🇺🇸tony's chocolonely chocolate bar recall due to rocks🇺🇸

literally, due to rocks. they got rocks in them

april 2, 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.

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

emphasis mine.

please do not the rocks. thank you

hi y’all i just wanted to put you onto this fundraiser for the buffalo nations grasslands alliance. they’re trying to recoup some of the funds for black-footed ferret conservation on tribal grounds that the trump/musk administration has frozen, which is impacting not only the conservation efforts themselves but the livelihoods of the people working on them. the frozen grant is 1.1 million but this fundraiser has a goal of 50,000.

the fundraiser has 24 days left and has only reached 2% of its goal with 11 donations. black-footed ferrets are an endangered lazarus taxon that was thought to be extinct from 1979-1981 before being rediscovered by accident. they’re a miracle of conservation and it would be horrible to lose them for good, not to mention (again) the impact of people working with these animals losing their jobs which is outlined in the fundraiser link. indigenous-led conservation efforts are extremely important for a wide variety of reasons and as someone in the zoology area i feel obligated to share this fundraiser to contribute to those efforts.

i know that things are hard right now and there’s a lot of people and organizations all across the world that need help, so don’t feel pressured BUT if you have extra money and you can contribute to this fundraiser or share it with people who can that would be great.

super cute black-footed ferrets ^

Boosting this here- black footed ferrets are perhaps a little more charismatic than we usually allow here, but they need all the help they can get!

There’s been some genuinely incredible work done in black footed ferret conservation, most notably this cloning project increase the genetic diversity of the remaining population. Op isn’t kidding — these guys are several conservation miracles in a trench coat.

That said, cloning a species back from the brink of extinction doesn’t do a lick of good if we can’t get them back into their natural habitats. It would be devastating to come so far, only to fail because of this bullshit.

@conservationbiologist @raccoonmilf @reasonsforhope would you consider sharing this with your followers?

My "Six weeks until we hear from our good friend Jonathan Harker" post went somewhat viral.

I've had several folks in my ask box and in replies inquire how they can be part of the "experience the novel DRACULA in real time" phenomenon this year.

So here's one of the replies I just sent.

Friend said he doesn't like saying he has a "backlog" of games and at the time I was like "lol yeah" but the more I think about it I'm like. Yeah I don't like that, what the scallop. I dont have a """backlog""" it's not my Job to go through this shit. It's a hobby for Funsies let's have funsies

Oof yeah we fell behind this fiscal quarter but if we put in the overtime we should be able to catch up on the Star Wars games and we'll be back on schedule to play Pirate Yakuza. Yes I know the shareholders won't be happy but it's our best way forward

Goddamn it Gerald, what do you MEAN you haven't begun work on Yakuza 0?? Delays because of Twin Peaks: The Return?? Well what the FUCK am I supposed to tell the Board? It's MY ASS on the line here. I covered for you once when you stopped Red Dead to watch all those Godzilla movies but NO MORE

"Rationalism" is up there with "Objectivism" in terms of "definitionally funny things to call your own belief system".

"Yeah man I've been doing some thinking and philosophy and I've come up with a framework called Being Right"

As an academic historian of philosophy, I want to register that there are some uses of those labels that are funny in the way described and other uses where it's not as silly as it sounds, as in "rationalism" vs. "empiricism," where what's at issue is whether the most fundamental, authoritative source of knowledge (in a given domain or in general) is pure reason (logic, deduction from first principles) or experience. There are also uses where "objective" doesn't mean "correct," it means "grounded in the object (as opposed to the subject)," and there's a legitimate question about whether things like moral norms and aesthetic judgments are ultimately based on and/or justified by features of external objects (objectivism) or of thinking, judging subjects (subjectivism).

THEY’RE ING THE CAT!!!!!
