OPEN THREAD: Be brilliant and charming.

PERHAPS THEY CAN TRY MARKETING A “LIBERAL TEARS” FLAVOR: I found this amusing story somewhat underreported. It appears that:

“Ben & Jerry’s infamously woke CEO has been fired by the ice cream company’s fed-up parent company Unilever. David Stever was booted on March 3 after Unilever bosses grew tired of Ben & Jerry’s advocating for divisive progressive causes like Black Lives Matters, DEI, defunding the police and Palestinian rights.”

Here’s the best part… 

“Ben & Jerry’s remaining bosses have now filed a lawsuit accusing the parent company of firing Stever for his political activism.”

Hmm, so many similes from which to choose…”biting the hand that feeds you,” “pissing in the company water cooler,” “choosing the wrong hill upon which to die” or maybe even “circular firing squad?”

How about just autophagy?

A SMALL QUANTUM OF JUSTICE:

CHANGE: RFK Jr. Launches ‘Operation Stork Speed’ To Protect Baby Formula After Shortages Rocked Biden. “The FDA is initiating its first comprehensive update of infant formula nutrient standards since 1998. This review aims to ensure that formulas meet current nutritional requirements essential for infant development. In response to recent findings of heavy metals like arsenic and lead in some infant formulas, the FDA will increase testing for these and other contaminants to ensure product safety.”
