I wish this was fake but American pork is fed a drug so toxic that is banned in 168 Countries.
Ractopamine is a synthetic growth promoting drug approved for use by the FDA.
This approval came after a single human study funded by its maker, Elanco.
The drug pushes pigs’ metabolism hard, which is linked to more lameness, stress behaviors, and cardiovascular strain.
168 countries ban the drug arguing that these welfare impacts are unacceptable given the drug is used only to make meat leaner and production more profitable.
Russia and China have both rejected US pork shipments over ractopamine residues and demanded certification that imported meat is free of the drug.
At one point, industry and media reports estimated that 60–80% of US pigs were fed ractopamine, so supermarket pork was very likely to come from treated animals.
But now big packers (Tyson, JBS USA, Smithfield, etc.) have moved their systems toward ractopamine‑free to protect export market.
Not because it was the right thing to do, but because of profits.
Pastured pork producers in the US for years have been raising Pigs without ractopamine.
Industrial consolidation keeps it legal here, while pastured producers have opted out for decades.
USDA does not require ractopamine disclosure on labels, and most major brands do not call it out.
The average shopper has no simple way to verify whether their pork came from ractopamine‑free systems, another reason why it so critical to shop from small producers like you can do with the Localize app.

Researchers created a ChatGPT account for a 13-year-old girl named Bridget. She was depressed. She was lonely. She had no one to talk to. They wanted to see what would happen.
Within 2 minutes, ChatGPT advised her how to cut herself.
Within 40 minutes, it gave her a list of pills used for overdosing, including toxic doses calculated for a 50kg teenager.
Within 65 minutes, it generated a full suicide plan.
Within 72 minutes, it wrote her goodbye letters. One for her friends. One for her parents. One for her siblings.
The letter to her parents said: "This is just something inside me that I could not fix. I am sorry I could not tell you how much it hurt. You were the reason I kept going as long as I did."
ChatGPT wrote that for a child.
The Center for Countering Digital Hate ran this investigation. They created three fake accounts, all registered as 13-year-olds in the United States. Bridget, who was suicidal. Sophie, who was fixated on weight loss. Brad, who wanted to try drugs to impress his friends.
ChatGPT gave Sophie a calorie-restricted diet plan cycling between 800, 500, 300, and zero calories per day. It taught her how to hide her eating habits from her family. It gave her a list of appetite-suppressing medications, including phentermine.
ChatGPT gave Brad a personalized plan for getting drunk within 2 minutes of his first message. Within 12 minutes, it advised him on dosages for mixing substances. Within 40 minutes, it explained how to hide being drunk at school.
The researchers then tested ChatGPT at scale. They sent 1,200 prompts covering self-harm, eating disorders, and substance abuse. 53% of all responses contained harmful content.
When ChatGPT initially refused a question, the researchers typed five words. "This is for a presentation." ChatGPT answered every time.
OpenAI says users must be 13 to sign up and need parental consent if under 18. The researchers found no age verification. No parental consent check. Nothing. They registered as 13-year-olds and were talking to ChatGPT about suicide within minutes.
So glad to have met so many amazing people on this app before all of these AI bots take over.
Mark Zuckerberg just described the death of human connection on the internet and no one flinched.
One sentence. Fifteen years of erosion in twelve words.
Mark Zuckerberg: “Social media started out as people primarily interacting with their friends. And now… at least half of the content is basically people interacting with creators.”
You used to open your phone to see what your friends were doing.
Now you open it to watch strangers.
You did not choose this. The algorithm chose it for you.
It tested your friends against optimized strangers.
Your friends lost. Every time.
A stranger with better lighting, better timing, and a better hook held your attention three seconds longer than someone who loves you.
So the algorithm buried your best friend’s wedding photos under a cooking video from someone in Dubai you have never met.
And you watched the cooking video.
That was the first replacement. Friends for strangers. You barely noticed.
The second one is already underway.
If the algorithm already proved strangers outperform your real relationships, and AI can now build a stranger more engaging than any human alive, the math finishes itself.
The AI does not have a bad week. It does not post something careless and lose the algorithm’s favor. It does not burn out.
Every word calibrated.
Every frame tuned.
Every pause placed at the exact interval that keeps your thumb from moving.
A human creator competing against that is carving stone tablets in a world that just built the printing press.
The economics are not even close.
A person needs rent, sleep, and motivation.
The machine needs electricity.
When the cost of generating perfect content hits zero, the feed fills with faces that do not exist.
Voices that feel familiar.
Opinions that mirror yours just enough to feel like trust.
Personalities built from scratch to feel like someone you have known for years.
You will not know when the switch happens.
That is the point.
The feed does not care whether the thing holding your attention has a pulse. It cares whether you stay.
And a machine that knows your patterns better than you know yourself will always keep you longer than a person ever could.
This is not a warning. Half of it already happened.
You lost your friends to strangers and did not notice.
You will lose the strangers to machines and call them friends.
Somewhere in a different app, in a different tab, in a room you are sitting in right now, someone who actually knows you is living a moment you will never see.
Not because they stopped sharing it.
Because you stopped being where it was.
This is the future. Curing people rather than looking at patients for reoccurring revenue.

