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 (🧵)

Look I've been holding off from months asking this on Bluesky because of my pride but I need help.

My car needs brakes, my rent is past due and my step kid needs shoes.

I hate having to ask this

More and more, I’m convinced NYC’s lack of public restrooms should be a bigger scandal than it is.

People who don’t understand that “character doing bad things” ≠ “the author supports this character and does bad things” should be beaten with sticks.

You know, putting aside for the moment that Columbus very much does not deserve a day (even by the standards of his contemporaries) but why give HIM the day and not Amerigo Vespucci since the continent and our country are both named after him?

Look, I'll meet you at the corner of 29-5/8ths Avenue and 7-15/16ths Street. I don't see what's so hard about this.

I missed Caturday, so enjoy this.

Biden's cease-fires got 135 living hostages released. Trump's got 20 (which is less than it would have been had he enforced the continuation of the January cease fire).

Or maybe, just maybe, what was obvious in 2024 was correct: Netanyahu fully backed Trump and would not deal with Biden because Trump would give him a free hand to escalate the starvation, bombing, and do full ethnic cleansing. Which he then did, until Netanyahu embarrassed him by bombing Qatar.

"Biden never properly motivated himself with several billion dollars of Saudi-Qatari bribes or else he could have gotten this done."

No, you don't gotta hand it to him for possibly getting the third Biden cease fire eight months late after tolerating a mass starvation campaign and demanding a little ethnic cleansing and enormous bribes as a treat, and only because Netanyahu surprise bombed the chief bribe facilitator.

עֹשֶׂה מִשְׁפָּט לָעֲשׁוּקִים, נֹתֵן לֶחֶם לָרְעֵבִים --- ה' מַתִּיר אֲסוּרִים׃
Brings justice for those who are wronged,
Gives food to the hungry ---
Sets prisoners free.

In the Jewish calendar, it's an intense day today. A day that carries joy, and is also part of the days of awe.

That feels about right at the moment.

Two MKs (one Jewish, one Palestinian) disrupted 45/47's "Victory" lap in the Israeli parliament. All they did was hold a sign that read: "Recognize Palestine!"

They were swiftly removed.

Grateful for a ceasefire. But this isn't justice. It isn't a "peace process" of any kind.

"When we hear and accept what we hear without meeting others, without asking how can it be, without looking for friends outside our circles, when we accept hatred for a group as a legitimate discourse – Pharaoh is alive and well, inside ourselves."

This is an important thread. There are probably several hundred Federal agents who were sent to Chicagoland last month. They have inflicted cruelty & misery, they’ve gassed, & even shot & killed people. Every person they kidnap is a tragedy

But they actually haven’t got man people considering…/1
