can the next big term that gets treated like 'abolish' and 'defund' where it's not the exact right term to use to beg for table scraps, be 'expropriation'

this word feels like it is crackling with electric power right about now

"The United States struck another small boat accused of carrying drugs in the waters off Venezuela, killing six people...It’s the fifth deadly strike in the Caribbean"

again, merely political consequences for wanton murder aren't enough.

This is huge news!
UBC has developed an enzyme that can convert donor organs to type O, making them universal.
Normally a using organs of the wrong blood type causes the recipient's immune system to attack the organ, leading to failure.

Hamas gathering forces and working to reassert control sure doesn’t look like Hamas disarming and accepting an international security force in charge of Gaza.

Weren’t we told to gush with praise for the brilliant diplomacy that solved the big problems? Could’ve sworn that, it was just this week.

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 currently about 12,000 registered supplement manufacturers. last year the FDA inspected only 600 of them!

when the agency does do inspections, it overwhelmingly focuses on domestic manufacturers. that's a problem because a LOT of these materials are sourced from foreign factories
Manufacturers generally don’t even have to notify the FDA when introducing a new product. A 2023 Government Accountability Office report found the FDA’s oversight of the supplement industry so lacking that it urged Congress to expand its authority. The report noted that the FDA relies largely on voluntarily submitted complaints and inspections to identify safety issues and ensure companies are complying with manufacturing guidelines. Those inspections cover only a fraction of the industry. There are currently about 12,000 registered supplement manufacturers, according to an agency spokesperson. Last year the FDA inspected only 600 of them: 510 domestic and 90 foreign. With so little oversight, people who turn to supplements out of concern for their health are left to navigate the risks on their own. “When these products that should be straightforward contain more heavy metals than expected, that exposes the challenge for consumers these days,” says Cohen.

Hello~ i wrote something for @theverge.com about the surreal horror of online transness in a fascist surveillance state.

it’s time to change tactics and make ourselves less legible to this machinery of death — but *without* sacrificing our connection and community.

The internet once helped trans people connect and organize. Now it’s a dangerous liability. What comes next?

"breakneck speeds" is quite literal at the peak of motorsport, with F1 Drivers experiencing up to 6Gs of lateral acceleration in snap corners. This requires powerful necks and they have to exercise to endure the machine
