An electric ice-cream maker was listed at just $17.99 at Amazon and Best Buy. Then it became unavailable at Best Buy, and more than tripled in price to $59.99 at Amazon. Here’s how it happened… 🧵

I'm heartbroken to share that Marvin (known to readers of There Is No Place for Us as Maurice) died earlier today in a workplace accident. He was 43. Natasha (Natalia in the book) asked me to share this news because she is too devastated to do so herself. We are all in shock.

"🚨💔 My daughters are sick and starving. Mahmoud's condition is getting worse every passing hour, and his mother is dying before our eyes. We have nothing left to keep our family alive. Please don't let us die in silence. Please save us before it's too late. We are dying😢🆘" chuffed.org/project/omsham

Gotta reup @lukeoneil47.bsky.social's reprint of the section of my book on politicized mourning and who is granted dignity in death, for no particular reason.

The so-called Minnesota 15 defendants are teachers, union organizers and transgender rights activists who pushed back against Operation Metro Surge. The Justice Department wants to try them as terrorists.

Om jameel:Time is running out,&my deteriorating health is putting my life at serious risk due to a heart valve.My condition has worsened after I suffered a shoulder infection inside our tent in Gaza.&I have no one to care for my kids save my shoulder with injections 200$😭 chuffed.org/project/1839...

I cannot overstate how much I hate when people are dicks about babies crying in public (especially airplanes). Do you think the parent is having a good time right now?? Do you think they are not aware of the situation??? Are you going to negotiate with a literal infant????

VIVA VIVA PALESTINA!! THANK YOU LAMINE YAMAL THANK YOU SPAIN FREE PALESTINE!

surely there is no easy solution to this problem

Hachette is owned by Vincent Bolloré, a French billionaire who considers he has a 'civilisational mission' to turn Europe to the far right and specifically refuses to have 'faggots' in the TV shows his company funds

I understand that sadly people think Gaza is played out or that the fundraisers are all scams. But please see for yourself that the takeover of Gaza is escalating rapidly. Help however you can. I am supporting my friend Tasneem and her family. No amount is too small. chuffed.org/project/1587...

Please share. There was a horrific attack targeting a queer couple in Mesa, AZ leaving them requiring surgery with broken bones and torn our piercings. Folks are working on positively ID’ing the attackers but for now, here’s a way to support:

I did a bit of very minor digging and Taylor Farms also sells under the brands Earthbound Farm and Eat Smart. In addition to Taco Bell they also supply to Chipotle, McDonald's, Olive Garden, and Red Lobster. Are these compromised? Who fucking knows 🤷🏻‍♀️ but better safe than sorry.

Props to consumer reports for their journalism here. Since Taylor foods and the FDA are not disclosing where all the lettuce went they’re doing a great job trying to figure out the details. For now they’re recommending everyone trash all their iceberg. www.consumerreports.org/health/food-...

UPDATE: Jack in the Box just confirmed to me that it also received the cyclospora-linked lettuce from Taylor Farms The lettuce was sent to Jack in the Box stores in Texas, Oklahoma, & Louisiana. The company says it told restaurants to remove the product after learning about the issue on Thursday

Elias survived Gaza terrifying bombs,but now asilent darkness is stealing his beautiful eyes.Amidst ruins,his vision fades&my heart breaks.Please dont let eternal night trap my sweet baby in this hell.Help me save his sight before its too late! 😔 Verified by:molly shah✅ chuffed.org/project/1624...

Emma Landis is the woman who was shot, and here is her gofundme. The gofundme contains a narrative about what happened: the woman was engaged in peaceful protest, spoke to an agent, and he shot her in the foot. www.gofundme.com/f/support-my...

Taylor Farms grows lettuce in Salinas and Yuma. They also buy from other farms and process produce all over, incl Mexico & Europe. They've caused multiple outbreaks and sell under a variety of brands/labels to consumers and restaurants/food service. They're about a third of entire US salad market.

NEW: Aurora Police say an ICE detention center employee shot a protester last night. She is expected to survive. 42-year-old Brandon Booth, who works for the ICE contractor GEO Group, is being held on suspicion of attempted second degree murder and other charges.

Under Gaza’s bombs & starvation, Nurse Hammam volunteers to heal the wounded. His family is homeless, hungry, without a tent which the scorching sun has melted, & now they are sleeping on the street. Please don’t let them die. they need $150 to buy a new tent. Save them 😭 chuffed.org/project/1844...

Ok not to defend Taco Bell but they're not the ones growing the lettuce and they seem to have pulled the ingredients the moment they realized the danger. I'm sorry Taco Bell makes you poop otherwise but idk that this one is on them.

For folks struggling to figure out how to deal with wildfire smoke, I put together some information a few years ago: apihtawikosisan.com/2023/09/miti...

Re-upping this since the latest round is targeting Natives. But also this is preying on people’s good nature, since so many of the AI videos set up a narrative where a marginalized person is seemingly bullied for their art/craft.

Welcome to Puppy Court

RIP Sam Neill, truly a king of cinema, and by all accounts one of the good guys. Aside from his film work it was always a delight to see his super chill farm life with his chickens Usain Bolt, Meryl Streep and Bryan Brown. Just seemed like a lovely person, and a terrific actor.

HUNT FOR THE WILDERPEOPLE is a gem of a film, anchored by Sam Neill. Add it to your watch (or rewatch) list.

my god, this is amazing. apparently from a NY Times interview with Neill and Goldblum. Resharing with alt text so everyone can enjoy

Never forget that time Sam Neill gave a quote about murder that was so beautifully kabonkers, we all assumed it was a Clickhole bit initially

... Well, this one stings.

Worth mentioning that Andy Beshear went on MSNOW and said he believes he has the constitutional power to appoint someone to the position of federal officer and he hopes Mitch McConnell gives him proof of life by tomorrow. Then within a few minutes is when we got that photo.

"i wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy" i would. that's the point of having a worst enemy. grow up and hate people like an adult

It’s like when your food is taking a long time to come out so your server brings some free bread to apologize for the wait.

Lindsey Graham died as he lived: in Mitch McConnell’s shadow

Here is Graham gloating about "killing all the right people." Just in case you see anyone try to do the whole "we should have decency for the dead" nonsense.
