my latest investigation for @consumerreports.org is based on months of reporting and 60+ lab tests of leading protein supplements we found that most protein powders and shakes have more lead in one serving than our experts say is safe to have in a day (🧵) www.consumerreports.org/lead/protein...

This remains the most important piece i’ve written about the goals and ideological principles of the second Trump administration www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc... bsky.app/profile/jame...

this is how I, a resident of LA, found out that the Palisades fire was arson, that they caught the guy, and that he used gen AI to work his way up to doing the crime

CHATGPT: I understand where you're coming from. You worked really hard to get here, and now it's time to enjoy the fruit of your labors. ISILDUR: So I should keep it? Elrond says I shouldn't CHATGPT: The ring is precious. Sometimes friends don't have your best interests at heart. ISILDUR: true

Not happening somewhere else. Here. In America. Right now.

One of their defining qualities is that they think if they cozy up to the truly violent and venal members of the tribe, they'll be spared. They won't. It'll come for all of them, after it's come for the rest of us.

and scene

they’re intenionally advertising to and recruiting far right loyalists. they post and reply to explicit groyper memes. they’re not super subtle about what this government is

So yeah I mean like this is suppression of freedom of the press. Journalism organizations and outlets should be throwing their biggest dicked lawyers at the state to keep Mario from being disappeared, just out of professional solidarity, but we know they won’t.

A Charlie Kirk fan stalked these teenage girls for months, did livestreams where he harassed them, and murdered them after one of them said something critical of Charlie Kirk. This should be headline news. It’s a horrific tragedy.

Trump comments on the opposition: "I  thought [I] would be met with fury on the left, but they're sort of giving up."  "I really thought that we were gonna have to sort of fight it through. There's been no fight."

The mainstream media shift from just using someone’s gender pronouns like normal to always clarifying that “this person is trans” and that this is their “preferred” pronoun is weak ass shit. Go take a beta blocker you nervous rats.

Now might be a good time for Democrats to remind people that when they return to power they will not hesitate to prosecute people who murder civilians.

the president of the united states wants to use the american military to kill american citizens on american soil. that's the whole story!

Shameful from Pink News here. The threat in question is a month old social media post that they’re spuriously linking to current negotiations. This sort of cheap and misleading fearmongering from the queer press is doing Trump’s work for him.

Reports indicate at least one boat the U.S. labeled 'narco-terrorists' in the Caribbean turned out to be a fishing vessel. (NYT)

The top 10% now hold 67.4% of all the wealth in the US. The bottom 50% hold 2.5%.

One Battle After Another and Sinners both lay out a formula for cinema success: diverse movies where white nationalists get duffed in the most graphic way possible shot and presented in increasingly baroque high resolution formats.

A lot of people assume that Amsterdam has been biketopia since time immemorial but it actually was car hell for decades before the citizens became fed up with car fatalities and forced the government to rebuild everything around mass transit and bikes. It took time and will, but they did it.

This is much, much more significant than the Comey indictment but has gotten like 0.1% of the media coverage

BREAKING: The Gaza-bound aid flotilla says it has “credible intelligence” that “Israel is likely to escalate violent attacks on the flotilla within the next 48 hours,” possibly using weapons that could scuttle boats or cause fatalities. 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.io/e2pi2j

At some point my parents turned into the Wario/Waluigi version of themselves

Please join us tonight, rain or shine, for a mass mobilization to make clear: We want ICE out of New York City. We won’t stop showing up until they stop abducting our neighbors.

donald trump is going through full brandonization at an alarming rate

This is walking the walk, wow — most candidates would sooner swim in a sewer than turn down a televised town hall

A black screenwriter was dragged off a train alter an elderly white woman complained to police about the way he was sitting!! Alex O'Keefe In route to Connecticut,

Between killing kids by taking vaccines away and censoring comedians, I almost missed this story outlining what is plainly the largest case of public corruption in US history. UAE gets a boatload of rare AI chips in exchange for the Trump family receiving a cool $2 billion crypto infusion

so many little humiliations under fascism. i’m supposed to say something nice about Jimmy Kimmel?

Beyond cancelling Kimmel's show are about 200 writers and crew members in LA who just lost their full time gig.

The US is like if religious psychosis was a country

Hi guys, did you already know there are competitions for window tinting? With better commentators than most of the tennis matches I’ve watched on ESPN? (Low bar I know) Anyway if you need to procrastinate harder than you’ve ever procrastinated before, I got you

The right wing billionaires are soon going to control almost every single major media outlet.

the thing about american gun culture is that there’s an online-poisoned local kid with a deer rifle in basically every town in america

They tried desperate to cook a trans shooter story before there were any facts and not w that reality blew that out of the water they’re still desperately trying to find a way to blame trans people for it.

luigi mangione murdered a healthcare executive and opposed "wokeism." i don't know why people insist that killers need some coherent ideology. most people don't even have coherent wardrobes, let alone a coherent worldview.

[the shooter is unidentified] the left must be purged with the sword [the shooter is, again, a compulsive masturbator who loved Hitler] I believe it was pascal who said that the heart has reasons that reason may not know

Controversial opinion, but I think trans people should feel safe here on bluesky, and nazis shouldn't.

That both of Turning Point USA’s founders are dead from public health crises their organization worked hard to enable is a parable for our time.

I don’t mourn Charlie Kirk much, though I do feel empathy for those who cared for him. But I am grievously concerned for what is going to happen to this country next, because political violence never rests easy on the marginalized.

See? This is a good political response to what happened (if you must). Acknowledge, but make sure you get in something about how the right is constantly fomenting violence.

Someone on Facebook linked to a classic speaker builder page of a guy who built a subfloor into a huge subwoofer. web.tiscali.it/royaldevice/...

the right is genuinely so afraid of zohran mamdani it’s quite astounding to witness them openly bribe in such a pathetic way

The Krasue is a GNARLY Thai folk monster and it's cool to see Dead By Daylight go for it as viscerally as the source legends require.
