I am going to bypass the nazi shit for a second 1. beef tallow fell out of usage in the 80s! b/c deep frying food is bad for you and worse for you in beef tallow 2. This is part of the war on "seed oil" which is part of the wellness right wing drift 3. the best fries are deep fried in duck fat

Crockett: When you're at war, you’re not worried about your outfit. If he was walking around in the fanciest suits, I'm sure that they would accuse him of taking our dollars and spending it on his wardrobe

At a time when America is on fire and Americans have become more isolated from each other, recognizing the good of an imperfect collective action that brings people together and illustrates the potential for bigger actions is a lot better than being a stick in the mud.

this EDM remix has been stuck in my head for the last few days, especially the line "I want to talk about it, but I'd be late for work"

something I’ve never stopped thinking about since I learned it: the proud boys do disaster relief as a recruiting tactic. they show up faster than the government and so people are like “these guys helped me when nobody else would”

American Medical Association is providing regular updates on bird flu and other infectious diseases on YouTube. I highly recommend subscribing to their page, especially since CDC has been axed by FOTUS #Voices4Victory m.youtube.com/user/AmerMed...

Very moving @nhpr.bsky.social interview with a Jan 6er from Keene, NH, who rejected Trump’s pardon and sounds like he has grown tremendously in 4 years. “One thing I did not believe in was change before this experience…And now I believe change is necessary for survival.” www.nhpr.org/nh-news/2025...

Seeing a lot of content about “airport rules for the next 4 years,” and I hate to throw cold water on this but if you make those 10 a.m. beers a habit, you are gonna develop a drinking problem 🫠

"Things might be tough but it's great for artists! They'll create more!" You might not believe me but going through a lifetime's worth of stress Every Single Week for years and years- is actually not the optimal set of circumstances that inspires artists to create

Those present at the inauguration were mostly (if not all) white, rich, and males wearing ties. Trump’s core supporters were left out in the cold. Think about it.

Weird that we have to say this, but the government doesn’t get to decide what gender a person is.

Hi. Are you doomscrolling? A lot of news happened today, and the wildfire in Los Angeles is significant in scope and damage. It's understandable if you're worried. But staring at your phone for hours won't make you feel better. You still deserve time to rest and recover. Try not to stay up too late.

I think the reason why the heart in a blender song still gets a lotta streams in 2024 is because everyone feels like their heart is in a blender

If the Depp-Heard fiasco didn't, the Blake Lively smear campaign should drive home an important media literacy lesson that I'm afraid many are missing: when it seems like everybody is suddenly talking about something, consider the possibility that the viral moment was engineered.

All these goobers posting airplanes and stars thinking they’re drones made me realize that if there was social media 500 years ago, a bunch of people would have been sharing pictures labeled “omg a mermaid” with community notes like “that’s a rock” and “manatee.”

Although the toxicity of poinsettias to cats tends to be a bit overblown online, I think it's still probably best to avoid giving your little ones access to them. Why risk a sick cat when you can guarantee a not-sick cat? www.petpoisonhelpline.com/poison/poins...
