On a semi-related note, I’d recommend a food journal to anyone who suffers from migraines or mysterious headaches with an unknown cause. Triggers can be different person to person and lots of people do not respond to aspartame at all but common foods and food additives can be triggers. For example, my mom reacts to the nitrites in preserved meat products but I can chow down on a Slim Jim with no problem. I think a food having adverse reactions for you does not necessarily mean it is bad for everyone BUT it is weird aspartame is in everything for no particular reason.

“The police spend very little of their time dealing with violent criminals—indeed, police sociologists report that only about 10% of the average police officer’s time is devoted to criminal matters of any kind. Most of the remaining 90% is spent dealing with infractions of various administrative codes and regulations: all those rules about how and where one can eat, drink, smoke, sell, sit, walk, and drive. If two people punch each other, or even draw a knife on each other, police are unlikely to get involved. Drive down the street in a car without license plates, on the other hand, and the authorities will show up instantly, threatening all sorts of dire consequences if you don’t do exactly what they tell you. The police, then, are essentially just bureaucrats with weapons. Their main role in society is to bring the threat of physical force—even, death—into situations where it would never have been otherwise invoked, such as the enforcement of civic ordinances about the sale of untaxed cigarettes.”

since i think many will have had the memory slip with just how many other atrocities have occured in the past 11 years, or are simply too young to remember, the last bit about the sale of untaxed cigarettes isn’t just some hypothetical, it’s a reference to the killing of eric garner

Let's not beat around the bush: Children's author JK Rowling sexually harassed someone. In some jurisdictions, this would count as sexual abuse. JK Rowling has committed a sex crime against a woman and fell back on the old rape apologist standby of "she was asking for it".

So I do 3D modeling and printing as a hobby, and a few weeks ago I designed wheel guards meant to prevent office chairs from running over cables and clothes... or your pet's tail.

me: "have they tried not being fucking ignorant religious bigots?"

The thing that pisses me off the most though is the fact I know so many LGBTQ+ individuals that still go there, and they are surprised when I actually don't. It's literally like that tweet.

Apparently, Taylor Farms was discovered to be the source of the contamination due to meticulous record keeping by Taco Bell's internal distribution system.

Unfortunately it’s not the only source, they don’t supply all the areas affected, my state included. From the CDC website:
