it's weird that reddit seemingly solved (at least part of the) cyclosporia outbreak before the CDC and FDA, right? like, that's not really the way it's supposed to work, is it?

We’re never going to live on Mars. We’re never going to live on the Moon. There is no Planet B. We need to take care of our magical mystical miraculous planet like it’s the only home we will ever have. Because it is.
do we have the song of the summer yet, cause if not, what about this classic? @timheidecker.bsky.social

Democratic candidates -- ESPECIALLY in Mich. -- need to leverage this💩 🥬 outbreak to help disengaged voters to understand how/why politics/voting impacts their daily lives. Things like food safety & public health infrastructure matter & they require politicians who commit to funding them.
between the poop lettuce and ash falling from the sky, Michigan is having a pretty memorable summer
In the midst of a multistate cyclospora outbreak, reminder that the CDC last year scaled back a program that monitored, among other things, cyclospora. There's money to pay for pools, ballrooms, bombs, ICE, etc. but no money to fund our most basic food safety? www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...
The CDC quietly scaled back a surveillance program for foodborne illnesses
As of July 1, a critical surveillance program is monitoring for only two pathogens instead of the usual eight.

America keeps trying to get me to go to her birthday party and I’m like no girl u need to go to the hospital
modern country music is essentially 90% lists of nostalgic (or otherwise non-threatening) nouns (cherry-red ragtop, lemonade stand, rope swing) and 10% tepid barbs thrown at New York City
living in America in 2026 is just being in a state of constantly getting ripped off
Thanks to the Pistons for the first piece of national news in 2026 that doesn't give me hives
Me and fall warblers (and gulls) (and most shorebirds….) (….and a lot of ducks)
Need a laugh? Something lighthearted to break up the doom scroll, perhaps? Explore the world of the ocean sunfish and the Bostonians who love them.
Sea turtle? Flounda? Baby fahckin’ wheel? How am I a decade late to the ocean sunfish conversation?
Babe, wake up. My Massachusetts summer seaside diary just dropped.

These might be the most bleak costume ideas in the store (and the irony that everything in there was, like, 30% more expensive than it would’ve been last year). Who is the audience for this tariff tunic costume? “I’m essentially a spreadsheet!” So much Halloween fun! 🥲
I just received notification that my share of the Facebook privacy settlement is headed my way via paper check. Can't wait to spend what I anticipate will be $3 on something special. Take THAT Zuckerberg 😃

In the last week, greedy billionaires have easily convinced me to cancel Hulu, HBO and Disney+. (Adding to the list of Target, Amazon Prime, Netflix and others). I don’t miss any of it. More time and money for cooler shit, like planting native plant like this cute little New England aster! 🤩
Wavy-lined emerald moth. Their caterpillars attach pieces of dried flowers and other plants to themselves as camouflage. Nature! 🤩🤯
