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 (🧵)

So is it a small, but violent and radical group or a large group because they’re all paid protestors?

Counterpoint: No. and rename the whole city while we’re at it. (I’m Italian-American, btw)

Going to be amazing to continue the narrative when it’s all senior citizens waving American flags.

WIRED spoke with Mark Bray, the Rutgers historian trying to flee to Spain with his family after an online campaign from far-right influencers was followed by death threats. He was turned back from the airport on his first attempt.

I’m sorry, what now? Not only should his wife do all the cooking, but she shouldn’t even be seen doing it?

I thought this, from his Substack, couldn’t possibly be as bad as the title indicated. I was wrong.

A 1950s-style image in which a woman spoon-feeds her husband. The image illustrates an article titled “For Marital Harmony, Reject Open Plan Kitchen Diners”.
The subtitle reads “Keep your wife in a separate kitchen”

Text from the article:
“What can be done to reduce arguments over household chores? I'm not an egalitarian; thus, 1 am
going to resist the inevitable push from the feminists for me to do more of the washing up, cleaning and cooking, indeed: I expect my wife to cook, clean and wash up for me in exchange for a stipend.
Nevertheless, my solution below works pretty well for those who want an egalitarian or nonegalitarian relationship in the household. My solution: Buy a house, or, modify an existing house, which keeps your wife in the kitchen all by herself where she can't be seen until dinner is brought out.”

They need to go all Groucho Marx on her and ask, “when did the president stop the treatment for his dementia?”

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 13d

Q: The president posted an AI deepfake of himself talking about Medbeds. What was he trying to communicate and why did he delete it?

LEAVITT: I think the president saw the video and posted it, and then took it down. He has the right to do that.

Also heard AA defined as “13 square miles surrounded by reality.” So watch out for Ypsilanti I guess.

Literally heard this weekend about a guy who is afraid of parts of Ann Arbor. Like completely normal “donut shop and Indian grocery” neighborhood.

Fair enough. I can only imagine a robot for the laundry and dishes anyway. And that just seems creepy.
Heard a consultant at work yesterday say that we will come to think of AI agents as people/colleagues and I shuddered.

I want AI to do my laundry and dishes so that I can do art and writing, not for AI to do my art and writing so that I can do my laundry and dishes.

I was looking up the cast of Spinal Tap (don’t judge me) and came across this AI gem. It’s actually telling me that the Lenny character is not in the movie, lmao. (I knew the answer to the displayed question because I am old, just wanted to see how it was handled.)

Google telling me that no, Lenny from Laverne and Shirley is not in This is Spinal Tap. Then immediately letting me know that the same actor plays both roles, which is what the original question was asking, of course.

I passed a house last weekend where the occupants have displayed a giant “Hillary for prison” sign for going on 10 years now.
