We created a new tool that uses prescription label information to identify where your drug was made.
It also lets you see if and when that factory was inspected for quality and safety violations.

Where Was My Generic Prescription Drug Made? - Rx Inspector - ProPublica
The FDA won’t tell Americans where their generic drugs are made, so ProPublica did it instead. Use information on your prescription label to locate the factory and see inspection reports.

It all started in 1955 with a misprint in a Colorado newspaper and a call to Col. Harry Shoup's secret military hotline. Shoup played along with the tiny voice who called, and a tradition was born. From the NPR archives.

If you’re turned away at the polls (in Virginia or anywhere in the U.S.), here’s what to do:
- Request a written explanation: If poll workers deny your regular ballot, ask them to put in writing why they refused it.

Long ago when I was a young, almost-syndicated cartoonist, I had the pleasure of sitting next to June Lockhart at a dinner in SF and she told me a funny story that I used in one of my early strips. RIP

The part of Orwell's 1984 that everyone forgets is how human music has been replaced by soulless, machine-generated pop songs. The AI attempt to take over the film and music industries is an attack on the human spirit. Boycott AI actors. Boycott AI bands. Support human artists.

It's so important to support your local theatre, café, bookstore, bakery, and library. They are little corners of magic in a world full of chaos. Without them, a town loses a piece of its soul. Keeping them around not only saves them, but in many ways, also saves us.

Make sure your pets have their id collars on too. Even if you think there is no way they can get loose their terror can give them strength and speed.

Let people read what they like in peace. I don't care for horror/very dark themes myself because I end up dreaming about them, which ends up feeling like I'm living them. To each their own, though.
As someone who mostly reads horror, I'll never understand the vitriol towards "cozy" books. People say they are escapist, unserious, allowing readers to avoid big issues. And I'm like, girl, WHEN did your dark romance book fix society? Did I BLINK and miss your detective thriller solving crime?
