Probably not a coincidence that Georgia has two Democratic senators and state politicians who weren't able to find "11000 more votes". x.com/gregorybrothers/status… That said Hyundai/LG should likely be getting more e-2 visas for these workers

I, GAVIN C. NEWSOM (THE MOST SUCCESSFUL GOVERNOR IN AMERICAN HISTORY), HEREBY DEMAND THAT CANADA GIFT ME “A BIG BEAUTIFUL PLANE” I GET TO KEEP AFTER I LEAVE OFFICE (IF I LEAVE). IF THEIR NEW PRIME MINISTER (VERY NICE GUY, BUT NOT AS HANDSOME AS TRUDEAU) DOES NOT SEND ME A PLANE, CALIFORNIA WILL IMPOSE “THE BIGGEST TARIFFS” HE HAS EVER SEEN, AS IS MY GOD-GIVEN RIGHT. MANY PEOPLE ARE SAYING, “GOVERNOR GAVIN C. NEWSOM DESERVES THE BEST PLANE, EVEN BETTER THAN AIR FORCE ONE.” I AGREE. SEND THE BIG PLANE, PRIME MINISTER CARNEY! I DESERVE IT. THANK YOU! — GCN

President Trump's family has reportedly made $3.4 billion during his first and second terms. The president is clearly using his public office for private gain. This is NOT normal. msnbc.com/opinion/msnbc-opin…

Theo Von: In that Big Beautiful Bill it says for a full 10 years, no state may enforce any law or regulation that regulates AI Rep. @RoKhanna: If a state wants to pass a law saying you gotta have a truck driver on a truck, you can't do that. If your state wants to pass a law saying you can't have an algorithm that gets young girls addicted to content that makes them more likely to have eating disorders, can't do that

the worst part of AI hype is it poured more gasoline on python

Hey @figma? Go fuck yourself.

This *legal* immigrant is almost certainly going to be murdered once she's deported back to Russia She is anti-Putin & a scientist who escaped persecution in Russia & got granted to work for Harvard University on a work visa. The Trump administration doesn't give one fuck

In school they taught us that one of the uniquely good things about the American government is the separation of powers. When one branch of government tries to take over, the others push back. Now we find out if it actually works. Come on, judicial branch!

Advice for Food Companies Since we launched PlasticList, we’ve been heartened to have quite a few food companies reach out and ask for help interpreting their results and tracking down and eliminating their contamination. I’ve had calls with a bunch of these. I am happy to report that no food company wants this stuff in their food and they are all eager to figure out what’s going on and how to remove it. After a while I noticed the advice we were giving was pretty similar for every company, so I thought it would be useful to write it down and share publicly. So, here are some notes: 1. To track down the source of your contamination, don’t just test a few samples of your product with varied production processes. Instead, test every single one of your inputs: every ingredient and input in the form you receive it before any processing steps, including water and any other consumables. 2. Then, test the food before and after every step in your production process. If you boil something in tap water, test before and after boiling. If you chop something on a plastic cutting board (because wood cutting boards are outlawed in commercial kitchens, apparently), test before and after chopping. 3. You may have to go deep into your supply chain to figure out the source of your contamination. One food company founder we spoke to said that some of the fruit they include in their product is picked, put into plastic bags, and then steamed in the bags before the bags are cut open and the fruit is transferred into another plastic bag, while still warm, for shipping. Whoops. 4. Run at least three samples of every test due to sample-to-sample variation. You can see in our report and in our data that sample-to-sample and lot-to-lot variation should be expected: plasticlist.org/report 5. You should also test any intermediate or final packaging that your product ships in, as leaching can also occur post-production. 6. There are a lot of steps that you need to carefully follow to prevent contaminating your samples during collection and transportation. It’s really easy to miss one of these and mess up your data. We describe many of these on our methodology page: plasticlist.org/methodology 7. You should consider running longitudinal tests, maybe quarterly, as we have heard that there can be seasonal variation in contamination from suppliers, due to things like summer heat, suppliers switching their processes, and suppliers switching their own backend suppliers for their inputs. 8. And most importantly: PICK A GOOD LAB. Unfortunately not all labs are good, and we think many ISO-certified commercial labs will not give reliable results. We rejected many certified labs because we weren’t confident in their work; all-in-all, we spent about 10 weeks finding a lab that we trust for our tests. You can see our lab’s internal methodology here: docs.google.com/document/d/1… Our lab has recently permitted us to identify them publicly, and they are IEH: iehinc.com/ We also worked with Light Labs to produce this study and they can be a big help: lightlabs.com And Million Marker is able to work with food companies to debug their supply chains as well: millionmarker.com/ 9. You should consider hiring an analytical chemist as a consultant to validate that the testing methodology is accurate and to double-check the lab’s results. We hired John Brock to do this and it was well worth it; we would not have been confident in our choice of lab or our results without John. 10. We couldn’t find a lot of evidence that the phthalate substitutes are bad; if you have high-percentile detections in phthalates or bisphenols, though, it’s probably worth figuring out how those chemicals are getting into your products.

Exciting PlasticList update: We were honored to work with @bobaguys to identify and eliminate the sources of BPA contamination, and their teas are now BPA-free! They have fully transitioned to BPA-free receipt paper, which PlasticList confirmed to be BPA-free through independent lab testing. They have also switched to brown sugar in BPA-free packaging. We have been impressed with their commitment to get to the bottom of the issue and move fast to remove BPA from their supply chain. If you want healthy and delicious tea, I highly recommend Boba Guys!

My American friends say they don’t see it on their news. We didn’t have this kind of censorship even when Russia started the war. Stay strong and don’t lose your freedom, guys.

Just got off the phone with my friend, @NormOrnstein, who explained to me the difference between transgender and transgenic. You see, Trump got a big laugh from the Republicans last night when he said the federal government "spent $8 million to make mice transgender." No, they didn't. They were actually transgenic mice (injected with DNA from another species). That said, I don't think transgenic mice should be allowed to swim competitively against regular mice. Imagine if they were injected with fish DNA!

So glad free speech is back

A lot of American media doesn't seem to be adequately covering what's really happening in the US. So I will. A story in pictures.

Trump today announced a plan for the United States government to buy exactly the five cryptocurrencies that his crypto advisor, David Sachs, holds. naked corruption

While it seems like the US government buying crypto is the beg. it could just as well be the end. The pump requires bigger and bigger idiots. The US government is the final, biggest idiot. There is no bigger wealthier idiot than the US government. Top.

Incredible amount of leverage insider buys on $BTC prior to the crypto reserve news. Highly criminal.

America will never be great again so long as you can create worthless crypto tokens, then pay off government officials to declare them valuable and use taxpayer money to buy them.

Imagine admitting out loud that it breaks your brain to even consider that someone might value something besides their own immediate financial benefit at the expense of others

We’re all going to pay more in taxes to fund Sack’s exit from his crypto positions.
