Is this because you can use raw potato to pull salt out of a soup or sauce? Is human skin a sauce? Are toxins salt? What is going on?
Under-the-weather TikTokers are slicing raw potatoes and placing them in their — and their children’s — socks before bed. The theory is that the potato draws out toxins.
However, experts warn against relying on folk remedies over medical care.

No, putting a potato in your sock will not cure a cold

I don’t even have the energy to be exhausted at the state of national politics. I’ve spent the past week and a half clearing junk from a hoarder house and I’m not even halfway done. We filled an entire box truck today. Everything hurts.

I recognize this company because they’ve had more ads in my LinkedIn feed than anyone else.
Incredible stuff on LinkedIn. Cofounder of AI notetaker says they told early customers that there's an "AI that'll join a meeting.” But it was really just him and cofounder joining & manually taking notes. No AI. Comments flame him. He posts reply trying to kind of walk it back. Overall: Total bait.

I don’t think the economy is doing so well right now.
Deputies say a 911 call from a resident of a nearby apartment helped catch a man “actively stripping” copper wire from a light rail station, causing $30K in damage.

I’m not a baseball guy, but I do feel bad for all the fans whose sport is getting absolutely demolished by the gambling industry.
Following this weekend’s indictments of Emmanuel Clase and Luis Ortiz, MLB has announced that, in collaboration with major sports books, single pitch wagers are being capped at $200 and excluded from all parlays:

The sooner we get past internal recriminations and back to fighting united, the better off we all are — the likelier our victory next November.

Oh we’re acknowledging the concept of economic violence in the c-suite? Wild.
One CEO called the idea a “disgusting insult” and “economic genocide against the Gen Z generation.” 👀

Meaningless gesture. The caucus caved. Primary everyone.
I refuse to support a funding bill that fails to address the Republican health care crisis.
And make health insurance affordable.
The American people clearly understand the stakes and the urgency. We must too.
I'm voting no.

I am once again asking progressive Democrats to stop allowing this absolute snake who nonetheless possesses some political talent to pretend to be one of their foremost progressive leaders.
Senator Schumer is no longer effective and should be replaced. If you can’t lead the fight to stop healthcare premiums from skyrocketing for Americans, what will you fight for?

Money fire requires taxpayer subsidies to continue and scale its operations.
“OpenAI is getting ready to run hat in hand to the taxpayer for subsidies.” After losing more than $13 billion this year, OpenAI officials are angling for a bailout. From @ryanlcooper.com:

OpenAI Is Maneuvering for a Government Bailout - The American Prospect
For artificial intelligence to ever pencil out, some truly enormous revenue streams will be required. And if you need trillions of dollars for data centers forever, there’s only one entity to turn to: Uncle Sam.

Never underestimate how much boomers need a superficial return to normal.
SCOOP: Schumer was more involved than reported with the attempted cave on the government shutdown. The Gang of 8 Senate Dems had his approval & he was getting daily updates.
In Thursday's caucus meeting, the Gang claimed they had 10 votes to cave. The caucus went nuts, leading to the new proposal.

Well that should be illegal. You could probably get better rates from a leg breaking loan shark.
The Flex Loan, a new type of payday loan pioneered by Advance Financial in Tennessee, allows residents to borrow up to $4,000 at a 279.5% interest rate.
It has burdened low-income borrowers while generating huge profits for lenders.

i worry that the democrats will take this to mean they can continue doing mostly nothing and running the worst candidates imaginable.
I think a thing we'll learn tonight is that people fucking hate what is going on and they will straight ticket vote against anyone involved in starving people while pillaging the country and kidnapping their neighbors. I don't think it matters at all who that person is.
