My man David Byrne released a new album this month

In news that the HHS should be shouting from the rooftops: Availability of the RSV vaccine for pregnant people and RSV shots for infants lead to a 50% reduction in RSV-associated hospitalization of newborns during the last year! 🥳 Spread the good word, folks! #Episky

For a measurement class, a good question might be *why* this is the case* and *why* it doesn't mean there was no autism prior to the 1950s.

Tylenol does not cause autism. Autistic kids do not need to be cured. Okay thanks bye.

IT IS TIME.

TIL that my child is not growing but just retaining liquids at too big a number.

Medical ethicist Arthur Kaplan, quoted in the NYT: “The announcement on autism was the saddest display of a lack of evidence, rumors, recyling old myths, lousy advice, outright lies & dangerous advice I have ever witnessed by anyone in authority in the world claiming to know anything about science”

The president's recommendations could put children in harm's way. Even if clinical guidance does not change, pregnant people risk hurting themselves and their children when they run fevers and do not treat them. This is a completely avoidable & self-inflicted public health crisis in the making.

Rode my bike home via a different route today. Took a turn and was met with a field full of buffalo. (It’s not a great picture because it’s backlit but I’m going to ride by again tomorrow)

If the rapture happens tomorrow know that I am spending my time doing what I love: being salty about regressions

Friends don't let friends report only beta-hats and call it a day.

Once more: the best evidence shows that Tylenol taken during pregnancy is not harmful. **This question is settled.** The benefit of reducing discomfort and fever is extremely important at a time when the fetus is developing.

Good: Got both my Covid and flu shots yesterday. Bad: Getting rocked by both, feel like I got hit by a bus. Good: Still love vaccines!

RFK is trying to blame mothers from using one of the only things allowed to them to handle pain during pregnancy.

Earlier this year, ProPublica found that the sepsis rate in second-trimester pregnancy loss hospitalizations increased by more than 50% under Texas’ abortion ban. Here’s how we did our analysis. (Published Feb. 2025)

More like oops- sec …I’ll show myself out

I feel like we're operating at a rate of a Watergate-and-a-half a week.

I long for the day when this podcast is no longer relevant. But if you're still trying to understand sex testing and gender in sports, I made this for you. There are transcripts on the site if you don't like listening to stuff.

Against defeatism.

I know we keep focusing on Colbert and Kimmel as we should, but we also need to remember there are hundreds of people who work for these shows who also just lost their jobs because of this bullshit, and most of them are probably not millionaires.

I cannot fathom being this thin skinned.

Although Rav Eleazar Ben Azariah adds: "Of course, but don't forget R. Olson, R. Zaller, & R. Converse. In them the truth is also found."

NPR wants to hear from listeners whose lives have changed due to an increase in ICE operations, throughout the country.

On June 24, I began my Election Night speech by quoting Mandela: “It always seems impossible until it’s done.” That's the spirit of this campaign, and our city. This is "Until It’s Done,” a new series about New Yorkers who refused to accept that a worthy goal was impossible.

Google glass tried to make fetch happen, and yet

A mainstream outlet finally does more than repeat the official BS statement from ICE about the shooting of Silvero Villegas-Gonzalez. This man's death should be a national scandal. Grateful for indy journalists who questioned the official narrative that corporate outlets mindlessly echoed last week.

Checking in on the Discourse to see that sports folks are upset about men consensually pushing another man's butt. And I say, let them push.
