All my fellow queer lifters, give this article a read just in case your regular protein is on this list. I’m probably going to avoid buying Muscle Milk from now on.

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 (🧵)

everyone needs to internalize that this is just how all republicans are and when nancy pelosi said "the country needs a strong republican party" she meant that more people like this should be powerful. they are all like this! they all think just like this and like trump and they love it and it's fun

POLITICO: “.. They referred to Black people as monkeys and ‘the watermelon people’ and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies .. and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery.

One of the most messed up parts of the "nazis are sexy and funny now" GQ article about Nick Fuentes is that it doesn't cite a single source or data point. It's all just vibes. I have no idea how something like this made it past an editorial team unless it was clearly a story they wanted to tell

traced this rumor across TikTok and Tumblr. I watched fancam edits, mapped accounts, and interviewed a dozen people in their twenties and early thirties, both people who’d made posts about Fuentes and those whose fandom was more private.

TikTok is where most outsiders misread the signal. Fuentes is extremely shareable — he basically speaks in soundbites. Every other line is a joke, and many of those jokes land. When they don’t, that in itself can be funny. His thick Chicago accent, his cartoonish tone of voice—the man was made for broadcasting, for better or worse.

It’s true that he has inspired a viral “sound” several times, but on TikTok that doesn’t equate to fandom. A sound is just a short audio clip that users layer under their own videos. It might come from a movie, a podcast, or a livestream; it doesn’t matter who said it. What matters is how easily it can be reused to set a mood or deliver a punchline. Popularity here measures remixability, not admiration. Serial killers, pedophiles caught red-handed, and random bystanders could theoretically all go viral this way. Fuentes happens to clip well.

There is a dedicated and TikTok-native Fuentes fandom, but searching through the misspellings and alternate tags that users reference him with (to avoid the filter TikTok uses to suppress content about him), only a few prolific editors dominate the results. The rest is noise—ephemeral accounts spun up around attention spikes.

The interviews I conducted reflect what the feeds suggested. Several sources said their very online friends, regardless of politics, share Fuentes clips because he’s funny. The same people said no one they know actually watches his multi-hour streams. One woman described him as “weirdly unhateable,” and suggested he’s a bit of a meme—another way of saying the trend is more of a joke than a nascent political shift.

There is, however, a small female fandom orbiting Fuentes, many of whom identify as being on the left. On Tumblr, a community cal…

Breaking: Text messages of Young Republican groups across the country have just been leaked.

They talk about putting Democrats in “gas chambers,” attacking “Jews,” calling Black people “watermelon people,” calling to “rape” their enemies, and bringing back slavery.
