I did a great deal of research putting this together, and I think it's highly relevant to current news on the Israel-Palestine conflict.

Q: Politico reported on a group chat of young Republicans. Does this just reflect some bad apples?

HOCHUL: Some bad apples? These are the future of the GOP. This is so vile it's hard to find the words to put into context ... there's gotta be consequences ... this bullshit has to stop.

I agree that there’s some real horrific irony in AI conglomerates being permitted to launch the Madness Inducing Porn Spigot while actual, human porn producers are getting harassed off the internet.

It feels like such a slap in the face to sex workers and nsfw artists who are actively being censored by payment processors atm. Of course visa/mc are ok with this because its a rich white guy doing it AND they get access to all that VERY PROFITABLE PII. Disgusting.

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 remember years ago a bunch of these goons were meeting with some experts to discuss plans for apocalyptic scenarios like runaway climate change, and the experts were proposing “how to prevent the scenario,” but the rich goons were focused on “how do we force our bunker security to stay loyal?”

Spoiler alert- it was a Catholic hospital. I’ve been reading stories about people being denied miscarriage and ectopic pregnancy care at Catholic hospitals for well over a decade now, and people have definitely died because of these policies, but maternal mortality data is imperfect.
