  • When beekeepers take out honey to sell, or, increasingly, when there isn’t enough pollen available, they give the insects supplementary food.

    But that food is made up of protein flour, sugar and water, and has always lacked the nutrients bees require. It is like humans eating a diet without carbohydrates, amino acids, or other vital nutrients.

    This is such dystopia stuff. We’ve solved the fact that we were killing the bees by stealing their honey and replacing it with sugar water(while trucking them from the south to their California Central valley almond crop monocultures and hoping they’ll survive on that sugar water) with this “super food” that actually contains proteins required for life. I understand I’m not supposed to be a downer on uplifting news but this so very much does not uplift me.









  • Behold the sparkle of champagne.
    The crime rate’s gone, feel free again.
    Oh, life’s a breeze with you, Miss Lily White.
    Taylor Swifts on the screen today.
    Convinced the liberals it’s okay.
    So let’s get dressed to dance away the night.

    While they kill, kill, kill, kill, kill the poor.
    Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill the poor.
    Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill the poor tonight.
    Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill the poor.
    Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill the poor.
    Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill the poor tonight.







  • Activated carbon does absorb lead because it has a variety of binding sites that will bind to lead ions. The problem is, those binding sites are limited and will get quickly used up if you’re having to actually deal with any significant amount of lead and if you have other metal ions (like copper) trying to compete for binding sites the whole profile looks worse. This means if you’ve got hard water with a ton of competing ions, the filter will likely do dick for lead. So the Brita filters do do something, but if there’s an actual utility to what they do in regards to heavy metals depends on the water.
