this archetype remains undefeated

Kimmel's show put together a montage of Trump insisting dozens of times yesterday to "DON'T TAKE TYLENOL." Complete insanity.

i challenge you to find cooler news today than “despite all odds against American scientific research rn, a CO researcher developed a temperature-stable, single dose rabies vaccine that works bc of particles coated in CANDY & SAPPHIRE, & it could help reduce rabies deaths in places w/o electricity”

Today the President rejected a meeting on preserving healthcare and avoiding a government shutdown, then hours later demanded a federal inquiry into why he had to walk up normal stairs instead of stairs that move. 1,216 days to go.

@keezyyoung.bsky.social Oh, my. I am in Sky’s chapter now, and she’s so funny!

Cover art for Mirrored Heavens by Rebecca Roanhorse, commissioned by @thebrokennbinding All three covers are announced now!

Health and science reporters should lead the coverage of all these health-related conspiracy theories & newsroom leaders should keep their both-sides political reporters out of their way.

this is a wild mage hyena

New brain painting with a new ink color. I did the first layer (with the text) in burnt sienna, then added the blue over that. I love how there are little holes where the text peeks though artologica.etsy.com/listing/4374...

I've said this before, but I feel pretty strongly that the building of concentration camps - and now, the inevitable disappearance of 1,800 people from those camps - is the biggest story in American public health right now that isn't being treated like one

trump’s UN speech is indistinguishable from the type of shit your lunatic fox-watching uncle says that gets him disinvited from family functions

big part of this is because they sent the health reporters, not the political reporters

I've been in a mitochondrial groove lately. Check out these brand new beauties. All original paintings, one of each #Sciart artologica.etsy.com/listing/4374...

The rapture isn't coming. At least, not like this. The crows know.

In absolutely horrible news I learned this morning that Hany was killed in an air strike- he was driving people from the North to the South when it happened. This is one of the last messages he sent me 💔 He leaves behind 8 kids, he was only 48 and he was very kind.

They didn’t laugh at him this time. They just sat there with stone faces and slack-jawed inability to process it.

Today, in 49 CE, Caesar crossed here on his way from Beaver Lake to Milwaukee.

"Where Nixon had to contend with a Supreme Court that rejected his claim of absolute immunity and a Congress that stood ready to impeach him, the other branches of govt these days have no interest in reining in Trump. He can do a Watergate every week safe in the knowledge that no one will stop him."

Gaaaaahh! Even with this bullshit, the world is adding a gigawatt of renewable power every day. It would be nice if the US were, too.

A good thread, but also a reminder for a lot of other folks that it's not a good sign when the federal employees you know already have a series of codified practices for when they are required to stop working because of congressional disfunction.

I am prepared for the raptor I have my camera and binoculars at the ready

Irruption.

This is…weird? And backwards? Do they think the government is giving *them* $100k for every H1B visa? I dooooon’t understaaaaand!

MORE NATURE FOR THE NATURE-NEEDERS. This is not a spider but a warning, tomorrow I'm gonna post a super-fucking-cool spider photo, so you are warned. But this is a skipper. Not a spider. Enjoy the skipper. Photo by me.

Yesterday's Tylenol press conference was at "inject bleach" levels of insanity, but it also revealed the plan for cancelling the MMR. Here's how I think this is going to go down. open.substack.com/pub/rasmusse...

Uuuugh. You can pitch "AI for nose hair removal" and have a billion dollars dumped on your head overnight, but perhaps the most important civic function in democratic politics is starving to death.

These Pygmy Nuthatches visited our campsite's water spigot this morning at Tumalo State Park, Deschutes County, Oregon #birding

Mabon blessings to those who celebrate

Ilya Kuryakin was—along with Mr. Spock on Star Trek—my first real crush.

So many coverups. Release the Epstein files. Release the Homan tapes. Release the Venezuelan fishing boats evidence.

It's all fun and games until a cop handles a Tylenol gelcap with no gloves and within seconds their socks are bothering them.

Oh dear. It seems Dr. Oz’s company sells Trump‘s big autism cure. What a crazy happenstance.

Shana tovah to my Jewish friends and good luck in tomorrow’s Rapture to my Christian ones

once again, if tylenol caused autism, america would have a better rail system

guy who sues the trump administration because he paid $5M in bribes to the treasury rather than bought $5M in trump crypto and can’t get anyone to answer his calls

Realizing that the endpoint here is probably massively scaling back screening for autism spectrum disorders, limiting resources for people who need them, but leading to a decline in cases & declaration of victory. "If we stopped testing right now, we'd have very few cases, if any."

This autism press conference is an insult to science and medicine. It is a bunch of shameless male quacks shoveling bullshit at pregnant women, families and people with autism. This is a historic embarrassment for America and it is wildly dangerous.

Seems too on the nose

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:

Wait, it gets worse. The team of economists and researchers responsible for the USDA survey that measures food insecurity and hunger were put on indefinite paid leave today. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

BREAKING: A federal judge has ordered Trump to restore $500 million in frozen UCLA NIH grants. The same judge, Rita F. Lin, previously ordered all UCLA NSF grants reinstated. Lin has now nearly entirely reversed Trump's July de-funding of UCLA research: www.latimes.com/california/s...

Too late, Batman. Once this Tylenol floods the city's water supply, my wiki won't run out of editors ever again

I know antifa isn't a real organization because I don't get 40 texts a week from them asking for donations.
