I can usually handle it, but maybe I shouldn’t eat while I watch.

They’ve been making some tear-jerkers lately! NGL I uglysobbed through a lot of the Amelia episode. The one where Louise reads her Christmas poem got me too. And the Rudy ep, my goodness.

A man (60s?) carefully fixes a wobbly table before producing a newspaper and pen.
Moments later, his wife joins him.
Talking softly with heads bowed together as they do the crossword, laughing at each other's silly guesses. (1)

Man, facts don’t mean a thing to these jackals. They’ve been too busy getting off to videos of ICE cracking skulls to pay attention to the tariffs. 🫠

Sounds great, unfortunately Godzilla wasn’t up to the task.

Screenshot from a video game (?) with Godzilla stomping around between skyscrapers. A text screen at the bottom shows a woman saying “Go ahead and destroy the financial district Godzilla. Make the people happy.”

Yeah, the Discover tab routinely shows me the posts of people I follow which haven’t shown up in my regular feed. It’s frustrating.

As commenters observed, toxic ideology + toxic supplements explains a lot about the manosphere.

Great thread. Vegan supplements were the worst offenders, but all of them are fucked up.

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 (🧵)

Man, you’d think they’d do something with Lapsang Souchong for the Bela’s Ashes one. Seems obvious to me. A blend, maybe, but still.

one of the reasons they're so mad at "no kings" is that they thought they were going to get a different kind of protest. they *want* the black bloc to be out there fighting with the cops. those are the images they've been trying to generate from "go." instead--

MAGA Rage at “No Kings” Boils Over—and It Quickly Backfires on Trump

I need to listen to The Raincoats more. Right now they’re still in the “I’m glad they exist, but I don’t really know their music” category.

Also a big fan of this cover. I recommend listening to it in the car and turning it up really loud so his voice kinda reverberates in your chest cavity
