Surprising fact: We are actually NOT seeing more food recalls this year compared with recent years. What we’re seeing is an increase in the number of illnesses caused by contaminated food. This is the largest ever cyclospora outbreak & third-largest foodborne illness outbreak of any kind on record.
Number of food recalls by year
There have been 162 food recalls posted this year by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the Department of Agriculture.

Chart shows yearly food recall numbers from 2017 to 2026.

Hey it's me, Sonic the Hedgehog! Is America truly free if police routinely harass and murder people of color for simply existing in public spaces? Are we free to pursue happiness if millions of people are one missed paycheck or hospital visit away from homelessness? Liberty and Justice for who?

The sentences handed down today in Texas are a threat to the possibility of a democratic society. The prosecution is rife with constitutional violations, but 30 years in prison (more than anyone for January 6) for moving some magazines? 50 years for those not involved in even planning the protest?

Still waiting for AI to solve climate change :) www.semafor.com/article/05/0...
Saudi Aramco’s new supercomputer, meant to accelerate the search for new oil and gas deposits and enhance output from existing fields, costs $373 million.

Once operational in early 2027, the system will offer seven times more compute capacity than Aramco currently has, enabling it to handle larger volumes of data for seismic imaging and reservoir simulations.

The supercomputer, which is being developed with local firm Solutions by stc, is a clear sign of how Gulf oil producers are using technology to transform their oil and gas industries. Saudi Arabia’s AI national champion HUMAIN was in part born out of Aramco’s past investments in technology, while Abu Dhabi National Oil Co. has developed its own AI assistant and is working with US-based Gecko Robotics to create autonomous systems that can detect corrosion, predict failures, and optimize production — technology that can be sold on to other energy producers.

Anything that has purchase with people—anything they value or care about—can be leveraged or exploited by someone seeking to build their own power. There’s not a single word we can coin that won’t eventually be used against us. This is why building an analysis of power itself is vital.

I’m sorry he got so blackout drunk they had to ask for SWAT door busting equipment?!
On multiple occasions in the past year, members of his security detail had difficulty waking Patel because he was seemingly intoxicated, according to information supplied to Justice Department and White House officials. A request for “breaching equipment”—normally used by SWAT and hostage-rescue teams to quickly gain entry into buildings—was made last year because Patel had been unreachable behind locked doors, according to multiple people familiar with the request.
