An auk and three penguins. Les animaux sauvages. 1933.

In the story, the penguins have arrived in Paris. They're wondering where the snow is.

On this, the anniversary of the lunar landing, let us also celebrate the greatest post-mission achievement by a crewman.

I refer, of course, to the time Buzz Aldrin (age 72 at the time) cold-cocked a moon landing conspiracy theorist straight in his smug face after being accused of being a coward, liar, and thief.

Yes, someone was indeed dumb enough to tell a man so unafraid of death that he was willing to go into the void on a fragile explosive rocket, a coward.

Said dumbass was filming this confrontation as some sort of proof of moon fraud, but has instead captured this glorious moment of near-cosmic justice for us to loop for all time.

Aldrin was not charged with any crime. He should have been given another medal for public service.

E. A. Mattila,

"Lost Horizons," 1971

watching doge cuts catch up to people in real time as someone from arlington who had most of their friends parents (and my own) lose their jobs and see the ENTIRE scientific infrastructure as well as basic fed system be gutted destroyed and sold for parts... i feel very angry and sad. and i need everyone to be more terrified. i know from the inside that its not a joke when people say dont trust the cdc, info coming out now is all heavily filtered from EVERY gov agency. there have been internal loyalty tests in EVERY agency. FED AGENCIES IN CHARGE OF HOUSING FOOD HEALTH WERE BIPARTISAN UNTIL THIS ELECTION AND IT IS NOW FILLED WITH NEO-CONS. they FIRED any progressives remaining or forced them out/ cut their work im not kidding we should all be a little scared because i know for an actual first hand fact they now ask the federal employees responsible for your cyber security, food safety and vaccines if they are loyal to this admin and thats very scary. it used to be you had to swear an oath to the american people and the constitution and you were required to be nonpartisan in your work, now its JUST LOYAL TO TRUMP. THATS IT. all agendas are CHRISTIAN CONSERVATIVE. IM NOT KIDDING. we should be fucking scared of the next decade of federal work. you thought shit was underfunded before? get ready for the next wave of splash back from cuts to the most integral structures in our nation.

“So... We got the exploding diarrhea. Here's my advice for anyone who doesn't have it yet:

It's going to take a minute for the government to pin down where this is coming from, and then issue a recall, because the FDA has been gutted. But, I can tell you, without a shadow of a doubt : this is coming from Taylor Farms produce, and you will see them recalled.

You'll want to avoid all Taylor Farms produce in the grocery store. They supply McDonalds, KFC, Pizza Hut, about any fast food place you can think of.

Raspberries, watermelons, cilantro, and the veggies you're hearing about are not causing this many people to get sick. It's the shredded lettuce, specifically, that's the problem. But, you'll want to stay away from every type of produce this company puts out, because one strand of shredded lettuce is all it takes to contaminate bushels.

Taylor Farms is the source. Taco Bell proactively pulled their produce from their restaurants. You're going to see other fast food places doing this, and probably will see that before the government names a source. The FDA knows this, but they can't come out and tell us all until there's proof, which takes resources and research, which takes manpower, but the FDA has been cut by about 20-30%

During the Biden term, onions at McDonald's had ecoli. We knew this because DNA testing was done quickly and they were able to narrow it down to one place that caused the outbreak. And, it was traced back to Taylor Farms. This isn't going to be solved as quickly though.

When you get this, make a virtual appointment to your PCP - a "same day sick" appointment. Tell them someone in your family just tested for this and was positive and was prescribed Bactrim. If you go in person, they're probably going to make you poop in a cup and wait until results come back to prescribe.

You'll know when you get this. Trust me on all of this.

You'll want to stay hydrated because this parasite damages the lining of the small intestine. Your small intestine, in turn, secretes more water into the gut, and less nutrients and liquid are able to remain in the body. So no matter how much you shit, you're going to want to drink. A day of this leads to dehydration if you don't increase your fluid intake, and a few days will land you in the hospital.

If you have headaches, weakness, muscle cramps, dizziness, or an increase heart rate - hydrate, hydrate, hydrate. Go to the ER for fluids if you can't drink enough.

Thank you for coming to my Ted talk. Brought to you by America's 250 birthday celebrations, workforce reduction in the FDA and CDC, and viewers like you.

Please feel free to share this.

And, MAGA - don't blow up the comment section. I argued with y'all on COVID bc I was afraid y'all would die, but I really don't care if you get explosive diarrhea.

And no, ivermectin will not help this at all.”
