i have to say, as a trans journalist who has covered the "trans debate" for about a decade now, there is no daylight between how the trump administration and conservatives lie about tylenol and autism and how they've lied about youth trans care.

if you can look at it without catching poster’s madness, the list of who actually gets engagement here is pretty interesting. somewhat dire at the top but quickly it’s real and high quality posters. bluefacts.app/top-reach

Apple has pulled The Savant, its series starring Jessica Chastain’s about hunting down white supremacist cells across America, from its immediate release schedule.

A 12-foot statue of Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein frolicking and holding hands appeared on the National Mall in Washington, DC on Tuesday, September 23. A plaque under the statue states that it has been erected “In Honor of Friendship Month."

Isaac Chotiner has invited me to sample some delicious Amontillado wine and I don’t know guys but I think I’m going to come out of this interview seeming like *quite* the wine expert

Have we considered the possibility that Chotiner has made some sort of deal with a dark god.

CHOTINER: Let's talk about the 7 plagues RAMESSES II: There were only 3 you can group the animals together CHOTINER: Technically locusts are insects not animals. Did you not see the futility after 2 RII: Everything looked fine from the palace CHOTINER: But then your son died RII: I had 100 more

Trump: "There are no autistic people over seventy." Me: "The first Nero Wolfe novel came out in 1934."

7. This White House advisor is granted anonymity so that they can baselessly slander your pediatrician

the policy landscape of education is bleak dude. GOP want to burn public education to the ground and put kids in megachurch clickfarms or homeschool them so dems are sort of the only game in town if you actually give a shit about schools, and the lib education establishment is plenty flawed

Sure what could go wrong

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

Anybody wanna see a murder

Chotiner right before he puts away the voice recorder, every time

Ever since I was a little girl, I always dreamed of growing up and getting yelled at by strangers on the internet about the word ‘irregardless.’

Oh yeah, well, I say that my company, Me In My Boxer Shorts, inc., wants to create "a factory that produces 100,000,000,000 flying monster trucks with wizards painted on them that can shoot fireballs every week" and I plan to reveal more details this year.

How it started // How it’s going

Trump doesn't actually know this, but he's currently celebrating the various violations of the UN charter that his administration has undertaken

If you think Tylenol is bad for children’s health what until you see what guns do.

I have taken the Tylenol that was in the medicine cabinet and which they think probably is the reason you like trains forgive me but that’s bullshit you got autism from your dad

My personal favorite four down defensive stand.

I regret to inform Disney that they have more time in the desert.

Sometimes it's nice to remember that even Marcus Aurelius was like "you don't have to comment on everything bro"

I was finishing up a great book today (Intermezzo by Sally Rooney). In it two characters discuss fascism’s obsession with purity and contagion and elimination of supposedly impure people. Anyway what’s this about Tylenol?

Remember that this man's grandparents institutionalized his aunt

The government knowingly putting false information in the label of a drug is crossing a Rubicon that should not be taken lightly

I have no idea how law students are supposed take seriously anything they learn in constitutional law when the Supreme Court's entire approach to precedent and stare decisis is just "does Mister Trump want us to overturn it right now" ballsandstrikes.org/scotus/trump...

Trump -11 on immigration now despite every single enlightened centrist intellectual saying Dems should not talk about it because surely public opinion can’t ever change!!

James May is a great example of this: lcc.org.uk/news/intervi...

📽️ WATCH: Epidemiologist Erin McCanlies spent much of the past 20 years studying how parents’ exposure to toxic chemicals affects the chances that they will have an autistic child. RFK Jr. cut her entire division — yet promises to identify the causes of autism by September: https://propub.li/4nhXQua

Boy howdy am I ready to go on a blockfest

I think what editorial people in the media need to understand is that it’s a lot more subversive nowadays to say people need to take care of one another than it is to say that everyone should be a dickhead

This is why the internet is great

This message is very important to remind ourselves of and to share with other people.

I feel increasingly confirmed in my belief that most if not all of this man’s actions can be attributed to him being enraged that he has chronic illness and can’t privilege his way out of it So he hates his family & hates the medical establishment for putting him in this position and not fixing him

Just 2 gun rights advocates sitting behind a wall of bulletproof glass while enjoying a memorial for a gun rights advocate who got murdered by a gun.

One stark marker of how much our society has devolved in just a few years is Bob Iger personally got on a call to convince us to let Disney/HULU make the 1619 Project. That America no longer exists.

A rich and powerful man voluntarily bearing a cross onstage, but adding wheels so it's not remotely difficult, is the perfect picture for our country.

Thanks John Oliver

Trump’s base will fight tooth and nail to shut down their own hospitals

All the super straight, Christian, MAGA warriors broke down Grindr, the gay dating/sex app, yet again. The last time it broke down...the RNC in Wisconsin.

Everything about this headline is hilarious. And the YouTube views are a reflection of how wildly the right has overblown the number of people paying attention.

*clears throat* AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

corporate leaders prefer it to having to keep their hands off their secretaries

I'm not the world's foremost expert on Christianity but I'm pretty sure the the man who told us to "render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and unto God the things that are God" would not be OK with the use of the Lord's Prayer to glorify military conquest

I have this working theory (which could be confirmed or refuted by evidence, I'm not married to it) that: 1. Hazing is stupid and cruel 2. Steven Miller was inadequately hazed
