Yes, they did really buy Info Wars. Here's a serious site talking about it:

Biden only supported legalized medical marijuana, and to his credit, he did actually start the process to do that. He order rescheduling to schedule 3 which basically legalizes medical marijuana. It should go into effect around December as the DEA has dragged out the process

 

Alaska has been moving more and more democratic over the past decade or so but has been largely under most people's radar

Democrats won Alaska's at large house seat in 2022. There was also recently a major flip in the Fairbanks Alaska borough earlier this week a democrat won the mayor race despite it voting R+15 in 2020. Though Alaska does split their vote more than other states

Polling is rather limited in Alaska which makes it harder to tell exactly how things are going on for the presidental race. Some put Harris within striking distance. It's possible for it to end up flipping this cycle or in the near future

Reminder to always keep up the fight. Even when things seem inevitable, fights can be won. That goes both ways: don't get complacent and don't get despaired

Get active, and get involved

However it's often used in the context of already existing systematic issues. The bunch has already spoiled

Quite a range of things. It's so many It's hard to list them all. Some of these are more global than others:

Eyestalk ablation is the removal of one (unilateral) or both (bilateral) eyestalks from a crustacean. It is routinely practiced on female shrimps (or female prawns) in almost every marine shrimp maturation or reproduction facility in the world, both research and commercial.

Chick culling or unwanted chick killing is the process of separating and killing unwanted (male and unhealthy female) chicks for which the intensive animal farming industry has no use. It occurs in all industrialised egg production, whether free range, organic, or battery cage.

A gestation crate, also known as a sow stall, is a metal enclosure in which a farmed sow used for breeding may be kept during pregnancy.[1][2][3] A standard crate measures 6.6 ft x 2.0 ft (2 m x 60 cm).[4][5]

[...]

There were 5.36 million breeding sows in the United States as of 2016, out of a total of 50.1 million pigs.[8] Most pregnant sows in the US are kept in gestation crates.

Ventilation shutdown (VSD) is a means to kill livestock by suffocation and heat stroke in which airways to the building in which the livestock are kept are cut off. It is used for mass killing — usually to prevent the spread of diseases such as avian influenza. Animal rights organizations have called the practice unethical.

From global estimates

It’s estimated that three-quarters – 74% – of land livestock are factory-farmed

[...]

Combine land animals and fish, and the final estimate comes to 94% of livestock living on factory farms.

In the mean time, there's plenty of plant-based meats along with plant-based dishes and the like. If we only wait for cultured meat, harm will continue to be done

Was thinking more about cameras from journalists or other organizations

Their ads usually don't show them inside even when they live there

Bringing up a Tyson competitor, the farm manager wonders how other poultry companies handle supposedly free-range-raised chickens. The short answer: They don’t, really.

“Those birds don’t go outside — you know that,” the technician replies. “They don’t all go out … Look that up online.”

The manager chimes in: “It’s not like they make it like all of ’em come out and enjoy the sun.”

“That is strictly for commercial [advertising] purposes,” the technician says. “They pick the prettiest birds [for commercials] and they toss ’em out in the grass.”

Bird flu (specifically H5N1) has notably been spreading quite quickly in cows rights now. It's been crossing between species much more than it has in the past

1 in 5 samples of pasteurized milk had bird flu virus fragments
