The other day I came across a thread in which people were bitching about Push Button Start on new cars. To a one, those bitching just did not understand how the thing works. And there was some old man yells at cloud going on. Some of the points fascinated me….

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have shown Alzheimer’s disease can be REVERSED- not just prevented. Using a potent neuroprotective compound called P7C3-A20, they found RESTORING balance to a central cellular energy molecule (NAD+) not only PREVENTED disease features but REVERSED them, EVEN at late stages.

In preclinical models, treatment repaired brain pathology, restored cognitive function, and normalized Alzheimer’s biomarkers (in HUMAN models as well). • case.edu/news/new-stu... The study has been published in Cell. YES, it is PEER-REVIEWED. • www.cell.com/cell-reports... 🧪🧵⬇️

The main narrative for abortion that emerges from this bizarre and horrifying year appears to be chaos. Project 2025 initiated a war on reproductive rights that could escalate in 2026. There's even a new "Project 2026" with a starker commitment to ending abortion access.

It’s more than OK for kids to be bored − it’s good for them

Proof that there is more than one way to prostitute yourself. Too bad.

2025 comes to an end. It’s been a strong year for deployment and innovation, but a worrying one for energy politics. Moves like the US pause on offshore wind show how quickly progress can be undermined by polarised debate. Here’s hoping 2026 brings calmer, more evidence-based energy policymaking.

This message hits hard.

Trump says he’s not abolishing the Department of Education — just dismantling it “brick by brick.” 🧱📚 Because nothing says pro-family like gutting student protections, civil rights enforcement, and special education while calling it reform. 19thnews.org/2025/11/depa...

That’s a lot of pages of evidence for a “hoax”.

If this is true, it is the most impeachable offense ever.

Still up. Glad I posted here and not YouTube. This is what Bari Weiss and CBS tried to hide from us.

A federal judge this week canceled the trial of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, and scheduled a hearing on whether the prosecution is being vindictive in pursuing a human smuggling case against him. n.pr/3L3sZng

In the last couple of years, Polish activists have taken matters into their own hands, due to a lack of action by the gov't that had promised to legalise abortion. One group sued and won to include mental health in the legal health exception, another group opened a Warsaw abortion centre.

Women have died because they couldn't get an abortion. 'ProPublica previously reported on two such cases in which miscarrying women in Texas died of sepsis after doctors delayed evacuating their uteruses. Doing so would have been considered an abortion. www.propublica.org/article/texa...

“Miss, do you agree with the sign?” “Absolutely not. My great niece was 4 months pregnant and her fetus had no skull. And because of men involving themselves in women’s bodies she was forced to deliver the fetus… there’s a reason God created medicine.”🔥 #ForcedBirthNation

Ok, since this has come up four times in the last three days: REPUTABLE LITERARY AGENTS WILL NOT CHARGE YOU MONEY. IF A LITERARY AGENT WANTS TO CHARGE YOU FOR AN "EXPEDITED ACCESS PACKAGE" THIS IS A SCAM.

Acton: [Ramaswamy] literally treats Ohio like a flyover state. When you love Ohio the way I do, you don’t treat it like a flyover state. You don’t move your business from Ohio to Texas. You don’t pit Ohioans against each other with endless culture wars…

And both times, they tried to award the prize to her husband. Luckily, he had the integrity to set them straight and give her the prize. Plenty of men have shamelessly taken the credit for discoveries made by women and this is how women get erased from science.

This is perfect. The DOJ's embarrassing snafu with disappearing redactions was the fault of Elon Musk. Musk cancelled government subscriptions to Adobe programs that would have made the redactions permanent. What a pack of fools.

Hi Nick. I’ll be blocking you soon because you are rude. I am not doing this pup a disservice. Clearly, you don’t know much about the cost involved in something like this, not that such ignorance stopped your rudeness. I hope you are nicer than this to dogs. If not, I hope you don’t have one.

RFK: “Where did all this autism come from? It never existed when I was a kid!” “A Christmas Story”, a 1983 movie based on a 1971 memoir about a childhood in the 1930s: “This is my brother Ralphie. He has a ton of sensory issues and behaviors we don’t understand. Every family has a child like him.”

I can’t get past the idea that this wraith has children.

Deport Bad Bunny? Where, back to the Puerto Rico…which is part of what country again?

The numbers are in. More people watched the bootlegged 60 Minutes CECOT segment than watched Trump’s Kennedy Center Honors on CBS.
