Daily fucking reminder that Luigi Mangione is innocent, completely and fully. He has been convicted of no crime. He has had no fair trial. He is a SUSPECT. Luigi Mangione is entirely innocent and everyone needs to stop parroting this insidious propaganda that he “committed” the crime he is only SUSPECTED of. He is not a murderer. He is not a criminal. He is an innocent man.

Tri-Union Seafoods Issues Recall of Select Genova®, Van Camp’s®, H-E-B and Trader Joe’s® Tuna Cans Due to Clostridium Botulinum Risk

Tri-Union Seafoods has made the decision to voluntarily recall select lots of canned tuna products sold under the Genova®, Van Camp’s®, H-E-

EL SEGUNDO, CA, February 7, 2025 – Tri-Union Seafoods has made the decision to voluntarily recall select lots of canned tuna products sold under the Genova®, Van Camp’s®, H-E-B and Trader Joe’s brand names. This voluntary recall is out of an abundance of caution following the notification from our supplier that the “easy open” pull tab can lid on limited products encountered a manufacturing defect that may compromise the integrity of the product seal (especially over time), causing it to leak, or worse, be contaminated with clostridium botulinum, a potentially fatal form of food poisoning. Consumers are warned not to use the product even if it does not look or smell spoiled. Consumers feeling unwell should seek immediate medical attention. No illnesses associated with the recalled products have been reported and the recall is being conducted to ensure consumer safety. The impacted products were distributed to retail stores as follows: H-E-B label - Texas Trader Joe’s label – Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Washington D.C., and Wisconsin Genova 7 oz. - Costco in Florida and Georgia Genova 5 oz. - Harris Teeter, Publix, H-E-B, Kroger, Safeway, Walmart, and independent retailers in Alabama, Arkansas, Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, New Jersey, Tennessee, and Texas Van Camp’s label – Walmart and independent retailers in Pennsylvania, Florida and New Jersey

some emphasis mine. this is not a comprehensive list of retailers. these cans were sold in more stores than what is listed, and there is no complete list of affected stores. long story short the pull tab has a defect that makes these cans the perfect environment to give you botulism. and botulism is REALLY REALLY FUCKING bad. it is one of the deadliest forms of food poisoning and commonly grows in dented or damaged cans. unfortunately, the recall announcement does not currently include images.

tumblr does not let me make tables, so I cannot easily format all the necessary information in a way that I am confident will be easy to read and understand. so here is the list of names, and check the FDA link for the specifics of what can codes and best by dates are affected.

Genova Solid White Tuna in Olive Oil 5.0 oz

if you recognize these types of tuna or buy tuna from those stores, stop reading here and click the FDA link at the top for more information. not all cans in these lines are being recalled, but the affected cans have best by dates into 2028.

from the wikipedia entry about botulism:

The disease begins with weakness, blurred vision, feeling tired, and trouble speaking. This may then be followed by weakness of the arms, chest muscles, and legs. Vomiting, swelling of the abdomen, and diarrhea may also occur. The disease does not usually affect consciousness or cause a fever.

...and these vague symptoms, which may not even all appear in someone with botulism, eventually lead to muscle weakness and paralysis to the point someone is unable to call for help, and might eventually stop being able to breathe. while fully conscious.

from the foodsafetynews article on this recall:

In foodborne botulism, symptoms generally begin 18 to 36 hours after eating contaminated food. However, symptoms can begin as soon as 6 hours after or up to 10 days later.

according to the wikipedia article, 5%-10% of people who get botulism will die with timely medical intervention. without medical intervention, botulism kills 50% of the people it sickens. this is emergency room ASAP level stuff.

please send the FDA link to anyone you know who eats canned tuna in the US. although no illnesses have been attributed to this defect yet, it may only be a matter of time as the seals on these cans degrade. please do not become the first.

i'm not allowed to say anything tomorrow because i'm an elections worker, but please get out and vote tomorrow! don't let poilievre win ESPECIALLY if you live in his riding (carleton- in ontario i believe)!! it would truly be so fucking funny if bro lost in his own riding. and if you live in a riding where an ndp candidate has a decent chance of winning, consider voting for them! we need more truly progressive voices in government, especially as the liberals continue to shift to the right of center!

Theeere's the ubiquitous man!

i cannot keep quiet about this anymore.

if you're in the US or Canada and interested in learning a language using a free app please get a library card and download MANGO. it's very good and extremely free with a library card (there are many public libraries and universities using the service, so make an account and use the search feature here to find out if there's one near you).

mango currently has 72 available languages and dialects (that's right! different courses for french or canadian french! spanish or latam spanish!). it's set up basically like an audiobook with text. the idea is that the narrator explains the words while you read, and you repeat after them or say the translation out loud when prompted. there's a daily review where you go through flashcards. you can also use the flashcards at your leisure and create your own. at the end of each chapter there's a listening comprehension quiz and a reading comprehension quiz. i cannot emphasize how effective this all is. and it's free with a card.

if you're not in the US or Canada and/or looking for something more like duolingo (don't use duolingo btw tldr they fired translators and replaced them with "ai"), then try BUSUU! it only has 14 languages atm but the lessons are really descriptive and effective. it also has a feature where you can correct other people's open-ended speaking/typing exercises. you set your fluent languages, and exercises by people learning those languages will appear in your feed for you to correct. you can even add others as friends! and, much like duolingo, it has a streak and leaderboard system for you to strive for, minus the guilt-tripping owl.

busuu is free (you watch ads to unlock lessons and they're all skippable after like five seconds), although it also has paid premium/plus versions (i don't use the paid version—the language courses are available for free, and the ad system is Really unobtrusive).

so that's my wisdom for the day. mango and busuu. please check them out :)
