Tuesday roundup

The better side of TNR, on Gaza.

We still believe Jackie, because.

Police killings of unarmed people of color are not isolated incidents and we need systemic reform.

Why do we excuse bad behavior (especially) among people who really don't benefit society?

Ladies, watch the ostentatious breastfeeding.

A former Burger King CEO crosses over from "the dark side of food."

People care about their food more but do those newer egg farms still ground up male chicks?

There are some things you can't just scale up.

Maggie Simpson got published, but I'm pretty sure she would have written a better paper.

Women diet but won't admit it but know it's not a cool-girl thing to do. So much to quote:
As with men announcing that they love the “natural” look while actually preferring women in make-up, what’s really going on here is men asserting their privilege both to have good-looking women to fuck and to be kept in the dark about all the bothersome work that goes into it.
and
It’s good to stop shaming people for being fat, but that doesn’t excuse shaming people who, for their own reasons, prefer to eat a certain way and exercise heavily to keep their weight lower.
