More like cereal infiltrating your bowl of cereal after being poured out of an unlabeled clear bag.
“You’re never gonna believe this, but someone snuck Cheerios into my bowl while I was pouring from this sack! The container wasn’t labeled, so I couldn’t possibly have known what was inside, despite it being plainly visible and entirely out in the open”
Why the fuck do we care what musk thinks about anything? Jesus fuck just ignore the asshole. His endorsement means nothing.
He kept his two income streams tied together, so that when one ran into trouble it took the other one down with it. He could have just as easily kept the business separate and potentially been able to keep one of the income streams working when the shit hit the fan.
Depends on what he means by “ultra-processed”, but you can bet that it’s probably not a reasonable criteria that he’ll be using.
The man isn’t rational, and doesn’t base his conclusions on sound reasoning.
Note the call to lessen regulations around “raw milk, chelating compounds, ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine”. That’s pretty insane.
And I can almost be certain that what they’ll do is eliminate funding for snap benefits and school lunches going to what they’ll classify as “ultra processed foods”, without adjusting funding to account for what they left behind being significantly more expensive. Some definitions of “ultra-processed” include things like “store bought bread”, “frozen meals”, “soup concentrate”, “yoghurt” and “sausage”.
Call me cynical, but I think if you apply the stricter work requirements for benefits they always want, while reducing the scope of the benefits to cover fewer things, and almost nothing helpful for the people with the severe time restrictions the work requirements can cause you’ll end up seeing people use the benefits far less often, because they give less usable food for the money. Then they’ll use that to justify reducing the size of the program even further.
We expect people making school lunches to make hundreds of meals that finish at the same time, to have the meal be nutritionally complete, tasty, and now also not use frozen or premade ingredients. We give them literally $1 for the ingredients for these meals, and maybe another $2 for operational overhead like labor costs and equipment.
Saying you can’t use canned tomato sauce, peanut butter, pre-packaged bread or ground meats is basically just cutting funding for feeding children under the guise of not paying for a scary sounding classification of food.
Ha! I didn’t see that at first. I love “fuck you so hard that we can and will put a significant dollar value on it being more humiliating”.
The assets were auctioned off to pay his debt to the families of the Sandy Hook shooting.
So effectively they gave money to the families of children killed in a school shooting that he slandered in cruel and vile ways.
Given that the families pretty reasonably dislike him, the added bonus of his creation being used to openly mock him and promote a message they endorse is quality icing on the cake.
His supplement business was under the same business ownership? That’s preposterously stupid and hilarious.

There’s a massive difference between the social stigma attached to coming out, and the revocation of the legal rights associated with marriage.
It’s not even that long ago that people couldn’t visit their life partner in the hospital following an accident, because they weren’t married.
Limited access to certain types of contraception in certain areas is a very different beast than overturning the case that ruled that contraception isn’t criminally indecent.
If you don’t know how far civil rights have come even in the past 20 years, or how much further back than that they openly want to push things back, I don’t think you’re paying attention.
Abortion had just as much legal protection as porn or gay marriage, and it “wasn’t going anywhere” until it was suddenly gone.
What have they got to lose?
Gay marriage, contraception, porn, legal divorce? Just off the top of my head.
The notion of getting a special edition white one, then swapping the shell to a custom black is funny.
Right? Like, four years ago we had to shutdown big chunks of the world, inject trillions of Dollars of money into circulation to keep things vaguely moving, millions of deaths, logistical and manufacturing delays galore, and people are pissed that we’re not better off than we were before. So pissed that they want to take control from the people who have been turning it around and give it back to the people who fucked it up in the first place.
I had two premature babies in the NICU (twins with last minute maternal complications, everyone is fine but things were early), and they benefited so much from donor milk.
Newborns in general and preemies in particular have basically no immune system. NICU preemies are also susceptible to a very serious intestinal condition that can cause parts of their intestines to die.
Breast milk is filled with antibodies and various immune response related proteins that help bootstrap their immune system and might essentially prevent the intestinal issue entirely.
Once you’re developmentally advanced enough there’s no real long term difference between formula and breast milk, but before then the immune compounds we can’t make synthetically are basically medicine.
It’s a little odd because breast milk seems more intimate than something like blood, but it’s arguably more impactful.
Codifying a right in the constitution when the case law making it legal has been explicitly name dropped as something to overturn by a supreme court justice is not in the least performative.
Before Roe was overturned, it was understood that the supreme court didn’t flip precedent because it messed with too much stuff, removing legal assumptions that people have been relying on, like unconstitutional laws banning gay marriage or abortion being inapplicable.
There’s a finite amount of political will. Expending effort to make a change, even a positive one, that doesn’t actually show a benefit takes more of it than something with perceived immediate benefits.
For obvious reasons, codifying those protections feels less redundant at the moment.
And, for reference, the US ingredients list:
Which is basically the same. Biggest difference seems to be the food coloring.

Tldr: a lot of people assumed record turnout because we had higher registration numbers. Those predictions were in some cases wrong.
Additionally, at the time the election was call, not all the votes were counted. California was only about halfway done counting, but could be safely called for Harris. So the vote totals when the election was called is likely quite different from the actual totals.
I actually dropped mine off at the township clerks office just so I could get one of the new stickers.
Sadly, they were out of the werewolf.
Honest to God I think these stickers might be a significant driver for the increased turnout.
Totally. And the staff is also pretty reasonable about how it’s ultimately just a fun way to get food you might not have thought of.
I usually tell them I hate sour cream and they’ll let me know if I should get something else, which is technically against the “rules”, but it’s also just pizza that I’m paying for and not a national secret or anything.
They do ask you to let them know if you have any allergies, and they do tell you what everything is when they give it to you. You’re not at risk for eating something you can’t. You’d have to not tell them when they ask, and then ignore them when they told you the ingredients.
Never. There’s no space in their oath for fragging their commander in response to a legal order.
At the highest level, doing so is a military coup, and directly opposed to their oath.
Rounding up innocent Americans and putting them in camps isn’t unconstitutional if you pass a law saying you can do it. Just ask the Japanese citizens of the country of the military stood up for them, or if they just accepted their legal orders.
Relying on the military, the violent arm of the state, to protect us from the civilian arm of the state is at best not going to happen. More likely it’s so much worse if they do, because they typically don’t turn control over to someone better, if they do at all.
