Latest update from USA Today from 4 days ago. Here is also CDC' s update on the confirmed cases as of July 13th, 2026: https://www.cdc.gov/cyclosporiasis/php/surveillance/index.html

My question to others on here: For those who are located in the marked states with the higher cases, have you heard anything or seen any postage in grocery stores, hospitals, restaurants, anything about warning on increasing hygiene practices for prevention of Cyclosporiasis? I've not heard anything since first reading about this, I have family who work in the trucking industry, hospitals, and sales ( to name a few), and I have heard zero heads up or warnings about this.

Cases are increasing but there is lag between lab recorded data and data collected from the hospitals. Here is USA today with CDCs data as of July 13th 2026.

Restaurants and fast food chains have taken precautions: good on them, they need to, but there is no word of mouth on anything. Will still keep following up on the news of this.

Agents killed Johan Sebastián Durán Guerrero in Maine and Lorenzo Salgado Araujo in Texas, even though both were not targets of enforcement action US officials are facing mounting calls to remove US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) from American streets after federal agents killed two men who were not the target of enforcement action in less than a week. Advocacy groups, including the National Police Accountability Project and the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights, described the fatal shootings...

The Protecting Retirement Opportunities and Maintaining Income Security for Everyone, or PROMISE Act, comes on the heels of the latest Social Security Board of Trustees’ annual report, which found that Social Security’s retirement trust fund is projected to face a funding shortfall in 2032, a year earlier than last year’s projections.

Even with it being clear for years that Social Security was running out of money, Congress has been loath to act. Making changes to the program — and potentially cutting benefits — has long been politically unpopular, and lawmakers have repeatedly kicked Social Security and Medicare’s troubling math to the next generation.

It’s not a bill with any real proposals or solutions. It’s just a bill saying Congress should establish an “independent, bipartisan advisory committee” that would make recommendations to Congress to look into utterly predictable social security shortfalls, which will go the way it always goes (most recently, back in 2024), where Democrats suggest raising the payroll tax cap, Republicans suggest raising the retirement age, lobbyists ruin everything, and social security still faces budget shortfalls in 6 years.

New York became the first US state to enact a moratorium on new datacenters on Tuesday.

Governor Kathy Hochul issued an executive order mandating a one-year statewide pause on the large facilities used to power artificial intelligence products, which she signed at a mid-morning press conference.

“As datacenter development threatens to hike up utility bills, deplete our natural resources, and create uncertainty for New Yorkers, it’s my responsibility to take action and lead,” Hochul, a Democrat, said in a statement.

The order will pause the state permitting process for proposed “hyperscale” datacenters, defined as having electrical capacity of more than 50 megawatts, and direct state regulators to create standards focused on environmental impacts, energy demand, water usage and other factors, the governor’s office said.

Hello, I have recently opened my long-term project for testing: GGDB (Good Gamer's Database).

GGDB is a game database and discovery platform where players can import their gaming history from Steam, PlayStation, and other platforms, or manually add the games they have played.

The platform includes: 🎮 Gaming DNA analysis 🎯 Personalized game recommendation system ⭐ 6-layer game rating system (Gameplay, Story, Music, Visuals, Replayability, Bugs) 💬 Reviews and community interactions 🖼️ Game galleries and detailed metadata 👨‍💻 Cast & Crew system showcasing the credits and portfolios of professionals who worked on games

Based on the games users add and the ratings they provide, GGDB analyzes gaming preferences, builds a Gaming DNA profile, and generates personalized game recommendations.

The platform is currently in its testing phase and continues to evolve through user feedback. I would greatly appreciate it if you could take a look and share your thoughts.

https://www.ggdb.pro/

Thank you in advance.
