Two weeks after a routine trip to a health clinic turned into a psychiatric hospitalization, Emma Troughton was on a plane to Denver. The intervention had been building: By early 2017, Troughton had struggled with body image and eating for years, first as a high schooler in Indiana piecing through their gender identity (Troughton is nonbinary) and then as a college student in California processing personal trauma. School-issued laptops sent Troughton down social media rabbit holes of unhealthy weight loss strategies. A password-protected blog became a repository for body measurements and bad information. Troughton crashed their car because of the brain fog and cognitive decline caused by their malnourishment. Providers at a campus health clinic were so alarmed they wouldn’t allow Troughton to return to class. After two weeks in a psychiatric unit, Troughton left for Denver. The city, they had learned, was a national hub for eating disorder treatment. “I felt this existential … [Read more...] about Colorado — a national hub for eating disorder treatment — hopes to slow surging rate of stigmatized illness

The Bay Area has a day to dry out before a new atmospheric river closes in on California. A storm will start late Monday and continue Tuesday before subsiding Wednesday. As a low-pressure system heads from the Gulf of Alaska to California’s central coast, it will steer the bulk of the atmospheric river to Central and Southern California. While the Bay Area will get rain, the bulk of it is likely to hit the Santa Cruz Mountains, with 2 to 3 inches. Bay Area hills and mountains could average 2 inches, while the valleys could get up to 1 inch. Another layer of Sierra Nevada snow The storm that dropped rain on the Bay Area on Sunday is likely to bring scattered snow to the Sierra Nevada through late Monday morning, with 1 to 2 feet of snow possible. Tahoe has a slight chance of snow Monday before the next storm approaches at night. The low-pressure system sliding down from the Gulf of Alaska will carry much colder air. Sierra Nevada snow levels could drop 3,000 to 4,000 feet by … [Read more...] about Another atmospheric river is heading to California. Here’s where and when it will hit

The angry emails poured into central office inboxes at San Mateo Union High School District. More than 800 missives from inside and outside the community complained about the district’s ethnic studies courses , saying the curriculum promoted left-wing dogma aimed at turning teens into angry activists. Superintendent Randall Booker didn’t believe that was true, but told The Chronicle the complaints stemmed from fear and misunderstanding about a course that older generations had never heard of and included topics that were taboo in public schools for decades. “We are fighting hate in real time,” he told the school board. To help quell the outrage, the district scheduled a school board study session earlier this month to delve into what is taught in ethnic studies classrooms and how to improve lesson plans. Meanwhile, officials plan to continue to roll out the course across the district. The controversy in San Mateo over the purpose of ethnic studies and how to teach it is … [Read more...] about California ethnic studies classes are sparking controversy as mandate looms

BBC Breakfast host Ben Thompson was left struggling to keep his composure as his co-star Nina Warhurst took viewers down a racy tangent on the show. READ MORE: Gethin Jones reveals BBC Breakfast group chat and Naga Munchetty's 'funny' antics Nina replied: “Well I have, did you watch Normal People? It was really brilliant, the Sally Rooney novel which was equally brilliant, and it was the first time intimacy advisors came to the fore in terms of filming. “But what this article is saying is that Ita O’Brien, the intimacy co-ordinator who was working on the show is launching a masters degree on the subject on training to be an intimacy co-ordinator.” Nina added that the degree had been sparked by the call for tighter controls for actors when filming sex scenes within film and TV following the Me Too Movement. Ben shared his scepticism as he replied in surprise: “A degree? “I can see why some advice and training would be helpful, but is it a degree?” Quickly changing … [Read more...] about BBC Breakfast Ben Thompson begs ‘let’s move on’ as Nina Warhurst makes X-rated sex quip

Bret Stephens: Hi, Gail. I guess we have to talk about Donald Trump’s potential indictment and arrest, right? But before we go there: You know how I told you that I’d vote for Ron DeSantis over Joe Biden? Well, never mind. Gail Collins: Bret! You’re gonna vote for our big-spending president? Student-loan forgiver? Tax-the-richer? Bret: I’m still holding out faint hope that Nikki Haley or Tim Scott or my friend Vivek Ramaswamy or some other sound and sane Republican long shot somehow gets the nomination. Gail: Happy to gear up for that fight. Bret: But for DeSantis to call Russia’s invasion of Ukraine a “territorial dispute” in which the United States does not have a “vital interest” tells me that he’s totally unfit to be president. He’s pandering to the Tucker Carlson crowd. Gail: The Terrible Tuckerites … Bret: He is parroting Kremlin propaganda. He’s undermining NATO. He’s endangering America by emboldening other dictators with “territorial disputes,” … [Read more...] about Never Mind About Ron DeSantis

Imagine walking into a party where you know almost no one (pathetic) — a party at which I, a stranger to you (probably), have arrived well before you (sorry). Should this occur in real life, it is inevitable that shortly after your entrance, as you are tentatively probing the scene in search of safe ingress into social traffic, I will yank you, abruptly, into the middle of a conversation. I will turn to you and start talking as if you’d been involved in the discussion for an hour. I will lob questions at you that are tailored so that any answer you give can be right. Soon, you will forget I dragged you into this interaction; your easy popularity will seem, in retrospect, inevitable. You will most likely feel at least vaguely friendly toward me, because I so clearly want to be your friend. And the whole time I am doing this — because, despite your rewritten recollections, I am the one doing all of this — I will be thinking: Oh, my God, I’m doing it again. I hate this. I hate this.

JERUSALEM — As Israelis get ready to go to the polls on Tuesday, a stark, fateful and long-deferred choice has suddenly reappeared to confront them after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s unexpected promise to begin extending sovereignty over the West Bank if he is re-elected. Do voters want to make permanent their country’s control over the West Bank and its 2.6 million Palestinian inhabitants? Or do they want to keep alive the possibility that a Palestinian state could be carved out there one day? That question has been made newly urgent by Mr. Netanyahu , who is facing a career-threatening challenge from a unified centrist party headed by a team of former army chiefs. His shocking announcement about Israeli sovereignty in the West Bank appeared to be a last-ditch effort to rally his right-wing base and stay in power. For supporters of annexation, it is not only this week’s vote that is on their minds but the American election in 2020: They call President Trump’s … [Read more...] about As Netanyahu Seeks Re-election, the Future of the West Bank Is Now on the Ballot
