Breaking: Antibiotic licence for salmon farming revoked over 'unacceptable risk' The use of florfenicol in Tasmania's salmon industry has been banned as the country's veterinary medicine regulator suspends an emergency licence for the antibiotic.

Good. No concern was given for the impact on other marine species nor for human health. #politas

β€œCanada supporting our allies with military force” when the allies are doing war crimes is still… war crimes

On NJ Transit on the way home and the train just died.

Just another day/reminder of how β€œthe richest and most powerful nation in the world” cannot do mass transit.

We can afford a war and build concentration camps, but not mass transit.

I had to take a break from social media and the news, because it is all so overwhelming and sad. Remember it is okay if you need to do so too. It is more important now than ever to protect your mental health. For me it is a necessity so I can be of service to others.

So I guess it was either World War III or drag queens reading books to our children.

Sauron has announced that Saruman will be moved to the newly created Committee for Everlasting Peace on Middle Earth.

The Witch King will be taking over Saruman’s duties as head of the Department of Orcs.

Both have been thanked for their service.

The interesting thing about the election in Arkansas is that several people that Sarah Huckabee Sanders supported got totally spanked. She should be worried about her own political neck.

Diesel at my local station is now over $4.40 a gallon. I was paying $3.75 two days ago. My truck is thirst. I guess I will be going nowhere fast this year.

I'm hoping that if enough of us vote early then the GOP won't be able to take away any form of early voting.

I don't know who needs to know this... but...

A VPN is not a privacy application. It doesn't hide your location data, specifically. It doesn't encrypt your data, specifically. All it does is route your traffic through a single server somewhere else.

Let me explain. Or don't, this is the internet.

The biggest winner Tuesday night was voter turnout.

Even if your candidate didn’t win, Texans should be proud of this. Voters showed up in huge numbers.

I think maybe we just need a near-total ban on "will you rule out?" questions for politicians.

The number of things anyone can honestly, but categorically, rule out is very limited.

Like do I think I'll ever go to the moon? No.

But can I rule it out?

As someone who makes maple syrup each year, that is pretty funny. We always think of the native peoples when we tap, knowing they were first.

To Gen Z from an elder millennial:

Do not let these filthy politicians convince you there is honour in fighting their Holy Resource Wars. It is bonkers. Stay in school, get an education, help us create a world without war.

Tucson Council approves measure to bar ICE from using city property The Tucson City Council unanimously passed an ordinance on Tuesday barring U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement from staging or carrying out civil immigration enforcement on city-owned property.

Sometimes I really appreciate the Old Pueblo.

Tucson City Council voted 6-0 that ICE can’t use city property for their kidnappings or staging in preparation for kidnappings.

β€œOh, you live in a city, too? Yeah, you’re really not an American.”

Democrats don’t get to do this. Non-Christians don’t get to do this. If they even tried, which they don’t, we’d immediately put an end to it. We don’t need to tolerate it from Republican Christian extremists.

Everybody’s got their reasons for despising Markwayne Mullin and mine is him screaming at the dignified and brilliant former CDC Director Susan Monarez at a hearing.

He lied about a nonexistent recording and tried to bully her into submission.

She was a locus of zen. He lost his damned mind.

Calling it now: at least 20 Democrats who are currently voting not to fund DHS will vote for the new person appointed to run it, and absolutely nobody will question this
