i’m concerned this is indeed their strategy — katie miller was pushing this conspiracy last night for her podcast, and i have a bad feeling that she got her lines from the white house

Deleted the post because the replies were overwhelming and mostly not helpful. Fio's a bit calmer now. I suspect he just got bit by something - I've had the windows open today. Gonna keep watching him a while longer and take him in if he keeps freaking out. ❤️

Someone posted this in response to a video of my cat in obvious discomfort where I was asking if I need to take him to the emergency vet. Fuck this website man

Also! The generally preferred term is "autistic people," not "people with autism." (You start to see the argument in a new way when you start writing things like "epidemic of autistic people") And "profound autism" is not a thing btw.

it can only good happen

just kidding!!

it's rare that i call out a humble reply guy, given that they power the poster's economy, but i've got something to say: i actually DON'T think that paedophiles, rapists, and murderers get into heaven. sorry if this offends!! sorry if this is too "woke"!!

the illiberal left "bias corrects" their climate data because of woke

FWIW, this is how Jimmy Kimmel became as openly political as he is now; prior to this, I don’t think anyone thought he was conservative but the 2017 Trumpcare push was clearly a radicalizing moment for him: www.thedailybeast.com/jimmy-kimmel...

Rapture tomorrow. Go ahead and push directly to prod.

UPDATE: Sinclair is NOT going to broadcast Jimmy Kimmel, even though ABC is resuming production. Sinclair has demanded that Kimmel personally donate to Turning Point USA, a right-wing political organization. David Smith, executive chairman of Sinclair, donated 250K to Turning Point USA last year.

at minimum, can we be more careful with how we talk about vaccines? here’s some helpful language: publichealthcollaborative.org/topics/pedia... and trainings: publichealthcollaborative.org/training/

Haha I'm being Raptured! This is wonderful, ha ha goodbye losers [It is revealed that the events of the film Nope are happening to me] fuck shit

The problem with this site boils down to only 5% of people understanding that when you see a bad post online, you’re not supposed to reply; you’re supposed to send it to a close personal friend with the most hurtful remark you can think of based on small incidental details about the poster’s life

OK folks. Don't do this. The reason we try to give vaccines for potentially sexually transmitted diseases at 12 is *because* it is before most people will have been exposed. Do not sexualize that guideline, even if you hate the current dipshit please. Not helping.

Just a reminder that, despite what these freaks would have you think, antivaxx is extremely unpopular and we need to attack them relentlessly for putting insane dipshittery over our health

My professional assessment is that Ezra Klein is a moron @jezebeldotcom.bsky.social

Every time I see the word Lysenkoism on here I think of this anecdote

Call me old fashioned, but aren’t both parts of this relationship currently, uh, married to other people?

As America's most pro-business leader in a generation, I will choose one company each week and accuse them of witchcraft

I know we clown strongly worded statements but every medical professional in the US needs to issue one by tomorrow morning saying "we're not following the bullshit guidance of a lifelong antivax activist & his senile boss"

this is really serious. if it continues, we’ll start to see states make do their own drug labels in some manner, possibly through collabs with other states, similar to what we are seeing with ACIP recs

and always remember this guy told us to drink bleach.

If you, like me, are the parent of a neuro-atypical child dreading this autism press conference, please remember: These are the people hurting our kids. Not us. They are the ones stigmatizing and pathologizing them. They are the ones peddling untested science. And we should be very, very angry.

So I'm assuming that financial journalists are hard at work figuring out who in the administration shorted Kenvue today, right?

The answer may not surprise you! Because it’s yes

Being told to do better because I don’t think they’re going to stop selling Tylenol over the counter

This is lawless. It is, however, not much different than what the SCOTUS far-right majority did when it allowed Texas's SB8 vigilante abortion law to go into effect in 2021 despite it clearly being unconstitutional under Roe/Casey.

I’m not sure the “Tylenol causes autism” explanation circling on Bluesky (catering to misogyny) is quite right. I think the simpler political calculus is (1) it lets them look strong and go against the biggest Big Pharma target like going up against Harvard, and (2) there’s nothing to do about it

#BREAKING: Over dissents from Justices Sotomayor, Kagan & Jackson, #SCOTUS grants a stay in the Slaughter case (allowing President Trump to remove the last Dem member of the FTC), *and* grants certiorari "before judgment" to decide whether to formally overrule its 1935 ruling in Humphrey's Executor.

🦇🦠 New preprint - in a long-term effort led by the amazing @mayajuman.bsky.social, we've shown that the ML tools developed by @viralemergence.org let us efficiently screen museum collections for pathogens with pandemic potential 🎉🔓 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Believe it or not, @alexandraphelan.bsky.social and I started talking about the concept for this workshop 5? 6? years ago, so it was absolutely amazing to finally pull this off with exactly the right people, especially in a year when it feels like we're taking a lot of L's on actionable science 🥰

Maybe it’s just that I saw Cabaret yesterday, but one part of this really resonates - the aesthetics of fascism always coalesce and become omnipresent before the political machine, because they want you to feel like they’ve already won and stop fighting

Am I a real climate scientist now

Flinders University has abolished the College of Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences. Another destructive restructure is about to happen.

and it was the end of the world

NEW: Air Force jets are doing ICE flights to Africa with transponders turned off, making them nearly un-trackable. This includes the third-country removal to Ghana and another secret flight. We figured out where it landed. From me for @rollingstone.com: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

the republican line to open corruption in the government is “WE DON’T CARE” lmfao

Today is just proof that if you work really really really hard the universe rewards you with the Merrily proshot

Tonight I remembered that “everyone sees this terrible thing happening and no one is doing anything to stop it” is from the Gawker endless mozzarella sticks article

The BBNJ agreement comes into force! A victory for our oceans, planet and environmental multilateralism. Now the work begins. Quick, effective implementation is key. Our ocean is the foundation of our very existence. Today we took an important step to save not only our ocean, but also our future.

Shut the fuck up challenge

You like phages ? In this publication, we use metaHiC and our new version of the MetaTOR pipeline to challenge the traditional view of phages with a narrow host range. @rkoszul.bsky.social @natmicrobiol.nature.com @cnrs.fr @institutpasteur.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41...

I think it’s high time we take back the national narrative. For centuries Americans of all races, genders, religions, and abilities have worked to create a more perfect union, and we should shout from the rooftops that WE are America. Not these idiot white supremacist authoritarians.

easily google-able but I’m lazy: can someone explain the origins of “you did a no growth” to me

If you wrote a "Trump distances himself from project 2025" story in 2024 you are either a dupe or one of our enemies. They are cackling with laughter that the media they're now destroying enthusiastically helped them dupe the voters

"We're going to keep showing up until they stop abducting our neighbors." ❤️
