Panera’s moderately caffeinated lemonade was loosely associated with 2 deaths before it was taken off market.

This article alone has 4 examples of ChatGPT encouraging young people to commit suicide, and OpenAI’s own public stats estimate over a million users discuss suicide with ChatGPT each week.

"Transgender for everybody" is a hell of a slogan, might be the new "eat the rich".

Pumpkins will be decorating porches tomorrow as we enjoy Halloween. They come to us thanks to workers like these NY state farm workers who were harvesting these heavy pumpkins last Friday in the rain. #WeFeedYou

Season 3 of The Diplomat continued the political hijinks in an alternate world where clever and competent folks are in government.

This was a fascinating read about The Black Death but took me a while. Great history of the interconnected societies of early 1300s Europe.

Definitely a "man bites dog" situation
NYPD reported more than 100,000 people protesting peacefully with "zero" protest-related arrests at No Kings, across all five boroughs. #NoKings

Take note of all these people turning out for protests in small towns in red states.

Remember them the next time you’re inclined to write an area off because “they voted for this.”

“To face down Donald Trump’s power grab and his terror campaign targeting “antifa,” we need everyone, of all walks of life, to proclaim that opposition to fascism is both laudable and urgent.”
Anarchists are known for our courage. We have gotten used to acting boldly in an array of contexts.

What is needed now is the courage to establish public positions around which a fighting movement can cohere.

This both scarier and simpler than many of the things we have done in the past.

Excellent thread on the price of clothing
This two-parter below is exactly why it's hard to make clothes in the United States.

Let's look at how much it costs to produce a button-up shirt in the US. 🧵

Mitchell & Webb Are Not Helping is another fine series of sketches. Nice to see a look inside the writers' room and I hope they get a movie out of Sweary Aussie Drama

The 2nd season of Shiny Happy People is another interesting story. This time it looks at the Christian right and their exploitation of teenagers around 20 years ago. Really disgusting to see hiw some folks wanted to use kids as cannon fodder.
