Hey remember when the CDC dropped 6 of the 8 foodborne illnesses from the nationwide monitoring system in July and one of them was listeria? Mentioning for no particular reason www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

My grandfather had a 1950-something large Tbird and my grandmother drove one of those sporty little 1955 convertible Tbirds, it was white on the outside and turquoise inside. When I got old enough to drive they got me a Ford Pinto lol. Tbirds are cool!

ICE is firing pellets and pepper balls at journalists in Broadview outside Chicago today, but they're local journalists so it feels like the national media will not care at all. I hope I'm wrong.

Speaking of voices under attack…can we be just as loud about Black journalists and comedians who are silenced, even by our so-called liberal outlets.

Many of the men deported to CECOT said they are permanently changed: struggling to sleep, drink water or leave their homes.

One man broke into tears describing how he had a panic attack the first time he walked down a busy Venezuelan street.

Pet parrots which typically live alone (whilst those in the wild live in large flocks) were given the technology to call each other. They would use it for up to three hours a day, and developed favourite friends 💔
on.ft.com/3K05vhS

When a parrot wanted to connect with a distant friend, a touchscreen showed a selection of other birds available online. The parrots learned to activate the screen, designed specially for them, by touching it gently with their tongues rather than pecking aggressively with their beaks.
"We had 26 birds involved," said Hirskyj-Douglas. "They would use the system up to three hours a day, with each call lasting up to five minutes." The interactions ranged from preening and playing with toys to loud vocal exchanges.
"When we went through the data, we found that most of these parrots had favourite friends," said Hirskyj-Douglas.

Our billionaire President put an airline lobbyist in charge of the Department of Transportation. So no, this is not a surprise.

I grew up in the 60s and remember we ate some healthy meals, but also a lot of frozen TV dinners and…bacon. So much bacon we had a grease holder for it and used the fat over and over. Also the adults smoked, drank and many women were on Valium and other relaxers!
