Kevin Kruse on why he's quitting Twitter:
This weekend … the new idiot owner of the site personally recommended a pair of anti-Semitic trolls as the best source of breaking news, and countless other frauds and know-nothings cropped up as well. ...

It found that tobacco-owned foods were 80 percent more likely to contain potent combinations of carbs and sodium that made them hyper-palatable. Tobacco-owned brands were also 29 percent more likely to contain similarly potent combinations of fat and sodium.
