Why is there lead in the effin whey powder ANYWAYS?
Holy shit, what is involved in manufacturing? The best brand in the market (optimum nutrition) has 0.8 the daily limit per serving.

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 (🧵)

In the banality of evil, arendt described Eichmann as a bureaucrat who wanted to advance his career when he accepted the design and implementation of the final solution.

Yea, @nytimes.com is marketing a stupid book shilling for skyscrapers because they create shade. You know, the thing trees create!

anyway, as a lower middle class kid married to a poet, one of my favorite pastimes is watching the U.S. media system go into over-drive to promote terrible books by unremarkable people if said people have connections and wealth

In the university I worked, the office of medical ethics was replaced by the office of corporate compliance.

"The institutionalization of medical ethics, by which ethics as a practice of critically questioning the good is instead replaced by a professional morality that gives us ready-made answers"

New article out this month on how doctors become fascists.

50% of German physicians joined the Nazi Party––twice the proportion of any other profession. US doctors today are arguably the most conservative in the world, and we're heading along a similar path.

Cute propaganda attempt, AppleTV. In the real world, U.S. precision and semi-precision missile reserves ran thin after barely a month of strikes. No sniper, real or fictional would volunteer for #Yemen duty.
I was really enjoying #TheGorge until this stupid scene took me out.

Watching invasion on Apple TV, and the amount of islamophobia portrayed by the showrunners is endearing. One of them will direct starwars.. i cant wait.

There are already too many educated people willing to follow evil. All the convincing they need is the sight of say.. (a black kid getting a free lunch) for them to reach for a hoodie.

I am so glad that i met staunchly racist garbage in all walks of lives. Doctors, scientists, academics, lawyers, policy makers, soldiers, and service workers.. bad people retreat to a sense racial superiority that gives them warmth, safety, security and self worth they severely lack.

Y'all talk about humanities preventing fascism as if you didnt read how deeply racist and totalitarian Hegel, Engels, and Nietzsche were! Poetry diploma won't save you, STFU.

Education -at large- MIGHT help save your soul from this, but it seems like a personal decision after all.

There is no right tone, it is a fool's errand. Regime propagandists made us jump like circus animals during the Arab spring with arguments like those. I finally shortcircuited it by becoming the most foul mouthed version of myself.

Owls in Towels @owlsintowels.org · 6d

9th of Owltober!

Found on a busy road, this tiny Saw-whet Owl was scooped up for treatment at JLS Wildlife Hospital at Cornell's College of Vet Medicine. Want to donate to Janet L. Swanson Wildlife Hospital? vet.cornell.edu/giving/ways-... Source: fb.com/279923781863... #owlsintowels #owltober 💛🦉🥝

A tiny Saw-whet Owl is cradled upright in a blue towel. Three hands - each wearing the same type of purple nitrile glove - surround the patient and through the power of deductive reasoning we can say at least two people are present. One hand lightly pinches the owl's legs between their fingers, with long pointy talons emerging from the owl's fuzzy toes like fangs. Fangs of the feet. A stethoscope with a bright-red handle is applied to the owl's chest, looked upon by the owl with cross-eyed astonishment.
