The September 28 Hot ten is a photo-and-meme board with one consumer-safety joke. Rank 1 is a moon alignment timed to the September 26 Harvest Moon, not a political thread. Rank 8 is the only item with a dated regulator action (FDA Class II, September 21, 1.7 million pounds). me_irl at 5 and meirl at 7 show the meme slots survived a full title rotation.
