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 (🧵)

Look. What I say to you is this.

I'm aspirational for our young people. Work hard. Get good grades. Leave school and start a business as a self employed paper boy.

We're going for growth!

There was a great story a while back about a guy and his girlfriend getting stranded in the desert and the only number the guy could remember to use at a payphone was his ex’s.

They got rescued but that was the end of the relationship.

For entry into our Christmas Day, for decades, it has been compulsory to don a tutu & wig handed out at the door.

Gonna go several levels up and order a variety of these inflatables for this year’s celebrations (I’ve warned them all, no abstainers so far 😁)
