The headline itself is a solid proof that this article is written by people who have no idea about how a yogurt should taste. ProTip: All yogurt is supposed to be eaten plain, and if they need a flavoring agent to make them edible it is worth avoiding them altogether.

This is why there is a color named “Turquoise”. 💙

The variety of olives you can buy in a Turkish Farmer’s Market always blows my mind!

I genuinely thought this was a joke made w/ AI, but I was wrong and apparently costs $60 dollars and bunch of people bought and already raving about it. Wow.

Amazing thread.

As *tech*, AI isn't exceptional. It's not exceptionally wicked. It's not exceptionally good. Take away the accompanying, galactic-scale stock-swindle, and we'd call AI's apps "plug-ins" and we'd use them and abuse them in the same way that we've used every other technology: www.normaltech.ai 1/

The FDA has announced that 1.6 million eggs have been contaminated with salmonella, forcing a nationwide recall. Last year, the Trump administration scrapped regulations to limit salmonella and laid off hundreds of food safety inspection workers.

The pro-peptide stacked FDA advisory committee voted to lift the ban for BPC-157, as expected. This ban lifting is baseless and will give the public a sense of legitimacy for a peptide with no clinical trial data to support safety or efficacy. Pathetic.

Today, reading news feels like The US travelled backed in time to like… 50’s? Measles outbreak, parasites in our food, people being hospitalized due to raw milk, shortage on basic medications… MAHA should be renamed to MASA - Make America Sick Again.

you didn't need AI to predict this..... www.nytimes.com/2026/07/24/w...

Great article that prompts the reader to look beyond news hype and manipulative nature of AI news. Where every announcement tied to an IPO announcement we should practice a bit of critical thinking before jumping into assumptions and conclusions.

Be skeptical of OpenAI’s rogue hacker agent story | John Thickstun

The C.D.C.’s parasite-surveillance team, which was instrumental in tracing the origin of the 2013 cyclospora outbreak, had 11 scientists before DOGE began gutting federal agencies. Now it has three. www.newyorker.com/culture/prog...

Regulators have linked Mark McAfee’s raw dairy farm to more than a dozen recalls and outbreaks that left hundreds of people ill. “I’ve put a couple kids in the hospital,” McAfee said. “But here’s the thing: I’m a pioneer.”

He Profits Off Raw Milk That’s Making People Sick. The Government Isn’t Stopping Him.

With Raw Farm, the largest raw-milk dairy in the country, Mark McAfee has capitalized on a once-fringe product that’s been thrust into the mainstream in recent years and backed by Health Secretary Rob...

Gandalf is displaying all his cuteness to convince me to pack him for my trip.

We had one of the most beautiful hikes of the last year. Finding fresh water crayfishes in the creek we stopped by for lunch was the unexpected bonus. I did not even know these little fellas live so deep in the woods and get this big.

In cancer care, use of alternative medicine is associated with increased death. In this study, greater conspiracy mentality and lower science literacy skills are linked to believing that cures for cancer are being suppressed: www.semanticscholar.org/paper/The-ro...

The internet doesn't bring out the worst in people. It makes the worst people more visible. Across all 30 countries studied, those who are nasty in online political discussions are nasty in real life, too. They seek status through hostility. Don't feed the hand that bites you.

Seems like we now officially sinked to the Dynasty stage from Democracy.

Trump: "I recommended, to Governor Henry McMaster, Lindsey Graham’s wonderful sister, Darline, to serve as interim Senator from the Great State of South Carolina. This would be a fabulous tribute to Lindsey, who loved her dearly! President DONALD J. TRUMP"

Sad to hear Sam Neil passed today. I never watched the Jurassic Park(s), but I loved his performance in “In the Mouth of Madness”, one of the best Lovecraftian movies. If you have not watched it, I highly recommend.

Here is Graham gloating about "killing all the right people." Just in case you see anyone try to do the whole "we should have decency for the dead" nonsense.

counterpoint: the dead should make it harder for me to speak ill of them

Important statement from the New York Times

In 1990, 21,280 Nike sneakers spilled into the ocean... Hubby read the following story in a non-fiction sailing book and I tried to verify. The main story about the floating shoes is true (look up Hansa Carrier on Wikipedia). Scientists' (oceanographers, not flotsamists) involvement is also true.

One minute these babies are fine. The next they're seizing, or vomiting blood, or not waking from a nap, or not breathing. I spoke with more than a dozen doctors who have seen the consequences of more parents declining the routine vitamin K shot for their newborns. This is what it looks like.

Can you imagine men have to go through an annual screening that involves crushing testicles between two plates while they hold skill? Me neither, because we would have invented a less painful screening method by now. But if it is a mammogram, nah,women should be used to pain anyway, so no need. 😒

Me: Hello! I am here for my mammogram and ultrasound appointment. Front desk (FD): Oh hi, it will be $600. Me: But I have an insurance? (and a darn pretty good one too!) Did they deny it? FD: Oh no, this is the remaining amount after their approval. Me: <wtf?!> 🤯🤯

did you know that the English words druid, trust, truth, betroth, and truce all share a root word with “tree”? this reflects the longstanding spiritual and symbolic significance of trees in many European cultures

Federal agents visited the home of a man who had sent a scathing email to a top ICE official after two demonstrators were killed. Now, a free-speech watchdog is suing the Trump administration, arguing that the agents’ actions were intended to intimidate the man.
