take on tech, journalism, SEO, and what we're all doing here anyway. "Best gas masks" is no lazy attempt to rehash the bit: Sarah Jeong has turned it into a smart explanation of what might drive a regular person to buy a gas mask, what it feels like to be tear gassed (I can confirm: it sucks!), and how we've gotten to the point that you might want this advice. And, yes, she recommends a few good gas masks. </p></div></td></tr></table><table class="divider_block block-2" width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" role="presentation" style="mso-table-lspace:0;mso-table-rspace:0"><tr><td class="pad" style="padding-bottom:20px;padding-left:10px;padding-right:10px;padding-top:20px"><div class="alignment" align="center"><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" role="presentation" width="100%" style="mso-table-lspace:0;mso-table-rspace:0"><tr><td class="divider_inner" style="font-size:1px;line-height:1px;border-top:1px solid #e9e9e9"><span style="word-break: break-word;"> </span></td></tr></table></div></td></tr></table></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table><table class="row row-4" align="center" width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" role="presentation" style="mso-table-lspace:0;mso-table-rspace:0"><tbody><tr><td><table class="row-content stack" align="center" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" role="presentation" style="mso-table-lspace:0;mso-table-rspace:0;color:#000;border-radius:0;width:500px;margin:0 auto" width="500"><tbody><tr><td class="column column-1" width="100%" style="mso-table-lspace:0;mso-table-rspace:0;font-weight:400;text-align:left;vertical-align:top"><table class="heading_block block-1" width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" role="presentation" style="mso-table-lspace:0;mso-table-rspace:0"><tr><td class="pad" style="padding-left:10px;padding-right:10px;padding-top:10px;text-align:center;width:100%"><h1 style="margin:0;color:#000;direction:ltr;font-family:'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:26px;font-weight:700;letter-spacing:normal;line-height:1.2;text-align:left;margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;mso-line-height-alt:31px"><span class="tinyMce-placeholder" style="word-break: break-word;

The feeling is excruciating, like your lungs are trying to kill you from the inside out. The sting in your eyes is painful, too. But oddly, after you’ve been tear gassed enough times, you mostly just resent the inconvenience of having to stand around and involuntarily gasp and sob.<br><br> I thought about this five years later, as I watched Trump Attorney General Pam Bondi appear on Fox News after Customs and Border Protection agents killed Alex Pretti in Minneapolis. “How did these people go out and get gas masks?” she asked, incredulously.<br><br> As a longtime gas mask user, I can sympathize. There isn’t a lot of reliable information out there about how to buy a gas mask, especially for the specific purpose of living under state repression. But hopefully after reading this guide you’ll feel equipped to make an educated decision.</p></div></td></tr></table><table class="button_block block-5" width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="10" cellspacing="0" role="presentation" style="mso-table-lspace:0;mso-table-rspace:0"><tr><td class="pad"><div class="alignment" align="center"><a href="https://link.theverge.com/click/43832717.12175/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cudGhldmVyZ2UuY29tL3BvbGljeS84Njg1NzEvYmVzdC1nYXMtbWFza3M_dWVpZD1iYzYyMDcyYzc5YWM3YmU5OTA0MjBlMzMzNWQwYzk1MiZieGlkPTY5Mjc4MzBkNTJmOTcxMzcyMzA2YzE4ZQ/6927830d52f971372306c18eE5a7d558b" target="_blank" style="color:#ffffff;text-decoration:none;"> <span class="button" style="background-color: #5200ff;

