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 (🧵)

Why would a billionaire want a functioning paper? Functioning papers cover shit like “did you know this billionaire makes his workers pee into bottles instead of taking a break” and “you pay way more tax than a guy with ten yachts”

i thought the only thing that happened on twitch was people playing video games. are you and @rotopat.bsky.social playing madden or something?

i personally think the only exception to this very good rule is jon hamm, since his most famous role was as an ad executive. when he does an ad, it feels like it just becomes part of the mad men cinematic universe

the one i wish they'd get rid of is ineligible man down field. if a 370 pound offensive tackle wants to run 15 yards down field before a pass is thrown, i say more power to him

aikman likely also played through approximately 12 undiagnosed concussions too. i try to give him slack bc i think he actually does love ball, unlike a lot of announcers today

trump won NC by 3 points in 2024. he won by 1.4% in 2020. and dems are going to be outnumbered 11-3 in congress because republicans are flat out stealing seats. and this redistricting cant be veto'ed by the dem gov.

we do not live in a democracy, dont let anyone try to convince you otherwise.

North Carolina Republicans announced today they’re going to pass a new congressional map to draw a Dem out of Congress; they already did last cycle, going from 7-7 to 10-4. Thus would be 11-3. t.co/XLJIhe8vZn

Legitimately disgusting that were getting legal rigging of elections and nobody cares in the media or the electorate. This is not that functionally different than tossing out thousands of votes to help your side win.

my fav companion advice to this: if you read 25 pages and you dont like the book, you can move to the next one. you dont get extra credit for reading a book you arent into, and more books exist than you'll ever have time to read. so just read books you enjoy.
