I am begging the FDA to require that companies CANNOT just put "spices" as an ingredient but have to label the spices.

"Spices" can mean "this has some oregano and black pepper in it" or it can mean "this has cumin cayenne and paprika and if you eat this you will be sick in bed in pain for a week" for me.

Seriously, this is an allergy issue and a huge oversight on the part of corporations.

Require detailed labeling of spices used in packaged foods NOW.

If Sherlock Holmes was Isekai'd to a fantasy world he would just deduce the rules of this world and get back to solving crimes. He'll find an elf girl sidekick,name her Watson, and pretend like nothing happened.

This is one of my favorite moments from any Star Trek convention panel. Brent Spiner and LeVar Burton absolutely dying at the thought of Patrick Stewart hosting an Easter egg hunt for them. (Video source)

Say what you will about magical shapeshifters being a lazy plot device, but I Have literally never seen an actor doing the “me pretending to be this other person pretending to be me” bit who wasn’t clearly having a great time.

hey so it’s march now aka the beginning of endometriosis awareness month and i feel obligated to remind you that debilitatingly painful periods are not normal. if you or someone you know is ending up sick or bedridden every month, you are not crazy and deserve medical attention from someone who will take you seriously

DOGE just froze funding to vital Federal and Indigenous conservation programs devoted to supporting the very delicate and tenuous existence of the black-footed ferret.

I fell in love with these animals as a kid traveling to our National Parks. Their rarity and ferocity made me sharply aware, even as a child, of just how much of a responsibility we have toward our environment. I can't bear the thought of them being a fucking casualty of Trump and Musk.

Look at them! They do war dances.

Bro, this was on the bottom of the back of a 40 pound TV with another 40 pounds of hifi equipment stacked on top, underneath a tangle of dusty takeout menus and nigh-identical cables one of whose ends is probably plugged into something. You did it by feel, leaning over the whole pile while trying to put so much weight that the card table collapses on your foot again.

Only a little over 7k comments so far. Let's try and flood this too!!

We have 30 days until the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) laws are rescinded. This is the 50-year bedrock of American conservation. Normally, these actions take years but the administration has provided 30 days for public comment gutting clean water and clean air. Drop what you’re doing, before you make any more calls or read any more social media posts, please populate the Federal Register with dissent.

In an attempt to show what a stupid cunt he his, JD Vance has decided to take a swing at Scotland over anti-abortion buffer zones - saying that we have criminalised private prayer in the home and that the government encouraged us to report on our neighbours.

For Americans who are hearing about this law for the first time through the shit-stained filter of your witless vice president. Anti-abortion buffer zones are designed to prevent anti-choice protesters from harassing people accessing abortion services outside family planning clinics. The zone is a 200 metre boundary from the clinics.

Home owners within those 200m zones were, rightfully, advised by the government how the law would impact them. They can privately pray as much as they like, but they can’t be seen to publicly harass or intimidate anyone accessing healthcare under the guise it’s from their own house.

The only critics of this law that I’ve seen are from people who want to dictate what people do with their bodies. JD Vance has previously argued for a nationwide ban on abortion in the US, he can ruin his country all he likes (and I hope Americans oppose their government with everything they have) but he can fuck right off sticking his neck in here. Piss off, cunt.

"The shift from the Afro-Caribbean zombie to the U.S. zombie is clear: in Caribbean folklore, people are scared of becoming zombies, whereas in U.S. narratives people are scared of zombies. This shift is significant because it maps the movement from the zombie as victim (Caribbean) to the zombie as an aggressive and terrifying monster who consumes human flesh (U.S.). In Haitian folklore, for instance, zombies do not physically threaten people; rather, the threat comes from the voduon practice whereby the sorcerer (master) subjugates the individual by robbing the victim of free will, language and cognition. The zombie is enslaved."
