I guess it spends where you lived. All the cool folks in the major metro areas were rocking smaller circular or oval frames.

That’s more of a late 70’s vibe.

Agree. Unless you find the people who did it, you'll never know what the motivations are.

That said, we have a lot of reporting that has shown smugglers have been looking for creative ways into gaza, and we have a lot of reporting that shows Israel's blockade has turned hospitals into a hellscape without proper painkillers.

They didn’t say that there were actually narcotics ground up. That claim was an unsubstantiated “possibility”

possibility that some of these narcotic substances were deliberately ground or dissolved in the flour itself

People are jumping to conclusions without evidence, and are ignoring the fact that this is one of the few paths in for smugglers, and there is a massive demand for painkillers.

That’s the most 45 looking 30 year old I’ve ever seen.

Occam's razor.

There is a tremendously strong need to get painkillers into Gaza. And smuggler’s drones have been getting shot down. Aid is one of the few channels in. I would expect that someone is going to try to leverage that.

There are also addicts that are trying to have stuff smuggled in. Prime example of this is something as simple as cigarettes. There are quite a few articles about Israel stopping and intercepting people smuggling in cigarettes.

But poisoning or getting random people hooked on opioids? It was loose pills, and a more expensive opiate. If this was a scheme to poison or hook people, it’s a complex and dumb one. If you know anything about opiates, you know there are far better and cheaper to hook or kill people if that’s your goal.

If your mom’s dying from cancer or if Netanyahu blew off your brother’s leg, and the hospital can’t get you medical grade opioid painkillers, are you just going to do nothing? Or are you going to try to work with a smuggler to help them out?

Israel has created a meat grinder and isn’t letting medicine in to hospitals. Desperate people are trying to do whatever they can.

I imagine that other news outlets don’t agree with the allegations of this being to poison people in Gaza. If someone was trying to poison the food, uncrushed oxy pills in flour is a pretty dumb and expensive way to do it.

People are sick and dying and are desperate for painkillers.

Also, smugglers have been trying to find ways around the blockades.

Medical supply / drug smuggling happens in every war. Addicts, and people who are dying and suffering from mangled limbs, want drugs.

Stumping happening

“The last person to read this didn’t wash their hands.”

Well, on the bright side, this is going to get lot more people out into the streets, and protests are already bigger than they’ve ever been.

I’m holding hope that the MAGA destruction hits so hard that the pendulum is forced to aggressively swing back in the other direction.

1000+ loads out of those balls.

Hey now. The world really is rolling us.

You can’t simultaneously be unamerican and have a fire club remix on SoundCloud where you’re rapping about your grandma. That’s the most American thing ever.

So John Oliver wasn’t his only RV suitor?

Did he quit?

Zohran should drop a diss track on Spotify that targets the corrupt maga grifters. That shit would go viral AF.

Mike Johnson wants a king.
