A diarrhea-causing parasite has now infected over 1,000 Americans, spreading across 29 states.

Last year, RFK Jr and Elon Musk dissolved the CDC office responsible for preventing parasitic infections.

You can turn it off in “Sharing and reuse” in your “Settings”. Also do the same for Threads, on Tik Tok, and especially on here since they have similar options.

Big cyclosporiasis outbreak in 18+ states. 1000 cases just in Michigan. (Normal ~50 per year).

CDC doesn’t even seem to know of the outbreak officially.

CDC “quietly” dropped surveilling it last year, citing no funding. DOGE also cut about 20% CDC staff.

Woodchipper in action.

the only data center that should be funded is the fucking library.

Almost zero coverage on social media about how Trump lost his final appeal and must pay the woman he raped for lying about raping her.

Odd.

Palestinian goalkeeper Salim Al-Ashqar has been killed by Israeli forces in Gaza.

He leaves behind his wife of 5 months who is expecting their first child.

Brie Larson was right.

Out of 296 Rotten Tomatoes reviews that I looked at, 211 (71%) are by men and 85 (29%) are by women.

113/211 (53%) of men’s reviews are negative while only 22/85 (25%) of women’s are negative.

There are more negative film reviews of Supergirl by men then there are reviews written by women in total. So it doesn’t matter that women overwhelmingly liked the movie: their opinions are barely registering.

I think there should be some way to weigh film reviews to reflect the target demographics of the intended audience, personally.

But I’ll be writing a piece for @NewSalemNews out hopefully later this week with all of my thoughts.

Vibrio vulnificus, a flesh-eating bacteria with a 20% mortality rate, has been spotted in multiple U.S. waterways.

This comes after the Trump administration disrupted water monitoring systems and slashed CDC programs that studied the bacteria.

The Trump administration has approved the use of cancer-linked pesticides diflufenican and epyrifenacil, both PFAS forever chemicals.

Neither pesticide has ever been used in the United States before.

The Trump administration has removed federal protections for the habitat of the endangered whooping crane.

Only 500 whooping cranes remain.
