Yeah no problem, we’ll just spend infinite dollars and hours going over all 370 million hectares of forest I assume we can tariff the US when their wildfire smoke drifts over our border?
I thought that we all learned during COVID what the various types of masks do, and yet I see many people walking around with surgical masks as a safety measure in the smoky air.

I kind of feel bad for Taco Bell. They already had a reputation for causing diarrhea, and then this lettuce thing happens totally outside of their control.
Lettuce at Taco Bell in 5 U.S. states confirmed as source of a diarrhea-causing parasite outbreak
U.S. federal health officials have identified lettuce from Mexico served at Taco Bell locations across five U.S. states as a source of the widespread outbreak of diarrhea-causing parasite cyclospora.

So the explosive diarrhea issue is coming mainly from people eating at Taco Bell? Are we sure it's the bacteria and not just their regular food that's causing this?
Forbes@forbes.com · 3w agoThe cyclosporiasis outbreak has sickened thousands of people nationwide, and Michigan has been the hardest hit.
The driving phenomenon that bugs me most is when an accident on one side of a divided highway causes a huge traffic backup on the other side
Do we really have to specify that it's *explosive* diarrhea? Is noting that it's diarrhea not enough?
The parasite causing explosive diarrhea could reach Canada if U.S. can’t find the cause soon, says expert
A problematic parasite often linked to certain fruits and vegetables that’s driving an explosive outbreak in the U.S. has caught the attention of Canadian public health officials.

This dickhead is back in the news, this time trying to double talk about whether or not Canada paid for the Gordie Howe bridge. Says it’s a myth, but then goes on to say that Canada provided all the financing up front. He needs to leave, like now.

The text of the deal is very simple and straightforward, and the US admin is pissing on your leg and telling you it’s raining
Adam Keiper@adamkeiper.com · 2mo ago"It takes a special kind of liar—a complete phony—to sign a written agreement with Iran and then lie to you about what is literally in the agreement. And that is exactly what JD Vance, our beloved vice president, is doing this week." www.thebulwark.com/p/the-stagge...
Is he really out there saying that no part of the $300 billion will come from the U.S.? What a clown.
FactPost@factpostnews.bsky.social · 2mo agoVance: Obama's Iran deal gave them $1 billion. This one gives them nothing.
I get that Carney felt the need to praise this Iran deal as part of a general pivot at the moment to ingratiating himself with Trump. But I'm not sure a politician benefiting from an unusual amount of trust is best to use that capital telling the public stuff he can't possibly believe is true.
If this is indeed the full agreement, it seems like a big defeat for the U.S. Giving up a lot to get what they had under Obama's deal, in addition to the huge cost of the war itself.
