Salmonella jalapeño is quite the mouthful.
Matt Novak@paleofuture.bsky.social · 3h agoThe FDA has a map of the salmonella jalapeno cases. Minnesota and Colorado have the most identified (110), though that might just be a product of those local health departments being more diligent as the Trump regime has decimated federal public health infrastructure.

This. The longer it takes the more likely the market for these things fall apart. If only because this generation of “AI” tech cannot pencil out in how it’s being built.

My theory is Mike Rogers will have $300+ million: $80 million AIPAC and adjacent $100 million crypto and big tech $40 million Elon Musk $80 million pharma/health insurance industry Defense contractors might throw in $20 million to keep the wheels greased. And he'll lose by 7.

The reason Blutah is so allurring is... the whole state lives in cities! Almost no one lives in the rural parts of Utah. One of our most urbanized (and highly educated) states! bsky.app/profile/eean...

Dying at the right-wing activists that (1) held a call with Todd Blanche in which Blanche made a lot of anti-abortion promises, (2) said "uh this is off the record" like doing so would magically ward off journalists, and then (3) UPLOADED IT TO THEIR YOUTUBE CHANNEL www.politico.com/news/2026/08...
it's been that way for at least 40 years. we won't notice the change
Stan Oklobdzija@stano.bsky.social · 10h agoFor federal elections, splitting the GOP into two competing crank Nazi movements would be great for Democrats. At the state/local level, however, we'd be condemning large portions of the South and Midwest to governance by Crossfit George Wallace's.
And we don’t even have fun things like “by-elections featuring Binface.” We really suck.

Hannah Krieg@hannahkrieg.bsky.social · 2d agoNEW: Young people are on the ballot this election, but can we please get young people to the ballot BOX? So far, King County voters 65+ account for 4 times as many ballots as people under 35. You have until 8pm Tuesday to close that gap!
YOU, BORING, MAINSTREAM: the outcome of the dem primary in michigan is very important to me, a bloo bloo ME, A HETERODOX INTELLECTUAL: waiting for washington state returns to come in so we find out if MGP gets boxed out in her top-two primary
37.6% of the vote counted in Michigan: El-Sayed and Stevens are separated by fewer votes than non-candidate Mallory McMorrow is getting. Too early to call.

THE $168 BILLION WAS TAKEN ILLEGALLY AND THE GOVERNMENT DIDN’T WANT TO GIVE IT BACK. Kill me I’ve wasted my life.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · yesterdayBessent: "Here at the Treasury, I had $168 billion of tariff revenues that we're gonna have to refund. So when the Democrats scream, "Oh, the refunds should go back to the American people!', well, the American people had it, it was in the Treasury and it was paying down the debt."
"saudi arabia owns EA" is going to be the headline you see basically everywhere for this one but "jared kushner is about to use EA as a vehicle for trump administration bribes" is equally relevant imo
![The firm is fully owned by Jared Kushner and has a staff of approximately 20 people.[2][5] By 2024, the firm had returned no profits to its investors.[6] The firm has been controversial due to conflicts of interests arising from Kushner soliciting funds from Middle Eastern governments while also working as an envoy having direct and indirect dealings with those governments in his role in the second Trump administration.[7] According to reporting by Bloomberg News, investors in the firm do so with the expectation of influencing the Trump administration.[8]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2jjromh55tf7pp7s4hsvurf4/bafkreihebdzjog2hp37o2q3enjyrsi46btqktev76ogpneczsrrzl55fo4)

RIP AirTable. Which really sucks as AirTable is far better than it has any right to be.
