This egg recall, and also Cucumbers. The American type, the ones with the heavily waxed skin. As of this writing, English and baby cucumbers (the ones grown hydroponically, English are encased in plastic) are still fine. www.cdc.gov/salmonella/o...

Fellow fatties: I got tired of DIYing it on summer chafing and got this stuff that was recommended by extreme sports people (you are not my people but I love and support you in your madness) and they were right, it’s GREAT. Lasted like 7 hours at the water park yesterday and not a rash in sight

Your annual reminder that the Tonys are spelled just like that: the Tonys. No apostrophe. Just the Tonys. (The Tonys won by Tony Kushner are Tony's Tonys. The Tonys won by Tony Kushner and Tony Shalhoub are Tonys' Tonys.)

Two babies have died from whooping cough in Kentucky. Neither they nor their parents had been vaccinated. The current whooping cough outbreak in the U.S. hasn’t grabbed the media spotlight as much as measles has, but it’s important to update your vaccination if you’re going to be around babies.

Big day for silly things! S Minneapolis has the pencil sharpening event and up in Duluth is the Banana Run. Every entrant gets a banana costume and someone in a gorilla costume gives them a 2 minute head start and then chases them. Good stuff.

When we spoke the old punk told me he was just coming in from planting flowers, and when I said that I didn’t realize he planted flowers, the old punk told me: that if you want bread and roses you have to learn how to bake and how to garden.

Oh boy. This is an art form killer. Drafting a pattern is a huge learning curve. And with AI bullshit, sewing will become less and less accessible to new learners. I absolutely hate this.
