Tuesday evening roundup

I'm pretty good at reading faces.

Ashkenazi Jews are genetically European.

Twitter needs women to succeed.

Today in how is this journalism? from the Post, you may find yourself asking the following very obvious questions: shouldn't someone who's interested in a weight-loss diet be willing to plan their own meals? since when is vegetarianism a "fad diet," rather than a lifestyle (see your own linked article), with ethical benefits as well as nutritional ones? And what's wrong with the following statement: "unless you plan appropriately, meeting your recommended daily allowance..." of certain nutrients "can be tricky." C'mon, bitches: use your f*ing heads. Meeting your nutritional needs on any diet--and by diet, I mean the way one eats, not a way of eating with a goal in mind--"can be tricky" unless you "plan appropriately." And if you click on that second link, here's my advice: don't write down what you eat. Don't turn food into something joyless.
