Chipotle isolated a single source of Jalapeno peppers contaminated with Salmonella. They figured it out. RFK Jr. can’t

Maybe, now just spitballing here, but hear me out... but people who are terminally online don't always make the best leaders of political parties
I'm glad it's been declined. It's a sadly familiar routine perpetrators trying to use victims to launder their reputation. If someone genuinely wants to make amends they do so quietly and on the victim's terms. They don't trumpet their plans to meet in the media. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
Oh my god the dietician who is telling everyone in the White House to only eat steak and sauerkraut doesn't wipe his ass.
The Tory "plan" to send prisoners to foreign jails isn't getting enough scrutiny. What is the legal basis for banishing British citizens to Albania? Whose laws are they subject to? How many prison staff have to go over? Are family visits just abolished? How many prisoners are we talking about?
🧵🧵🧵 A scandal that hardly anyone knows happened is Trump giving traitor Michael Flynn $1.25 million in your tax money. Flynn, Trump’s 1st national security adviser, pleaded guilty twice to lying to the FBI but was pardoned by Trump. He sued, alleging "weaponization," and DOJ paid him in March. 1/4🧵
Justice Dept. Settles Flynn’s Wrongful Prosecution Suit for $1.25 Million (Gift Article)
The agreement was an extraordinary example of how the Trump administration has offered legal relief to those aligned with the president.

The modern Conservative Party, where Net Zero gets you out and Neo Nazism gets you in
Hands up if you just knew Polanksi was going to wade in on this one and stick up for the guy jailed for a prolonged campaign of antisemitic harassment against a Jewish MP

On the one hand, people in the UK are lamenting the loss of wetlands and ponds over the last 200 years. On the other hand, Kent had a malaria outbreak in 1917-1921 and it was combatted in part by draining wetlands and ponds
The VDV living up to their reputation by losing their last man.
Darth Putin@darthputinkgb.bsky.social · yesterdayA Russian paratrooper jumped at Airborne Forces Day celebrations outside Moscow. His parachute failed to open and he crashed to his death. Making a perfect analogy for this war.
.better than they do themselves. It is also necessary to deny our buffer states any agency of their own and assign to them the status as mere pawns of organizational like NATO who *force* them into NATO whereas what they really desire is to be defenseless against russia which got so big peacefully.
NATO’s popularity with the people we did this to remains a complete mystery. What they really need is rich westerners like @jeremycorbyn.bsky.social, @hackneyabbott.bsky.social or Nigel Farage who know zero of their language, history or culture to tell them that *they* know what's best for Latvia...
OTD in 1940, USSR formally annexed Latvia. Soviets troops had been "invited in" (in accordance with absolutely nothing to do with our treaty with Nazis) & then held "elections" where 99%+ voted to join USSR. None of this should sound familiar to you.
I have to admit while doing my degree on history that living in a time that being a Nazi is not career ending is quite a shock
I'm old enough to remember when far right posters on Twitter were claiming that Bonehill either was not real or was some secret psyop by "the left" to discredit the right wing.
I see local government in London is up to its trick of throwing out tents used by the homeless
It's OK for criminal ex-neo Nazis to run your bins is a hell of a line.
Wait, aren't we still probing all the fraud from stripping back or ignoring the procurement rules during COVID?

Badenoch won’t give Shapps a second chance, but will give Bonehill-Paine. Interesting choices she makes.
The US military while conducting a GPS jamming exercise could have caused a civilian aircraft to crash into the side of a mountain, killing everyone on board.

Drone warfare is making the skies more dangerous, even for airplanes far from the battlefield.

I kicked a can over yesterday, and that's that there are different definitions of the word "antibiotic" in use. Definition and usage of the term vary a bit between disciplines, between countries, in standardisation bodies, in regulatory/legislative definition, etc.
Reform UKs plan to use the Royal Navy to intercept migrant boats in the Channel brilliantly taken apart by ... er ... Nigel Farage
Evidence of the great benefits of AI: it used to take a huge amount of time and effort to make yourself look this stupid; now AI allows you to humiliate yourself almost instantly.
PBS News@pbsnews.org · 6d agoThe State Department said it takes "full responsibility" for "hastily" altering and then presenting a map of Africa at a global AIDS conference that mislabeled every single country it highlighted. An analysis by Reuters found a watermark in the map image that suggests it was made with OpenAI.
Oh dear gods, public procurement is hard enough for the purpose of public procurement, let alone as a device for economic policy.

Reminder that the Tories believe any non-British person who commits more than a minor parking or traffic offence should be automatically deported. They “believe in second chances”, apparently, but only for literal Nazis.
