What roll does Cameron Boozer play in an offense?

[Ladytron Fan Account @Lady_FanAccount]

"Hurt" is not an original by Johnny Cash. The song was written by Trent Reznor (Nine Inch Nails) in 1994 for the album The Downward Spiral. Rick Rubin had to insist several times on Cash recording his version, at first Johnny found the idea completely insane because the original version is industrial and noisy. At 71, already very ill, almost blind and with trembling hands, Cash completely transformed the band.

The iconic video, directed by Mark Romanek, was filmed at the House of Cash (his own museum). June Carter Cash appears looking at him fondly, the video was shot in February 2003, a few months before she died (May) and Johnny himself (September).

Trent Reznor was so moved that he declared, "This song is not mine anymore." It is considered one of the best covers of all time.

I want a truck with no GPS or tracking.

I want a house that doesn't spy on me.

I want a government that builds roads and maintains the military and stays out of my business.

I want the constitution of the United States respected and upheld.

I want the government to be the last thing I ever think about, just like the founders intended.

An amendment to the FISA bill to kill the kill switch was just introduced!

This is huge!

The most fucked up thing about American food is that you have to be a paranoid lunatic just to feed yourself something that won't kill you in 30 years.

You're paying $400 a month at Whole Foods to avoid $200,000 in medical bills the food industry will hand you at 60.

The default snack is a chemical no European country lets in. The default cooking oil was invented in 1911 in a soap factory by Procter and Gamble. The default protein bar is sugar wrapped in marketing. The default "healthy" yogurt has more sugar than ice cream. The default breakfast cereal was invented by a guy who wanted to make people less horny.

That's not a joke btw. John Harvey Kellogg literally believed corn flakes would reduce masturbation. The cereal aisle is downstream of his crusade.

You have to FIGHT to find real bread.

FIGHT to find a chicken that wasn't raised in a steroid bath.

FIGHT to find olive oil that hasn't been cut with canola in a warehouse in Spain.

FIGHT to find a restaurant that doesn't cook everything in soybean oil.

FIGHT to read every label like it's evidence at a murder trial.

Your great-grandfather ate what was on his farm and he lived to 89. You eat 87 ingredients you can't pronounce per meal and you'll be on a statin at 52.

Somehow this is "progress."

The American food industry is a $1.5 trillion machine and the medical industry is a $4.5 trillion machine. Different shareholders, same business model: make you sick, then sell you the management.

Doritos in your kid's lunchbox.

Lipitor in his lunchbox 30 years later.

Same parent companies sometimes. PepsiCo owns Quaker. Quaker pushed oatmeal as "heart healthy" while loading it with sugar. Mondelez owns Cadbury, Oreo, Ritz, Triscuit, Wheat Thins. Kraft Heinz owns Kraft Mac and Cheese, Velveeta, Capri Sun, Lunchables. The 7 companies that make 87% of what's on a typical American grocery shelf all have pharma stock holdings 2 to 3 layers deep.

The grocery walkthrough that actually keeps you alive:

> Outer aisles only. Produce, meat, dairy, eggs. Inner aisles are 90% chemistry experiments.
> Meat: pasture-raised, grass-fed, no antibiotics. Costco has decent options. Local farmers are better. Skip "natural" labels (means nothing).
> Eggs: pasture-raised, NOT cage-free (means nothing), NOT free-range (means almost nothing). Vital Farms is the easiest find.
> Butter: Kerrygold or any grass-fed brand. The yellow color is beta-carotene from grass. Pale butter = grain fed.
> Olive oil: California Olive Ranch, Kirkland's California, or single-estate Italian. Most "Italian" olive oil at Costco is Spanish-Tunisian blends cut with sunflower oil. Litigation pending.
> Bread: sourdough from a local bakery or Ezekiel-style sprouted. Avoid anything with "vegetable oil" or "soybean oil" in the ingredients.

What to delete from the cart entirely:

> Anything in a bag that didn't exist in 1950 (chips, crackers, cereal in a box, pre-mixed dressings)
> Vegetable oil, canola, soybean, corn, sunflower, safflower
> Anything with HFCS, "natural flavors," carrageenan, soy lecithin, BHT, BHA
> Sweetened yogurt (buy plain, sweeten with honey or fruit)
> Pre-packaged "healthy" snacks (granola bars, RX bars, protein cookies)

The 4-step kitchen audit that actually works:

> Cook 6 nights a week. No restaurants on weeknights. The exposure compounds when families eat out 4 times a week.
> Buy meat from one farmer for the year. Costs the same per pound, eat better cuts.
> Eggs and rice are superfoods. Stop chasing trendy ones. The basics still print.
> Skip protein bars. A boiled egg + an apple beats every $4 bar on the shelf and costs $0.80.

The system is engineered to keep you a customer.

No matter where you stand politically, I think we can all come together and agree that putting spyware in our cars that watches what we do and can decide whether we’re even allowed to drive is a direct violation of our 4th amendment right and absolute tyranny.