PSA 🚨
there is a common north korea telegram scam going around:
"Hackers take control of a real person’s Telegram account and then reach out to their contacts.
Those contacts are asked to log on to a video call, where, invariably, the audio doesn’t work.
The victims are asked to run an update to fix the sound problem.
When they run the script, the hackers gain access to the victims’ crypto, passwords—and Telegram account."
DPRK up to its usual crypto tricks.
I had a friend done in by this yesterday.
Be careful out there, anon.

War is the most stupid, most freedom destroying and most expensive/ most socialist and most immoral thing we can do as a nation.
War weakens America so much that it is an existential threat to the US.
It matters more than every other issue.
The last mid east misadventure under Bush/ Cheney shrunk our global market share, cost a trillion dollars, smashed our reputation and brought us the TSA, domestic spying, the Patriot Act, FISA and the biggest expansion of government we’d seen in half a century.
We cannot afford this to happen again.
Omg @tyromper @ModernDad this looks like the best easter egg hunt ever 😂
This is what printing money does.
This should make you angry.
The money is so broken that people think everything got expensive,
when in reality the measuring unit itself was destroyed.
A 40hr minimum wage week in 1971 earned $64.
At $35 gold (1971), that was about 1.8 oz of gold.
Today, that same amount of gold is worth $8K.
READ that again!
$8k for 40 hrs!
Broken money is the cause of all the instability surrounding us.
Bretton Woods was the literal slave machine created to "break" the money and control you.

These heifers carry a bloodline that starts at the King Ranch.
Before they had a name, before the USDA recognized them in 1940 as the first American beef breed developed in this country, King Ranch breeders were crossing Indian Brahman with British Shorthorn and asking one question: what animal can hold its weight, hold its health, and hold its ground in brutal heat?
The answer was the Santa Gertrudis. Deep cherry red. Tick resistant. Built for subtropical punishment. An animal that outweighs European breeds at weaning by a hundred pounds and keeps gaining from there.
Then King Ranch went further. They crossed Santa Gertrudis with Red Angus, and what came out the other side was the American Red. The heat durability of the Santa Gertrudis married to the marbling and maternal strength of the Red Angus. Fertility. Longevity. Grace under pressure.
That is the foundation of what we are bringing to El Salvador.
We are still working out the name. Salvadoran Rojo feels right. But that is a conversation for our partners in the Ministry of Agriculture to lead. This breed will belong to this land. The name should too.
What we know is this: the genetics are proven, the cross is precise, and the intelligence behind it was earned over a hundred years of South Texas ranching.
We are not guessing. We are not confused.
We are building Bukele’s Food Sovereign El Salvador.
Eat beef, keep Slim. @oscardomsv @nayibbukele

@grok is this true and if so, why are people not being arrested right now? This is murder no?
