KFC drops pledge to stop using ‘Frankenchickens’ in the UK.

Ditched voluntary pledge to improve animal welfare.

Corporate pledges mean nothing when it comes to profits.

Only legally enforceable requirements can hold corporations to account.

CHERS FULL NAME IS Chernobyl

Low Quality Facts @lowqualityfacts.bsky.social · Nov 25

I owe you all the deepest apology. It has been brought to my attention that my facts are enabling fascism and destroying democracy. I am especially sorry for stating that:

-Every month is National Potato Month.
-Optimus Prime is the only heterosexual Transformer.
-Cher’s full name is Chernobyl.

You are looking at what a russian loss would look like if this, as common sense logic dictates, were to be executed in 2022.

However, we are looking at this in 2024, when it no longer has a tipping point military effect.

This is how de-escalation and negotiations escalate a war

It's almost like all those billions that Russia made by selling S400 anti-aircraft systems to their partner nations was was just another Russian scam.

Last night, Russia's Kursk region, ATACAMS cleanly take out Russian S400 air defense systems.

Our Research Core cannot stop laughing at a picture they found of a man in a 1912 Michigan newspaper just labeled "Dick."

There is no mentions of a person named Richard or Dick, nor did this picture have any context.

Evidence of Incels existing in 1906.

A "Dead Wife Joke" in a Nebraska newspaper.

The more we read old newspapers, the more we realize that newspapers were filled with the same crap you could find in twitter posts.

I just finished reading Sex Cult Nun, and I truly didn't think things could get any sadder after the author left "The Family".

But listening to her Ted X made my heart break even more for her

No ketchup. No mustard. That's a hotdog purist if I've ever seen one. Could Venom defeat Joey Chestnut in a hotdog eating contest? Someone needs to start writing that fanfiction immediately because I simply must know.

What is preventing World War III? Ukrainians are containing the ongoing war in Europe to their own country; they are deterring war in the Pacific; and they are preventing spread of nuclear weapons. These scenarios have not played out because Ukrainians take risks

So, another drone attack just started in Kyiv. I moved my son to sleep in a corridor. He just calmly asked me:
Is it drones or missiles?

And, honestly, I hate russians for the fact that he even knows these words at his 5

Excessive deregulation means that the UK is hurtling towards the next crash

Deregulation creates opportunities for bankers to take reckless risks with other people’s money, collect bonuses and destabilise economies.

Every #podcast tends to have that one moment when a #joke hits a little too hard.

It takes us a moment to recover, we sometimes have to put the joke teller into the joke penalty box.
