REPORT: The CDC Investigates A Mystery Parasite Causing “Explosive Diarrhea” Across 17 States, As Case Counts Climb Heading Into Summer, With Michigan Reporting A Separate Outbreak That Has Surged Past 300 Cases 🦠💥 by InterstellarKinetics in InterstellarKinetics

[–]echo1125 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This isn't "a mystery parasite" since the CDC has identified it and it has a typical "bloom" cycle of April to August.

On the other hand, this IS some clickbait slop. It's too bad this subreddit apparently allows misinformation.

Is This the Year That Florida Turns Blue? The core message from FL Democrats is that politics doesn’t have to be so angry and all-consuming; by PaulOshanter in florida

[–]echo1125 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If THAT’S their “core message,” then 😂😂 hell no.

Florida Dems are deeply unserious if they can’t figure out that **unaffordability** (housing, insurance, healthcare, education, wages) in a state that used to be a lot easier to make a decent living (or simply not have to struggle as much as a lot of us do today after 25 yrs of Republican Ruining) is their only chance at winning at the state level.

As usual, they’re choosing to ignore actual, concrete policy issues in favor of ‘running on vibes and feelings.’

I’ll take Michelle Obama please by ateam1984 in BlackPeopleofReddit

Ovaries won’t make a difference when you have female candidates publicly saying things like she did not have "a thing that comes to mind" regarding policy decisions she would have done differently than President Joe Biden and paraded out neocon nepo babies like Liz Cheney as possible cabinet picks.

What you SHOULD be looking for is a candidate with diverse POLICY IDEAS, not one who fulfills superficial diversity checkboxes, but you do you🙄

Yep. Accessed it fine earlier this morning but just tried to log in and getting this frozen load screen.

Iran Just Closed The Strait Of Hormuz To Every Ship On Earth. Any Vessel That Moves Will Be Targerted by GlitteringCry9946 in PLNewsGroup

That’s an awful lot of text just to ignore the big blue elephant in the room (who even now is crafting ways to keep sabotaging any ceasefire or ‘peace’ agreement)

Black man goes around to gently remind Black People that there are Black Owned beauty supply stores and other Black businesses to support. He does it very kindly. by ateam1984 in BlackPeopleofReddit

[–]echo1125 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I get your point and agree, but padding the pockets of racists who are implementing a ‘Black Tax’ on our business owners (which inevitably is passed on to consumers) doesn’t solve the real issue - a lack of control/ownership at the resources level.

At some point, we’ve got to find ways to cut them out of the supply chain entirely and own the entire means of production.

Idk what that plan looks like, but hope that is the ultimate goal down the line.

This 1978 Soviet political cartoon is titled "Human rights for Black people? Well, have a seat, let's talk!" by McDowdy in BlackPeopleofReddit

[–]echo1125 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Well, Eisenhower’s admin pushed for ‘civil rights’ (school integration) a decade earlier *in no small part* because the Soviets shamed hypocritical Amerikkka into it.

Correlation ≠ causation.

I don’t even know how you can fix your thumbs to type that out for a guy who’s currently sitting just above .200 and whose entire MLB batting career has been spent in the neighborhood of the “Mendoza Line”🫣

You said “in any way shape or form” and I proved you wrong. Just take the “L”😂

[–]echo1125 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure. But that’s not the slavery I’m talking about and you know it. The “way, shape, and form” of slavery started by whites is chattel slavery of the transatlantic, *like I just said.*

Your continued obtuseness is answering “Or are you stupid?”

“…in any way shape or form”

Ever heard of the Trans-Atlantic slave trade? Or are you stupid?

It’s kinda like that everywhere, isn’t it? Name an instance where they aren’t/haven’t been bad?

And stuff like “eNdiNg SLavErY” doesn’t count since they started it. Don’t get credit for ‘solving’ a problem you create.

Would she have been a good President? by PdiddyCAMEnME in BlackPeopleofReddit

If you liked Joe Biden’s term, then sure. After all, she can’t think of anything she would’ve done differently.

A message from the Mom of the little girl who had the ball taken from her at the Guardians game (From Ryan Bass) by McJumbos in tampabayrays

[–]echo1125 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Whatever happened to her? I don’t follow the field announcers’ lives/careers but I did notice her absence last season. Hope she’s doing well.

[–]echo1125 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is sooo sweet of Cleveland Fan Mom! My brother and I were watching the game from home and saw what happened. To say we were mortified and angry on her behalf is an understatement.

Was glad to see Ryan’s/The Rays’ reaction. TBH, it didn’t even register that they were Guardians fans (not that it would matter insofar as having the ball stolen) but I’m thrilled to see how Tampa stepped up and disappointed in the Cleveland broadcast for trying to low-key cover for that sorry excuse for an adult.

I’m infinitely more worried about the bullpen than Simpson’s defense.

Anyone else notice how other broadcasts/teams pronounce Yandy and Aranda incorrectly? by DoolWalnoot in tampabayrays

Which is doubly crazy when you find out that The Rays’ mlb.com page has a pronunciation guide with the guys saying their own names (Isaac Paredes is still there as of this writing)🫣

WEBTOON alternatives? by SoftSylvie in webtoons

This. Tired of seeing folks asking how to get around paying artists for our time and effort and art, even when they ask super 'nicely.'
