Two weeks ago I found a piece of grass with a dead ant clamped to the top of it and was like wait... no way... so kept it, and now it's sprouting! Everyone say hi to the mind controlling fungus cordyceps! I feel strangely compelled to share it widely!

i assumed the 'what sin do you relish most' image set was just your typical dadaist "its funny when a long diatribe about something stupid/broadly-disagreed-with is imposed on an image set of unrelated characters" type of joke image but op of that post IS an actual tradcath and DID post it unironically. which im not sure if it makes the whole situation funnier, stupider, worse, or all 3

Since the actual CDC is being blocked from posting updates on outbreaks, I will do it myself.
As of June 19, 2025, a total of 1,214 confirmed* measles cases were reported by 36 jurisdictions: Alaska, Arkansas, Arizona, California, Colorado, District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York City, New York State, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Vermont, Virginia, and Washington.
There have been 23 outbreaks** reported in 2025, and 89% of confirmed cases (1,081 of 1,214) are outbreak-associated. For comparison, 16 outbreaks were reported during 2024 and 69% of cases (198 of 285) were outbreak-associated.
*CDC is aware of probable measles cases being reported by jurisdictions. However, the data on this page only includes confirmed cases.
**CDC reports the cumulative number of measles outbreaks (defined as 3 or more related cases) that have occurred this year in the U.S.; states have the most up-to-date information about cases and outbreaks in their jurisdictions.
Please check your local health department to check on the risk in your area and follow their recommendations to avoid infection. Most cases are in the unvaccinated population, so if you are able to get the MMR vaccine and haven’t already, please reach out to your doctor to get that done

I started dating a slime girl made of cornstarch and water.
She’s such an adorable little masochist. She gets hard whenever I hit her.

I am needlessly riled by all the posts and humans' inherent goodness.
Humans are *neutral*, man. That's why improving society really needs to look like making doing the right thing the path of least resistance.
A majority of people sit right around the tall bit of some sort of bell curve with "does selfish shit that could hurt others by default, is generous under the right circumstance" is one side of the peak and "is generous by default, will do selfish shit that could hurt others under the right circumstances" on the other.
You can observe it any day by observing people under stress (eg: bad traffic, busy supermarket, an unexpectedly un/pleasant interaction with a stranger who is very different to you) - and in yourself in circumstances you find particularly stressful.
