"protein powder has lead" explains A LOT
paris martineau@parismartineau

my latest investigation for @ConsumerReports is based on months of reporting and 60+ lab tests of leading protein supplements we found that most protein powders and shakes have more lead in one serving than our experts say is safe to have in a day — some by more than 10 times !

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1990: 75-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio today: 280-to-1 Trickle-down economics was always a sham. Nothing has ever trickled down.

Yesterday the President of the United States of America went on national TV and blamed Democrats for an assassination in which no suspect has been identified or arrested and no motive is known. Given there is no ID, arrest or motive, how could the President possibly say that???

@alandanziger Hyundai > Tesla. And a dictatorship is a pretty big problem so I’m finding it hard to be bothered by the loss of a few chargers

Honestly this is why we have the block function on our phones. I’d block the dad, the wife, and the grandmother. She’s 19… if family helps family are they helping her with her college tuition? Her bills? Supporting her in anyway? My guess is no… they just want to exploit her for free childcare. Block them all!

When I went to leave I told them, firmly but politely, that if they genuinely can’t do this small thing to protect the most vulnerable patients they should reconsider working in healthcare I’ve never seen someone sneer like that. I thought flames would shoot out of their ears /7

Had my first healthcare worker refuse to mask My chart says I’m immune compromised & require staff to mask. The facility had a policy that if asked, staff will wear I was told “no I need to breathe to do my job”. I stood firm & said I’m high risk and masks are required 🧵

@AppleSupport I had some Apple devices stolen, and the thieves are trying to phish my account credentials. They’ve emailed and iMessages and FaceTimed. Is there some way you can use the info to track them down?

@LyndsayEly Hypothesis: the ‘get more conservative’ happened because people saw it as a zero sum game, them vs. their peers. We don’t fall for that because we see where all the gains are going, and it ain’t to our peers….

A friend once said I’d get more conservative as I got older and had more money NOPE went from at least somewhat centrist to full on progressive. 🤷‍♀️

Maybe they should have fact checked everything both candidates said, instead of only pointing out some of trump’s lies? KH: true KH: mostly true DT: false DT: false

@brianpbatch @PopCrave A successful legal career, followed by marriage to a highly successful politician… I heard her speak at an Apple developer conference; I’m sure it was a paid appearance; it was great for the attendees to hear personal anecdotes. I’m sure she’s invested well. Mock if you want. 🤷🏼‍♂️

@proofofwork1 @PopCrave Do you understand what "inherited wealth" is? In case you don't... It's wealth you inherit. From your parents/grandparents. Neither she nor Barack had it. (Though they did seem to have the love and emotional support of their parents/grandparents.)

@brianpbatch @PopCrave They worked for it. All Trump has done is fail (except for that one time in 2016 where others pushed him over the line). You're ok with Trump seemingly a billionaire, but them having money is bad?
