CDC is no longer surveilling outbreaks caused by campylobacter, cyclospora, listeria, shigella, vibrio and Yersinia. What could go wrong?
The CDC quietly scaled back a surveillance program for foodborne illnesses.
As of July 1, a critical surveillance program is monitoring for only two pathogens instead of the usual eight.

UPDATE: Secret Service agents — not ICE — were denied entry at a Chicago school despite initial CPS reports, a CPS source said.
Secret Service agents were looking for an 11-year-old who posted an anti-Trump video, the source said. https://buff.ly/3EatFDz

MatMire Makes Tarantula
This guy features articulation along every joint and pedipalps! The abdomen is also able to be wiggled. This fun toy is super posable.
Fun tarantula fact: We have no idea why some tarantula are some of the most vivid shades of blue!

Hi friends!
I just wanted to give a quick update on The Onion’s purchase of InfoWars, which we can’t wait to relaunch as the dumbest website on the internet.
The long and short of it: We won the auction and — you're not going to believe this — the previous InfoWars folks aren't taking it well.

New manatee print from MatMire Makes.
Fun fact- did you know that manatees have flipper nails? Just like toe nails on elephants, they are largely useless

I'm Ralph. I work in IT, mostly as a network engineer, in a managed IT firm, so I'm basically a jack of all trades. My personal life isn't much better. :D 3D printing is in the bio, and I've posted some of the examples, but the other hobby I've been into lately is carnivorous plants.

Just sub'd. Out here doing the work that needs to be done! Can't wait to see what happens with InfoWars, since now it could potentially become an actual source for facts.
You better fucking subscribe to The Onion. This is the kind of thing we will do with your money.
It allowed us to buy InfoWars. Now help us staff it.

Māori MPs briefly suspended the Aotearoa parliament’s attempts to reinterpret their founding treaty in the most bad ass use of the Haka I’ve ever seen.

Tonight feels like a baked potato night. Crispy salty skin goodness....mmm.
Also trying to figure out what I want to present at my next craft showing next month.
It's a Christmas show, and I'll have some themed items, but they usually don't sell great
