    The New York Times did not libel former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin in a 2017 editorial that contained an error she claimed had damaged her reputation, a jury concluded Tuesday. A retrial of Sarah Palin's case against 'New York Times' begins Monday The jury deliberated a little over two hours before reaching its verdict. A judge and a different jury had reached the same conclusion about Palin's defamation claims in 2022, but her lawsuit was revived by an appeals court. https://www.npr.org/2025/04/22/g-s1-62157/new-york-times-alaska-governor-sarah-palin-libel

    @jon-nyc said in RFK Jr is banning food dyes: Ban food dyes but pathogens are ok. https://x.com/moreperfectus/status/1914690295255417204?s=46 The Reuters article actually has a little bit more information… the laboratory was already set to be decommissioned before the staff cuts and though proficiency testing would be paused during the transition to a new laboratory, dairy product testing will continue. and The FDA's proficiency testing programs ensure consistency and accuracy across the nation's network of food safety laboratories. Laboratories also rely on those quality control tests to meet standards for accreditation. So in other words. The milk is still being safety tested for pathogens, and the regulatory lab that acts as an oversight committee and makes sure the other labs processes are consistent is shutting down while moving to a new location. It’s hardly the scenario being painted by the Twitter feed and the replies

    @jon-nyc Agree. I dont know if you have seen/heard of his show "Curb Your Enthusiasm". I think it is quite funny. I have watched a lot of episodes on airplanes and have to stop from laughing out loud when I watch. LOL

    I’ve only done 2. Toured Mexico City and stood among redwoods. But then my vacations typically aren’t very outdoorsy unless beaches count. I regularly bike parts of the Empire trail, but have probably only covered 50-60m of it in total. And not hiking.

    @Klaus There is no real mentioning. But they do require an adress where you're staying your first night. Maybe that was unclear? BTW, my experience with US customs and immigration never was agreeable...
