In that uncomfortable spot where I can’t watch Slow Horses because then I won’t have Slow Horses to watch for another week.

“Hey, remember how you said you’d never be the kind of dog owner who dressed his dog up in costumes? Remember that?”

Seriously this is the most disturbing thing I’ve read in a while.

“Ha-ha, those idiots in the Roman Empire using lead for their utensils and plates and drinking vessels. Now to have a big healthy quaff of my protein shake and read Consumer Reports…”

Christopher Farnsworth @chrisfarnsworth.bsky.social · 1d

I like where this could go. You should be writing X-Men.

“There is no safe amount of lead, and we think your exposure to it in the food and water supply should be as low as possible.”

paris martineau @paris.nyc · 1d

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 (🧵)

Protein Powders and Shakes Contain High Levels of Lead - Consumer Reports

CR tests of 23 popular protein powders and shakes found that most contain high levels of lead.

Also, Logan dislikes Scott because Scott keeps his volcanic temper under control, proving that it’s possible; Scott resents Logan for failing to control himself, proving that people will forgive him anyway.

1. Cyclops is better than Wolverine
2. Paul Smith was the best X-Men penciler
3. Krakoa should have kept going
4. They’ve swung too far on the “Professor Xavier is a jerk” pendulum
5. Five-year moratorium on Phoenix, Logan’s past, Beast/Colossus as a traitor, or anyone returning from the dead

X-Men Don't Need Britches 💙💛 @rphutch1975.bsky.social · 1d

What's an opinion about X-Men that'll get you sent to jail? Is Jean really interesting or really boring? Should Logan have stayed dead? Do you think a certain x-mens outfit is positively horrendous even though people seem to love it?

The Brood Saga is better than Dark Phoenix imo 🤷

Hey! It’s raining in LA. That means it’s a perfect day to pick up FALLEN STAR by @leegoldberg.bsky.social and read it in one sitting, like I did.

Also telling that Alex Jones is so awful not even the Roberts court is willing to grubby its mitts pulling him out of the fire.

I remember when it was hard to find 80s music! Seems like a parallel world now. The belief that grunge would rule forever was embedded in so many people.
