I find myself wondering why no one has mentioned that the year Trump drives all the skilled vegetable pickers out of the country, we just happen to get a food-borne parasite problem. What an unfortunate coincidence. Correlation can’t possibly mean causation in this case.

Representatives for Taylor Farms called the White House to try to delay a recall tied to one of the largest foodborne illness outbreaks in U.S. history www.wsj.com/health/taylo...

Representatives for produce giant Taylor Farms contacted the White House with an urgent plea: the company wanted to delay announcing a recall tied to one of the largest foodborne illness outbreaks in U.S. history. The call, during which the company asked for more proof and more time before being linked to the outbreak, illustrates how one of the country’s largest produce suppliers sought to limit its exposure to a public-relations nightmare, while grappling with a costly and complicated recall. Over the past several weeks, health officials have been scrambling to contain the outbreak of cyclospora, which can cause explosive diarrhea. Some current and former government officials have criticized the handling of the outbreak, both by the administration and Taylor Farms.

A quick word on Taco Bell: That's where we found the suspected lettuce, and it's not bc Taco Bell is gross. It's bc Taco Bell is REALLY GOOD at tracing product! Keeping track of exactly where they got their ingredients, & exactly what restaurants each shipment of ingredients went to!

I saw an early release. It was decent. Not my favorite, but not bad at all. I really like how they countered her powers because having her spend the whole movie with god-like strength would have been boring.

"So why are people acting like Supergirl is the worst movie ever made? (One critic even said it had the “worst script I can remember.”) There’s a simple answer: misogyny." Yes. I'd add that it's almost certainly coordinated misogyny, and someone is profiting from it. ew.com/supergirl-is...

The thing Fox News hasn’t caught onto yet is that most of these these places that foreigners have been loving? They’re blue. Lawrence is one of the most heavily Democratic areas of Kansas. Boston? Dem. New York? Dem. Redmond, Santa Clara, Orlando, KC… www.theguardian.com/football/202...

How Algeria won over a Kansas town – and became the World Cup’s unlikeliest love affair

Lawrence, a college town of about 100,000 in northeastern Kansas, has embraced Les Fennecs with a fervor that has surprised everyone but the people who live there
