Testing conducted by the Food and Drug Administration on pasteurized commercially purchased milk has found genetic evidence of the H5N1 bird flu virus, the agency confirmed Tuesday. But the testing, done by polymerase chain reaction, or PCR, cannot distinguish between live virus or fragments of viruses that could have been killed by the pasteurization process.

The agency said it has been trying to see if it could grow virus from milk found to contain evidence of H5N1, which is the gold standard test to see if there is viable virus in a product. The lengthy statement the agency released does not explicitly say FDA laboratories were unable to find live virus in the milk samples, but it does state that its belief that commercial, pasteurized milk is safe to consume has not been altered by these findings.

“To date, we have seen nothing that would change our assessment that the commercial milk supply is safe,” the statement said.

The document was long on assurances but short on details of what has been undertaken or found. It does not specify how many commercial samples were taken or in how many markets, nor does it indicate what percentage of the samples were PCR-positive for H5N1. The statement did not indicate if the testing suggested the amounts of viral genetic material in the milk were low or high.

Furthermore, the statement did not reveal if the milk products were purchased in parts of the country where outbreaks have occurred, or in areas where cows haven’t been seen to have been infected.

I put this in the tags but I guess it is worth saying here as well: I am not trying to panic anyone, but this definitely seems like something you should know if you are in the US. The milk supply is not definitely unsafe, but they don't know it is safe yet either, so make your own choices based on that.

Unfollowing because [THING YOU NEVER DID]. Didn't you know it was bad because [VIRTUE SIGNALING] and that it means you support [MISUNDERSTOOD WORD]? I honestly can't believe you'd be such a [NOUN]. You need to stop being an irresponsible [QUEERPHOBIC SLUR] with your follower base. >:(

anyway i am off to isolate myself and play vidya games bc shark week has me incredibly fucked up and my irl circumstances are not helping.

i just wish i could stop being judged for reproductive issues like??? is it that hard to acknowledge that health issues are hereditary and none of my suffering is done by choice-

like. it's okay when you (nobody here) can't move due to period pain and bleed out a lot more than you healthily should, but when i do it i'm "choosing to be lazy" because?? i haven't had a child, i fucking guess. but then i suggest birth control and you (again; nobody here) look at me like i'm the fucking devil for suggesting the BARE MINIMUM for reproductive care bc your stupid idiot church brainrot has conditioned you to believe birth control is only used for sex and that it's "unwomanly" (not a fucking woman to begin with) to want to take care of your reproductive health and/or not have biological children (re: the time i jokingly brought up a total hysto and received the 'you're too young to decide that for yourself' talk... at 23; but i'm not too young at 18 to put myself into eternal debt or anything!!)

and lyri has now found herself allied with a cult (the order of revan)! that's cool JFKLAJFLSJDFLJ

she didn't lean into the ideology really and just kinda like. talked to them for the sake of learning what was what, and considering the sith have largely put a bad taste in her mouth (save for jadus and kavrix), she's just kinda like...

"yeah, whatver, i'll tell this guy his master is the leader that's cool ig"

it doesn't seem like that's a larger part of the story, but it's a cool little arc for her

the rating is in:

that one didn't make me want to gouge eyeballs and then kill myself, so i'd say it was actually the better movie of the two. that said, still gouging out snyder's eyeballs for every other plague he has brought onto this earth

For Sam, the one thing Third Echelon had always been about was the truth. Even after everything that happened, he'd held onto that. But now he was coming back as the hunter—as the enemy. As the one thing he'd never thought he'd be. And the truth? It was waiting for him.

Abolish the comic book industrial complex 🙂

that is fucked

brings this back so y'all know what i'm talking about-

made the mistake of watching rebel moon part one today (per request; my dad is on vacation and he had heard abt the movie. we ended up watching bad batch later as a palette cleanser jfksdaljdlsf). i want those hours back and i'd like snyder to personally pay for my therapy since:

there are several on-screen attempts at rape within the first 20 or 30 minutes of the movie

there are very obvious queerphobic undertones, including but not limited to the gay sexual predator alien and the parallels drawn between drag queens / potentially trans* individuals being in the saloon being shot directly before the scene of the big bad guy(tm) being sexed up by tentacles, going to show "he's not so different from the people he genocidess trust me!! he's a freak too"

the honest racism of every nonwhite character being background and/or a genre stereotype. the asian lead is from a cyberpunk-esque environment and wields dual swords? the black lead is a disgraced alcoholic and brute known for senselessly slaughtering people? oh, and the other one is almost the same but he's sober, i guess. the vaguely indigenous character is a white man's slave turned beastmaster? and there are no other notable bipoc characters either. literally every, if not almost ever, non-alien side character is white.

exploding everyone involved with my mind actually

AND THIS DOESN'T EVEN ACTUALLY COVER THE AWFUL CINEMATOGRAPHY, THE NAUSEATING EFFECTS, AND THE GENERAL LACKLUSTER GENRE-FUCK PLOT THAT IS JUST THROWING SHIT AT THE WALL TO SEE IF IT STICKS

sigh... being roped into watching rebel moon part 2 (of like, a proposed 6). can't wait to see the racism and queerphobia and exploitation/fetishization of attempted rape!
