TITLE: Childhood junk food may rewire the brain for life

URL: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/05/260520093807.htm

Eating too much junk food early in life may rewire the brain in ways that last into adulthood, even after switching to a healthier diet. Scientists found that high-fat, high-sugar diets changed feeding behavior and disrupted appetite-control regions in the brain. Excitingly, certain gut-friendly bacteria and prebiotic fibers appeared to help undo some of the damage.

hello! i am looking to fix a particular issue with #godot, #gut, and #fmod.
i am trying to establish a ci pipeline that does a godot unit test on each push through github actions. with this i am using the command-line script that comes with gut.
godot --headless --path "$PWD" addons/gut/gut_cmdln.gd

it initialises fine, however it stops at fmod initialising.

[FMOD INFO] ../../../core_api/src/fmod_systemi_sound.cpp in SystemI::createSoundInternal(): Sample 0/1: name='click', format=5, channels=2, frequency=48000, lengthbytes=4736, lengthpcm=24000, pcmblocksize=0, loopstart=0, loopend=0, mode=0x00000000, channelmask=0x00000000, channelorder=0, peakvolume=0.332162.

after this, gut does nothing until i exit the script manually. i am not sure how to proceed from here and my googlefu is failing. did anybody try to do something similar and how did they proceed?

“You should never wait for the world to catch up to your obsolescence." - Futurist Jim Carroll

Here's a truth to consider: your gut feels the pivot long before your head admits it.

Sometimes we are forced into a career change or pivot. Other times, we need to make the decision on our own.

Either way, it's a gut-wrenching moment.

I know that when I was thinking about leaving the corporate world behind back in 1990, I was pretty miserable. My career track had changed due to a merger; my opportunities vanished; my successful path forward was now in doubt. And yet, I struggled mightily with the idea of moving from career certainty to becoming a self-employed unknown chasing a future that didn't yet exist.

But I went through with it, and it turned out to be the right thing to do.

Here's what I've learned in the decades since: when a pivot is forced on you, you go through something a lot like the stages of grief: shock, denial, anger, and eventually acceptance. When the pivot is your own choice, the same thing happens, just in slow motion. You sit in denial that things have to change. You get angry that they have to. And eventually, hopefully, you accept it.

As I wrote in my book Now What? Reinvention and the Role of Optimism in Finding Your New Future, the faster you get to acceptance, the quicker you can reinvent.

So how do you get to acceptance? You learn to recognize the signals. Some triggers will tell you when it's time:

The expiry of your relevance

The "soul-crushing" signal

The need for reinvention velocity

The "Sunday night" signal

Read about them in the full post.

And one trigger that sits apart from the rest: if you are drowning your career misery in substance abuse, the pivot question has already answered itself. The first move isn't a career change. It's getting help, from yourself or from someone trained to give it. The pivot comes after.

Here's the filter, though: not every bad week is a signal. Burnout, a difficult client, a rough quarter — those are weather, not climate. The triggers above only matter when they become persistent, structural, and patterned. If a vacation fixes it, it wasn't a pivot signal.

You should never find yourself thinking "I should have jumped sooner."

Because when you wonder if it's time to pivot, it probably already is.

Spatial structure shapes #microbiome function, but how does it emerge in the #gut? This study shows that bacterial growth in the viscoelastic matrix of gut contents generates clusters periodically broken by #peristalsis, linking gut mechanics to the microbiome @PLOSBiology https://plos.io/3OGsLUX

Simulations of your #gut may predict which #probiotics will stick
Commercial probiotics work for some people, one-size-fits-all approach hasn’t reliably benefited consumers. Instead, new simulations can predict whether a specific #bacteria strain will successfully take up residence in a person’s gut.
The simulations, called microbial community–scale metabolic models, are built on what scientists already know about how #gutbacteria eat and use food.

"Chase the BIG things!" - Futurist Jim Carroll

Futurist Jim Carroll is writing a series, The Art of the Infinite Pivot, based on 36 lessons from his 36 years as a solo entrepreneur, working as a nomadic worker in the global freelance economy. The series is unfolding here, and at pivot.jimcarroll.com.

When big, bold opportunities are unfolding, do you chase the big ideas or keep doing small things?

The art of the infinite pivot involves the former, obviously, not the latter.

Big trends involve big opportunities, but only come around so often. So why would you wait?

Think of it this way: the biggest pivot of your life won’t start with a spreadsheet or a market report.

It starts when you finally choose to listen to the quiet, internal voice inside you telling you to leave the safety of "certainty" for the risk of something bigger.

When I quit the corporate world in 1990, I didn't have a 50-page business plan. What I had was a gut feeling that something massive was happening with global networking. I just knew I had to be a part of it. I had no idea where it was going to take me, what I might do, or how I might shape my tomorrow.

But I just knew... so I traded a predictable salary for the unpredictable thrill of the unknown.

I stopped chasing the "safe" path and started chasing the thing I actually wanted to chase.

It worked out pretty well!

Unknown to me at the time, I was deeply caught up in one of the most important aspects of innovation of all - emotional commitment to a bigger trend. And that is the lesson many leaders miss: true innovation requires an emotional investment in a bold future. You'll only accomplish big things if you innovate within the bigger trend.

My early pivot has continued through my career. In fact, throughout my 36-year voyage, the moments of greatest growth always happened after I abandoned the "proven" model to follow a bigger signal that only I could hear.

Look, certainty is comfortable, but being bold takes you further.

Don't wait for the world to permit you to change.

Listen to your internal voice.

Chase the thing you want to chase.

Because it might be in front of you right now.

It's no wonder that the title of one of Jim's books starts with Think BIG...!
