On the ICE shooting. 1. It's terrible. 2. Too many disturbed people have access to too many guns in this country. 3. Too many political figures use incendiary and dehumanizing rhetoric. By far the most significant of them is the president. The fish of political violence rots from the head down.

Still one of the best #Australia #guncontrol #USA clickhole.com/the-cost-of-...

We have always been at war with Tylenol

Look, it’s Heroin and Adderall ganging up on Tylenol.

I am starting to think it’s bad that we have an executive branch made up of 90% podcasters

joining the war on autism on the side of autism

none of this anti-science nonsense is remotely funny except perhaps for this bit

We are fast becoming a banana republic, with two standards of justice. If you oppose the leader, you go to jail just for speech. If you're a loyalist, you get immunity for your crimes. That's what happens in Iran - not the United States. This is a decision moment for America.

Our review just out: Associations Between Common Hip and Knee Osteoarthritis Treatments and All-Cause Mortality www.mdpi.com/2227-9032/13... Key finding: Exercise and GLP-1 RA prescription are associated with reduced all-cause mortality. @drjohnorchard.bsky.social

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.

Again, Most "unfair muscle mass " in sports, is straight cis boys taking steroids. Most "gender affirming care for children," is straight cis boys getting gyno surgery to remove the unwanted boobs that they grew, because they took steroids. 🙂🙃 No one really cares about "fairness in sports." 🤷🏿‍♂️

Queensland: Measles Outbreak in Far North Queensland 4 new cases have been confirmed, including QLD Health staff members, taking total infections to 7. Cairns Hospital says an infectious person spent 8+ hrs in maternity ward. Masks now mandatory in nursery, maternity, cancer care & ICU units.

We are witnessing a full blown war on science, public health & truth itself. Let me be clear: Vaccines have prevented more than 1.1 million deaths, 500 million cases of illness & 32 million hospitalizations. That's a lot of moms and dads who don't have to bury their children.

This graph shows a U.S. public health triumph: near-elimination of pediatric hepatitis B through universal birth vaccination. After 30 years of extraordinary progress, ACIP tomorrow considers dismantling it. Medical justification: none. Consequences: catastrophic. www.cdc.gov/acip/downloa...

What we call things reveals a lot about our priorities and biases. Graphic via @reenamahajan.bsky.social

So if anti-fascists are Trump’s political enemies, what does that make Trump?

Pa.'s 2 senators, including alleged Dem Fetterman, picked the wrong week to tell Americans not to talk about fascism, Hitler The shredding of the 1st Amendment that led to gov't coercion to silence Jimmy Kimmel is fast becoming our own Reichstag fire My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/jimm...

Controversial change

What Trump said is a fucking outrage. It’s against democracy. If Donald Trump has his way on this, our democracy is over.

Maybe we shouldn’t have AR-15s 🤷‍♀️

I was far from the first to say this, & I definitely won’t be the last, but it isn’t the evil of Trump, MAGA and the GOP that’s been surprising. They made it clear what they were going to do, for everyone who paid attention & didn’t self-delude. The surprise has been the surrendering, the weakness.

They’re going to kill hundreds of thousands of children.

Late night hosts criticizing the president isn’t new. Having a thin-skinned dictator wannabe who can’t take it is.

I'll say it: against all expectations, the media are covering the Trump censorship story right. They're not pretending it's about Kirk, they're covering Trump as a broad threat to free press and speech, and they're speaking broadly about the stakes. It can be done!

The idea that the combined MMR is dangerous but separately the vaccines are fine was created out of whole cloth by Andrew Wakefield, a disgraced former doctor who had a patent on a non-combined version of the MMR. We've known his research was bunk for almost 30 years.

we need parents everywhere to be calling their reps in congress to protect vaccines + remove RFK Jr they are literally letting random internet cranks dictate your children’s health care

Direct, flagrant, scoffing violation of our Constitution—by a person who swore to preserve and defend our Constitution—is incompatible with fitness for public office for any Liberal or Conservative American. Americans reject suspension of our Constitution. We recognize authoritarianism as poison.

David Frum on Jimmy Kimmel: "This is not cancel culture because it's not culture. It's state repression. It's an order from the government. Here is the script, you must read, if you do not read it, you will be taken off the air."

None of the young male mass shooters and now political assassins I've written about in recent years had stayed in higher education and pursued a bachelor's degree. Crazy enough, it's almost like college is a positive socializing force, not a radicalizing one

I wrote about what I think is a genuinely revealing document of elite depravity and impunity. It is shocking and sickening. But it's also a crucial moment. We're about to see what happens when conspiracy theorists actually get what they asked for but it turns out not to be what they want.

Climate change is like gravity - you may not believe in it but you are still bound by its laws. We are constantly being told to Meet People Where They Are when where they are is 16th Century Pisa burning Galileo www.thetimes.com/article/a339...

Of all the unqualified extremists Donald Trump has appointed to his cabinet, RFK Jr., as of now, poses the most direct threat to the nation.

It’s that time of year again. Back to school for the kids. This ad should run during every NFL kickoff, every college football opener, every “Friday Night Lights.” Because school shootings are as American as football now.

Great news 🎉, David has now posted this 🎯 blog article on his website too: COVID Isn’t a Cold. It’s Cigarettes All Over Again (Sept 7, 2025) www.notesforfriends.com/p/covid-isnt...
