I know everyone's got the "pretends to be shocked" gif joke here but...it's legitimately kind of shocking to SEE their conversations with each other when they don't think there's anyone around who's gonna call them out or hold them accountable for their words. Disgusting humans.

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 (🧵)

Federal Secret Police and plainclothes ICE agents kidnap multiple people from a neighborhood in Chicago. They then deploy teargas and brutally beat neighbors who come out to express their concern.

It is tacky for really famous people to be in TV commercials for products. Their gambling debts/boat repairs are not my problem, those roles should belong to actors like the Time To Make The Donuts guy and the actress who said "who are you calling a cootie queen you lint licker" in that Orbit ad.

The Strib’s Karen Tolkkinen has devoted column after column after column to her stubborn belief that trans kids are destroying opportunities for girls to compete in sports at school.

It’s her weird mission. She’s fucking obsessed.

Anyway, great letter from Max Maher today.

Karen Tolkkinen's column "Transgender athletes should not compete with girls, but everyone deserves a place to play" (StarTribune.com, Oct. 9) builds its case on emotion, not evi-dence. She acknowledges that "nobody knows how common" transgender athletes are in Minnesota, yet argues for restrictive policies anyway. That's not fairness; that's fear.

There's also no evidence that transgender participation has taken opportunities from anyone. The Minnesota State High School League already reviews eligibility case by case to ensure both inclusion and competitive balance. The system is working as intended - quietly and responsibly.

The idea that girls are being forced to sacrifice is a political talking point, not a measurable fact. What's really being asked of us is whether we believe every student deserves a place to belong, even those whose identity or experience we may not fully understand.

High school sports were never just about winning. They teach teamwork, discipline and self-respect, lessons that lose meaning if we start excluding students who simply want to play. Protecting opportunity for all young people is how we strengthen fairness, not weaken it.

MAX MAHER, Plymouth

If a school paid me $50 million to not coach I would devote at least $1 million of that to various petty stunts like having a plane fly over the stadium and dump fake dollar bills with a picture of my face on the crowd
