so I know, arrrgg!! but also why weren't the flags lowered upon the death of Anthony Bourdain? I only heard of him second-hand, but it sounds like he was a kind person and THAT GAL CAN COOOOK! I'm sorry he died. I never watched him, but it seems like he made a mean taco. what did Kirk do?

I'm sorry, and I know the lyrics are problematic, but I feel strongly that PYT (Pretty Young Thing) by Michael Jackson is the best song in human history.

I wish they'd make pot legal where I live. bc otherwise I'm gonna need to sort it out myself, when I see myself in the mirror while using my Oral-B spinning toothbrush.

why is to grocery not a verb yet?

ppl are like: oohhh, Trump is bad. Yes, sliding into an authoritarian fascist regime is awful. We should all be screaming from the rooftops. Do It! also, let's take care of ourselves, too, right? and loved ones. And expand our circle of LOVED ONES. also, SUPPORT KIDS. They're like, um WTF?

I love kids! they're wild and hilarious, and invent scary pranks. I love them. My neighbor's kids are amazing, Man her 5-yr old can drive a soccer ball into that net like nobody's business! Bad Ass. And apparently now, she just made her own drum set from plastic Home Depot buckets.

2025: they're not allowed to do that. are they?

Let me be clear. As someone who has been professionally involved with the biodefense / biosecurity sector for nearly 20 years, and has worked on biological risk analysis for Covid-19 since early 2020, reducing one's risk of being infected is not health anxiety. It's just smart.

Get a shot, protect your brain? Maybe so! 🔹️The 4 vaccines for which research notes an association w/ lower rates of dementia: flu, shingles, RSV & Tdap (tetanus, diphtheria & pertussis) 🔹️Causality isn't confirmed, b/c "people who get vaccines may be... 1/2 www.washingtonpost.com/wellness/202...

what do they call the phase of life when you're just like - Aw Man. after high school I shoulda wandered, or maybe learned a string instrument from our neighbor who always sat there on the porch. I think they call it the burnout/regret phase, but I'm not sure and I won't look it up bc I'm tired.

hooray! this is something we can all get behind. Our country unites, at last, around a common value. The nation can now heal. A 50% tariff on kitchen cabinets. Thank you, orange Jesus! (sorry, gallows humor. this mf is dangerous. HOW would it look different if he did NOT want to dismantle the US?)

um, what now? today I shall ask for a raise.

“It is neglect of the highest order to look children in the eyes and say ‘we knew how to protect you, but we didn’t.’” A powerful speech from Violet Affleck.

poetry. pure poetry. Turns Out Trump’s Own Team Messed Up U.N. Escalator and Teleprompter A U.N. official says Donald Trump’s team was responsible for the “broken” escalator and teleprompter he complained about incessantly. newrepublic.com/post/200833/...

I learned more about physics from a man named Julius Sumner Miller than any other source — and it's because his show is one of the funniest, most memeable things you've ever seen. I cut up the best episode . If you have 2m50s, watch it all. You won't regret it.

alright people, it's time to figure out dinner.

Yall wanna know whats been the hardest thing ive come to learn as a climate justice activist, is how deliberate the destruction of our environment has been. Especially in predominantly Black areas of the world.

Just being a mediocre white man isn’t enough anymore to guarantee you a 4 bedroom home and enough money to support a family, and they aren’t even smart enough to know that mediocre white men are the entire reason that is the case

Any company that says were like a family..... Run for it. Means its toxic.

acetaminophen is woke.

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

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.

let the woo grifting begin. Pregnant ppl needing pain relief will be sold tinctures & tonics. Already long lists of "alternative pain relievers" online -essential oils, herbs, etc. Probably ineffective and, as supplements, COMPLETELY UNREGULATED, may contain dangerous levels of heavy metals etc. ☹️

"Hepatitis B is sexually transmitted, no reason to give a baby hepatitis B. Wait until the baby is 12 years old and formed and give them hepatitis B."

Thinking about the side-glares and passive aggressive ques directed toward moms across the US at Sunday dinner. "So, dear, did you hear the news about Tylenol?" kid pipes up: "What news, grandma??" mom gets up, crushes four Tylenol between two spoons, and sniffs it. "Desert anyone?" the end.

in shock about the ridiculous, fact-free press conf yesterday on Tylenol? Keep in mind that Trump knows as much about science as he does about: economics, diplomacy, infrastructure, education, energy tech, international relations... and u know, *gestures in large sweeping motion* HOW STUFF WORKS.

I wonder if the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists will be among the woke radical left groups they go after. (actually, it's very possible this joke will not age well 😔)

Trump has probably bought stocks when they were down and will make a lot of money when it will be up again when people will find all that is false.

A large (2.5M+) sibling control analysis that found "no evidence of increased risk of autism, ADHD, or intellectual disability associated with acetaminophen use" seems to be the kind of data that requires serious consideration before declaring mission accomplished. jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

I took Tylenol as needed throughout my pregnancy. I am a doctor. I order Tylenol for pregnant women regularly. Tylenol is safe in pregnancy. RFK Jr is ignoring a huge recent well-done study because he doesn't like the answer it gives. There is no causality between Tylenol and autism.

I didn't cancel Disney+ with the idea of re-joining if they reinstated Kimmel. I cancelled my subscription out of disgust for their kowtowing. No way will they ever have my business again. They didn't suddenly grow a spine, they lost billions of dollars. good. they deserve to lose it.

how long til Dr. Oz promotes his "herbal alternative" to Tylenol?

“Federal regulators can fine hospitals hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars if too many of their patients get hospital-acquired infections. Some hospital leaders, realizing that if they don’t look for infections, they won’t find them, are discouraging testing, clinicians told STAT”

This is both riveting and hilarious. I think I might have accidentally learned something too. 10/10 #video youtube.com/watch?v=WRfs...

"I’m free today because of this advocacy,” Soliman said. “Don’t underestimate your voice."

Children's hospital chaplain Ayman Soliman, whose detention sparked a community uproar and became a test of counterterrorism powers in immigration court, was released from an Ohio jail Friday as DHS abruptly withdrew its case against him. “This is beyond my dreams,” he told ProPublica.

sunny, windy Sunday here🌤️. Thinking about decisions, big and small. I think we put a lot of weight on the "big ones" (where to live, who to marry, jobs to accept or leave). But maybe the little ones matter more (how to spend my mornings, whether to cook today, etc). those are the foundation, yes?

You can spend today seeking a way to support and uplift the many marginalized groups that Kirk demonized and harmed.

Hey DOJ, today would be a great day to honor Charlie Kirk by releasing the Epstein Files. KIRK: "The DOJ should immediately move to unseal all the Epstein documents in the SDNY. I think every file should be released to the public."

The only practical application of hacky sack skills in human history.

"Do it for Charlie!" 🙂

The Trump administration is weaponizing local police departments across the country through a program called 287(g), which allows officers to profile and detain people for immigration enforcement and ultimately deportation. Congress must stop funding this program immediately.

My literary agent said yes to my next book about the illegal Border Patrol coverup teams. Proposal due end of year.

While LCRW gives live updates from the Kirk memorial, I’ll be giving updates from outside. Follow along for both (if you care lol). This sums up the energy outside — lots of trash, lots of bad merch, medical emergencies everywhere you look. Also content warning because the bigots are out in force.

The key thing I’m really taking away from this is that Tom Homan might have the lowest fees in the whole administration.
