like this response to mine and ⁦@jeffnobbs⁩ articles.

They’re kinda gentle on the canola oil part, but still pretty fair.

Either way getting mentioned in GQ is cool. gq-magazine.co.uk/lifestyle/arti…
Always worth remembering though that Crisco came out in 1910 and trans fats weren’t outlawed till the 2000s.

Awareness of how bad things are for us takes a very long time if you don’t use heuristics or understand what’s going on at a mechanistic level.
And writers like me have very little to gain by shitting on Oatly so much.

We just want people to stop hurting themselves and their children.
You don’t need an RCT to show you that parachutes help you survive skydiving, and you don’t need an RCT to understand why you should avoid canola oil.

There are now two versions:

"Just the basics" and the full course.

Both include 2.5 hours of brand new content on learning Roam from "Roam in a Day" filmed a couple weeks ago!

Hey everyone, I've been kind of hard on BitClout the last few days.

But I looked into it more and realized it's actually a really incredible opportunity.

Let me explain 👇
BitClout lets you buy a creator's "coin" so you can invest in their future growth.

Just deposit a little Bitcoin and you can buy BitClout, then use that BitClout to buy some of my coin!

bitclout.com/u/nateliason
What makes it extra cool is that when you buy some of my coin I get more BitClout.

So by promoting BitClout and encouraging you to sign up, I'm getting more of this new crypto asset.

I don't even have to put any money in!

Forget the edit button, Twitter should have a "stop spread" option on tweets.

It's perfect for when that half-baked tweet you sent after a few glasses of wine is getting way more reach than you expected and you want it to stop, but you don't want to delete it.
I've noticed that most tweets that do well go through a sort of cycle:

1. People who follow you and "get you" like and respond
2. People who they reach respond and engage
3. It keeps spreading to people who have no idea who you are and just want to dunk on randos
Something spreading can feel fun in the beginning then quickly become very unfun.

Especially since negative sentiment seems to spread faster than positive sentiment.

The more time I spend outside, the more in-tune I get with the low-grade anxiety from being inside for more than an hour or two at a time.

Gonna just push my desk outside and throw a tarp over it and hope it doesn't get fried by rain.
How did I get this thing in here? Guess I have to take it apart 🤦‍♂️
Flipping around wasn’t an option, and this was faster than taking all the doors off

Two weeks is pretty early to judge these things, but so far there’s no clear uptick in cases since Texas removed its mask mandate 2 weeks ago.

In fact they’re down about 30.7%
The real test will be at 4-6 weeks, but this is still great news.
Okay I checked the national numbers to get a base rate to compare this too and it’s even more surprising: nationally cases are only down 9%

Since moving to Texas I've bought three guns now: two hunting rifles and one handgun.

Myself and most responsible gun owners I've talked to agree that it is way too easy to buy guns, and there are so many reasonable restrictions that could be put in place.

One barrier...
Is that the extreme rhetoric around gun ownership on both sides makes it super easy to mischaracterize the other side's arguments.

Relevant: nateliason.com/blog/schroding…
Again, pretty much all gun owners I talk to are pro reasonable restrictions on gun ownership!

Pretending like anyone who owns a gun is "crazy" for wanting one only alienates reasonable gun owners, especially since there are plenty of legitimately good reasons to own a gun.