Nick Shirley, a roving 23-year-old with a smartphone and a taste for outrage, made a YouTube video with unfounded allegations of fraud at daycares operated by the local Somali American community. Like so much partisan media in history, he was trying to rile up the right-wing base. But he was also playing to another audience: the algorithm.<br><br> When I wrote about Shirley in early January, I described him as an influencer — a catch-all term that could be applied to a wide range of people, anyone from Joe Rogan to a 20-something woman sharing Shein hauls on TikTok. But Shirley and his ilk are not just content creators with a right-wing twist — they’re algo hounds. And he was not just making plain old propaganda; he was making internet slop.</p></div></td></tr></table><table class="button_block block-5" width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="10" cellspacing="0" role="presentation" style="mso-table-lspace:0;mso-table-rspace:0"><tr><td class="pad"><div class="alignment" align="center"><a href="https://link.theverge.com/click/43832717.12175/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cudGhldmVyZ2UuY29tL25ld3MvODY5ODI0L3JpZ2h0LXdpbmctaW5mbHVlbmNlcnMtbmljay1zaGlybGV5LXNsb3BhZ2FuZGE_dWVpZD1iYzYyMDcyYzc5YWM3YmU5OTA0MjBlMzMzNWQwYzk1MiZieGlkPTY5Mjc4MzBkNTJmOTcxMzcyMzA2YzE4ZQ/6927830d52f971372306c18eE0678d94f" target="_blank" style="color:#ffffff;text-decoration:none;"> <span class="button" style="background-color: #5200ff; mso-shading: transparent; border-bottom: 0px solid transparent; border-left: 0px solid transparent; border-radius: 4px; border-right: 0px solid transparent; border-top: 0px solid transparent; color: #ffffff; display: inline-block; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-weight: 400; mso-border-alt: none; padding-bottom: 5px; padding-top: 5px; padding-left: 20px; padding-right: 20px; text-align: center; width: auto; word-break: keep-all; letter-spacing: normal;"><span style="word-break: break-word; line-height: 30px;"><strong>Read more</strong></span></span> </a></div></td></tr></table><table class="divider_block block-6" width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" role="presentation" style="mso-table-lspace:0;mso-table-rspace:0"><tr><td class="pad" style="padding-bottom:20px;padding-left:10px;padding-right:10px;padding-top:20px"><div class="alignment" align="center"><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" role="presentation" width="100%" style="mso-table-lspace:0;mso-table-rspace:0"><tr><td class="divider_inner" style="font-size:1px;line-height:1px;border-top:1px solid #e9e9e9"><span style="word-break: break-word;"> </span></td></tr></table></div></td></tr></table></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table><table class="row row-7" align="center" width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" role="presentation" style="mso-table-lspace:0;mso-table-rspace:0;background-size:auto"><tbody><tr><td><table class="row-content stack" align="center" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" role="presentation" style="mso-table-lspace:0;mso-table-rspace:0;background-size:auto;color:#000;border-radius:0;width:500px;margin:0 auto" width="500"><tbody><tr><td class="column column-1" width="100%" style="mso-table-lspace:0;mso-table-rspace:0;font-weight:400;text-align:left;padding-top:5px;vertical-align:top"><table class="heading_block block-1" width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" role="presentation" style="mso-table-lspace:0;mso-table-rspace:0"><tr><td class="pad" style="padding-bottom:10px;padding-left:10px;padding-right:10px;text-align:center;width:100%"><h1 style="margin:0;color:#000;direction:ltr;font-family:'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:26px;font-weight:700;letter-spacing:normal;line-height:1.2;text-align:left;margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;mso-line-height-alt:31px"> <span class="tinyMce-placeholder" style="word-break: break-word;"><span style="word-break: break-word; color: #5200ff;">/</span> Comments section</span></h1></td></tr></table><table class="html_block block-2" width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" role="presentation" style="mso-table-lspace:0;mso-table-rspace:0"><tr><td class="pad"><div style="font-family:'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;text-align:center" align="center"><div class="quote" style="background:#f8f5ff;padding:15px 20px 0px;margin: 0 10px 0;color:#353535;font-size:16px;line-height:1.5;text-align:left;font-weight:700;"> verge_user_m4d5k2n7<span>:</span> </div></div></td></tr></table> <table class="html_block block-3" width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" role="presentation" style="mso-table-lspace:0;mso-table-rspace:0"><tr><td class="pad"><div style="font-family:'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;text-align:center" align="center"><div class="quote" style="background: #f8f5ff;color:#000000;padding:0px 20px 15px;margin: 0 10px;font-size:17px;line-height:1.5;text-align:left;"> “Wow!

In its 40-year history, the operating system has weathered its fair share of missteps, but Windows 11 is testing the patience of its users in new ways. Persistent bugs, performance issues, intrusive prompts, ads, and bloatware have eroded the core Windows experience. Early system requirement decisions have also damaged trust among Microsoft’s most loyal users, an erosion that’s accelerated by the company’s aggressive push into AI that doesn’t always deliver on its promises. <br><br>Windows is at breaking point, and Microsoft knows it.

Warning

Almost all the messages that arrive here are garbage! Resist the urge to click on any unexpected or questionable links.

It may happen that e-mail will claim to come from liamon.com, especially from some administrative role or process. These are certainly garbage. There are no accounts to expire. There are no passwords to leak. There aren't administrators sending messages to liamon.com addresses. These are certainly phishing attempts.

Absolutely ignore those links!
