Why would the cartels want to stop ICE and CBP activities that have been diverting resources away from drug interdiction?

NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it.

The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait.

At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.

I’m not quite sure how to put this, but Battlefield 6 would be a helluva lot more interesting if it really had a forcefem dynamic.

A screenshot shows a tweet by user Grummz. In the top tweet, Grummz expresses disappointment, saying:

> "They got me.
> They f-ing hid it. All the marketing buried this stuff. Sneaky.
> Players are complaining about gender locked characters, and how audio is full of women screaming during firefights. You are forced into being female for some roles."

Below that is a previous tweet from the same user dated July 31:

> "Battlefield 6. Not one woke trope in sight.
> Gaming is healing."

The tweet includes a screenshot from a military video game showing a tank in a city environment with soldiers in combat gear.

Oh! This actually makes sense!

Like it's obviously very bad but also it's FASCINATING because this is the same problem chocolate has: plants are bio-concentrater of heavy metals, and the more refined the plant product is, the more of said heavy metal you're going to end up ingesting

Bad! But cool!

"The lead levels in plant-based products were, on average, nine times the amount found in those made with dairy proteins like whey, and twice as great as beef-based ones."

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 (🧵)

there are four key texts as far as i'm concerned and they are The Sims, Dwarf Fortress, Caves of Qud, and Crusader Kings 3. lots of other seminal games out there but you play those four and you've unlocked the magical door

It's actually good to point out Bari Weiss's shitty inaccuracies, her lack of any real journalistic experience or original ideas, and the fact that she's failing upward, promoted by antidemocratic oligarchs who have no interest in reporting the truth.

Tough being the person that doesnt know where the burn cream is.

Also tough being the person that knows where the burn cream is.

The secret is being able to respect and understand the dissonance between you in embodying these roles.

That is the true journey of a marriage.