This. Is. Terrifying.

This technology should NEVER be allowed to be used.

Ford can fvck right off and so can the Congress members who voted to put this tech in vehicles starting in 2027.

[Peter Girnus 🦅 @gothburz]

I am a senior coordinating producer for the White House Correspondents' Association Dinner. I have worked eleven of these. I was backstage at the Washington Hilton when the shots were fired.

The first thing I heard was not the gunfire. It was glass.

A champagne flute hit the floor of the International Ballroom at approximately 9:47 PM. Then a second. Then the sound that I have since been told was a 12-gauge shotgun, which from inside the ballroom sounded like a heavy door slamming in a parking garage. Then the Secret Service moved. They moved the President, the Vice President, the First Lady through the east corridor in under ninety seconds, which is protocol, which is practiced, which is the one part of the evening that worked exactly as it was designed.

Everything else was improvised.

I know this because I ordered the wine. 94 tables. Two bottles per table. 188 bottles of a Willamette Valley pinot noir that the Association selected in February after a tasting committee spent three meetings debating between Oregon and Burgundy. Oregon won. The budget was $14,200. I signed the invoice. I can tell you the vintage. I can tell you the distributor. I can tell you the per-bottle cost because I negotiated it down from $89 to $76.

What I cannot tell you is how 147 of those bottles left the building during an active shooter evacuation.

I can tell you what I saw. A correspondent from a network I will not name picked up two bottles on her way to the east exit. Full bottles. One in each hand. She was wearing heels and she did not spill. A man in a tuxedo tucked one inside his jacket the way you'd shoplift a paperback at an airport bookstore. A woman picked up a bottle, looked at the label, put it back, and took a different one.

She checked the vintage. During an evacuation. That's editorial judgment under pressure.

The theme of the dinner was "A Free Press for a Free People." The banners were still hanging when the evacuation began. I know because I hung them. Twenty-three banners, navy blue, gold serif lettering, $11,400 for the set. They were still hanging when 2,600 guests were directed to the exits by Secret Service agents, one of whom had just taken a shotgun round in his ballistic vest and walked to the ambulance on his own feet.

The agent's vest costs approximately $800. The wine that left the building was worth $11,172 at Association cost. At restaurant markup, roughly $29,000. The guests saved more in wine than the vest that saved the agent.

That's priority.

The video went viral by 10:15 PM. Not the video of the evacuation. Not the Secret Service response. The wine. Three guests in formalwear grabbing bottles off white tablecloths while being told to move toward the exits, while a man with a shotgun stood in the same motor entrance where John Hinckley shot Ronald Reagan 45 years ago.

A woman near the service entrance was crying. She said "I just wanna go home." She was not holding wine. She was holding her phone. She was the only person I saw that night who looked afraid rather than inconvenienced.

That's the distinction. The rest of the ballroom did not look afraid. They looked interrupted. An active shooter at the WHCD is a logistical problem. The dinner was disrupted. The timeline was off. The after-party at the French Ambassador's residence would need to be rescheduled. These are contingency matters. Contingency matters have solutions. Fear is for people who attend events without security details.

I have produced eleven of these dinners. I have managed seating charts that require diplomatic-grade negotiations. I have handled comedians, cabinet secretaries, network anchors, and the editor of a major newspaper who once threatened to leave because his table was behind a column.

I have never, in eleven years, seen a guest leave a $76 bottle on the table during an evacuation. I have also never seen a guest check the label first. Both observations are consistent. The bottle is worth taking. The evacuation is worth surviving. The instinct is to do both simultaneously.

188 bottles placed. 41 recovered. 147 unaccounted for. One agent shot. Zero guests injured. Zero bottles broken.

A free press for a free people. The press is free. The wine was $76 a bottle. They took it anyway.

📚 This woman was a freshman at Columbine on April 20, 1999. After the shooting that day, police confiscated all the students’ belongings and returned them a couple of months later.

She never opened her backpack… until now (she only threw away an old Lunchables).

She’s treating it like a real time capsule — pulling out her old Avon lotion, Blow Pop, Yum Yum lip gloss, compact mirror, handwritten notes from friends, decorated binder, and German worksheet. Everything is exactly how she left it 27 years ago.

It’s so wild seeing these little pieces of everyday 90s school life frozen in time.

This story really warmed my heart. Who else thinks it’s great to see that day doesn’t seem to have affected her negatively at all? It looks like she has a beautiful family in that photo behind her and she seems so happy and at peace.

REPORTER: “Do you worry about racism if you ran for president?”

STEPHEN A. SMITH: “No.”

“I do not believe it is as prevalent as some on the left would like us to believe.”

“I do believe a vast majority of Americans judge you on the CONTENT of your individual character rather than the COLOR of your skin.”

CBS never aired this part of the interview on TV.

You had to go all the way to the “extended interview,” available only online, to hear it.
