Killed herself is a little different from “died”.
But what they are burying here is B-12 deficiency is not limited to vegans. Anyone can have it.
“Gray said Owen “reported to her family that she had bought an organic B12 supplement from Canada” and would take a daily dosage of 1mg.”
Yeah, not enough. My doc has me taking 2,500mcg or 2.5mg.

Hadn’t heard the Mexico angle, last I saw Iran was slated to play in Seattle, but maybe that’s a day trip thing and they are staying in Mexico.
I’m expecting the protest angle in Seattle to be very strong for the Iranian game. June 26th.
Bonus: They are demanding Pride flags be removed.
You aint kidding! They released 1,085 movies!
To put that in perspective: Two separate companies, Arrow and Shout Factory, are doing big collections. Arrow has done 4, Shout has done 8, re-releasing 147 movies with absolutely no overlap between the two series(!)
147 / 1085 = 13.55% of all Shaw Brothers films.
If 12 sets got us 147 films, it will take around 90 sets to do all 1,085 movies.
Yeah, I think re-directing any posts over there is going to be the move unless something actually newsworthy happens.
Worst Shaw Brothers movie ever!

Opinions are fine, just not in the headline.
If it broke a rule, it’s not correct. 😉
I’m being generous giving them time to fix it, not all mods do that.
The correct way to post it in this group would be:

Nothing to do with the content, we don’t allow editorializing in headlines, full stop. The content is immaterial.
I get it, and I get where it’s coming from.
Fortunately the vast majority of Lemmy users are smart enough to recognize passive voice and weasel words when they see them and call them out in the comments.
Replacing the original headline, either editorializing or editing, is a form of sanitization and makes it less obvious when news orgs are doing this.
I’ve had times going down the front page where “Oh, no, that CAN’T be a real headline…” then, surprise! It was!
Thayer Amendment - 1866:
https://www.britannica.com/topic/Can-a-Living-Person-Appear-on-US-Currency
“The Thayer Amendment: This 1866 law prohibited the use of the image of any living person on “the bonds, securities, notes, or postal currency of the United States.” It was an outgrowth of a silly act of vanity committed by Treasury Department official Spencer Clark, who decided to put himself on banknotes intended to honor explorer William Clark, of Lewis and Clark fame. The congressional bill authorizing the creation of the note only specified that it should honor “Clark,” and so Spencer Clark decided to memorialize himself.”
I didn’t know the history on that, that’s hilarious that it was passed as a “fuck you, in particular!” for one guy!
Wild how you can’t recognize how sensible it is. This isn’t the only community with that requirement.
Count your downvotes and get back to me…
“News” wouldn’t give the context that the original headline does.
I like Thom Hartmann, but there’s a difference between a court for one tiny town saying corporations can vote in municipal elections in that one town and “ZOMG! Corporations can vote in Delaware!”
Some significant problems:
You have to be 18 to vote, if “corporations are people”, wouldn’t that eliminate any corporation founded in the last 17 years?
How would “a corporation” register to vote in the first place?
How would “a corporation” cast a vote?
If it falls to the CEO to register and vote for the company, how is that not double voting?
If the CEO is not a resident of that town, how is that a legal vote?
Too many flaws in this story that Hartmann fails to address…
