We need this to penetrate public consciousness.

Sooner or later they come hat in hand to govt. They will tell SNAP recipients to β€œget a job.” To billionaires peddling an idea no one needs, they open the coffers filled with our tax dollars.

AS AN EXAMPLE: Aurora, Colorado. Dominated by conservative politics for over a decade. All five city council seats last night? Won by Democrats.

And not like, the kind of milquetoast centrist Democrats we've been told are the only kind of people who can win.

Why We Tested Protein Powders and Shakes. Since our last tests
of protein powders 15 years ago, protein has become the centerpiece of the wellness craze. Heavy metals were widespread in protein supplements back then, and today, they’re even worse.

Why We Tested Protein Powders and Shakes. Since our last tests of protein powders 15 years ago, protein has become the centerpiece of the wellness craze. Heavy metals were widespread in protein supplements back then, and today, they’re even worse.

the results of this investigation surprised me. since CR last tested protein supplements in 2010, protein mania has swept the nation. protein isolates (the key ingredient in supplements) are in everything these days, from pasta to starbucks cold foam

but as the industry has grown, so have the risks

The AI boom is unsustainable unless tech spending goes β€˜parabolic,’ Deutsche Bank warns: β€˜This is highly unlikely’ | Fortune β€œIn the absence of tech-related spending, the U.S. would be close to, or in, recession this year,” George Saravelos says.

DEUTSCHE: NVIDIA "is currently carrying the weight of US economic growth. The bad news is that in order for the tech cycle to continue contributing to GDP growth, capital investment needs to remain parabolic. This is highly unlikely.”

CNN. The initial report, also called a bulletin, typically include all information gathered in an investigation so that agents anywhere will know what is being collected - but the information is not always correct.
The ATF bulletin said that agents found engravings that they interpreted as
"expressing transgender and anti-fascist ideology" on ammunition inside a weapon believed to have been used in the murder of Kirk.
Two law enforcement sources told CNN that agents quickly ran an initial search on one of the markings, including a series of arrows, which analysts initially interpreted to be a connection to the transgender community.
That information remains unverified and is still being investigated.

The markings that supposedly expressed β€œtransgender ideology” were………..a series of arrows.

Charlie Kirk Was Shot and Killed in a Post-Content-Moderation World Videos of the shooting spread across TikTok, Instagram, and X. Researchers say that in some cases the platforms are falling short on enforcing their own content moderation rules.

In recent years, many platforms have significantly scaled back their content moderation efforts.

β€œIt is absolutely impossible to take down or add warnings to all of these horrific videos if you don’t have a robust trust and safety program,” says one expert.
