Just an FYI that CR might just be a better source for at least some food safety than the FDA…

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 (🧵)

Have been too busy with podwork and such to properly promote the pod. What a cruel paradox! Anyway, this is your reminder that the second episode exists and the third, featuring my friends at @tunneltalkpod.bsky.social, will be posted Thursday. It's early going but I think this is a good pod.

Library Pizza @librarypizza.bsky.social · 17h

The Internet in the Meginnis household has been repaired, the dust has settled a bit, and so there is now time to post belatedly account about the second episode of *me*, Library Pizza, a podcast about reading. It's everywhere you love to pod, including YouTube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=8eg4...

At the request of the U.S. Department of Justice, a Facebook group used by nearly 80,000 people to report sightings of federal immigration agents in the Chicago area has been taken down by the social media giant Meta, Facebook’s parent company.

Facebook suspends popular Chicago ICE-sightings group at Trump administration’s request

The group, "ICE Sighting-Chicagoland," has been increasingly used in the last five weeks of President Donald Trump’s intense deportation campaign to warn neighbors that federal agents are nearby.
