it does actually sound like taylor farms and the white house teamed up to try and blame taco bell for the outbreak. unprecedented corruption
Jessica NixNEW: As cyclosporiasis cases jumped, the company linked to the outbreak - Taylor Farms - effectively delayed a recall that mounted in consumer confusion. Gift link for @business www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
Lovely article in the NY Times. Too bad there was no mention of Euler's polyhedron formula. 😀 www.nytimes.com/2026/07/17/s...
The Las Vegas skyline from Blade Runner 2049 vs the Toronto skyline from right now.

The objection to UBI is not really about money without work. It is about which class is allowed to receive money without work.
Alex Haley grew up in Tennessee. He traced his family tree back to his original enslaved, African ancestor, then wrote 'Roots'. He received a Pulitzer Prize for it. Knoxville just banned it 'cause it might make white kids sad.
we put the worst people in charge of a country and you will absolutely believe what happened next
Well, we started here at BlueSky because we hated Facebook and here we are again. 1.5 years later no one understood why the word Skies was included. So now that we may be back here more it will make sense to people again. Paducah Skies. Lol Because we aren't doing video selfies to identify.
People celebrating freedom in Budapest! This is great news for Ukraine as Hungary was a blocker on aid and potentially joining the EU. This is bad news for Israel as Hungary was a blocker for sanctions against Israel for its actions. This is great news for the world.

Artemis II appears as a short streak in this 30 second image taken 12 hours ago at 15:35 UT (2 April 2026). JPL Horizons was used to compute the position of the spacecraft every few minutes, thus enabling it to be found using plate solving. 🔭 #Artemis #space
This image of home just came down from the Artemis II crew. Taken after their translunar injection burn, there are aurorae at top right and lower left, and zodiacal light at lower right. Credit: NASA/Reid Wiseman
“How much could really get done in 100 days?” ✔️Put $8.5 million in stolen wages back in the pockets of New Yorkers who earned it. From the fast food workers to delivery drivers, we will always defend the hard-working people of New York City against fraudulent employers.

This is completely wrong, and how the power of a paper's editorial board gets normalized. By choosing what content and whose voices they do and don't platform on their op/ed page, papers shape public perception. That's how fascism has become so normal, and why facts now matter so little.
Jill FilipovicNot including this person's handle because I don't want to start a big pile-on but there is such a deep media literacy problem on the left. "The New York Times" is not "supporting" any of the things linked; individual writers on their *opinion* pages are making the case for these positions.
Is the president mocking the U.S. women’s hockey team on a celebratory call with the men’s team going to attract even an iota of the sustained handwringing that the idea of trans athletes disadvantaging women’s sports has gotten
Mayor Brandon Johnson announced “Abolish ICE” as the winner of a citywide snow plow name contest. He had earlier given it a “full and complete” endorsement.
This is what we call murder. Unnecessary, preventable murder, particularly of innocent children and babies. You can save people by giving them these vaccines, or you can kill many of them by not giving them these vaccines. MAHA's goal is to "measure" the murder of children and babies.
Elizabeth Jacobs, PhDRFK Jr. appointee Kirk Milhoan has just clearly stated, out loud, that he wants to experiment on the people of the United States by seeing what happens as vaccination coverage plummets and infectious diseases spread.
We. Do. Not. Vote. On. Rights. That's what makes them rights. The issue is about trans rights, and the rights of all people. As soon as you allow people to vote on them, or to allow public opinion to determine who has them, they're not rights anymore. Popular sovereignty = a slaver's strategy.
Ari DrennenPOLLSTER: voters prefer Dems over GOP approach to trans issues "by a two-to-one margin"
