/8 So: yes, praise the FBI agent who wouldn’t perp-walk James Comey. But praise him for defying routine law enforcement bad behavior AND Trumpism.

Appears to be against the law is one way to describe something that is, in fact, against the law

"Why don't people like me?" Growing up with undiagnosed ADHD, I struggled to keep friends. I always ended up being "too much" for people. Too loud. Too weird. Too annoying. But after all this time, I finally realized—I don’t have to make myself smaller to be worthy of love. ❤️‍🩹 #ADHDAwarenessMonth

The government shutdown comes down to a couple of very tiny parts of the U.S.’s giant $7 trillion budget #economy #shutdown #healthinsurance

Every few months now I re-read this "Who Goes Nazi?" piece from 1941 and am blown away by how it captures the people we are dealing with 80 years later. harpers.org/archive/1941...

There are unreleased government records on Emelia Earhart? After 88 years. 🤔

Who's your favorite Jedi, wrong answer only.

Crack in an egg. You can’t make a tasty strudel without breaking some eggs. Form the dough. Knead until it’s as elastic as the truth. Set the dough out of sight and out of mind.

Yeah, I mean the real problem people like Sacks have with Wikipedia isn't any bias, real or imagined, it's that it's a decentralized collective effort to maintain easy, free public access to a relatively reliable list of accurate primary sources of info, nearly every word of which offends them, lol

‘The encyclopedia is biased’. You could certainly do worse describing the worldview of the modern right in 4 words.

Indeed. Usually it takes them 14 words to explain their own views.

NH reintroduced turkeys in the 1980s(ish). They are now flourishing and I see them every week. Nature has a value beyond what we can extract from it.

Nationally recognized expert in epidemiology reveals what RFK, Jr. doesn't want you to know.

Today I review the second study RFK Jr cited in his autism & Tylenol press conference: acetaminophen in pregnancy from the Nurses' Health Study. You're gonna wanna read this for yourself. open.substack.com/pub/epiellie...

Once again, the Onion demonstrates that satire works best when it is believable. 😐

School age children use the DC metro unaccompanied every day without issue If you're still acting like cities are big scary hives of villainy, 1. You're bitch-made 2. You're not an alpha 3. Stop calling leftists weak/soyboy/beta/cucks 4. Go touch grass

Something I didnt put in my review but that I keep thinking about with this paper is how little time it seems to have taken. They searched for articles in Feb 2025. They had what appears to be 3 rounds of peer-review. And still it got published in August 2025. That is so fast! And fast isn’t good.

Temu Goebbels is jealous he didn't think of this first.

If you’ve been following the RFK Jr autism news, then you’ve probably heard that there’s a systematic review “proving” Tylenol causes autism. Here’s my review of that paper👇🏼 open.substack.com/pub/epiellie...

There ARE definitely some AI-narrated books out there, but I don’t think we’ll be completely replaced, at least not yet. And that’s largely because there are a lot of people like you, that don’t WANT AI audiobooks! Feel free to make your voices heard!

Can someone please make an Oregon Trail mod where you play as RFK Jr. and your travelers constantly fall ill with the most preventable diseases known to man?

Well, idk about you, but tbh that press conference was even worse than I was expecting. open.substack.com/pub/epiellie...

As the brother of an autistic American, as a person who worked on US scientific integrity policy at the White House, and as human being, I'm boiling at the RFK idiocy. And though I have little to offer beyond surpassing rage and national shame, I did smile at this statement from NYU's Arthur Caplan:

Like this,?? www.youtube.com/watch?v=nNUl...

"His rage passes description - the sort of rage that is only seen when Rich folk that have more than they can enjoy suddenly lose something that they had long had but never before used or wanted." - JRR Tolkien, The Hobbit. (Smaug's reaction upon discovering the theft of a gold cup.)

Snake oil salesman RFK Jr is set to announce the 'cause' of and 'cure' for autism at 4pm today. Here's what we know about what he's going to say: open.substack.com/pub/epiellie...

Gosh dang it! They got me. 🤦

I would watch this show, and I am not a TV watcher. It would bring me joy.

My general level of anxiety is so high that I was stressed that he would accidentally cut one of the guinea pigs.

Another Wizard of Id cartoon I stumbled across. Also from 1973-74. The King was often mocked for his comically thin skin.

In the early 1980s, I loved the daily syndicated cartoon Wizard of ID. I purchased the small, digest-sized collections at a local used book shop. I started to reread them and thought I'd share this one. It's from 1973-4.

@allanh.bsky.social I feel this appeals to your interests.

Pulitzer-worthy image. Iconic.

I hope some newspapers use a crop where you can easily read the sign.
