You just never know what you’re gonna see when you turn on a baseball game. Sometimes it’s an 8-6-2-2 double play, others it’s a leadoff homer by a 21-year old, but if you’re really lucky it’s a Spanish-language commercial for Skunky rinse-free shower wipes

Q: Politico reported on a group chat of young Republicans. Does this just reflect some bad apples?

HOCHUL: Some bad apples? These are the future of the GOP. This is so vile it's hard to find the words to put into context ... there's gotta be consequences ... this bullshit has to stop.

- A South African national who mocked those grieving Charlie saying "they're hurt that the racist rally ended in attempted martyrdom"
-A Mexican national who said Charlie "died being a racist, he died being a misogynist" and stated that "there are people who deserve to die."
- A Brazilian national who said "Charlie Kirk was the reason for a Nazi rally where they marched in homage to him" and that he "DIED TOO LATE."
- A German national who celebrated Charlie's death + wrote
"when fascists die, democrats don't complain."
- A Paraguayan national who said "Charlie Kirk was a son of a b**** and he died by his own rules."

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 (🧵)

lastly, a common rebuttal to contaminant reporting is that there are unavoidable levels of lead in lots of foods. some context:

taking just one serving of one of the powders we tested would expose you to 45% more lead than the average american gets from everything they eat/drink in a day combined

@realDonaldTrump

I believe that China purposefully not buying our Soybeans, and causing difficulty for our Soybean Farmers, is an Economically Hostile Act. We are considering terminating business with China having to do with Cooking Oil, and other elements of Trade, as retribution. As an example, we can easily produce Cooking Oil ourselves, we don’t need to purchase it from China.

77 is at least 7 years older than anyone who is making policy should be. My fucking kingdom for 65 to be (re)normalized as retirement age, but at the very least no one who isn’t likely to be alive to see the consequences of their policy decisions should be making them.

Here's a fun NBA question: not including past teams of the franchise you're a fan of, what was your favorite team to watch of all time?

For me, my favorite non-Timberwolves team to watch were the Adelman Kings. No team has ever had a prettier half court offense

Begging the people who raised these Hitler Youths to do at least like a tiny bit of reflecting on what the fuck went wrong, but I don’t have much faith in American adults in that regard. Surely there’s nothing a parent could do to steer their kid away from being a genocidal maniac.

POLITICO: “.. They referred to Black people as monkeys and ‘the watermelon people’ and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies .. and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery.
