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.

For those not fluent in Catholic: refusing the Monstrance is not denying prisoners the Eucharist, it is refusing Christ himself, since Christ is present in the Monstrance.

If Portland’s blow up animals are the right language for Portland, this is the right language for Chicago.

Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: “No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”

now that I think about it a big part of why I like MGR’s writing is because the game basically goes out of its way to say “Raiden is not a good person, but he can still use what he’s good at (revenge) to be a hero anyway”

Valk @einherjarvalk.bsky.social · 5d

also love that Raiden’s arc in the game is basically “I’m a hero who fights for those who can’t protect themselves,” gets lectured about how he’s just really good at killing and enjoys it, at which point he goes “you’re right, also I’m gonna use that to fight for those who can’t protect themselves”

mcdonal is doing the monopoly thing again and if you didn't know, it's considered a sweepstakes which means they need what's called an "alternative method of entry" for people who don't want to pay. you can request free game pieces (which occasionally are free food) 5 times per day here

This is going around again and it is not true. Like every site on the internet, Bluesky uses machine learning to do a first-pass approximation of image classification to detect and label content. They have repeatedly confirmed outside services do not use Bluesky user data to train their models.

RSS is, and I say this without hyperbole, an incredibly useful tool for psychological independence in the current environment. Newsblur, as Vajra suggests, is good, I use Feedbin, there are others. Most remarkably easy to set up.

Vajra Chandrasekera @vajra.me · 8d

Speaking of the well-deserved death of social media, I've started using Newsblur as my new RSS reader (had to clean up a depressingly large number of dead links, including to sites that still publish but no longer have RSS feeds) and that does still in fact provide a source of good internet

Spotify has the WORST audio quality out of every other streaming platform

It is also the most expensive

They support Joe Rogan

Apple and amazon let you upload your own files to the library.

Tidal and Apple have spatial audio even on PC (need atmos+AC3)

There is no reason to use spotify

Libraries are good y'all

Do you have a library card for your local library? No? Could you get one? Cus they do monitor stuff like that when it comes to funding, and again I can't stress this enough: libraries are good

In honor of National Poetry Day, the greatest parody rewrite of all time:

Screen cap of parodic version of William Blake's "The Tyger" that begins:
Tyger! Tyger! Burning bright
(Not sure if I spelled that right)
What immortal hand or eye
Could fashion such a stripy guy?
What the hammer that hath hewn it
Into such a chonky unit?
Did who made the lamb make thee,
Or an external franchisee?
