Animal Control was surprisingly good the first 3 seasons that I watched. They made some choices the beginning of season 4 that made my husband and I lose interest, I need to circle back and see what's happening.

I have hated him for a couple decades due to the AIDS denial activism. Glad to see the hate spreading.

The Lady In White scared me so much as a kid, I expected it to seem tame to me now as a horror-loving adult but nope. Still scary.

NEW: As Trump’s White House and influencers keep touting the unproven benefits of raw milk, hundreds across the country are falling ill from outbreaks. Some people get severe indigestion. And some nearly die. Here's the story of one toddler who drank it. 🧵👇 www.propublica.org/article/cali...

Sexual assault is on the rise. And recent examples in higher ed and across multiple industries, remind me how many grown men still apparently struggle with the concept of CONSENT.

I liked Skeletor but I don't think Leto did anything with the role that couldn't have been done just as well by someone less terrible. And maybe the sexual innuendo would have been less creepy (I liked the film, I will watch again).

New York sculptor spent $100,000 to make a Charlie Kirk statue no one wants to buy
Sergio Furnari said he thought the lifesize sculpture – which no one commissioned – would raise ‘millions’ of dollars A New York sculptor has been left furious after spending $100,000 of his own money to build a lifesize statue of Charlie Kirk, only to find that no one wants to buy it. Sergio Furnari, originally from Italy, had hoped the statue of the deceased far-right activist, which he intends to display in Times Square, would raise “millions” of dollars. Instead, he said he has been inundated by messages from people saying they intend to urinate on the sculpture. Continue reading...

It’s worth noting that Taco Bell identified the source before the FDA did, and promptly pulled it from their stores. The FDA didn’t even name the source until Taylor Farms outed themselves, and hasn’t issued a recall. Basically, Taco Bell is now a more reliable authority than the FDA.

I do think pinning this on specifically Taco Bell is weird since many confirmed cases aren’t people who ate at Taco Bell at all and we know the actual source—Taylor Farms—distributes lettuce and other produce to many, many other large food businesses

As an immunosuppressed person I’m so angry at everyone responsible for the CDC’s non-response to the Cyclospora outbreak. We have no guidelines, just news articles sharing long lists of foods to avoid because they’ve been associated with outbreaks in the past. It’d be funny if it wasn’t so stupid.

Unlike some of the more common foodborne pathogens, cyclospora is resistant to bleach and common sanitizers used by food manufacturers. It is also resistant to chlorine, the primary disinfectant used in most municipal water and wastewater treatment systems.

The Explosive Diarrhea Outbreak Is About to Get Much Bigger
Official case counts likely capture only a fraction of US cyclosporiasis infections, and the outbreak is likely to get worse before it gets better.
