They are amazing, and retain heat really well.

If they are too heavy, your brain may fall asleep happy, but your joints will let you know.

I generally drink tea because most espresso isn't enough to make my headaches stay away.

The drip-coffee drinkers I know would have... Major Issues if someone dared to suggest that coffee should not be ranked next to food and oxygen on their personal hierarchy of needs.

Tariffs have rapidly increased the price of coffee—a drink with almost no nutritional value and lots of functional substitutes. Yet coffee may also be the one thing Americans can’t live without, @elcush.bsky.social writes:

"You don't need coffee, like need-need it... right?"

It's like single ply toilet paper with splinters (or corncobs!) - you can cope, and spend your money on what's really important: more Police, and ESPN!

"Lots of functional substitutes" my ass.

Coffee drinkers don't drink tea, and sure as hell don't drink soda.

Caffeine addicts will take whatever they can get, and even they often have standards.

Cool. That would make sense, but I wanted to check.

The more people who report to MedWatch, the easier it is to identify statistical patterns that lead to non-bioequivalent generics being pulled from the market or coded as "your insurance can't insist you use this generic and your pharmacist can't automatically substitute it".

Are instant and extended release versions of a medication supposed to be bioequivalent (other than rate of release)?

If you were an admin or member of one of the Facebook groups that the DOJ jawboned Facebook into censoring, we want to talk to you!

Today following outreach from @thejusticedept, Facebook removed a
large group page that was being used to dox and target
@lCEgov
in Chicago.
The wave of violence against ICE has been driven by online apps and
social media campaigns designed to put ICE officers at risk just for doing
their jobs. The Departrnent of Justice will continue engaging tech
companies to eliminate platforms where radicals can incite imminent
violence against federal law enforcernent.

white flight ass technologists mocked us

And we don’t actually hold anyone accountable for abandoning Black and Indigenous people so I mean we’re shocked

Because this is “new” not years of anti Black/ Indigenous and immigrant policy

Chicago Sun-Times @chicago.suntimes.com · 14h

At the request of the U.S. Department of Justice, a Facebook group used by nearly 80,000 people to report sightings of federal immigration agents in the Chicago area has been taken down by the social media giant Meta, Facebook’s parent company.

Facebook suspends popular Chicago ICE-sightings group at Trump administration’s request

The group, "ICE Sighting-Chicagoland," has been increasingly used in the last five weeks of President Donald Trump’s intense deportation campaign to warn neighbors that federal agents are nearby.

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 (🧵)

If so, the man needs to sit down, shut up, take his lot, and go away.

It's a shame she has to deal with this.

Is it for interacting with clients? She's safer via video than call out, and has more control of her schedule than someone waitressing at a bar.

Is it for health and safety? Would he be so concerned if she worked at a chemical plant, welded, or fixed cars?

So my buddy Carlota, who is taking over Dogskull Patch, has a group of feral cats to deal. She’s been trapping and neutering as possible, but one sweetheart named Big Daddy showed up on the porch limping. Some asshole shot him. She’s raising money for his amputation and care. gofund.me/3b6cf293e

Sex Workers Alliance Ireland @swaiireland.bsky.social · 20h

It is disgusting to see a woman's income stream being used against her by her ex. This is why sex workers do not disclose their work and cannot step out of the shadows to advocate. There are dire real-world consequences when they do. Shame on this man.
