PSA for any reporting about “the bleach community:” What they are promoting/using is a bleaching agent but is not “bleach” that we know. Laundry bleach is ~5% sodium hypochlorite & can bleach clothes & break down skin. ‘Miracle mineral solution’ is 25-30% or more sodium hypochlorite. It is poison.

TRUMP: Los Angeles would be burning today, just like their houses were burning months ago. Generations of Army heroes did not shed their blood on distant shores only to watch our country be destroyed by invasion ... as commander in chief, I will not let that happen FORT BRAGG TROOPS: Hurrrraa!

Removing pepperball residue from clothing and other items. This is based on my (unfortunately extensive) personal experience and experimentiation. Pepperballs contain powdered PAVA, an oily, synthetic capsaicin analog. The only reliable way to remove it is with a good surfactant soap and water. 1/

man I got into a Lyft like a week after this happened in the summer of 2020 and the driver told me all about it. I suspect every service worker in Portland was talking about it. (Media couldn't corroborate until much later.) They pissed off an entire city's service industry with no real consequences

The gray male, Wyoming's oldest wolf ever documented, lived a mysterious existence amid human development, perched in the mountainsides overlooking Teton Valley, Idaho. "Super savvy wolves," a biologist said. "Most people don’t know they’re there."

I think if people could move the locus of how they define patriotism from the American state to the American people and their honorable history of opposing tyranny, from the workers to women to immigrants to Black Americans, they’d find a useful, uniting, galvanizing feeling there

I recently asked an agency contracting officer how she learned about IT. She said she wanted to learn the basics so she enrolled in a “low-level” programming class, not realizing that’s hard core. She was months into learning assembly before she discovered her mistake, so she rolled with it. Wow.

47 years ago today the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints reintegrated its priesthood and temples and restored the Church to its universal roots. Today we remember some of those who slipped past the walls of exclusion to receive priesthood ordination or temple rituals before June 1978. 1/12

Wrote this in the summer of 2020, definitely a good sign to be dusting it off now. "Less lethal" weapons are tools of colonial occupation marketed to police, and tools of police marketed to colonial soldiers. Anti-civilian weapons more than "less-lethal" www.scientificamerican.com/article/what...
