Kinda feel bad for the op tbh. That's what western education gets you. Basically gotta become a librarian to unpack the propaganda

Scrolled through a week of jbp tweets and didn't see this anywhere (should be fresh). Didn't see it in Elmo's post either. I'm calling shenanigans

As a im-vegan sometimes i see pictures of meat that look good and I feel conflicted. This is not one of those times 🤮

Kinda fucked up that the people of Oregon voted to decriminalize drug usage in the state, and 4 years later, the governor/legislature decides "no actually, you didn't vote for that" and scraps the law

Relevant parts:

Despite cereal being offered as a cost-saving way to eat, Lopez didn’t mention that leading cereal maker Kellogg’s has been singled out for price-gouging—raising its price per unit 17% in 2023, far above the inflation rate, thereby boosting the company’s profits in 2023 by a whopping 540% (Quartz, 2/27/24).

But “profits” is a word you won’t find in Lopez’s column. Corporate greed (FAIR.org, 4/21/22, 6/1/23; CounterSpin, 2/9/24) is conspicuously missing from his list of reasons that prices go up:

"Inflation is tied to rising labor costs, continued post-pandemic supply chain interruptions, avian flu and the impact of extreme weather—heat waves, wildfires and flooding—on global food production."

Rather than suggesting that consumers fill up on excess profits, Lopez could have encouraged his readers to participate in the upcoming three-month boycott of Kellogg’s products—organized under the hashtag #LetThemEatCereal

Because gunfire is loud, especially indoors where the sound bounces off walls and they're trying to yell communication to each other. I'd have a suppressor on every gun if I could
