i half-think that republicans know that lead poisoning can only help them gain votes, and they intentionally keep stuff like this around as a kind of holy sacrament that generates morons to join their covenant

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 (🧵)

You can identify a true William Shakespeare fan because they’ll often refer to him as Dickie Shakes
