So people actually want to do this?

I use a powdered mix (not the specific one tested) from one of these companies most days. The company's response is pretty unimpressive. In fact, none of the companies responded with "OMG we're going to fix that immediately!" which is kind of what you hope. These products aren't cheap either.

my latest investigation for @consumerreports.org is based on months of reporting and 60+ lab tests of leading protein supplements

The regime is trying to normalize the extrajudicial murder of anyone it claims, without evidence, is a terrorist. It is not normal, it's a crime. Keep saying it.

Occasionally I go down a rabbit hole reading quoted posts and comments, looking up terms and memes, trying to understand wtf is being discussed and eventually realizing it's just bad posting. This is among the worst aspects of social media.

I wish my parents had named me Wilfred Pickles.

Brian Groom @groomb.bsky.social · 1d

Actor Wilfred Pickles, b.Halifax on this day 1904. He was invited to read the national radio news in WW2 because Brendan Bracken, minister of information, believed a northern voice would be an inclusive gesture and would be difficult for German propagandists to impersonate.

Hammer horror is pretty well lit. It's really bad when you're looking at a movie going "I can not see what is happening."

When anti-choice activists used to physically prevent access to abortion clinics by using their bodies then go limp as police removed them, they were not beaten, thrown, or gassed.

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.

“Why are they upset about the frog?”

Because the frog has power. As silly as it sounds. The frog is not just a good idea. It’s our greatest weapon.

And I’m going to explain why…

In the lead up to the US invasion of Iraq in 2003, Natalie Maines of the Dixie Chicks said on a London stage, "We do not want this war, this violence, and we're ashamed that the President of the United States is from Texas."
The public backlash was severe and the group was effectively canceled.

Trump to the Israeli Knesset: "We had a very weak administration. Worst president in the history of our country by far. And Barack Obama was not far behind, by the way. They did nothing with this incredible document -- the Abraham Accords."
