Acetaminophen/paracetamol use in pregnancy doesn't cause autism, no matter what RFK says this week. This is not an unsettled question. Evidence summarized here: sciencebasedmedicine.org/tylenol-and-...

Here are some things that Charlie Kirk said in his life. The man is dead, and so it only seems fair to share his legacy by cataloguing the values he spread while alive.

Wooooooooooo

@kenwhite.bsky.social random question but - I'm cleaning up my podcast feed and just wondering if there're any plans for additional Make No Law episodes or if I'm safe to remove it from my list?

So... Peacock/NBC went to commercial instead of showing protesters at the Vuelta??

Movie theater employee (when I was 14!). Tickets, concessions, etc. $5.15/hr, paid in cash, with a timecard stamped to the exact minute.

It is still August wtf

IMO, the answer is two-fold. One, I have a moral duty/obligation, as a human, to care for others. Two, it's not like these votes are unanimous. There are plenty of people in these areas who didn't vote that way.

If you want to help ensure the next 20 years of FanGraphs, might I interest you in a Membership? It's the best way to both support and experience the site, and it comes with a ton of great benefits!

See the *really* exciting thing would've been if she'd announced that Aaron Dessner was the producer of the new album. Ah well.

"Mr. Black’s lawyers and some medical experts warned that the device might shock him repeatedly, attempting to keep him alive, during the execution" Sure seems like there's no possible ethical way to have the State kill people and we just should abolish such barbaric practice but hey what do I know

Seriously though why does the Wes Anderson back catalogue disappear from subscription streaming services after Fantastic Mr. Fox?

Ended with Transatlanticism as any good Death Cab show should. I do miss Chris Walla tho

THE VIBES, THEY ARE SOOOOOO GOOD

I've reached The Darjeeling Limited in my Wes Anderson career re-watch, and so far (roughly halfway in) it's definitely better than I remember it being

Josh Hamilton recently pled guilty to flying into a rage and assaulting his daughter, but a Pride Night is a bridge too far

Imagine cruising along there at anything close to the speed limit, in the bike lane, and one of those cars opens their door

I assume this is a weird and unpopular opinion, and also one that no one will care about, but since it's coming up at the moment at my house -- the Wallflowers' cover of "Heroes", from the '97 Godzilla soundtrack, is superior to the Bowie original.

Okay it was situationally helped by the rain and the early time-taking but still, the tour should finish that way every year, that was incredible

Just a quick aside, I hope zwift adds the Montmartre climb to their Paris routes

The softball LLWS NW regional final was maybe the best softball game I've ever seen, I am SHAKING at how tense and thrilling it was

That was boring.

Hulk Hogan ratted out other wrestlers attempting to unionize to save his own position and paycheck above anyone else's & gladly accepted funding from Peter Thiel for his Gawker court case that paved frequently abused legal precedents for the rich to shut down any media outlets that embarrass them.

"Done with Costco by 9:40 on a Sunday" is an INCREDIBLE way to start a suburban dad weekend day

I was just about to post that I need to read something about Roglic's off equipment choices today but I guess this is it?

CRAZY.

If Google maps calls my drive home "heavier than usual traffic" literally every day maybe they should reframe what usual means

Keep it the hell away from baseball that counts but that is an awesome way to do the ASG

Changing my position on the bike the night before a 207 mile ride is a terrible idea so why am I doing it anyway

Not saying we deserved to win after imploding but pitch five here probably should've been game over right

We Have the Facts, Death Cab Photo Album, Death Cab Castaways & Cutouts, Decemberists Crane Wife, Decemberists Separation Sunday, Hold Steady Boys & Girls In America, Hold Steady Stay Positive, Hold Steady Midnight Organ Fight, Frightened Rabbit Alligator, The National Boxer, The National

DAMMIT GOOGLE I DO NOT WANT YOUR OFFER TO "SUMMARIZE THIS EMAIL" ON A TWO-SENTENCE EMAIL FROM MY KID'S TEACHER

What a stage finish!

Don't love the men's UBC team on the sidelines of the women's championship chanting "Choke! Choke! Choke!" incessantly whenever their team doesn't have the disc

S-Y-Z-Y-G-Y-GO! S-Y-Z-Y-G-Y-GO!

Oh fun. Here's mine -- until FAR too recently I thought it was "make end's meat". Kind of like, earn just enough for the scraps/ends of the meat, not the good stuff. I still tend to accidentally think of if that way when I hear it because old habits die so hard.

Easiest and best way to get your work seen by team folks, hands down

If any literary agents follow me #onhere, my wife @maiaknp.bsky.social has completed her 1st novel titled “The Last Prom on Earth” & is trying to find representation to help get it published maiaknolan.com/workwithme/ Anyone who ISN’T an agent or publisher but might know some, please signal boost!

Holy cow, give me this crazy Giro quad-view thing for every sprint finish ever, that was such good watching

Sure, why not. Full disclosure: I've never used ChatGPT in any component of my professional output, or for personal amusement, and I never will. It is an intellectual carcinogen and my disdain for it and its advocates is absolute.

My kid broke her very first expensive bat tonight. Hope warranty covers it, it's only two months and a weird break

Immediately and fully disqualifying for Gillibrand, if you needed another reason

Flanders Classics really needs to strike a deal with either NBC or <shudders> WB Discovery, I refuse to subscribe to flo sports for three races a year
