I know this sounds like a wild idea right now, but you're actually supposed to have higher standards for conduct? As the Vice President?

"Our fitness-addicted leaders are straight-up giving themselves lead poisoning" would explain so much.

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 (🧵)

Was making progress on grading and then got plowed off course by "Chef Andrew Gruel, founder of American Gravy Concepts." So sick of living in a Pynchon novel, man.

Time to tune in to some analysis from Antifa expert…Chef Andrew…Gruel?…founder of…American Gravy Concepts?

Like, the problem here, as Pareene outlined in his Charlottesville post, is that this is the answer to the question "What Zoomer could possibly be attracted to what MAGA has to offer them?"

Scary Mr. Olmec Man @scarymrolmecman.bsky.social · 14h

I am only worried to a point about these racist Nazis succeeding Trump because in any scenario in which democracy is preserved in the United States the Zoomers will turn these freaks of their cohort into a permanent minority

It's fun to watch the NYT and such places anxiously search for signs that he's moderating while he dog whistles to me like this, now I know what it must feel like to be a Republican

Once again, being a sports fan is unfortunately helpful for understanding contemporary US. He went from "bad team owner (absentee)" to "bad team owner (constantly meddling). This is a common trajectory.

Important to note that this isn’t a problem for the billionaire buying media properties. If they make them into successful rightwing propaganda? Cool more money. If it fails? Cool they’ve destroyed one of the few outlets with the resources to investigate them. Either way they achieved their goal

Lmao WaPo has fewer than 100K circulation now. It turns out “alienate your liberal subscriber base” is not a good strategy when the Republicans also hate you. www.forbes.com/sites/andyme...

So much of their political identity is built around "don't worry, we're not like *those* freaks."
