The editors of the CDC’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) were apparently fired today.

The precursor to MMWR began in 1878 to address emerging public health threats rapidly.

We are not “great” without it. We are vulnerable to threats from sporadic foodborne illness to bioterrorism.

I've done my time volunteering in GHF beer booths during Dickens. I repurposed my Laura Ashely going-away dress from my first wedding into a lovely costume complete with a bonnet decorated with silk flowers.

Fajitas were invented in Houston, Texas by Ninfa Laurenzo. She was a Republican. Why are they all so damn dumb?

going by the decor, is this not TGI Fridays?

Someone on Twitter posted a photo of themselves doing a happy dance as they receive a hot plate of fajitas. Then "Raw Egg Nationalist" on Twitter retweets them, writing: It's incredible that these people exist, but they really do. These are the people who justify the demographic replacement of Western countries in terms of the variety of street food and how many different kinds of fried-meat-and-vegetables in flatbread they can buy.
