They screwed up the subscriptions in the YouTube app. Now I can't see new videos in reverse chronological order, only "recommended". There's a video posted 2 hours ago that won't show up, but something from two weeks ago is at the top. Do better YouTube.

Food poisoning for all!

Elizabeth Jacobs, PhD@elizabethjacobs.bsky.social

“Lawmakers have attempted for years to pass language that would allow small ranches and local slaughterhouses to sell meat directly to consumers without USDA inspections”. And now Trump is attempting to do just that. This is dangerous. There are regulations around food processing for a reason.

politico.comTrump looks to ease beef processing regulationsThe sweeping changes to meat processing will likely require a longer-term regulatory process or congressional action.

To be clear, when the orange felon keeps talking about plans to have unregulated meat processing in the United States, he really means that he wants to begin poisoning the country’s food supply. Maybe it’s just me.

The National Archives is shutting down its Chicago, San Francisco & Seattle research facilities. The closures rip public records out of the hands of the people, burying our history behind bureaucracy and darkness. This is NOT how democracy works!
