We gotta stop aiming for unique and interesting baby names we gotta start naming every single infant straight-shot middle-of-the-road ass popular common unisex names like Alex and Sam. By the end of 2031 I wanna see 100% of kindergarten children named either Alex or Sam and you know what, let’s make ‘em all Smiths and Johnsons, too. In an age of digital tracking give your baby the gift of total functional anonymity within the panopticon
If Elon Musk owned Tumblr he would nuke your blog for this.

Tony’s Chocolonely Inc., a New York, New York Corporation, is voluntarily recalling seven lots of Tony’s brand Dark Almond Sea Salt Bar (6.35oz); and Everything Bar (6.35oz) because the product may contain small stones.
The products were distributed nationwide and sold in the United States via retail stores and www.tonyschocolonely.com; distribution of the products began February 7, 2025 and ended March 24, 2025.
emphasis mine.
this recall only affects some lots of the dark almond sea salt bar and the everything bar, due to the rock problem. they were distributed nationwide in stores and on the internet. I included their pictures at the top.
I am not able to format a table for tumblr, so check that recall link for the specific lot codes and expiration dates.
The recall was initiated following 12 reports of consumers finding small stones in the product not filtered during third-party almond harvesting and the almond processing process. All complaints occurred outside of the United States and Canada, and no injuries were reported.
they found rocks after there were 12 reports that said hey. there are rocks in this. this can easily lead to dental problems if someone tries to bite full force on a rock and breaks a tooth or otherwise injures their mouth. dental infections can eventually become life-threatening even in people who are young and otherwise healthy. so it is a good thing nobody apparently ate the rocks yet. or at least, nobody got injured while potentially eating rocks. yet
If you have purchased one of the affected products with the specified lot codes and have not yet consumed it, you are advised not to eat the product. Please return the product to the store of purchase for a refund or replacement or dispose of the product. Please consult the following webpage to confirm how to identify the lot code and claim a refund or replacement in your market: https://us.tonyschocolonely.com/pages/recall-fo-intl-0325
Trump is all like “Australians sell their beef to us, but they won’t buy any of ours 😡”
Which…. yeah? Of course???? Why would we import external beef from so far away when we produce more than enough to meet our own needs??
Not to mention that USA still has both mad cow disease and foot and mouth disease, but Australia doesn’t – AND America has increasingly lax commercial-level health and safety standards, meaning the risk of pathogens like MCD/F&M spreading through the US are significantly increased, and we don’t have either here in Australia, so of course we don’t want to import beef from a country that could conceivably spread the diseases to us???
But even aside from that. There are not that many Australians. But there are a lot of Americans. AND Australians eat an average of 23.4 kilos of beef per year but we produce 2.2 million tonnes. We produce WAY more beef than our population eats. So of course we don’t import much????? And of COURSE it’s not from America, which is both significantly further away than our current importers (primarily New Zealand and Japan), AND which has significantly lower health and safety regulations than we do????
Meanwhile, Americans average aprox 37 kilos of beef per person per year, but produces around 12.4 million tonnes. USAs population is 12 times larger than ours but only produces 5 times more beef than we do, AND consumes more per capita than we do. Of course USA imports large quantities of beef. Because their domestic production doesn’t meet their domestic demand. Meanwhile Australia’s production vastly outweighs our domestic demand, so of course we don’t import American beef?????
Thats…… that’s how imports and exports are supposed to work???? You export excess of what you have to someone who has less of it, and in turn, they export to you the produce/products that YOU don’t have. This is fucking basic??????????
“Waahhh, Australia won’t import American beef 😭😡” yeah???? Of course we don’t????????
PLUS!!!!! Overall, Australia imports 34 billion dollars worth of stuff from America per year. Meanwhile America only imports $16 billion from us.
Putting tariffs on a country that imports more from you than they export to you is uhhhhhhhhh, FUCKIN’ STUPID. If america tariff everything we send to them it’s on all of $16b worth of stuff. If we tariff everything of theirs then we’ll be slapping taxes on more than double what they can tax us.
Trump is such a fucking moron.
Does this man not understand that the point of trade is to swap what you have an excess of for what you don’t have enough of
Why would we export masses and masses of beef only to import large amounts of inferior quality beef from the same people we just sold beef to
Does he think the USA is exporting large quantities of oil to Saudi Arabia?
why aren’t Australians clamouring to receive such exotic US beef flavours as
Remember, when minimum wage laws were enacted in the USA:
A single full-time minimum wage job was intended to allow one man to completely support himself, his stay-at-home wife, AND his 2+ non-working children.
Trump is going to lift those tariffs btw. Like we’re gonna feel it and it’ll suck, and then he will lift them, and things will improve, and people won’t realize that things were still better before he put them in place at all, and he will claim credit for making everything better even though things are still worse than when he started. Because of him. Because he made them worse.
So you gotta pinky promise me you’re not gonna let yourself or anyone you know fall for that shit.
