 Everything these days sounds like satire. This is not: Guardian Article Condemns Apple Pie as “Food Injustice”.
Half or more of The Guardian is difficult to distinguish from the Babylon Bee. Seems to me that their specialty to beclown themselves much of the time.
The apple is an import from the Chinese mountains. The pie idea has been around since there was flour - probably the Sumerians put some fruit or meat inside some dough.
In my view, the nurseryman Johnny Appleseed, aka John Chapman -(photo) did us all a great favor. I am not a big fan of fruit, but most people are. Well, I like cooked fruit in desserts because fruit is nothing but sugar anyway.
The idiot who wrote the Guardian article clearly did not know that pumpkins came from Mexico, not from England. Pumpkins, and all squash, were appropriated from Central American farmers by North American natives - and by the Spanish too. Shame on them.
For me, I prefer a Tarte Tatin with a hard caramelized crust to an apple pie. With some ice cream (invented in Egypt). Is that un-American of me?

Bjorn Lomborg wants to save the world. I am not sure how many African tribes want his salvation, but his idea of salvation is for all the world to be a bourgeois Scandinavian thing. An Ikea world I guess.
To save you the trouble, I listened to his entire conversation with Jordan Peterson. It was about Lomborg's list of apocalyptic worries and how to prioritize them. Don't waste your time, although Peterson tries his best.
If you are, as he is, anxious about global warming, simply advocate for nuclear energy. Simple. I do not worry about it all though anyway, but no global taxes necessary for nuke.

The IRS and Propublica:
ProPublica compared the amount of taxes paid by these people not to their earned income but to the amount their wealth grew during the period in question. That’s not an analysis of their incomes but their wealth. So, what ProPublica is engaged in isn’t a dive into our tax code but a speculative lobbying effort in favor of taxing wealth.

The white supremacy of Physics, at Quillette.
Linking these sorts of absurdities is becoming tedious, but I will include a quote from the article from some academics, which I feel indicates some mental disorder insofar as it sounds like an argument against testing hypotheses. I know it's really political rather than insane, but whatever:
Abstract: Black thought can help us free science from the white supremacist traditions of scientists. Scientists vs. Science will use Black feminist and anti-colonialist analyses to show that white supremacy is a total epistemic system that affects even our most “objective” areas of knowledge production. The talk hinges on the development of the concept of white empiricism, which I introduced to give a name to the way that anti-intellectual white supremacy plays a role in physicists’ analysis of when empirical data is important and what counts as empirical data. This white empiricism shapes both Black women’s (and other) experiences in physics and the actual knowledge produced about physics. Until this is understood and addressed directly, systems of domination will continue to play a major role in the practice of physics.
I took two White Physics classes in college. A few Chem classes too. There were people of all colors, ethnicities, genders, etc. in them. Tough classes, for me. Besides learning a heck of a lot about the natural world, I learned that I did not have a scientist in me. Fascination, yes. Potential, no.
