New best case study for The Streisand Effect

If you have a stress headache over the rapture not happening today, remember, no Tylenol!

Please note that this edited post STILL fails to push back on Trump's false claim that Tylenol causes autism. And it still carries water for Trump by whitewashing his motivations and buying into his framing of autism as some kind of problem that needs to be stemmed.

i am seriously begging democrats to bring the same smoke to this story that they brought to jimmy kimmel being indefinitely suspended

Opted in by default of course. We desperately need federal privacy laws to prevent this which we won’t be getting for a good while, I’m sure. www.techradar.com/pro/linkedin...

Journalist Mario Guevara has been in ICE detention for 100+ days even though there are no charges against him. Free Press and other groups demand his immediate release: https://www.freepress.net/news/leading-press-freedom-groups-demand-immediate-release-journalist-mario-guevara

For the record, the local police had to arrive to free the girl from … the federal police. This is horrific. It’s undeniable that we will need trials for ICE officials and officers after all this. “Leominster police arrived at the scene, recovered the child and returned her to the family.”

So … what time for the rapture exactly?

When you’re a corporation you can do whatever you want

In 1998 Andrew Wakefield wrote a paper linking vaccine to autism. 27 years later millions of people believe this. Today the President of the United States announced to the whole world that Tylenol is linked to autism. So you can bet that 25 years from now, millions will still believe that.

If your headline today doesn’t include the fact that there’s absolutely no proven link between Tylenol or Acetaminophen and autism, you should immediately consider another line of work.

"It's like a fascist government naming an anti-fascist group terrorists" doesn't scan well as an Alanis lyric. Needs some help from someone with better songwriting chops.

Probably gonna turn out that, oh, half the country has ties to antifa given this sort of rationale.

It's not trans women in bathrooms you need to worry about, it's ...

Praying fervently—for the first time in many, many years—for the rapture to come tomorrow.

Judging by Miller’s statements over the years, I’m assuming it’s a Grand Dragon.

What do you do with yourself when you’re expecting the rapture to arrive in a few days like do you still go to work?

What was Twitter really is a hallway of distorted mirrors now.

Apropos of nothing in particular, here's Walt Disney's testimony to HUAC in 1947, where he named employees he believed were communists, condemned labor unions, and accused "commie" groups, including the League of Women Voters, of smearing him. 🗃️ archive.org/details/walt...

You guys, so many Romance girlies are reading "On Tyranny" that they've broken the Goodreads recommendations algorithm. 10/10; no notes. #romancelandia

people needed to have watched this in 2020 when they were seal clapping for Dr Fauchi and telling everyone they got their Fauchi ouchie. The second best time is now

I've made some updates to this article because some folks are skeptical about the specifics and I realize it's important to convey the topic with nuance. Friend link: stribs.medium.com/safety-not-g...

Earlier this year, ProPublica found that the sepsis rate in second-trimester pregnancy loss hospitalizations increased by more than 50% under Texas’ abortion ban. Here’s how we did our analysis. (Published Feb. 2025)

I actually think it’s good when deeply offputting users have horrible AI avatars. its the 2025 version of this

I'm not even trying to be a snob, I just genuinely don't know what any of us think "normal" looks like anymore. The Biden years were an attempt at a low-key restoration of normal, they failed in no small part because we didn't need "normal," what we needed was an extraordinary response to Jan 6.

Never in our history, not even during Watergate, has a single news cycle so comprehensibly established the deep corruption and politicization of the Department of Justice

Robert Redford clearly has the hair in Jeremiah Johnson Donald Trump wishes he had.

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.

Some days this t-shirt is more topical than others.

Could’ve sworn I heard Fox News talking heads condemning political violence just the other day.

Well, that’s not gonna work. And it’s asking journalists to abandon their craft. Become megaphones to propaganda.

Again Bouie from the top rope

When you baselessly call LGBTQ people terrorists who murdered Charlie kirk, this is the result. people.com/charlie-kirk...

It’s been sad this year watching how the White House press corps refuses to back each other up. Here a female journalist is insulted and denigrated and the next male reporter just moves on to a new question. You’re all in this together, folks. Time & again, they won’t stand up for their colleagues.

Critical part of the President's new $100,000 charge for H1-B visas: The Administration can also offer a $100,000 discount to any person, company, or industry that it wants. Replacing rules with arbitrary discretion. Want visas? You know who to call and who to flatter.

“In order to win elections, we may need to throw some people under the bus”

I think it's bad for the president to order the military to murder people so he can gleefully blast the snuff video out into everyone's feed.

Trump releases video of a 3rd boat blown up in international waters. He again claims it was a drug boat and the 3 killed were gang members. And again we’ll all just have to take his word for it. taskandpurpose.com/news/us-thir...

Curtis Evans, of Evanston, carries a U.S. flag through gas deployed by federal officers as they clear protesters from the entrance of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Broadview on Sept. 19, 2025. Evans said he was a Marine during Ronald Reagan’s term.

Even RFK Jr’s handpicked lackeys don’t agree with him.

We say these things so often now that they begin to sound a little trite, I’m afraid but: Every accusation is a confession.

“Economic environment,” huh? Wonder what elements of the economic environment are contributing?

They've done it: they've finally created an AI device that even the AI freaks hate
