I got halfway through it last night, up to the Lauren Southern section. All I'll say right now is that the abolish prisons people need to read this article and tell me what they think should happen to the Tate brothers. If you want to know what irredeemably evil looks like it's them

The diarrhea lettuce company, Taylor Farms, uses slave labor contracted from the Arizona Dept. of Corrections. The backbreaking labor is often performed by imprisoned Mexican nationals who would be otherwise ineligble to work in the US. They are paid $1.50 an hour.

The Diarrhea Lettuce Company Has Been Linked to Forced Labor

The lettuce-producing Taylor Farms was linked to the widespread use of prison labor before its involvement in a cyclospora outbreak.

Twin Cities friends, note that Earthbound Farms is a subsidiary of Taylor Farms, and their products are carried by the food co-ops.

This is what I have verified about Taylor Farms and this administration: 1. Bruce Taylor met with Trump on 07/16/26. 3. The FDA reversed its previous warning about Taylor Farms on 07/19/26. 4. Taylor Farms gave $1 million to Trump's PAC. I don't know when, but that's what got Taylor the meeting.

It's the Taylor Farms lettuce. The Taylor Farms outbreak. Earthbound Organics is Taylor Farms.

Taylor Farms also owns and runs Earthbound Organics, which is available in nearly every grocery store across the US

“The Guardian wins the ‘Caption of the Year’ competition: - William Merrin @theguardian.com

Heads up: Taylor Farms lettuce is sold under these brand names: Marketside (sold at Walmart) Earthbound Farm (owned by Taylor Farms) Cross Valley Farms (owned by US Foods) Private labels for Target, Whole Foods (365), and Amazon Fresh. AVOID ALL OF THEM

Revenge is a dish best served with Taylor Farms lettuce.

Prosecutors dropped their case against David Hearn on Friday, blaming Reflecting Pool damage on a "botched installation" rather than vandalism. That has implications for other people who were charged. n.pr/4fBw9Ln

Ripple effects: After Hearn, three others have their Reflecting Pool charges dropped

Private equity absolutely plays a role in this. First thing I do now when I buy something that I expected to have higher quality is look to see who owns the brand. Also: www.worseonpurpose.com

Private Equity destroys everything. I have to work with these guys almost every single day. However evil you think they are, they are worse. They do not have any humanity left in them. We should use them as fertilizer. And yes, I mean that from the bottom of my heart.

I agree generally with this but I think the nuance to add is that private equity stuff is systematically destroying even the brands that people used to be willing to pay extra for *because* they were known to be quality. Lands End, Doc Martens, etc

Max Dubler 🏳️‍🌈@maxdubler.com · 3d ago

I think my most genuinely unpopular take is that a widely held and genuine consumer preference for cheaper, lower-quality goods, not private equity, is driving the decline in quality of consumer goods like clothing and housewares.

I will now Google a brand name for durability and quality reviews even if I think I know their reputation, there are so few at this point that I trust to be even worth the cost of thrifting

What is your favorite English-language novel? (Free spaces for Middlemarch, Pride and Prejudice, and Moby Dick -- what else you got?)

My wife and I cried tears of relief after we got our first COVID shots. It was a scientific miracle and I’ll never forgive the people who’ve done everything they could to undermine it.

I like that the Dems are at least being honest that their social media bans are less about child welfare and education, and more about their misguided belief that the reason that positions like unconditional support for Israel or "tough on crime" Democrats, or centrist positions, is TikTok videos.🤡

Govs. Kevin Stitt and Wes Moore say civility can win general elections but primaries promote partisanship

Stitt and Moore said social media contributes to negativity and polarization in politics and urged more in-person connections.

nbcnews.com

The polarization isn't coming from social media. The polarization is coming from the fact that half of the politicians and 36% of the voters openly support ethnic cleansing policies, and 64% of the voters do not support ethnic cleansing. Normal people don't want to be civil with ethnic cleansers.

"Obama left a Pandemic Binder?" <shredding noises> [Cue: COVID-19] "Oh shit. Did we need that?" "Quick! Pretend it doesn't exist!" s3.documentcloud.org/documents/68...

9/11 caused xenophobia, military spending, the founding of DHS, and 2997 fatalities¹ Covid (so far) has killed > 1.2M americans², inspired work from home (and the subsequent RTO fight), and embarassed the (current) president. ¹: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casualt... ²: data.who.int/dashboards/c...

It’s a very bizarre timeline. The party that spent six years screaming “BUT FOUR AMERICANS DIED SOMEONE MUST PAY FOR THIS!!!” over Benghazi are now saying they don’t care 1.2 million Americans died of COVID. Fauci made them stay at home and watch netfilx, he must pay for that.

For awhile, we had a 9/11 every single day during Covid. And people were pissed they had to wear masks!

there were single days with a higher death count than 9/11 and they want to not only erase that but force everyone to agree any mitigation was bad and apologize to them

However horrible you think the Tate brothers are, I promise, it's worse than that. It's insane that Dems aren't making a bigger deal of the GOP embracing these grotesque monsters.

The Tate Brothers' Should Be The Trumps' Second Epstein Scandal

The truth is much worse than most people realize, and they knew a lot of it.

It continues to fuck me up that we stay thinking about 9/11 but want to memory hole Covid so bad we're destroying the entire concept of public health in the US.
