Let them eat snake: scientists back python as sustainable meat
Dr Daniel Natusch has eaten plenty of Burmese python over the years. “At the risk of repeating a cliché, it tastes a lot like chicken,” he says.
“You run the knife along the back of the snake and you almost get a 4m-long filleted steak. Firm white meat, no bones. And then it depends on how you prepare it. I’ve had it barbecued, in curries, as biltong and, yeah, it’s great.”

The Fitzwilliam Museum has suggested that paintings of the British countryside evoke dark “nationalist feelings”.
The museum, owned by the University of Cambridge, has undertaken an overhaul of its displays, in a move that its director insisted was not “woke”.
Luke Syson said last week: “I would love to think that there’s a way of telling these larger, more inclusive histories that doesn’t feel as if it requires a push-back from those who try to suggest that any interest at all in [this work is] what would now be called ‘woke’.”
Hamas’s Gaza death toll is exaggerated or faked, statistics expert claims
Professor Abraham Wyner showed that the Hamas-controlled Gaza Health Ministry has been “faking” casualty numbers, in an article for Tablet Magazine on March 7.

People losing it over videos showing how unlivable Toronto’s condos have become
A two-year-old condo building in Toronto is being slammed for its tiny, overpriced units with awkward floorplans that many are seeing as an indication of how dire the city’s housing market has become.

Toronto isn’t building homes so much as it’s building high rise worker camps for Boomers to loot immigrant pay.

Americans turn their noses up at lab-grown meat
It’s nutritious and doesn’t hurt the planet, but lab-grown meat still has its problems.
Simply put: Americans just don’t want to put it on a fork and taste it.

The View’s Sunny Hostin Makes a FOOL Out of Herself on the Law and Crime
The View’s staunchly racist and anti-Semitic co-host, Sunny Hostin (the descendant of slave owners) often lords her long-ago past of being a federal prosecutor over the rest of the cast as they default to her for legal analysis. The problem with that is that her interpretations of the law and legal procedure are often colored by her political opinions and they tend to fall apart under even layman scrutiny. Well, that’s exactly what happened on Wednesday when her claims about reasonable doubt and crime were busted.
