Saunter Vaguely Downwards

It's gonna be Good Omens around here for *a while*  —  Used to define Hannibal as "an angel who did not fall so much as saunter vaguely downards" and. well. now they *actually* made the thing and I am a whole and entire wreck over it :')

In case anyone hasn't heard, the cyclospora outbreak affecting tons of people in the US right now is coming from Taylor Farms produce. Best to stay away from bagged lettuce and prepared salads completely right now, but especially the ones mentioned in the screenshot:

Taylor Farms Earthbound Farms Little Salad Bar (Aldi) Marketside (Walmart) Kroger House Brand Target private label greens Costco salads and greens etc Trader Joe's chopped salad kits and fresh produce Fast food: McDonalds, Taco Bell, (Yum! Brands), Chipotle, Subway, Pizza Hut, KFC, Olive Garden, Top Golf, Red Lobster, Burger King, etc.

This is not the first time I've heard about a Taylor Farms foodborne illness outbreak. I stopped eating their salads after reading a description of the conditions in their facilities. Doesn't sound like they've improved anything.

We need a fully funded and staffed FDA, and regulations with teeth - and that's exactly what we don't have under Trump. To make things worse, the CDC is no longer tracking these outbreaks. We're on our own.

As cyclosporiasis cases rise, consumers are left guessing which foods to avoid

Officials are still searching for the source of the outbreak, prompting consumers to seek advice on social media about which foods to avoid.

a source, if anyone would like. It seems this outbreak is linked back to a Taylor Farms source farm in Central Mexico.

also some advice about specific foods—

Will humanity ever be free of the influence of Edna Mode? Can any of us so much as consider the character design for a hero or villain without her manifesting in the room, fully aware of our sins?

[were-writes]

You know what, another layer of difficulty is when you’re thinking about villains, and the wise words of Megamind come into your head. You don’t just want your child to be just a regular villain. But how do you make your villain a Supervillain with no cape? Where is the drama? But Edna says no capes, you must deny them the flair. It is impossible to please them both, and it’s tearing this family apart.

“No capes!”

Okay, but I love that Gandalf is just dropping his cloak to reveal another, slightly smaller cloak underneath it.

i hate these motherfuckers so much. our sewer system used to be infested with them. they;d crawl out of my fucking toilet at night looking for warmth, standing up from the bowl waving their shitass little arms at me. they don’t have eyes but you can feel them staring back at you, asking for hugs or god knows what with that pathetic whine that permeates their entire way of existence. uppies! uppies! i’m not giving you uppies you wet toilet freak

[foldingfittedsheets]

This image was so visceral I had to draw it.

To clarify, these are called olms and it’s impossible for them to be in toilets but it’s still quite vivid isn’t it?

[bucketofdeltav]

I found some in a jar in a museum and had to frantically cram back my immediate reaction of “It’s the uppie wet toilet freaks!” because you can’t just blurt that out in a museum

[agwitow]

… these fuckers can apparently live up to 10 years with no food…

And, somehow, they do not appear to be related to the “snake legs” that witches supposedly used in potions…

Love the whole Shroedinger's Grace thing the fandom has going on. Like, obviously we all love a good angsty contemplation of the many years Rocky will have to live after Grace dies of old age, but also, obviously eating taumoeba or repeated exposure to xenonite dramatically extends human lifespans somehow.

Grace is simultaneously dead at 85 after undergoing the normal human ageing process (exacerbated by higher gravity) and still going strong at 326. We only know for certain when any given fic writer collapses the wave function.

To Americans who might feel inclined to scoff at Europeans talking about the heat: I know you’ve heard this before but maybe you’ll listen to an American who spent many years of her life dealing with 115F / 46C summers out in the American west and now lives in France.

THIS IS WORSE. It’s so much worse.

When you hear “there’s no AC” you probably are thinking like…oh that’s rough, but still I’ve dealt with those temps. My old place didn’t have AC. It can’t be that bad.

NO. The lack of AC trickles down into every facet of dealing with the heat in a way that slowly and quite literally boils you alive. It’s not just “oh my apartment is hot this sucks”, it’s “there is nowhere you can go to cool down and if you overheat there is no help available”

For most there’s no AC anywhere. Anywhere. The coolest place available is maybe your local church, or a shopping center. Both will kick you out around 8pm, the hottest part of the day. In France and Spain in particular, the time zone is wrong (Hitler’s fault—we’re still aligned with Germany instead of the UK) and the sun doesn’t set until 10-11pm. Heat is still being actively pumped into your living spaces at 10pm.

And the temps do not meaningfully drop overnight. (Which you might expect if you’re from the American west. Southerners do understand this.) Many people live in stone walled buildings that just keep heating up. This is very literally the experience of being in a stone oven. And there’s no way to drop the temperature. You can’t escape it.

If your body temp climbs to unmanageable levels and you start experiencing heat exhaustion, you can call the hospital…most of which also do not have AC. I’m not sure how they’re treating people, I guess with ice packs? There’s already been a handful of deaths in my city, and that’s before any kind of post-wave reporting. These are real time reported deaths.

Anyway I want you to really, really internalize the sense of panic that starts to set in when you’re in these circumstances. The animal brain really starts to go wild when there’s no options and no escape. That’s why Europeans are posting about suffering.

(And no—leaving isn’t possible either. Many people don’t have cars, and the trains are down due to track over heating. And also don’t have AC. These conditions are frankly genuinely scary.)

Do you ever think about how mythical and godlike Murderbot must be to the other rogue secunits in Platform Decay? More importantly do you think they all have a crush on it??? *murderbot shoots me with a sniper rifle killing me instantly*

[ID: A Murderbot Diaries comic set in Platform Decay. A Secunit looks out warily before entering a door surrounded by foliage into a room with a poster that says "Welcome to the Rogue Secunits Lair" and a poster with a picture of Three that says "viva la threevolution". It pings another Secunit, who's kicking back on a couch and watching a security feed plus "Human Fails Pt.17" and running lounging.exe. It exclaims, "Hey! You're back early!"

The first Secunit sits down with a perturbed expression, and the second asks, "What's wrong?" The first says, "I..." It turns with a giddy blush and smile. "... I think I just met the rogue Secunit." The second, in shock: "You mean--" The first: "Yeah." The second: "No way."

It asks, with sparkles floating around it, "Did it say anything to you?" The first has hearts floating around it and its hands raised excitedly to its face as it replies, "It sent me these"--it transfers YouCantSeeMe.code, WeaponsWhatWeapons.code, and ActLikeAHuman_V1.code to the second--"and told me to fuck off (heart)". The second, hands pressed to its cheeks, says brightly, "Omg luckyyyy." End ID]
