Continue to be in disbelief that no one is primarying establishment centrist Dem Govs Healey (MA) & McKee (RI) from the left

For the morning crowd. I really would love to see/find more sharing and discussion of music on here. If you're into that, let me know, or if there's a Feed for this that I haven't found yet please share! cc @lindsaynicolle.bsky.social @tylerhuckabee.bsky.social @aarikdanielsen.bsky.social

Lord Jesus I see what you’ve done for others…

There are plenty of books at your local libraries and bookstores to read and learn about autism that do not focus on Tylenol. Best of all, more and more books are being written and illustrated. More and are being published! 📚 😊 Here are a few:

It's a tough choice.

In December 2023, Special Counsel Jack Smith asked SCOTUS to grant cert before judgement to hear Trump’s immunity appeal. The court rejected that request and didn’t issue its immunity decision until July 2024. Trump’s federal cases never made it to trial before the November 2024 election.

American Academy of Pediatrics statement on the 9/22 WH autism press conference: “Today’s White House event on autism was filled with dangerous claims and misleading information that sends a confusing message to parents and expecting parents and does a disservice to autistic individuals."

Walgreens confirms to me that they, too, will provide Covid vaccines without a prescription nationwide if CDC formally adopts ACIP's recommendations. (Please note that, for both CVS and Walgreens, this change is still contingent on that formal adoption!) Explainer has been updated to reflect this.

Floating this again: would people here be into music recommendations & now playing posts? As far as genres, I lean heavy on neo-soul, emerging jazz (worldwide but esp from London), indie/alt-rock, & melodic singer-songwriters.

Ok, but where are the poetry themed workouts? Bc I’d be very much down!

this is the solution to the male loneliness epidemic I am 100% serious

A tiny fraction of the TV-watching audience was aware of who Sinclair Broadcasting is and I think Sinclair Broadcasting was, in the medium and long terms, much better suited by this arrangement. But Sinclair wants to change that in the least favorable possible context for them

As someone once said

I'll continue to be "I do not regret to inform you that we are going to win"-posting, so figure I should address this point that seems to come up every so often Q: "is it still 'winning' if only *some* good things happen in the near term instead of total planetary eco socialist revolution?" A: yes

A really great piece by my favorite tech journalist:

Having a neurodivergent partner means learning how to give them chances to say those three simple words that produce delight & make their whole day. Those words, of course are “I was right!” 😂

Not sure if @edsbs.bsky.social meant for this tweet to become official US policy but uhhh

like i was saying

I've thought about this Andor quote so many times this year. The only way Trump can win anywhere close to every battle he is waging is if most of his targets don't even fight back. It is an extremely fragile regime trying to do too much too fast. So pick which part of the fight is yours then do it.

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.

We’re gonna need a bigger reconstruction.

This is both the best and the worst thing I have ever seen.

Good news from one Federal court today — allowing Revolution Wind to resume construction off the RI & CT coasts. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/09/22/m...

Lol. LMAO. Big tough guy over here folds like a lawn chair.

Looking at RFK's recent moves, including an attack on the hepatitis B vaccine and on painkillers for pregnant women. The common theme: That all children's health problems are due to "bad" mothers. This isn't about making kids healthy. It's misogyny. www.salon.com/2025/09/22/r...

Can we have one day. Just one fucking day of peace from them

RFK Jr. invented a parallel reality in which he is the only one who understands how science and medicine really work, and filled it with weird fake shit he half-remembered hearing on podcasts. Most anti-vax types are like this at least a little bit. Trump is just thinking of a big ACME-brand needle.

The whole time that Trump has been saying dumb shit about vaccines, which goes back well before he got into politics, his big issue has always been that The Needle Is Too Big, and that there's too much stuff in it. They're putting dozens, hundreds of things in the needle, it's too big for babies.

"it's too much liquid" going into the baby, instantly up there with the injecting bleach moment.

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.

Do you understand that a huge portion of the wellness podcaster and influencer community is now going to be paid to push folic acid as a treatment for autism despite no actual evidence for it. This is a windfall for the supplements industry. It's all a grift.

Tylenol is about to own the United States after they are through with these bozos in court holy shit.

I, personally, do not like that John Roberts treats precedent as meaningless when it comes to whether you have five votes on the shadow docket.

SCOTUS couldn’t move fast enough to block Biden from cancelling student loans bc “wHEre iS ThAt in tHE cONsTitUTion?” Now for trump, they’re racing to invent new presidential powers from whole cloth & rip up a century of congressional statutes & administrative law precedents. Joke Court.

All the limitations on exec power will return if we have another dem president. Republican presidents don’t need them because they are inherently virtuous.

the sycophancy for trump aside, very hard to overstate the arrogance of this majority in dispensing with a precedent that has served this country and both of its political parties well for nearly a century.

Somebody at Disney googled "How to unring a bell"

We generally expect partisans to give credit when their guy is in charge (Dems think crime is higher under Bush/Trump, lower under Obama/Biden and vice versa). Genuinely wonder if this continues to hold given how central Trump has made "American is a crime-ridden hellhole" to his brand.

This carries the same legal authority as an EO designating Red Sox Nation as an domestic cheesemaking collective.

the ability to accumulate the kinds of fortune that an Ellison or Musk has is not some inevitable outcome of a law of physics; it's the result of specific policy choices around taxation, financial regulation, labor law, and corporate governance.

"This nice magician just cleaned my ears for me and found a quarter! He also returned my lost watch to me! Can you believe that?" -- Opinion writers in today's captured media

my mom, a lifelong devoted christian, said the video of people praying and singing at kirk's memorial looked like "people worshipping the Devil." they should've just interviewed twenty people like her

Had to convince an in-law that the flu vaccines were still safe even though RFK is in office. He is going to wreak havoc on vaccine uptake. No one knows what the truth is
