Mr. Stem

@SamaHoole A lack of awareness of all the evils of the world doesn’t invalidate the reduction of some.

Chloe woke up at 6:45am and immediately felt proud of herself. She had, after all, not eaten a single animal product in four years. The planet was healing. She could feel it. 6:52am - Applied her morning SPF. The SPF contains beeswax. Chloe does not know this. Moving on. 7:10am - Breakfast: a smoothie containing avocado. The avocado was grown in Michoacán, Mexico, on land where a pine forest was until 2019. It required approximately 320 litres of water to produce. It was flown to the UK. Chloe sprinkled hemp seeds on top. The hemp seeds came from China. Chloe felt connected to the earth. 8:00am - Got dressed. Polyester leggings, derived from crude oil. A bamboo top that was processed using carbon disulphide in a Taiwanese chemical plant. Trainers with a recycled plastic upper that sheds microplastics into waterways with every wash. Chloe's outfit today had a higher carbon footprint than a ribeye steak. Chloe does not know this either. 9:30am - Posted on Instagram about choosing compassion. The phone was manufactured in a Shenzhen factory using cobalt from the DRC, where mining operations have displaced local communities and killed an unknowable number of small mammals, reptiles, and insects. The algorithm served Chloe an ad for oat milk. Chloe liked it. 12:00pm - Lunch: tofu stir-fry. The soy was grown in Brazil. Brazil produces more soy than almost any country on earth. The primary reason is soybean oil: one of the most widely used industrial and culinary oils on the planet. The soymeal left over after oil extraction is fed to livestock as a byproduct. Chloe is aware of the livestock connection and finds it outrageous. She has not looked into why the soy was grown in the first place. The answer is the oil. The oil is in her salad dressing. 1:30pm - Drove to the garden centre. The car runs on petrol. Chloe has a Just Stop Oil sticker on the bumper. This is not being commented on further. 3:00pm - Bought a monstera. The monstera was grown in a Dutch greenhouse using natural gas heating. Chloe put it next to the pothos that is slowly poisoning the neighbourhood cats. 6:00pm - Dinner: pasta with cashew cream sauce. The cashews were processed in Vietnam, often by workers in conditions that would prompt significant commentary if they were in an abattoir. 8:00pm - Watched a documentary about factory farming. Wept. Posted about it. Caption: "We have to do better." Chloe is, by every measure she has chosen to measure by, doing brilliantly. By some of the others, the picture is more complicated. Chloe has not chosen to measure by those.

@StevenIHaglund He beats a lot of guys to the corner

Every run of 10+ yards from new #Chargers RB Keaton Mitchell last season

@CoachRolfes I mean I go to church in nature, but point taken

The American dream isn’t more money. It’s a Sunday like this: 1. Bible study and hot coffee 2. Family breakfast 3. Take your family to church 4. Family lunch together 5. Play in the yard all day 6. Grill out and eat on the patio 7. Walk to park 8. Bedtime stories and prayer 9. Hang out with wife and plan week And, not stressing about money once. That’s wealth.

@priceacarter All oline still available

This feels like doomsday for the #Chiefs at pick #9... What are you doing if this is the board when the Chiefs get on the clock?

@FixinYourUglies @concretemassage One could argue that online vitriol has greatly aided the rise of trump. So you have a hand in this too

@concretemassage Nah, you can. It’s sad, but unfortunately, in a system like ours, you only have two choices. If you didn’t vote against Pedo Hitler, you elected him.

Not to be a fucking bitch, but I do wonder how the “we can’t vote for Kamala because we support Gaza” crowd feels, knowing they helped elect Trump and helped ensure Israel killed more people around the world than originally expected.

@TAftermath2020 @HipHmschoolMoms Is Iran the country you’re hoping to save?

MAGA is like the Chicago Bulls of the 90s. Everyone that was not a fan hated us, but they kept blowing teams out. They kept gaining more fans because people love winners. So get on the bandwagon because we got a fucking country to save

@9mmsmg Anybody else see the irony in this post?

I will vote for anyone who has a legitimate plan to successfully imprison social media influencers. I don't even care about their other politics at this point. I'll be a single issue voter.

@LoganPaul @LeVeonBell @BreidenFehoko Didn’t you say you would kill Mike Tyson in the ring too lmao

Welp. The bosses called Turns out I’m too valuable of a WWE Superstar to be fighting bums I want to take this opportunity to congratulate @LeVeonBell and @BreidenFehoko for their 15 minutes of relevancy. Now back to being broke and retired I’m going back to RAW every Monday on Netflix @WWE

i want to see something cool from your camera roll. not filtered faces. not recycled memes. i want your world. what you stop for. what you notice. just pictures you’ve actually taken… what you think is worth capturing. show me.

@ChargersMuse Did he save him from a ball too?

#Chargers Jim Harbaugh and Mike McDaniel are courtside for the Lakers game

@MavPilgrim @MrPitbull07 I quit preparing work ahead of time. I’d go to all the trouble and 90% of the time it comes back undone.

For everyone posting that they shouldn’t have taken them out of school for vacation, are you all missing the part where they asked for assignments ahead of time? My guess, no teachers had their classes ACTUALLY planned. Could take assignments early because the teacher had no idea what they would be teaching. Teachers work for the parents to educate their children. Just like politicians, public school teachers shouldn’t pretend to be an authority. They are Public Servants and need to act as such. Come at me.

