#Roundup

It's Friday so as told by the prophecy I return with Scraps, my little human-curated #roundup of links to some great #blog posts and other interesting content. The #indieweb, the #humanweb and the #infosec & #sysadmin worlds collide in this week's Scraps: fyr.io/scrap/2025-07-25

We're six (6) editions deep with no signs of slowing down. Take a look if you wish. You might find something you like!

Ik verdacht het Ctgb altijd al van corruptie (denk aan Glyfosaat). Maar als notabene een keuringsinstantie, die volstrekt onafhankelijk zou moeten zijn, RECLAME voor landbouwgif gaat maken, is er iets vreselijk mis.

Naast dat mensen en dieren ziek van worden van al dat gif en grondwater vervuild raakt, zijn er veel te weinig insecten in Nederland. Twintig jaar geleden zat je autoruit vol met lijkjes van (niet meer) vliegende beestjes als je 's avonds of 's nachts gereden had - nu niet meer. Rara hoe komt dat?

Om een nieuwe vogelpindakaaspot, die ik gisteren buiten hing, wordt GEVOCHTEN. Ook vogels kunnen steeds minder insecten vinden en hebben honger. In een paar dagen tijd eten hier vooral Eksters, Koolmezen en Mussen die pot leeg (maandag krijgen ze weer een nieuwe).

Het onderstaande filmpje heb ik ca. 1 uur geleden gemaakt (en daarna, in aantal bytes, flink verkleind).

Roundup's brilliant solution to the glyphosate controversy: replace it with diquat, a chemical that's only 200x more toxic and banned in the UK, EU, and China! 🧪

Nothing says "food safety" like irreversible kidney damage and destroyed gut bacteria. The EPA remains unbothered. 🤷‍♂️

@shellsharks is back with more Scrolls, and so is Scraps, my pauper imitation #roundup of some of the interesting things I've seen on the #indieweb and #fediverse

We're heavy on the fedi...verse this week, with congratulations to @xandra for hitting v1 on Riverton, a bunch of fediverse merch curated by @box464, @readbeanicecream shares an *amazing* quote, and a whole bunch more.

Dit zeer degelijke onderzoek leidt tot eenduidige conclusie: #glyfosaat bevattende onkruidverdelgingsmiddelen zijn #kankerverwekkend.
Een totaalverbod hierop, dus ook voor land- en tuinbouw, is het enige logische vervolg.

“Our findings are consistent also with the epidemiological evidence showing increases in incidence of multiple malignancies in humans exposed to glyphosate and GBHs.”

BioMed CentralCarcinogenic effects of long-term exposure from prenatal life to glyphosate and glyphosate-based herbicides in Sprague–Dawley rats - Environmental HealthBackground Glyphosate-based herbicides (GBHs) are the world’s most widely used weed control agents. Public health concerns have increased since the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classified glyphosate as a probable human carcinogen in 2015. To further investigate the health effects of glyphosate and GBHs, the Ramazzini Institute launched the Global Glyphosate Study (GGS), which is designed to test a wide range of toxicological outcomes. Reported here are the results of the carcinogenicity arm of the GGS. Methods Glyphosate and two GBHs, Roundup Bioflow used in the European Union (EU) and RangerPro used in the U.S., were administered to male and female Sprague–Dawley (SD) rats, beginning at gestational day 6 (via maternal exposure) through 104 weeks of age. Glyphosate was administered through drinking water at three doses: the EU acceptable daily intake (ADI) of 0.5 mg/kg body weight/day, 5 mg/kg body weight/day and the EU no-observed adverse effect level (NOAEL) of 50 mg/kg body weight/day. The two GBH formulations were administered at the same glyphosate-equivalent doses. Results In all 3 treatment groups, statistically significant dose-related increased trends or increased incidences of benign and malignant tumors at multiple anatomic sites were observed compared to historical and concurrent controls. These tumors arose in haemolymphoreticular tissues (leukemia), skin, liver, thyroid, nervous system, ovary, mammary gland, adrenal glands, kidney, urinary bladder, bone, endocrine pancreas, uterus and spleen (hemangiosarcoma). Increased incidences occurred in both sexes. Most of these involved tumors that are rare in SD rats (background incidence < 1%) with 40% of leukemias deaths in the treated groups occurring before 52 weeks of age and increased early deaths were also observed for other solid tumors. Conclusions Glyphosate and GBHs at exposure levels corresponding to the EU ADI and the EU NOAEL caused dose-related increases in incidence of multiple benign and malignant tumors in SD rats of both sexes. Early-life onset and mortality were observed for multiple tumors. These results provide robust evidence supporting IARC’s conclusion that there is “sufficient evidence of carcinogenicity [of glyphosate] in experimental animals”. Furthermore, our data are consistent with epidemiological evidence on the carcinogenicity of glyphosate and GBHs.
