Not a muscular girlie myself, but I am still sooo over this ridiculous protein obsession. Thanks for shoveling out the horseshit Marina Bolotnikova

Meanwhile in Europe: the Impossible Burger is still 100% illegal. Thank you, anti-GMO people, for protecting us from sustainable, humane and delicious plant-based burgers. 🙃

Excellent article on the state of play for efforts to make US biomedical research more human-relevant and humane—one hand promising to lift up this effort, while the other takes a sledgehammer to the foundations of the whole project. Including a cite to yours truly!

I love it when people say that caring about anyone other than your immediate family is a luxury belief and then immediately whip around to saying we should all be heavily invested in the longterm career viability of cattle ranching.

Huge market for telling guys it’s good for them to never eat a single vegetable.

we’ve had our new kitten for a week & OG cat couldn’t be happier. it’s like she’s been waiting all her life for a friend.

Many ppl get the wrong idea about my politics but I’m just a somewhat boring abundance liberal with radical characteristics

I think someone stole my new baby, but I’m not mad.

💡 #AnimalMethodsBias is in the news again in Rachel Fobar's important piece on federal efforts to reduce animal experimentation. This systemic bias favors animal-based studies over translatable, human-based methods—and it's long overdue for scrutiny. 🔗 vox.com/future-perfect…

to people who don’t have cats: the wildest thing about it is they don’t do anything they don’t want to do. it’s almost impossible to get a cat to do something they don’t want to do. & the only schedule or routine they keep is about food. they are ungovernable. it’s inspiring.

"We need to ban this thing to prevent other people from hypothetically, sometime in the far future, making it mandatory" is not a compelling argument.

Letter of recommendation: go flip phone if you want to be a better friend!!!! Wrote about my month of Barbie Phone for Vox: vox.com/future-perfect…

Just completed a captcha where the images were clearly AI generated. AI is generating images to check if IM human. What are we even doing at this point

the malice/stupidity attribution question is always a tough one when it comes to this admin, but I think Stephen Miller for one is trying quite hard to cause a constitutional crisis because he hates our country

This happens all the time. This is especially horrific but chicks and ducklings die and get lost thru USPS all the time. I hear about it weekly this time of year. The egg industry is cruel and just destroys these babies.

Factory farmed meat is now "natural meat" And the aspirations of a few tiny cultured meat startups is now a "project" that will lead to a "legislation phase" banning meat And this is the "smart" case for banning cultivated meat?

I hate soviet gerontocracy comparisons because american gerontocracy is so much more powerful....Brezhnev dead at 75. Andropov at 69, Chernenko at 73. pathetic. little babies all of them

Lab-grown meat bans are quite evil imo. Common sense dictates that the mass torture of pigs is wrong. But no amount of moralizing will convince most people to give up bacon. Decoupling animals' flesh from their sentience is our only hope for justice.

People really need to re-learn the concepts of honor, dignity, and self-respect.

you don't have to run on egg whites and chicken breast to be a swole hottie 😎 (this is now freed from the hard paywall!) vox.com/future-perfect…
