Surprise Aesop Rock album?? SURPRISE AESOP ROCK ALBUM!!!

Dr. El-Deiry put up a slide with case reports of highly disparate cancers that happened to occur after COVID19 vaccination. He falsely claimed that there are no studies of cancer after COVID19 vaccination. None of the massive US vaccine safety systems have ever detected an increase in cancer.

If you want the 90s rock equivalent of driving a rusted out Honda Accord at top speed down the side of a mountain, the wheels nearly falling off, only to successfully pull off a jump over 100-foot chasm, do yourself a favor and listen to Winder by Hum at top volume. Makes me want to run thru walls

Thinking about the “pod” with only one episode of Alien Earth left …

Remember when the navy was used for an extrajudicial murder of people on a civilian ship from a country with whom we are not at war and then provided no proof for justification? And nothing happened? And our VP commented by saying he didn’t care if it was illegal? Things are going great, guys

Best way to address gun violence after a crazy person shot up the CDC? Oh, I don’t know … how about we decimate the VIOLENCE PREVENTION GROUP?!? This is just so incredibly disgusting. I hate everything.

American Academy of Pediatrics has released our annual update to our immunization recommendations to best help children and adolescents build immunity and stay healthy. Read our full policy statement to learn about AAP's updated immunization schedule. www.aap.org/en/news-room...

Mood these last few months

“Okay, I know that the admin is targeting science it doesn’t agree with, but we’re not Harvard or Columbia, so I’m sure we’ll be fine. No reason to get all worked up … what was that? … well, shit.”

For some reason I’m subjecting myself to listening to ACIP. This thimerosal talk is a highlight of anti-vax bullshit. All to discuss something that has been removed from almost all vaccines. It’s just a scare tactic to lend an air of legitimacy to skepticism of ALL vaccines. I hate everything.

We’ve been using VE for years as a marker for effectiveness with multiple exposures to vaccines or infection. Great COVID VE data presented at ACIP … first question from Kulldorf: “what about RTC?” Jesus Christ this is an embarrassing indication of where ACIP is headed.

Lyn Redwood? Who works with anti-vax Children’s Defense Funds? Presenting to the ACIP? On thimerosal? This is so infuriating!

Oh, she just happened to get “hit by” a rubber bullet, CNN? Really leaning hard into the passive voice. Why not just go ahead and say that federal agents shot an Australian reporter?!? JFC, at some point you’re going to need to stop carrying water for this cursed administration, cowards.

Welcome to America in 2025

DeLauro uses her opening statement to tear Russ Vought a new one

South Florida meteorologist @johnmoralestv.bsky.social told his viewers live on air that he can no longer accurately predict hurricane season, due to federal government cuts.

Dr. Panagiotakopoulos said, “My career in public health and vaccinology started with a deep-seated desire to help the most vulnerable members of our population, and that is not something I am able to continue doing in this role”. www.cbsnews.com/news/cdc-off...

Deaths from heart disease down 75%, that’s NIH. Deaths from stroke down 75%, that’s NIH. HIV/AIDS no longer a death sentence, that’s NIH. 99% of FDA approved drugs in the last decade, that’s NIH. Please show this video to anyone who doesn’t understand why the NIH is so important.

Well this is disturbing. What’s this all about …

Elon backtracked on DOGE savings goals from $1 trillion to $150 billion. But watchdogs report only $12.6 billion in verifiable savings. That represents just 0.173% of the U.S. federal budget for 2025. We're losing vital government services for basically nothing in return.

Breaking news: The United States faces millions of measles cases over the next 25 years if vaccination rates for the disease drop 10 percent, according to new research published Thursday.

All so that the richest can get a tax cut. Just disgusting.

Federal funding cuts, though temporarily blocked by a judge, have upended vaccination outreach across the country, including in Arizona, Minnesota, Nevada, Texas, and Washington state.

@maddow.msnbc.com Tucson came out by the thousands for the #HandsOff protest, and had a great time.

20,000 HHS employees, gone in the blink of an eye. Kids getting treated for vitamin A toxicity on the advice of a charlatan. Funds for local public health efforts vaporized. A larger measles outbreak continuing to spread. Hope your vote for RFK Jr. was worth it, Bill Cassidy.

In Atlanta for a conference, and guys … these HHS cuts are really hurting the CDC

We’re all about to see what happens when the head of HHS believes that miasmas are the cause of most disease and that germ theory is a hoax.

The Navajo code talkers are a perfect example of how our nation’s diversity is a STRENGTH. (And that Native Americans have served honorably a country that has treated the poorly) Ignoring this is stupid and pointless (other than racism, which I guess is the point). Everything is so sad and dumb.

We regret to inform that St Patrick’s Day has been cancelled. All Leprechauns were detained at Logan Airport and will be deported to a prison camp in El Salvador. When reached for comment, Elon Musk cackled as he loaded pots of gold into a cybertruck (which proceeded to break down under the weight)

these are our party leaders now, ignore all other opinions

I know there are a lot more pressing issues right now, but I have never in my life seen a moment more ripe to finally get term limits passed. R’s hate McConnell, D’s hate Schumer. These octogenarian clueless politicians are too afraid to upset their long term buddies to really fight for us.

The richest man in the world gave a 22 year old without a security clearance everyone in America’s social security and tax information and Senate Democrats did absolutely fuck all in response. Incredible work everyone.

I called Jonathan Lucroy about a year and a half ago for a story. He didn't pick up. Instead of Lucroy’s Southern drawl, I heard the comforting cadence of a Bob Uecker broadcast. I wrote about the former Brewers who had Uecker record their voicemail greetings:

Democratic Senator Chris Murphy on Mahmoud Khalil.

FACT: #Medicaid covers nearly half of all births in the country, and around two-thirds of nursing home stays. FACT: About 1 in 5 Americans rely on Medicare or #Medicaid to cover healthcare expenses. FACT: Republicans just passed a bill requiring DEEP cuts to these programs.

Call Senators Kelly and Gallego today! Senator Kelly's DC voicemail is full. Call his Arizona offices: 602-671-7901 & 520-475-5177. bsky.app/profile/aoc....

RFK Jr. went on Hannity last night and continued his crusade against MMR vaccines. “It used to be when you and I were kids, everybody got measles," Kennedy told Hannity. "And measles gave you protection, lifetime protection against measles…a vaccine doesn’t do that…”

The Trump administration has terminated $800 million in grants to Johns Hopkins University, spurring the nation’s top spender on research and development to plan layoffs and cancel health projects

Two truths and a lie Truth: There are adverse events from MMR and all vaccines. Truth: People die, albeit very, very, VERY rarely. BIG FUCKING LIE: the MMR does NOT cause measles or any sequelae. It prevents measles. It’s safe and effective. Measles disables & kills children. Vaccinate your kids

“Decades of research and hundreds of carefully designed and scientifically sound studies show no link or association between vaccines and autism.” www.idsociety.org/news--public...

if we make it through this one thing i know is i don't want to hear another goddamn word about the constitution from conservatives
