That question has driven us to think about how we can make our expertise more accessible and, most importantly, actionable.
Our latest newsletter, Detox Your Kitchen, is the result of those discussions.
The seven-week course will teach you easy steps to avoid potentially harmful chemicals.
You've probably seen terms like PFAS and microplastics in a lot of news stories recently, often in the context of frightening studies showing just how prevalent they are in everyday items.
One of the most frequent questions I see in our comment section is: "What can I actually do to avoid them?"
I've collected accounts from trans folks inside US prisons facing Trump's brutal crackdown: trans women rounded up + placed in solitary before transfer to men's prisons; canceled medical appointments + loss of vital healthcare; vicious taunting
"You're going to be a man," one guard told trans women
Trump has suggested dismantling Fema, a move that would cut off aid that has largely helped support Republican-leaning states like Louisiana and Florida that voted for him in last year’s US presidential election.
Good stuff, Teddy! Made me reevaluate my daily dose of elderberry
This is my periodic rant that Apple Intelligence is so bad that today it got every fact wrong its AI a summary of @washingtonpost.com news alerts.
It's wildly irresponsible that Apple doesn't turn off summaries for news apps until it gets a bit better at this AI thing.

The jobs are highly coveted - some of the most meaningful activities available in CA prison, but they risk their lives for $5-10 a day. Several have died in recent yrs + many struggle to get jobs after prison.

Here’s why some billionaires are going soft on Trump
A screenshot of a Reddit a comment that says: I tuned out. Unfollowed every news outlet, every reporter, canceled my subscriptions ect When he won in 16 I wanted to know everything I wanted to be informed I wanted to make sure I knew why I hated him and why this was horrible. It made me depressed, it made me drink a lot and I didn’t even realize it but I was so upset about the state of the country that I didn’t wanna live it in soberly most of the time. I refuse to live that way again. I’m gonna vote like always, I’m gonna look up policies when it’s election time. But I’m not arguing with anyone, I’m not gonna let these fuckers get me mad, I’m angry not sad this time but I’m being mindful that anger doesn’t have to be my constant driving force like depression was back then. I just know that for the next four years the only thing I care about it my life and my wellbeing and hopefully we make it to another election where something changes

Trump carried out more federal executions than the past 10 presidents combined. 40 ppl on death row are now in danger, many asking Biden for clemency.

Hi everyone.
The Onion, with the help of the Sandy Hook families, has purchased InfoWars.
We are planning on making it a very funny, very stupid website.
We have retained the services of some Onion and Clickhole Hall of Famers to pull this off.
I can't wait to show you what we have cooked up.
“This is something we have been considering for a while given the often disturbing content promoted or found on the platform, including far-right conspiracy theories and racism.”
