ACOG’s letter on leaving ACIP is scathing: “In recent months, ACIP has ignored peer-reviewed reports on vaccine safety; shared presentations containing cherry-picked data without appropriate scientific context; and unilaterally changed the … vaccine schedule without regard to expert input”

The right is obsessed with birth rate and population decline but all I can think about is how at this rate the most technologically advanced generation in human history will have to rely on the elder care of the most undereducated and deskilled generations since the invention of the television.

Leaked documents reveal that Meta has blocked its AI chatbot from discussing topics including abortion with minors—a blanket policy that contrasts sharply with the firm's handling of child sexual exploitation claims.

These dogs are having the time of their lives following this week's historic blizzard in the Northeast. Please enjoy. 14/10 for all

Anyway. The only good guy hockey is Canadian gay hockey, is what we’ve learned.

Don’t bother me unless it happens

NEW: Among many other things (obviously), the Epstein files release revealed what Google turns over in response to US subpoenas. @regret.bsky.social has the scoop: www.wired.com/story/heres-...

“Delgado would also use the funds for personal expenditures, including the purchase of residential properties in Windemere, Winter Park, Kissimmee and Sanford that were each worth between $1.15 million and $8.5 million, court documents show.”

The GOP FL Senate has advanced a bill to expand exemptions to school vaccine mandates still required by state law.

These guys hate each other: “‘I’ve seen sufficient abuses of power among at least one unelected Cabinet member to give me grave concerns about the abuse of a bill like to go into statute,’ he said — a reference to Florida AG James Uthmeier, whom Andrade says has abused his power in office.”

“The Director's misplaced priorities and poor management of the FBI's resources—including its aircraft—also harmed the FBI's ability to respond to the shooting at Brown University on December 13, 2025.” W/alt text:

Discord now says they will delay age verification until later this year while they make some updates to how they verify, including using credit cards, and other policies around verification.

Remember a few days ago, when Trump announced he was deploying a hospital ship to Greenland? And he added a bunch of exclamation points? He isn’t actually deploying the ship. The larger arc: There’s no meaningful connection between what he says he’s going to do and what he actually does.

MAGA lawmakers are calling for Rep. Tony Gonzales to resign after the release of disturbing sexual texts he sent to one of his staffers, who later lit herself on fire. House Speaker Mike Johnson is holding back as the GOP clings to a slim majority.

In this thread I explained how the new public corruption investigation unit is linked to the Hope Florida scandal and the DeSantis AG’s expanding web of corruption and that retribution against House Republicans who wronged him/his boss were imminent. And here they come:

New: this app warns you if someone is wearing smart glasses nearby. Meta plans to add facial recognition to its Ray-Ban smart glasses. A 404 Media reader made this app after we showed men filming people w/o their consent, and DHS officials were wearing the glasses www.404media.co/this-app-war...

I regret to inform you the us men’s hockey team sucks ass.

Backlash continues to work surprisingly well on some parts of this administration when there’s attention on them. Unfortunately it works not at all on killing random people at sea or on the street or in concentration camps.

I showed my husband this video and he cocooned himself.

Relevant to today's conversation about AI's inherent sexism, here's an email from cognitive psychologist and early AI theorist Roger Schank, arguing to Epstein that women can't be truly intelligent, because they care too much about what other people think.

Everything is fake.

“We don’t actually view AI investment as strongly growth positive,” said Hatzius. “I think there’s a lot of misreporting, actually, of the impact AI investment had on U.S. GDP growth in 2025, and it’s much smaller than is often perceived.”

They are considering sending mail ballots out four weeks before Election Day instead of three weeks to mitigate postal services new longer processing time and even shifting delivery to UPS, FedEx, or courier service.

I don’t know the actual count off the top of my head but Pirro has a negative goal differential on grand jury indictments at this point and I dunno but after a baker’s dozen they should probably make you wait six months to recharge your mana or whatever. Maybe take a remedial law seminar.

They should see if he knows any center backs

Tapping the sign…

And it’s not like they can just walk off the boat. There is no “quitting” while on deployment and if they still have time on their contracts, the Navy won’t always let them go without a fight.

This is Adm. Kevin Lunday, the Coast Guard commandant who flew in to address the 900 recruits upon learning of it being found, who last year downgraded the swastika from a hate symbol to “potentially divisive” before reversing course and claiming it was an error.

The TMZ bounty on pics of him in cut-offs and a purple mesh crop top rolling on molly at Coachella must be enormous.

Also, as a reminder, while Bhattacharya spent years claiming that "the woke left Biden admin" censored him on social media, the guy who ran his website has said publicly that Facebook pulled it because *anti-vaxxers* were mad about it. www.techdirt.com/2024/12/10/f...

Bsky is for my little jokey jokes and also building a cult around my particular grievances so that when my book comes out you will buy it. It has murder.
