Even down to how they exploit the changes in diagnostic criteria to suggest there's some "contagion" or "epidemic." What those changes actually point to is a move away from a model of suppression to a model of acceptance, and that's what actually terrifies them

RFK Jr: The Amish don't have autism The Amish:

Aside from the usual corruption never let these guys scream 'stolen valor' because a Dem mispronounces one of his ribbons again. Noem has never served, dresses up in SEAL kit, and has stolen housing reserved for military officers so she can fuck her psycho racist boyfriend who really runs DHS.

Untreated learning disabilities can result in poor coping skills, poor self esteem, and other psychological issues. This is why funding for education is important.

Queen of the Disneyland Hotel

The NYT liveblog on the autism press conference is a fascinating read -- largely because it's written by health reporters and not political reporters. Look at how direct and appropriately shocked these posts are! www.nytimes.com/live/2025/09...

I would be so stoked to get the country back from the evangelicals, tbh.

Oh dear. It seems Dr. Oz’s company sells Trump‘s big autism cure. What a crazy happenstance.

Drill baby drill.

The Lost pilot is now old enough to drink.

being trans is fun because you get to have intrusive thoughts like "maybe if he botches Afghanistan in a bloody military debacle and ruins Christmas, he won't have enough legitimacy to instigate a pogrom against me."

Conservatives love to darkly say stuff like “you aren’t prepared for what’s next, we’re not going to be moderate anymore, you have no idea what you’ve unleashed” and then cry like babies when you call them fascists

No but like…where is the money?

How bout every pregnant woman in the US gets a personal telehealth appointment w Trump and RFK Jr just to make sure they're cool with her treatment protocol?

"There's no downside in taking them separately." Yes there is. First, you have to make multiple appointments to get them all. Second, every time you go that's more money you have to pay to your insurance company.

This........this is not what happens when vaccines are given. What the fuck is he talking about?!?

Famous scientist and learned man, Donald Trump

First, Trump made us pay higher coffee and beef prices to support a convicted coup-plotter in Brazil. Now, he wants American taxpayers to bail out his friend Milei in Argentina. Trump should stop raising prices for Americans and giving away our money to his corrupt buddies.

I think Disney looked at the prospect of Pedro Pascal not promoting The Mandalorian & Grogu and said "No mas"

hey look at that, the opposing political party rose as one and made a huge stink and the people followed with action and then there were results

Not enough people would get it, but would love to see him start with "Heard any good jokes lately?" #PeeWee

the supreme court may be handing dictatorial powers to a senile pedophile, but let's take stock of the important thing here: Justice Kavanaugh no longer has to worry about his gambling debts

They rush when they want to rush and they slow walk when they want to slow walk and it’s an ideological decision always in either direction.

*sigh* How does any professor teach constitutional law right now?

#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.

Just a reminder before the “big announcement” today. Autism was discovered in 1911 and the modern definition of Autism came in 1943. Tylenol wasn’t widely used until the 1950s. Anyone trying to tell you that Tylenol causes Autism isn’t someone that should be taken seriously.

It's very funny that 1) both Dem Hill leaders are NYC residents and 2) both keep getting poleaxed by this Q and it's ruined their media hits for three months

closing out a career of "oh brother, this guy stinks" moves by retiring so close to the season that the school has no choice but to internally promote your son whose only job has been as your assistant. you've gotta respect it (jk you don't have to respect it)

my crazy view is that the vesting clause mostly reflects one of the live debates during the convention, which was whether the executive would be a single person or some kind of executive council. that's it!

Shanah Tovah, New York City. Here's to a sweet and hopeful New Year.

Evangelicals Hoping for the Rapture Vs Non-Evangelicals Hoping for the Rapture

do we think it's good that entire economy is based on the same entities passing money back and forth on speculative investment without anyone making anything that someone outside the loop is buying

Happened to be by a World Market yesterday. Got some motherflippin' Hobnobs. Life is good.

I get that "don't complain bc things sucked more in the past" is not really a strong argument, politically or morally. But still. This graph is stunning, comparing the 2020 homicide spike in NYC to historic trends. Still SO safe, for all the "city on fire!" rhetoric.

This message is very important to remind ourselves of and to share with other people.

find me another Dem that wouldn't be too afraid to do this. seriously.

Bouie is a national treasure

Seeing people who are just not wired for anything but rage and schadenfreude try to figure out the performance of grief is genuinely anthropologically fascinating

Holy shit

“And therefore I will ______”

Speaking as an astrophysicist, I would not take scientific advice from a guy who stared directly at a Solar eclipse. YMMV.

ran the stats. in goal-to-go situations this year, Russell Wilson is 1-for-11 passing for negative 2 yards

Was Disney always planning on dropping the Baby Yoda trailer today or was this an emergency situation because of how mad everyone is at them now
