@adskayapanda Awww thank you. This film wouldn’t have been made without the support from the fandom — from those who were able to donate to our production, to those who just shared excitement for the project. Thank you all so much truly. The festival run is almost done… more news soon!
If you’re voting today in LA a good rule of thumb is to not reelect a mayor who told you the air from the weeklong burning flesh warehouse was safe to breathe.
Quiero que sepáis que todo esto empezó porque cuando un grupo de chavales protestó por tener ratas y goteras en su instituto, la policía respondió reventándole la boca a uno, mutilandole la mano a otro y ahogando a otro.
La represión ha sido brutal y ha encontrado respuesta.
Most people in France can't afford housing.
They didn't blame immigrants, or transgender people, or video games, or avocado toast.
They blame the government. Because that's who's responsible. That's always who's responsible.
Grindr is training its AI on your photos, your age, and your taps by default, without asking. I looked into the company’s record with user data, and where they put the off switch.
This guy is the CEO of Flock
He takes pictures of you and hands them over to the cops
But, he doesn’t want you to know what he looks like
PLEASE do NOT share his photo!
The amount of people I've seen on here say "too little too late" is concerning. If we can't allow these people to learn and grow, then what is your activism even for?
Macklemore is speaking out after being dropped from Ed Sheeran's Loop Tour, seemingly placing blame on New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft, saying that the billionaire rallied other stadium owners to ban him from performing at their venues:
“Ed is my friend. I've known him for 13 years.... I told Ed multiple times on the phone, our friendship can't change my responsibility to tell the truth about what happened [in Gaza]... Ed told me that Robert Kraft called him. We were scheduled to play Gillette Stadium later this month, which is owned by the Kraft Group. Ed told me that Kraft said I would not be allowed to perform in his stadium. Ed also told me that Kraft had rallied some of the other stadium owners and collectively they gave him an ultimatum: if Macklemore stays on the tour, you will not be allowed to play in our venues....
Ed was in a fucked up position. He knew it. His typical apolitical stance was being challenged in a way it never had been before. He told me that the words 'Free Palestine' and the image of the Palestinian flag were hurtful to a lot of people he spoke with. I told him that if those words were more offensive than tens of thousands of Palestinian children being killed by Israel, then there was a fundamental disconnect between where those people stood and where I stood. But he couldn't get past his public facing, 'I don't take sides'....
I hope this isn't the end of my relationship with Ed. Thirteen years of friendship doesn't disappear because of one painful disagreement. I hope we both continue listening, studying what is happening in Palestine and wrestling with what neutrality means in a moment like this. My door will always be open to continuing that conversation....
I didn't need 10 shows from Ed. I needed 2. Two chances to stand in front of 90,000 people and say the words that somehow became too dangerous to say. Free Palestine. But if those words cost me the stage, while turning the conversation back to Palestine, then it was the most successful tour I've ever been on.”

Trader Joe's won't say who makes their products and the suppliers sign agreements not to say either. The way reporters figured it out was recalls. When a plant recalls something the FDA notice lists every brand that came off that line, so Eater matched the notices to Trader Joe's lot numbers.
Stacy's makes the pita chips, Naked makes the green juice, Tribe makes the hummus. Tate's, Stauffer's and Wonderful Pistachios all showed up too. The recipes are usually tweaked a little so it's not the exact same product, but Stacy's and Naked are both owned by PepsiCo.
The soy sauce packet in your takeout bag isn't soy sauce. The biggest maker, Kari-Out in New Jersey, lists water, salt, hydrolyzed soy and corn protein, caramel color and sodium benzoate. No fermentation, no brewing. It's made in a couple of days by boiling defatted soy meal in hydrochloric acid, neutralizing it, then adding color and corn syrup so it looks and tastes close enough.
A lot of the bottles on the grocery shelf are the same thing. Kikkoman and the Japanese government went to the UN food standards body years ago and asked that the chemical version not be allowed to use the name soy sauce. The hydrolyzed protein industry and the USDA pushed back and it stayed. The brewed ones say naturally brewed on the label. If the bottle doesn't say it, it isn't.
