Drinking alcohol doesn't help you live longer. Instead, it is at least, a risk for illness
Why was it common knowledge yesterday that alcohol in moderation is good for you, but it’s common knowledge today that no amount of alcohol is OK?
Turns out the "French paradox" (that the French live longer because they drink wine) is wrong - the factor is mostly the Mediterranean diet, including more fruits and vegetables. Also;:
- The French to under-report heart-disease deaths
- 4% of all cancers and 15% of breast cancers are related to drinking. (Only 39% of Americans know that alcohol causes cancer)
- Big Alcohol companies pushed the falsehood (surprise!)
- A bias on helping a minority (alcoholics) made it look like they were the only ones endangered by drinking

♲ @[email protected]:Literally gonna fucking cry right here right now. That’s why I pay tribute to Medusa🖤🐍
A 2,134-meter tall statue of Medusa holding the severed head of Perseus has been installed in Manhattan, across from the NY County Criminal Court, the site of high-profile abuse cases.
Medusa was stalked and raped by Poseidon and then blamed for it, and cursed by Athena with snake hair and turning people into stone statues. She was banished and so Perseus killed and beheaded her. Turning into a "Hero"
This statue "flips the narrative" as a way to bring justice to the character and the countless real-life Medusas. Who suffer the same fate due to the lack of justice in the world...

"Rochko told the Financial Times he had received offers from more than five US-based investors to invest 'hundreds of thousands of dollars' in backing the product, following its fast growth."
"But he said the platform’s non-profit status was “untouchable”, adding that Mastodon’s independence and the choice of moderation styles across its servers were part of its attraction."
“Mastodon will not turn into everything you hate about Twitter,” said Rochko. “The fact that it can be sold to a controversial billionaire, the fact that it can be shut down, go bankrupt and so on. It’s the difference in paradigms [between the platforms].”
"This month, Twitter temporarily suspended the accounts of Mastodon and several journalists, after they shared content about the flight path of Musk’s private jet. Twitter also suggested it would ban links to rival social media platforms including Mastodon but later reversed course on the policy."
"In a blog post in response, Rochko said this was a “stark reminder that centralised platforms can impose arbitrary and unfair limits on what you can and can’t say”, adding that monthly active users of Mastodon increased from 300,000 to 2.5mn between October and November."](https://media.mstdn.social/media_attachments/files/110/268/234/625/165/060/original/83386d19f6eb3604.png "Screenshot of more text from same article, continuing the opening paragraphs:

Earlier today, I used a #MacroLens to #photograph a subject close up. Now I switched to a #telephoto lens with a #FocalLength of 400 mm to capture objects effectively at #infinity.
You may have seen some of my #sunset #photographs before and, yes, it's the same #horizon and the same old #Sun but this one caught my eye because of its sharpness. There wasn't a cloud in the vicinity of the Sun when it was setting. You can see the bright, smoothly varying #yellow, #gold and #orange of the #sky contrasting the dark, sharp #silhouettes of the #trees in the #foreground. Also there's that mobile phone mast too.
#Cropping the image around our local #star, you see the #trees in what I'm calling #ExtremeSilhouette as the blinding light of the Sun seem to flow around solid wood and renders it invisible with only the ends of branches seemingly suspended in mid air disconnected to the trunk and giving the Sun the appearance of having spiky hair.