“This is why public school is a JOKE. And honestly… I’m concerned for the next generation of kids. A couple weeks ago, we pulled our kids out of school to take them on vacation. They’re in 3rd grade, 2nd grade, and kindergarten. We let the teachers know ahead of time. Asked for assignments so they wouldn’t fall behind. Their response? “Don’t worry about it… we’ll catch them up when they get back.” No big deal, right? Except the day we leave… the school district starts hounding us. Threatening to report us to the county if the kids miss any more days. Our kids rarely miss school. Are we seriously not allowed to take them anywhere?? Fast forward: we get back, and my son comes home with a mountain of worksheets. No explanation. No instruction. Just, “Here. Figure it out.” So he spends hours working through it over the next week. And I’m looking at this stuff thinking… what the hell is this?? Keep in mind, I’m college-educated and run multiple successful businesses. And I can’t even make sense of it. Questions like: “Sam has 155 clams. Richard gives him 137 peaches. If the cows moo while facing north, how many snow cones does he have?” What are they even learning in there? Then — a week later — his teacher messages us: “He got almost all the answers wrong. He’s now failing English.” So we reach out. Ask if he can redo the assignments. Not just for a better grade… but so he can actually learn the material. Her response? “No. He can’t redo it.” We try to work with her. Offer to compromise. Her answer? “Maybe you shouldn’t go on vacation.” I’m done, dude. Our kids are in ELEMENTARY school. And this is already the circus we’re dealing with. I don’t want to homeschool. I never thought I’d even consider it. But the way this system is run? It’s starting to look like the better option. So here’s my honest question: What are we supposed to do? Because if this is the best public education can offer… No wonder kids are falling behind.” ~Mike Wingard

@SamaHoole Everybody knows humans have been ordering corn fed steaks at restaurants for millions of years

Eating out on carnivore: Me: "Steak please, no sides." Waiter: "The steak comes with chips and salad." Me: "Just the steak." Waiter: "You don't want the sides?" Me: "Correct." Waiter: "It's the same price." Me: "That's fine." Waiter: "So... just meat?" Me: "Just meat." Waiter: visible confusion, writes order like I've requested something impossible Five minutes later, different waiter: "Who ordered just the steak with nothing?" Every. Single. Time. The concept of eating only meat breaks people's brains despite it being how humans ate for 2.5 million years.

@DC_Draino @GovTimWalz Bro wouldn’t know a fact if it smacked him in the face

@GovTimWalz You keep calling ICE agents “gestapo” and “fascists” and then act surprised when your people try shooting them or running them over. And you’re doing it to distract from the rampant Somalian daycare fraud schemes that your government assisted. All this blood is on your hands.

I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening. The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.

@DannyRebel333 Sounds like the radical left is tougher than u

The radical left eats 300 mg of cannabis edibles before fighting federal agents and Portland citizens. I'm an experienced cannabis user and I eat 20 mg for pain relief

@YaboiFeva @AlbertBreer Aren’t y’all crying about Patullo and blaming all the offenses struggles on him?

@AlbertBreer No way anyone could succeed with any of those guys, huh?

Chargers QB Justin Herbert’s OCs … • Shane Steichen, 2020. • Joe Lombardi, 2021-22. • Kellen Moore, 2023. • Greg Roman, 2024-25.

@TLassosGrandad @chrishayre Think fthey could get more than a 4th?

@chrishayre I’m shopping QJ if I’m them. His trade value will probably never be higher. QJ runs lazy routes. It was obviously in that playoff game. That comeback route was embarrassing. It’s Tre time.

This will be a critical hire for Jim Harbaugh and Justin Herbert. Independent of the offensive line, Ladd McConkey should be leading this team in targets by a wide margin. A nucleus of Ladd/Tre’ Harris/Hampton/Gadsden plus QJ’s skill set is an exciting starting point for OC candidates.

@Daklan17 @danielrpopper I believe he technically could still come back, but the recovery time was supposed to exceed the season.

@danielrpopper Question about Alt, I know he had season ending surgery, but did they put him on season ending IR?

#Chargers are opening the activation window for Omarion Hampton, per Jim Harbaugh.

@AAnon55 Most welfare recipients do work, they just don’t make enough on minimum wage. We need to be equally mad about the corporate subsidies as the individuals.

Dude my mind is blown when I hear how much the welfare people have been getting paid. I work full time & they make more than I do. $2500 in cash assistance & $4000 in food stamps. That's not even counting other benefits. Someone on welfare shouldn't make more than people clocking 40 hours a week. Especially because the person working full time & making less is paying taxes that go to welfare programs.

@brandilwells I can’t tell if this is just engagement farming, but have you been to the desert?

Fresh water is not scarce. We never needed to drink recycled waste water. The earth constantly regenerates fresh water deep within its crust. This is called Primary Water, and there is a never ending supply of it. Niagra Falls is caused by gushing Primary Water. 💦

@gregersonke @LindseyGrahamSC @DOGE It failed to hit the pentagon too

@LindseyGrahamSC Because you failed to sick @DOGE after healthcare optimization. Even though its one of the largest line items for American families and taxpayers to the tune of 4.9 trillion.

If the Affordable Care Act is so “affordable”… why is it that every time I turn around it needs to be bailed out?
