Paris Hilton backs two families' lawsuits against Provo Canyon School

I rather thought they were suggesting she had nothing special to redeem herself for.

At least £325bn of ‘dirty money’ flows through UK each year, says report

Explain, please. Do you mean to say that "we" left the EU because "The EU" might hamper the money launderers etc? People in cahoots with shady financiers promoted Brexit so they could keep getting their cut of shady money?

Seconded. The Bobiverse is fun.
I also recommend anything narrated by Ray Porter - he is excellent.

Labour must cease taking progressive voters for granted, says Sadiq Khan
Love that subtext.
I'm not in the UK, so there are probably years of nuance that I'm missing, but it felt like they forgot about actual labour voters immediately after the election.
Are progressives or real, avowed socialists so unelectable today that the Labour party has come to this?
I'm thinking back to my youth, when in honesty I didn't pay nearly enough attention to politics, but my thought was that they need more Tony Benn or Ken Livingstone than Tony Blair - say whatever else you like about those guys, but I don't remember them being apologetic for being who they were.

Are Dyson devices worth it or are there better alternatives?
I got a Miele after years of Dyson and Shark vaccums. They are old school canister style and use bags, but I have no complaints about it.

Imagining of London, England, in the 16th century AD
All the green parts are built up now, and for miles beyond.
You don't realize what a small area this is unless you know the modern area well.

Finnish sauna heat exposure induces stronger immune cell than cytokine responses
How does a Finnish sauna differ from any other sauna? I see it runs at about 73c which sounds fiendishly hot.

Just two days of oatmeal cut bad cholesterol by 10%

I feel bad that I'm not prepared to try to read and comprehend this entire document.
What I got so far is that people on a diet of oats boiled in water three times a day saw a significant change in cholesterol levels. People who ate it once a day saw potentially beneficial changes to their gut biome but no significant change to cholesterol levels.
I'm not eating water-boiled oatmeal three times a day, but if there is a more palatable message here (see what I did there?), I think it perhaps validates that oats really are good for you.

Shit about to go crazy
Looks like Francis Bourgeois to me. He's one of the most harmless people I've ever seen.

Well okay, but how long does it take to go back to where you were if you stop?
What do you do here? Periodically do an oat cleanse? Try to replicate the effects of the oats in a medicine or dietary supplement that can be administered?

Thank you for doing the hard work for me! It sounds as if there is no obvious downside to adding oats to your diet, and very likely benefits. I am sold.

That's a very good point. I'm sure whomever packaged the good part about oats would be looking for a healthy profit, too. Thank you for summarizing.
