    Meta and Salesforce are looking to re-hire some workers they just laid off. It's putting those people in an awkward spot.
    https://www.businessinsider.com/salesforce-meta-big-tech-companies-rehire-workers-employees-laid-off-2023-9
    It's not the call you'd expect to get: The company that laid you off wants you back. Do you go? It's a question that many of us might think we know the answer to: Hell, no! Yet, for some workers, the calculus is more complex.

    Plant Fungus Infected a Human in First Reported Case of Its Kind
    https://www.sciencealert.com/plant-fungus-infected-a-human-in-first-reported-case-of-its-kind
    The fact the patient in this case study appeared to have a fully functioning immune system, with no indication of being on immunosuppressant drugs, or having HIV, diabetes, or any kind of chronic illness, makes it even more perplexing. If not a touch concerning.

    When he learned his doctor's office didn't carry the vaccine, he contacted his insurer, Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, to ask about options. The insurer told him he'd only be covered if he got a shot from his "health provider" or the doctor, who had already told him his office didn't have the updated shot.

    Worm that jumps from rats to slugs to human brains has invaded Southeast US
    https://arstechnica.com/health/2023/09/worm-that-jumps-from-rats-to-slugs-to-human-brains-has-invaded-southeast-us/
    Humans become accidental hosts in various ways. They may eat undercooked snails or inadvertently eat an infected slug or snail hiding in their unwashed salad. Infected snails and slugs can also be eaten by other animals first, like frogs, prawns, shrimp, or freshwater crabs. If humans then eat those animals before fully cooking them, they can become infected. When a rat lungworm finds itself in a human, it does what it usually does in rats—it heads to the central nervous system and brain. Sometimes the migration of the worms to the central nervous system is asymptomatic or only causes mild transient symptoms. But, sometimes, they cause severe neurological dysfunction. This can start with nonspecific symptoms like headache, light sensitivity, and insomnia and develop into neck stiffness and pain, tingling or burning of the skin, double vision, bowel or bladder difficulties, and seizures. In severe cases, it can cause nerve damage, paralysis, coma, and even death.

    Dallas mayor switches to GOP, making city the largest led by a Republican
    https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/09/22/eric-johnson-dallas-mayor-party-switch/
    The mayor of Dallas is switching parties after serving in public office for years as a Democrat, making the north Texas city the country’s largest led by a Republican. Eric Johnson, a former Democratic Texas state lawmaker, wrote in an op-ed published in the Wall Street Journal on Friday that he was switching parties because “too many Democrats insist on virtue signaling,” and argued that Democratic policies have not sufficiently addressed crime and homelessness. “Next spring, I will be voting in the Republican primary,” Johnson wrote in a piece with the headline “America’s cities need Republicans, and I’m becoming one.” Johnson was elected to the nonpartisan office — meaning candidates don’t run as Democrats or Republicans — in 2019 and reelected in May, but said he will leave the position in 2027 as a member of the GOP. “American cities need Republicans — and Republicans need American cities,” Johnson wrote. He went on to say that he was switching because American cities are “in disarray,” as local Democratic leaders haven’t, in his view, made public safety a priority. He also claimed Democrats spent tax dollars in a way that made homelessness worse while “finding new ways to thumb their noses at Republicans,” rather than focusing on solving problems. Johnson called for other mayors to stand up for law and order while reducing taxes.

    The Most Jaw-Dropping Allegations in the Bob Menendez Indictment
    https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2023/09/senator-bob-menendez-indicted-on-corruption-charges-again.html
    New Jersey Democrat Robert Menendez was indicted on federal corruption charges for the second time in his senate career, authorities announced on Friday. Menendez, his wife, and three others are accused of a bribery scheme that allegedly saw the Menendez couple accept lavish gifts in exchange for the senator using his position to help the men. Federal prosecutors held a press conference at 11 a.m. to formally announce the charges against Menendez, who was acquitted in a mistrial on federal bribery charges in 2017. Among the many allegations, U.S. Attorney Damian Williams claimed that Menendez “took steps to secretly aid the government of Egypt” and provided non-public information to Egyptian officials, abusing his position as the head of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. For his role in the scheme, the senator has been charged with conspiracy to commit bribery, conspiracy to commit honest services fraud, and conspiracy to commit extortion under color of official right.

    Marine Le Pen should stand trial over alleged misuse of EU funds, say prosecutors
    https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/sep/22/marine-le-pen-trial-alleged-misuse-eu-funds-say-prosecutors
    The Paris prosecutor’s office has recommended that the far-right leader Marine Le Pen and 26 members of her National Rally party stand trial over the alleged misuse of EU funds. The request, which will be considered by judges, comes after a seven-year investigation into allegations that the party, then called the Front National, had used money destined for EU parliamentary assistants to pay staff who were instead working for the party between 2004 and 2016. EU lawmakers are allocated funds to cover expenses, including their assistants, but are not meant to use them for party expenses. Rules state that assistants paid by the European parliament must work directly on Strasbourg parliamentary matters.
