Ukrainians are not taking this renege on the trade deal sitting down.
Grist redeems itself after this horse (or should I say "turkey") shit. There is no such thing as humane turkey; there just isn't. As I tweeted in response to the second item, if you're gonna eat turkey, eat turkey, but drop any pretense that it's humane.
How to raise comfortable kids for empathy and gratitude, and how to maintain empathy ourselves (in which Kristof alludes to the 'bad decisions' of the poor that I mentioned a couple of posts ago). I find a common thread in these discussions of poverty and discussions of obesity, where people taking sides either assign or absolve blame, which is beside the point from both perspectives.

And I do agree with her that we can't pretend that obesity isn't a problem, and we shouldn't pretend that people can't do anything about it. I don't agree that shaming is the answer.
