Tease: Coming up in ___________ minutes, this diet may prevent memory loss  

The Mediterranean diet may prevent memory loss and dementia. According to a new study meals inspired by traditional foods from the sunny Mediterranean may lower your risk for dementia by interfering with the buildup of two proteins that are hallmarks of Alzheimer’s. For every point of higher compliance with the diet, people had one extra year less of brain aging. Unfortunately, complying with any diet has never been my strong suit. (Additional out) Which is good because my brain has aged terribly.  

Tease: In ___­­­­___ minutes, Facebook says they won’t police this  

Facebook says it does not want to police truth. The company’s independent board justified their ban on Trump yesterday based on his incitement of violence before and during the capitol attack and not on falsehoods. The board recommended extending the ban another six months, when it will be revisited. Gotta love it when you hire an ‘independent’ board to make the hard call and they punt it back to you. (Additional Out) Adding, look if we kicked everyone who lies on social media off, there’d be no one on social media.  

Tease: Coming up at ­­­­­­­­­­­­_____, a hockey game broke out during the brawl last night between these two teams

The bad blood between the New York Rangers and Washington Capitals began Monday when Capitals enforcer Tom Wilson committed a series of penalties, including one that knocked Rangers’ star Artemi Panarin out for the season. The NHL fined Wilson just $5,000 for the incident. Because it’s always effective to give someone a slap on the wrist when they commit assault at work. (Additional out) Roughly a tenth of what the NBA fines players for being late to a press conference nobody watches.

I’m gonna bid just so I can play my favorite game, ‘what does this button do?’
