AI seriously misinterprets specs on these 2 electric canners made by Ball Mason Jars. The company specs say they are both exactly the same size, but AI mistakes the capacity of the water bath for the capacity of numbers of jars, and then 1/3 canning , food

Can anyone find the actual news release from Michigan Public health quoted? www.nytimes.com/2026/07/13/w... Here's the Michigan.gov July 13, but I want the actual news release the NYT reporter says identified "lettuce or salad greens" as a potential source. www.michigan.gov/mdhhs/keep-m...

‘Lettuce or Salad Greens’ Identified as Potential Source of Cyclospora Outbreak

Michigan health officials announced the preliminary findings, but they cautioned that other foods could not be ruled out. The illness has sickened thousands across the United States.

Thomas Paine is my favorite founding father. He was famously abolitionist and one of the earliest voices to point out the hypocrisy of fighting for independence while keeping slaves. He also firmly believed that keeping any friendship which required compromising your morals made you a bad person.

This is terrifying. I'm not onboard with generalizing from one act to the country at large, but sure seems like some aspects of civil society are breaking down. Or did this amount of crap always happen, and without the internet it didn't have news reach

As the screwworm spreads... Remember that Elon Musk’s DOGE cut $15M from a screwworm monitoring program. And we're now learning that Trump’s USDA delayed a project to develop new ways to contain the parasite and held up construction of a monitoring facility. The incompetence is dangerous.

This is quite good. Interesting takes from some Maine women who had voted for Harris in 2024, in one of Sarah's focus groups, too. (Yeah, yeah. Focus groups, I get it. But I think they're sometimes worth it for new2me ideas being expressed.)

The absolute bottom of the journalistic barrel is people in the media chiding Scott Pelley for having the gall to confront Bilton. If you want a job licking boots, become a bootlicker. You’re not a journalist.

What happened, @nytimes.com? Why not stand by your original headline? Because it’s absolutely an accurate representation of this trash conversation. To publish this at all should be a fireable offense - but to publish it as women’s rights are being decimated is deeply immoral, bordering on evil
