What we know so far is that the recalled iceberg lettuce was sent to Walmart stores and many major foodservice distributors, including Sysco, in 27 states between June 29 and July 16.

The only product names we know are from Walmart: Marketside Bagged Iceberg Salad and Bagged Shredded Iceberg Salad
The recalled iceberg lettuce products were sent to Walmart stores and major foodservice distributors, including Sysco, in 27 states between June 29 and July 16. The states that received the implicated lettuce, which the Food and Drug Administration said was being recalled due to possible contamination with the parasite cyclospora, include: Alabama, Arkansas, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Maryland, Michigan, Missouri, Mississippi, North Carolina, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, and Wisconsin. The list of implicated products includes Walmart’s house-brand Marketside, a Walmart spokesperson confirmed. The company has removed four bagged iceberg lettuce salad products from select Walmart stores in the 27 states implicated by the recall, spokesperson Rachael Simmons told CR. The removed products include 12- and 24-ounce bags of Marketside Bagged Iceberg Salad (UPC: 681131328944 and 681131328951, respectively) and 8- and 16-ounce bags of Marketside Bagged Shredded Iceberg Salad (UPC: 681131328968 and 681131532099). The products have “best by” dates ranging from July 18 to Aug. 3, 2026 Walmart’s Simmons said that “there have been no confirmed illnesses associated with these products at this time,” and that Walmart removed the products from its stores in the states listed “out of an abundance of caution” after receiving notice from its supplier. “Customers who purchased these products should not consume them and should discard them or return them to their local Walmart store for a full refund,” said Simmons.

Chris’ 1-step, surefire path to improved mental health & political influence:

Take the time & attention you put into thinking about Donald Trump, put 40% of it into state politics, 40% into local politics & 20% on gardening, organizing your record collection, reality TV, or any damn thing you want

From Black Mountain to the World Stage

The convergence of Rauschenberg, Cage, and Cunningham at Black Mountain College proved transformative for global art. Their collaborative, boundary-crossing approach—merging visual art, music, and dance—laid the foundation for a cultural sea change.
Black Mountain College
The setting for Black Mountain College was idyllic, on 600 acres of meadow surrounded by the Blue Ridge Mountains.

Pope Leo turned the question around like the boss he is.
Screenshot of a tweet by perrito barista (@Carlitospindola), translated from Spanish, quoting Pope Leo responding to a question about migration by reframing it: "What is the global North doing to help the global South in its situation that forces them to migrate?" The embedded video shows the Pope holding a microphone aboard what appears to be a plane, with clergy visible behind him.

Forgive the Revolutionary War symbolism.

Today, NJ & VA were at a pivotal moment — just like during 2 defining periods of the Revolution. This time, two strong women stood against the pull of authoritarianism.

NJ & VA became beacons of victory & democratic strength for a nation needing it.

The Hate America Rally already happened, Mike Johnson. It was held on January 6, 2021, and was orchestrated by your boss.

On October 18, patriots across America will honor our commitment to keep America from becoming the dystopic jackboot dictatorship you fascist bootlickers dream of and drool for.
