Doctors say children should be vaccinated. This ketamine-addicted CBS News contributor says they shouldn't. For busy parents, it can be hard to know who to trust.

The MIC working hard for their money I see

This picture is wild 🤣

learned from who??? Who are these random people sending stuff to state legislators

the thing is that none of these guys are actually going to do anything more than sit behind a screen

they're not going to do any raping and pillaging, that's not even the "reward"

what they get off to is talking about how much they would hypothetically rape and pillage on the internet

I pledge allegiance, to the profits, of the corporations and puppets of America. And to the stakeholders, who all demand, one monopoly, under cis white male God, divisible unevenly among the empowered, for injustice and slavery for all.

It’s almost like green energy is the only way forward and a handful of oil barons are doing everything in their power to keep that from happening so they can get even richer at the cost of literally everything else in the world.

Did you know Scottish generators pay the highest charges in Europe to connect to the grid, while English plants get subsidized? We are penalized for producing green energy. It is a rigged system designed to keep our energy cheap for London and expensive for us.

Why did BS stories like the John Kerry swiftboating and Obama birtherism get into major media?

I think the weirdest thing about AI usage has been seeing how quickly people are willing to surrender themselves to it

like that desire to offload every mental challenge, any need for validation, every single curiosity is channeled through it

They done finally laid Duolingo to rest

obviously plenty of other things should have already been disqualifying but people willing to defy Trump publicly and appeal to decency as their reason for doing so both seem pretty good

Are there?

In Washington, everything appears to be for sale And the government has given up on prosecuting corruption

Was that chip deal or this tariff break a credible decision made in the national interest, or a finagle made in Donald Trump’s self-interest? Was it both? Who knows

Pop quiz! Who wrote this book?

Classic cope

This man is (also) a Peruvian citizen. He really means what he says

I’m sorry I just got here from outer space. New York is a suburb built on an old cornfield right

Awww thanks for answering! I grew up in a more ethical agrarian environment and wouldn’t mind drinking milk there but here I’m nervous about treatment of cattle. Should I try to seek out local farms or is like “Big Dairy” also not painful to the cows
