It's so amazing right? Love the rain. Also, coffee soon, because I want to hear all about Italy <3

Yah, this is really good journalism, honestly -- because I would never have guessed this either. But it does make sense -- there's no real standards for this stuff.

Heh. I guess the thing where I was too lazy to buy a blender and get into making protein shakes was good, actually. Yiiiikes, the numbers on vegan protein especially are so fucked.

paris martineau @paris.nyc · 14h

nearly all the plant-based products we tested had elevated lead levels: vegan powders had 9x as much lead as dairy and 2x as much as beef

though dairy-based powders had the lowest levels, half were still too contaminated for safe daily use

you may be asking: how could this be? well...

THE BEAVER FLAG

Christina Holland @mortalwombat.info · 13h

I was looking through Revolutionary War flags and most of them are variants on the Betsy Ross flag and there's the Gadsden flag but I think this one's my favorite. He's WATCHING you

Oh! He is an interesting character, for sure. But it does make sense that perhaps you would not have encountered him. Call of the Wild is still widely read here but not all that much of the rest of his work.

Ha ha ha, yah -- I do not think it quite meant the same thing, but now? A very funny name for a boat.

love old books. this is a 1911 edition of jack london’s cruise of the snark. i pulled it, because it has london’s account of seeing surfing at waikiki just as the sport was being revived.

This @davidjroth.bsky.social joint @flaminghydra.com is the kind of culture writing I love. It’s about One Battle After Another and the film serves as a starting point for a bunch of interesting ideas.

If you like good writing on the internet, Flaming Hydra is pretty great, actually.

Chasing weird bits around the internet, I found a hilarious 1985 photo spread from Rolling Stone featuring Madonna cavorting with a crew of pro surfers. There are a lot of bright colors and Madonna plays the ukele lol
