Remember Streeting's review into whether young people are being overdiagnosed with ADHD, autism, and mental health issues? Well, the interim report is out, and there's a reason the media are silent on it (spoiler: it proves what a lot of us have been saying all along)

Chinga tu Muro!

Here follow my public comments regarding the proposed border infrastructure in the #BigBend region of #Texas: I have been visiting the Big Bend region since 1989. There is absolutely no reason to implement any physical border "protection" infrastructure in this region of Texas. .

Monday is the real day of doom, so why do we fear Friday the 13th? Monday brings the brutal alarm, the flooded inbox, and total dread. Friday means freedom and celebration. If a cursed date wants to maximize human misery, it belongs on a Monday. Let’s move the bad luck to where it belongs!

Don't freak out until we see the guaranteed money

Big Bend is in danger of ecological ruin and harm to cultural & sacred Native American sites due to the Border Wall incursions. #SaveBigBendNationalPark www.texasobserver.org/state-of-pla...

Fellow Texans: vote for the guy who is from Texas, likes Texas, and cares about Texans

it’s true literally right now: i would flatly not hire anyone who categorically refused to engage with these tools. that doesn’t mean you need to be a tokenmaxxing psycho, but sneering talk about “sparkling autocomplete” means you stopped paying attention

Vim is better than emacs

Put Bernie out to pasture. He's actually a terrible, ineffective politician.

My upcoming book is absolutely packed to the brim with em dashes—more em dashes than any well-adjusted human being could possibly need or want—and if any of you tries to claim they are the result of some soulless LLM rather than my own unhinged compulsion I will fight you.

We spent Independence Day enjoying our birthright as Americans: one of our national parks. This is Big Bend National Park in far southwest Texas. It is a place of rugged beauty and unique geology. It is also a place under assault.

So all this time, Texas & Pacific 610 still had it's 1976 Freedom Train paint on it's tender and they just painted over it? That's pretty dope ngl.

This thread, and the thread that it quotes, are both fascinating.

If American democracy fails, everything people here care about - Gaza, climate change, spelling reform, whatever - gets worse. (Just ask the people now dying in Africa.) So prioritize your voting as if you're a reasoning, capable adult, and not a single-issue child holding your breath.

Grab one while they're hot. So to speak.

Folarin Balogun, who is a US citizen because he was born here, scores a go-ahead goal for the US team in a knockout game. Score one for birthright citizenship.

This is probably more ordnance than was fired in the whole Revolution, quite possibly by orders of magnitude.

This is my lane. I went through the 194 Trump v Barbara opinion from yesterday section by section, noting what they got right about US migration and citizenship history, and what the dissents get wrong. Please share if you think it is helpful to others.

1/3 of Red Army supplies were provided by USA/UK. It is to remark that USA produced 96% of diesel for planes during WW2. Some people create new mith in order to deny them.

Trump is honoring a president today who he sees as a peer — Teddy Roosevelt. The White House has increasingly compared Trump and Roosevelt, too, befuddling historians. Columbia University's Tim Naftali: "The two men would hardly have been simpatico."

he's baaaaaack

Watch "Why Believe?" today on YouTube and discover how your questions can deepen your faith! Does the Bible contradict science? Why is there suffering? Did my dick really rise from the dead?

In reality, we all know it is March 2314, 2020.

The correct statement for Dems to give is this: It is a relief that the Court reaffirmed the foundational principle that anyone born in America is unquestionably American. But the close split on this simple constitutional question reveals a body corrupted beyond repair by authoritarian bullying.

Gorsuch is an absolute embarrassment.

🚨 BREAKTHROUGH: MD Anderson Researchers dropped a cancer bomb mRNA COVID vaccines + immunotherapy = 2x survival at 3 years.🧵

BREAKING: States are allowed to count ballots mailed by Election Day but received after Election Day, Supreme Court rules. Barrett has the 5-4 opinion for the court, holding that federal law does NOT preempt the state laws. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

It's one of the more deliberately bad-faith bits of online Dem factional discourse I've seen recently

I'd love to find a full transcript.

I am genuinely becoming radicalized against Europe in real time. like what do you mean the krampus will come and eat your children because you tricked it into thinking it was winter with the AC

As an American, what the f**k is thermal shock *Proceeds to duckduckgo* Ok so Europeans have a genuine mental illness about AC on the level of Korean fan death or people who drive at night without headlights because they think the photons slow the vehicle down

How in the everloving fuck has Clint Eastwood never won best actor?

If someone from the FBI visits you about your algae posts the correct thing to do is to say you won’t talk with them. Please do not talk to the FBI. Like, at all. They have no sense of humor and they will take your stupid joke and charge you with lying to an agent.

Though this claim is bad science on the same order as “data centers cause damaging vibrations miles away” bsky.app/profile/wind...

This sounds like the kind of garbage that would appear on r/iamveryculinary, but it's about air conditioning. We're just missing "American bread is actually cake.

"I'll never talk to you ever again." Introverts: 🙂

The British will use anything but the metric system.

Let's see if this story blows up

the worst part about this is the fact that everyone in the entire country cares more about local NYC politics than their own city because every media company lives there

The TX Sen race is rightly the one everyone is watching, but the governor's race should probably be getting more attention. I have yet to see Abbott poll above 50% in his race against @ginafortexas.bsky.social.

I don't know if Talarico is going to win, but he is doing this. He is a Texas Democrat. They never went away, but they've been hard to see nationally. He is looking people in the eye and saying, "Look, we know each other. Let's cut the crap."

GP on the BBC this morning parroting the oft-heard “stay indoors between 11 and 3 because the sun is hottest then”. The sun is *most intense* then, that’s the time of day you’re most at risk of sunburn. The hottest part of the day is usually between 4-6. Thinking you’re safer at 5 is daft.
