I spoke extensively with the Crimson reporter. She understood the strength of the evidence, and it shows. Odds ratios can be eye-glazing, but let's just say that when 2.5 million kids are studied, and it's still not possible to detect added risk from taking acetaminophen...there's no added risk.

here’s an easy way to do a good thing the homie @irathethird.bsky.social had an apartment fire that destroyed all his belongings give something if you can gofund.me/ea7efaa71

Here's pretty much the best article out there to look at whether acetaminophen use by mom is associated with an increased risk of autism spectrum disorder in baby. tl;dr: no detectable risk in a study of 2.5 million kids. drive.google.com/drive/folder...

So, spouse and I couldn't bear not having a pug. We've had at least one for the last 25 years. So now we have Bernice (Bernie), a sweet little spitfire nugget. We still miss Neddy so very much, but it's really nice to have pug energy in the house again.

RESULT: Adelita Grijalva is heading to Congress. The Democrat has won the #AZ07 special election very easily, and she will replace her father Raúl Grijalva. AP just called it. Among other things, Grijalva is expected to be the 218th person to sign the Epstein discharge position.

They still haven't consolidated full authoritarianism yet; they can still lose

I need a pair of underwear that say "You Probably Think This Thong Is About You"

obviously the internet has become awful etc etc but I've just really enjoyed this gaming streamer I watch excusing himself briefly so he could stretch and walk for a bit, explaining that he needed to "unshrimp", something I'd never heard before but got immediately, isn't language great

Disney/ABC have a responsibility to refuse to participate in corruption. Kimmel must be reinstated. If Disney/ABC agree to this extortion then perhaps creatives + workers should consider collective action to push back. Same w/buying park + cruise tickets if they bow. People have power. Ask Target

I miss my Neddy boy so much. I saw a double rainbow tonight. Doris has been especially Orange today.

I like this. Since under RFK Jr, Covid shots are now for people with underlying conditions that put them at risk, Michigan’s chief medical executive Dr. Natasha Bagdasarian states that not having the most recent Covid shot constitutes such an underlying condition. www.michigan.gov/mdhhs/inside...

He’s at a mosque today and not still in jail, in large part because ordinary people didn’t let up. Just remember that bsky.app/profile/swin...

I'm always amazed at the ways grief fucks with your body in addition to being emotionally painful.

In an abusive relationship, the perpetrator makes the biggest power grabs when he feels his control over the victim is slipping. I’m keeping that in mind whenever we see massive escalations from Trump. It’s all still very dangerous. But these moments are a sign of weakness, not strength.

Ranked choice voting means you actually get to vote for what you want. I’m ranking Davis 1st because I like him. I’m ranking Omar 2nd because I think he’s the most likely to win and I agree with his policies the most. I’m ranking Jazz 3rd bc not ranking all 3 is a vote for Frey! We deserve better!

Jessica does such good work identifying the nonsense. Give her a follow.

I think one of the better, more subtle tributes to Robert Redford's life is the string of utterly iconic female co-stars who've come forward to eulogize him; each of them take-no-shit types like Fonda and Streisand, and every one of them without a single bad thing to say. A model for male behavior

Like for everybody who fears that they’re going to station ICE agents at every polling place, we need to understand what that means. Not that they won’t try to fuck with elections, but this country is really fucking big and they don’t have the capacity to do this even under generous assumptions.

Exactly this. And it is important to overwhelm their systems before they're up and running. The corollary to "courage is contagious" is that everyone has to stand up *early*, not wait for others to go first. The sooner everyone demonstrates that their machine can't possibly do this, the better.

im getting really tired of everything being bad bc like 12 ppl can't fill the hole in their hearts despite being billionaires

i would listen to the person who has literally written the book on this more than anyone melting down on main, fwiw

The Dept of Education is now accepting comments on a proposed rule that would overhaul Public Service Loan Forgiveness, and make it too expensive for students to go into work that threatens the Trump administration Folks have til *Sept. 17* to oppose the changes ballsandstrikes.org/legal-cultur...

We can get to 1000. Please continue to share this to show the DFL that we mean MN is a trans refuge state.

this is an object lesson in why praising Dems when they do the right thing - and not just castigating them for doing the wrong thing - is good politics for those of us who want them to fight Van Hollen raised his profile by doing the right thing and the lesson he learned was keep fighting

I'm sick of being sweaty. We had a week of not-sweaty weather and it was nice. Rude it's back to sweaty.

I would like my sleep and my ability to eat to go back to where I was in July. Grief fucks you up in really annoying ways.

Minneapolis, this goal isn't anywhere near large enough to support this very young child through losing his Mom in the crash he survived. We need to burst it open & be sure he's taken care of.

Cackled so hard at a meme it upset Doris and she got off my lap

I don’t want to keep the Ann Kim thing going endlessly, so I’ll wrap today by a) thanking @biketrouble.bsky.social for her brilliant piece; I really need my faith in journalism restored lately & b) presenting the relevant NLRB section ruling to dismiss, as damning to Kim as the ruling is perplexing.

This week has been a long year. But you know what to do. 😍

this old car looks like a roly poly bug

The New Mexico Department of Health has issued a standing order that expands access to updated COVID-19 vaccines by allowing healthcare providers and pharmacists to vaccinate anyone six months and older without requiring individual prescriptions. You can get a copy here:

I just saw a video/recipe for brown butter cinnamon roll focaccia. I need it but don't have the time/energy to make it.

It is a fact that Melissa Hortman was a public servant who helped people of all stripes, and a demagogue who preached white supremacy was a selfish hate-monger who helped no-one.

Well, I guess this is a perfect opportunity to announce my li'l cookbook, out in a few weeks! It's called *After the Feast* and has recipes for using up Thanksgiving leftovers in tasty ways. The PDF will be FREE and print copies raise $$ for Qajukturvik Community Food Centre! ivacheung.com/books/

Once again thinking about Macaulay Culkin walking into the Parisian café where the wifi password was “Macaulay Culkin” and the owner saying “I knew you’d come here someday”

I think it is always worth mentioning that Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark were killed with their beloved dog Gilbert: www.nytimes.com/2025/06/27/u...

Dude, Debbie Gibson looks fantastic!

I know it can feel like it doesn’t do anything, but consider it therapeutic of nothing else to reach out to your rep

Found this little fellow outside peering into our house tonight. 😂

I didn’t know about this, and if I didn’t know about this, then you probably didn’t either. This should be my entire feed and it’s not and that’s a problem  This sit in has now been going on over 48 hours and I am just hearing about it now 1/

responding to fascist threats with strength and power rooted in community WORKS. in order for fascist rhetoric to work, the target of their ire has to be painted as weak and ineffectual. standing on business like Pritzker has done here is unironically the ONLY thing that works.

Getting 1 million people in the streets in one city is a massive organizing feat. Feel free to stomp your feet in the mentions.

If you don't even know where to start, check out the #DidThisToday hashtag where folks post some of the practical things they're doing to make the world a little better and push back against fascism. Lots of great, easy things to do there.

But pick the handful of things you know about and care about and speak up and share info. And not just share fucking memes. Use your platform to share practical action items. Because there's TONS folks are doing and a million ways any one of us can start to help out.

The time is now. Right now. Time for literally all of us to push back against fascism. You don't have to and literally can't do EVERYTHING. Don't worry about that! Just pick the one or two issues/things you know and care about and join the people who are doing practical things to help.

I am so annoyed the mac and cheese kits I get say to add the pasta to the bechamel before the shredded cheese.
