I feel like if my fat 45 year old ass could easily get leverage on you and drop you, you don't get to claim to be part of a master race

Thousands of posts from a private Young Republican Telegram chat reveal a culture of casual racism/antisemitism, rape jokes and celebration of Hitler/Nazism.

Some of the ringleaders are below: We live in a world where 4chan types now occupy positions of real power.

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 (🧵)

I got to see him solo, just him and a guitar, in a church in Toronto in like fall of 2000 with a teenage Ben Kweller opening for him and it remains a favorite show of all time.

I'm sorry, is the Trump Administration talking to a tech platform?

Is it...requesting content moderation?

Today following outreach from @thejusticedept, Facebook removed a large group page that was being used to dox and target @ICEgov agents 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 Department of Justice will continue engaging tech companies to eliminate platforms where radicals can incite imminent violence against federal law enforcement.

It's such a great little venue, it was a real boon to get a house so close it. And I'm stoked for this one as I haven't seen Jeff solo in ages.

There is so much of this album that I've actually been hesitant to even start it - might try to remedy that this week while things are a little calmer workwise for a week

J. Tweedy, Twilight Override (***): As a middle-aged white dude who was big into alt-country in his teens and twenties, I know I'm supposed to be the exact demo for this. And there are some terrific songs here ("Enough" is an earworm). But my God, this project did not need to sprawl over 3 albums.
