Why are the American president's claims about autism the first item on British news bulletins? He's not our president, the advice doesn't apply here and he's not presented any evidence to support his assertions. So why spread these claims? What make this the biggest story in the UK?

Whether they're blaming vaccines and Tylenol, or selling dubious "remedies," what they're really doing is promoting the perception that families (and especially mothers) can prevent and treat Autism. And thus also the perception that people with Autism and their families don't need social support.

Cut emissions 70% by 2035? There’s only one policy that can get us there. Time to look at a carbon price. theconversation.com/cut-emission...

Jimmy Kimmel announces that Gavin Newsom will be tomorrow nights return to the air guest. This is going to drive Trump absolutely crazy, and I love it.

I’m glad Jimmy’s back. But Brendan Carr still needs to resign. www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/j...

i know we have to "push back" or whatever but this administration has us saying the goofiest, most obvious shit. late night hosts are allowed to make jokes. actually, WE pay tariffs. no, that's not how tylenol works. could be solving climate change but instead we're debunking middle school rumors

The same guy who was addicted to heroin for 14 years – who works for a guy who has an *ongoing*, decades-long, severe cocaine and Adderall addiction – are both trying to tell you that Acetaminophen is bad for you. Don't believe them.

This is the last thing I'm ever going to post about Charlie Kirk! I don't hate anyone. Charlie was a grifter like Rush, Alex Jones and Glen Beck before him. He got rich saying the things the rich wanted him to say. I'm not giving up my humanity no matter how much others tell me I should!

Their tough guy act sure seems to disappear anytime the rest of us stick together and tell them to get fucked.

A tyrannical government doesn't fix a tyrannical government. That's why We the People have "certain unalienable rights." Rights are like muscles, to keep them strong and functioning they have to be exercised. We the People gain our strength by and through the use of our freedom. Get in the gym!

Right now, the discharge petition to force the release of the Epstein files has 217 signatures. It needs one more. Tomorrow, #AZ07 will hold a special election to fill the seat previously held by the late Raul Grijalva. His daughter, Adelita, is the heavy favorite to win & hold the seat for Dems.

The Epstein discharge petition is sponsored by Thomas Massie. It's possible one of the three GOP cosponsors could yank their names (Mace, Boebert, MTG). But if/when Grijalva wins and signs on (every Dem has), that's gonna create some interesting pressure.

Those who don't know their history, repeat it.

I guarantee you everyone in this administration and half the supreme court is committing tax fraud. Easy pickings next time.

C'mon Ohio. Vote the pigs out. If enough people get sick of the BS, then gerrymandering doesn't matter. @democracydocket.com

Drs (and nurses, teachers too) only ever strike as an absolute last resort - and because they care about YOU and the service they can provide to you. Unsafe staffing impacts you. Exhausted Drs impacts you. Underpaid Drs means they LEAVE. I stand with our Drs today, and always. #nzpol

DISNEY: "OK, we are putting Jimmy Kimmel back on the air. You can resubscribe now." ME: "I unsubscribed because you immorally bowed to fascism. I'm not going to resubscribe because you immorally bowed to finances."

"massive underground tunnels, carved by lava, exist on Venus – and they are surprisingly wide and different from those on any other planet. It is uncontroversial that lava tubes – underground tunnels carved out by molten rock – exist on Earth, the moon and Mars" www.newscientist.com/article/2497...

Kamala Harris: He had no plan for actually bringing down costs and prices for the American people. He had very few plans for what he would actually do that was about the American people, and not his vengeance on his enemies.

Jimmy Kimmel isn't returning to the airwaves because of "thoughtful conversations" with Disney executives. He's back because consumers sent Disney a clear message: selling out our fundamental rights is not an acceptable cost of doing business.

This ought to be engraved somewhere.

Kamala Harris on Mamdani: Look, as far as I'm concerned, he's the democratic nominee and he should be supported.

Look, it’s Heroin and Adderall ganging up on Tylenol.

Mark Carney keeps talking about “decarbonized oil.” Today he admitted that’s bullshit. At the Council on Foreign Relations, he started saying BC’s new LNG project was “zero carbon,” before adding a key caveat: “before the Scope 3 obviously.” That’s where the bulk of the emissions come from.

One of the largest measles outbreaks in the U.S. is now centered in bordering areas of southwestern Utah and Arizona.

It's weird how Tylenol caused autism (first diagnosed in 1943) before it was even invented (1955). What a clever drug.

Nicola Willis's $8.5 billion hole means that the National Party is on track to borrow $120 billion without taking from pay equity claims. That's almost double what Labour borrowed over 6 years - all while Labour managed a global pandemic & economic depression risks #nzpol #Kiwi
