WELL NOW, would you look at that?

A massive, 26-YEAR-LONG study of MORE THAN 2.4 MILLION people in Sweden found NO EVIDENCE to support a causal link between acetaminophen (the API in Tylenol) use during pregnancy and increased risk of autism, ADHD, OR intellectual disability in children.

The SPLC tried to lay low in Trump's second term to avoid harassment from the government, but you can't placate hate so you might as well fight it with your dignity intact. How do people not know this yet?

If I got a letter of recommendation like this I would look into moving to a different planet

Depending on how effective this message is, this may measurably increase flu incidence in San Diego this year.

Hegseth made ending facial hair waivers his all-consuming mission in the first months of the admin. Making it more difficult for (mostly POC) service members to receive exemptions to policy for medical and religious reasons. He also end travel allowance for abortions.

Conservatives think the state should protect them from the traumatizing experience of encountering people unlike them. For some reason this never came up in the heyday of “snowflake,” “trigger warning” or “safe space” discourse bsky.app/profile/kiss...

Thom Tillis: “the king is just wondering aloud, pay no attention”

Occasionally need to repost this Astro Boy panel where Dr. Ochanomizu's butt looks like the Bernie Sanders logo.

Nothing has killed more soldiers in the history of humanity than disease. While worst is a more complicated question Hegseth is absolutely the dumbest secretary of defense the United States has ever had. bsky.app/profile/ones...

Maybe folks are not interested in watching a bad football team?

Reminder: Hegseth said on Fox once that he hadn’t washed his hands in ten years. So he’s definitely an expert on the importance of disease prevention.

How 2 fringe groups and a friendly judge helped pull off Sheriff Chad Bianco’s ballot seizure Emails obtained by CalMatters trace the development of a years-long case that ultimately led to the unprecedented seizure of 650,000 ballots.

Samuel Rutherford, a… slaver, wrote… to complain about its anti-slavery editorial, which described the regime of sexual terror… Rutherford admitted the truth… but said that sexual access to enslaved… worked as a "safety valve to… our white females, who are far superior… to your northern females."

[california dreaming voice] all my apes are gone

Every time I read a piece about somebody with an “ai-assisted editing process” I feel like I’m watching someone trying to intellectualize a deliberate choice not to think or concentrate

I think it’s bad that the president casually refers to a leader of the opposition as a “traitor.”

I don't even know what to say.

ah yes, personal freedom, that thing that is always present IN THE MILITARY
