Hard Pass

NutriTrace is a self-hosted nutrition / fitness tracker (Docker + Android, AGPL-3.0). rc.47 is the next public roll-up, bundling everything since the rc.42 broad release plus the small fix-only patches in between.

What's new

• Quick-view Foods sheet. Tap a food on the Foods tab and a slide-up sheet shows the full Nutrition Facts label, brand, and barcode, with Add to Diary + Edit buttons right there. The full Food Editor is still one tap away when you need it. Replaces the heavier "jump straight to the editor" behavior for what's usually a glance-at-info action.
• Scheduled automatic backups. Settings → Backup → Schedule lets you pick a time + frequency (daily / weekly / monthly). Server installs get an admin UI with optional ENV lock for managed deployments; the Android app does the same for offline-only users, writing scheduled backups to device storage.
• Copy diary items to another day. Unified copy sheet for a single item or a whole meal. Pick the target date + meal in one flow. Handy for meal-prep weeks where the same lunch repeats.
• Nutrient drill-down in the Diary Nutrition Summary. Tap any row (Sodium, Protein, Fiber, etc.) to expand it in place and see the top contributing foods sorted descending. Answers the "where did today's sodium come from?" question without leaving the Diary.
• Recipe / saved meal ingredient picker now searches every food source. Source filter chips (Local, OFF, USDA, Mealie, From Others) and a barcode scan button appear inside the picker, gated by what you have enabled in Settings. Picking from a non-local source auto-saves it to your local catalog first.

Fixes

• Sidebar was missing the Wellness link for Health Connect / Google Health users (#62)
• Imported foods showed the wrong photo after a sync round because the local image cache collided on OFF's structurally-identical filenames; cache keys are now derived from the full URL (#61)
• Sharing a log file or crash report from Diagnostics only saved the filename, not the contents — files now route through the cache directory so Android can grant read access (#60)
• Wellness goal progress bars stayed at 0 for Health Connect / Google Health users (#57)
• AI Assistant works with Gemini again — a schema field rejected only by Gemini's parser (#56)
• Manual Google Health sync no longer throws an unhandled rejection on Android (#55)
• AI proposal cards no longer stick around after a photo entry is committed
• Local Open Food Facts mirror nutrition data now loads correctly across every parquet shape encountered in the wild — rc.43 through rc.45 added parser support for Python-repr lists, Uint8Array buffers, and SQL NULL literals (#53)

Install / upgrade

• Docker: pull the new image and restart your stack (see the README for compose snippets)
• Android: signed APK on the release page
• Full CHANGELOG: main repo

After Canada’s economy slipped into a technical recession last week, a new outlook by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, or OECD, said on Wednesday said that GDP growth is set to rebound later in the year and continue growing into 2027.

“GDP growth is expected to strengthen over 2026 and 2027,” the OECD said in a note about Canada’s economy on Wednesday.

Canada’s GDP growth is expected to reach 1.2 per cent by the end of 2026 and strengthen further in 2027, reaching 1.7 per cent, the OECD outlook said, as the Canadian economy recovers from the shock of U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariffs.

“Household consumption and government spending on defence and infrastructure will continue to underpin growth, while business investment should recover gradually,” the report said.

...

Canada’s position as a net energy exporter will help exports grow over the next two years. Canadian exporters are set to benefit from higher energy prices linked to the Middle East conflict, it said.

While inflation in Canada could rise in the near-term, it will likely ease back to the Bank of Canada’s two per cent target over the longer term, the report added.

Two weeks ago, I was in surgery. Twenty-four hours later, I was released from the hospital and headed home. I felt much better and was happy to get to take a walk with the dog, hang out with my partner, chat over dinner, and watch an episode of an old British mystery series before getting my first real sleep in a week in our own bed.

This was thanks to the miracles of modern medicine. But it was no thanks to modern American healthcare, which, as I know from my recent experience, is fundamentally broken.

What I realized after leaving the hospital is that I was on my own. My care was coordinated while I was an inpatient, with primary care hospitalists managing a set of three different kinds of specialists; out in the real world, such coordination barely exists. My new condition is apparently chronic, so to get my ongoing follow-up care together, I am making appointments with specialists, arranging tests and scans, and generally being an “impatient patient” trying to fight my way to get what I need. But still, it’s an uphill battle. The system is sclerotic, and trying to get appointments, even for things I have been told are urgent, is a challenge. Getting the different specialists to talk to each other? That’s tomorrow’s struggle.

And I’m someone who has it good. I encountered people during my week in the hospital who would be released with far graver medical complications, far fewer resources, and far more obstacles facing them outside of the ward, from housing insecurity to substance use. I also have a bevy of friends who are physicians in the same healthcare system that cared for me, who can help me when things go awry. My privilege is enormous compared to most people facing down American healthcare in crisis.

House Democrats voted unanimously on Wednesday against continuing the Iran war without congressional approval — but a day later, Democratic leaders helped defeat a similar measure aimed at Israel’s parallel war in Lebanon.

The second measure failed 324-92 Thursday afternoon, a day after passage of a war powers resolution focused on Iran sent a message to the Trump administration.

Ninety-one Democrats voted for the measure sponsored by Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., to block U.S. support for Israel’s assault on Lebanon. 117 Democrats voted against.

Citing a range of drafting concerns, Democratic leaders voted against the resolution but promised to support a tweaked version from Tlaib in the future.

At least some pro-Israel Democrats, however, said they opposed to anything that would tie Israel’s hands in Lebanon.

As Israel’s standing in the U.S., and among liberals in particular, continues to crater, the mainstream American media is vaguely taking notice. But when they report on this increasingly potent political dynamic, national publications continue to frame it as a tension among Democratic voters — rather than a tension between Democratic voters and their party leadership.

“A Democrat’s Dodge on AIPAC Points to the Party’s Tensions Over Israel,” read one recent New York Times headline. “Tensions over pro-Israel lobbying group highlight rifts in Democratic primaries,” read another Reuters headline. “Israel’s subsequent military campaign in Gaza has driven a significant, deeper-than-ever divide among Democrats,” NBC News reported last week. “The U.S.-Israel alliance has rapidly gone from a point of bipartisan consensus to a wedge issue dividing both parties,” opined the Washington Post.

All of those were just last month, but the false equivocation goes back further. “The Democratic primary electorate,” The Hill informed readers in March, “is increasingly divided over Israel.” “Israel tensions threaten Dems’ midterm plans,” Politico announced in a January headline, which continued in the piece: “Just as Democrats are finding their footing by focusing on affordability, their differences on Israel are threatening to tear them apart.” “New York City’s annual Israel Day Parade has long been considered a bipartisan tradition — but this year, the event is becoming a symbol of the growing divide within the Democratic Party over Israel,” Sinclair’s National News

There’s only one problem with the “tensions,” “divided,” and “wedge issue” framing: It is not supported by any polls. The “divide,” such as it is, is increasingly not among Democrats or even liberals; it is between the supermajority of Democratic Party voters and party leadership. While party leaders such as House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and Senator Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, and big Democratic donors, are pro-Israel, actual Democratic voters have moved on from Israel with remarkable speed and consistency.
