It always will as long as Andrews isn't asking for anything too outrageous, but every time we will get commentary like this.

Some of his strips were published on RT. The working relationship there is not clear.

RT scrubbed their Rall content, I think when Sputnik rebranded. Sputnik wipes material seemingly at random, but you can still see Rall archives on their facebook page, e.g.




He also appeared in RT programming and had an archive of columns. Nowadays he also sells columns to places like Rasmussen.

For a time it was a useful propaganda mapping tool because you could find other foreign outlets running Rall on RT's schedule.

(there was another left-jamming cartoonist who worked for RT, but I can't recall the name and he dropped out of visibility way faster, despite being much more artistically competent)

Just out of curiosity, but could you take, say, apples or carrots and blend them to feed a baby instead of buying baby food? Honest question.

There are definitely ways you can prepare safe and healthy pureed food for your baby, and it's not super complex, but "whatever you're eating is fine" is a million percent wrong and even ignoring nutritional needs (which you should never do for a baby!) there's a ton of stuff that's way more bad for babies even than it is for adults.

When last I checked, baby food is subject to much more extensive regulatory scrutiny and tighter purity limits than other foods. I've not had the chance to dig into the house committee report, which appears to be validly sourced, but also, simultaneously, uses all the rhetorical tricks of fearmongering.

lol, second tweet on his account is quoting sputnik news. Again, it's not necessarily that Russia's stopped paying these people; they just don't advertise it anymore. If you find their garbage appealing, then, well, yes, that's the point. It's propaganda, and unlike the vast majority of the poo poo that's posted in this thread, you're the intended target.

I believe you could do carrots without any problem, as long as you used water or breastmilk/formula (babies have trouble digesting diary). You wouldn't want to add any sugar or salts to the mixture either. For early infants you want a thin puree that is easy for them to gum on.

The big things IIRC to avoid are honey (it can cause infant botulism) and nuts (for potential allergies).
