If AIPAC's commitment to arming a rogue state isn't enough for you, I cannot emphasize enough that this organization is just a slush fund for GOP donors to influence Dem races. Their donor base is mostly conservatives who want Republicans to win.

Is it just me or has the search function on loads of websites collapsed as well as in the major search engines? Trying to find things on ebay and just getting no results for very broad terms, but also getting loads of "Could you have meant this?" type results

"Midgley later took a leave of absence from work after being diagnosed with lead poisoning"
"On October 30, 1924, Midgley participated in a press conference to demonstrate the apparent safety of TEL, in which he poured TEL over his hands, placed a bottle of the chemical under his nose, and inhaled its vapor for sixty seconds, declaring that he could do this every day"
"However, within the first two months of its operation, the new plant was plagued by more cases of lead poisoning, hallucinations, insanity, and five deaths." By 1925 leaded gasoline was already literally killing the people who made it, including the guy who invented it
Fun fact: the guy who invented leaded gasoline was Thomas Midgely Junior, in 1921. He *also* invented CFC's By 1923 he had symptoms of lead poisoning, by 1924 several factory employees has already died of lead poisoning. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_....

The victims of the pervert glasses will overwhelmingly be women, and the perverts using them against those women will overwhelmingly be men, so ads for it have to get ahead of that reality to have any hope that their victims might be easier prey.
One of the few pre-roll ads that were on the flight on my fly home was an ad for Meta glasses that was very sparse on specific details, but of the many faces of people wearing them it cycled through, easily 90% were women, and the only voiceover was from a woman as well, which I find very telling.
