It's weird that an army of guys who never leave their houses deciding to boycott a movie didn't have more of an effect.

They kept distributing it until Thursday. So we've still 2 weeks of poss. new cases. "The shredded iceberg product was distributed June 29th thru July 16th in AL, AR, CT, FL, GA, IA, IL, IN, KS, KY, LA, MA, MD, MI, MO, MS, NC, NH, NJ, OH, OK, PA, SC, TN, TX, VA, and WI." www.taylorfarms.com/recall/

Given the lack of details provided by Taylor Farms thus far, Consumer Reports' food safety experts are advising folks in the 27 states implicated by the recall to discard ALL iceberg lettuce until we know more about where the parasite-linked products ended up www.consumerreports.org/health/food-...

"The recall notices posted by Taylor Farms & the FDA are notably sparse on the essential details consumers need to easily identify affected products...

Antifascism looks like Pedro Pascal. It looks like Alex Pretti and AOC. It looks like 600 priests, imams, and rabbis in the cold streets of winter Minneapolis. Antifascism is gorgeous.

Y’all are out here being mean about the way this man looks, when obviously he hasn’t been able to see his own reflection in a mirror in several hundred years.

Honestly, my best work.

This coverage is much better...

As I said the other day - this story is very much revealing how little folks understand the massive reach and influence of agribusiness and how the food chain works. Framing the story around taco bell is a good ex of news coverage failing to give us the info we need about our corporate food system.

This lettuce is literally everywhere and usually it’s in contexts where no one knows/discloses it. Taco Bell is one of the only places doing the right, proactive thing here and misleading headlines are flipping things around making seem like they’re a site of danger instead.

Everybody saw this coming a mile away. And I think it has nothing to do with Israel and is just an excuse.

Not only does JKR popularize anti-trans hate with her massive platform, she actively donates to anti-trans groups and supports legal cases that challenge trans people's human rights. If you support Harry Potter, you are actively making our lives more difficult. There's no escaping that fact.

Amazing things happen when you run a city on the principle of making life better for its citizens.

Leave my boy Taco Bell out of it, it was bitch ass Taylor Farms, the world's largest salad processor. Fight the real enemy Big Salad

The Taco Bell finger pointing is a psyop to redirect attention from the real culprit, the deregulation and lack of oversight in our food supply

“The store's owner, Johnny Gabagool, says thieves stole the copper wires and pipes that supply cold air for the walk-in refrigerator and deli case at the family-owned business.” You’re welcome, Bluesky.

Furious that Chris Nolan would disregard historical accuracy in adapting The Odyssey by making a "movie" with "cameras" instead of memorizing the entire story and then going on a nationwide tour to sing it to us while tripping on ergotized barley

i’ve been in restaurant and farm management and knew enough to know that “taco bell lettuce” meant some big producer’s lettuce. so when ppl were also saying the grocery store deli and mcdonald’s & other big chains i knew it had to be taylor farms. but most ppl wouldn’t, they have no reason to know

Fires are a lot like infectious diseases. They don't respect borders, they require a collective response, and, perhaps most importantly, they can only be managed effectively through careful planning before disaster strikes.

This administration, supposedly representing the “real” salt of the earth Americans, is filled with people like this who have no idea how Americans actually live. For context, each Taco Bell outlet serves about 900 people PER DAY and there are over 300 Taco Bells in Michigan.

No science fiction could have prepared us for just how stupid the end of the world can be. "The environment was on the brink of collapse, and so, rather than deal with that, we burned what fuel we had left getting computers to scam each other for money."

This is why Dems are reluctant to run on retribution, despite its popularity. They want the power he accrued and the surveillance infrastructure he formalized. Period.

"Instructure worked 'to conduct a detailed forensic review of the data involved' [and] the company was set to deliver the first wave of data related to the breach. Instead, [they are] 'pausing data delivery' after learning that 'the third-party platform' may have been subject to a security threat.”

I’m interested in any political imagination for accountability. It has to be proactive & retroactive. It has to be spectacular. And, ideally, it would leave so many of them broke that it actually becomes a deterrent. Being poor is truly all they care about not because they don’t care about prison.

Yesterday a patient remarked off-hand when I walked in the room that they should get a mask too because of the weather. They intended it as a throwaway hyperbolic joke, but I was deadly serious in response: "Yes do it." We need more public health info out there on masking for poor air quality.
