my crazy view is that the vesting clause mostly reflects one of the live debates during the convention, which was whether the executive would be a single person or some kind of executive council. that's it!

So if you ever wanted to hear me blather on about myself for an hour now's your chance. youtube.com/watch?v=tgBw...

Why are the American president's claims about autism the first item on British news bulletins? He's not our president, the advice doesn't apply here and he's not presented any evidence to support his assertions. So why spread these claims? What make this the biggest story in the UK?

Something I’ve been thinking about: History as a profession has long relied on affiliation. Your university or museum pays your salary, and in return, you give time to edit journals, peer review articles, write book reviews, consult on exhibits, and volunteer for institutional support. 1/

DISNEY: "OK, we are putting Jimmy Kimmel back on the air. You can resubscribe now." ME: "I unsubscribed because you immorally bowed to fascism. I'm not going to resubscribe because you immorally bowed to finances."

🚨🚨"If another missile or aircraft enters our space without permission, deliberately or by mistake, and gets shot down and the wreckage falls on NATO territory, please don't come here to whine about it," "You have been warned." @radek-sikorski.bsky.social to #kremlin. www.politico.eu/article/rado...

I am SO sorry to inform you this seems real. Alt text for all quoted images further down thread.

One of my first lab/research jobs in 1985 was for McNeil, makers of Tylenol. Although Tylenol elevates ALT levels (and I don't use it for that reason, preferring Motrin), it is generally regarded as a safe medication. It doesn't cause autism. There's nothing in the formulation that would.

"Neither the companies nor the administration has shared the science backing the claim that recycling nuclear fuel at commercial scale using current industry techniques is safe or practical."

It’s going to take Disney a hell of a lot longer to regain subscribers than it did to lose them. Good luck, Mickey Mouse.

Good hygiene is crucial. “Frequent handwashing, mask use when out in public, avoiding close contact with the sick, and maintaining immunity through a good diet and sleep are crucial measures. Vaccination against the flu season is also recommended,” said Dr Ugalmugle.

NEW: SCOTUS majority says Trump can ignore precedent if the majority doesn't like it. A 90-year-old precedent meant nothing to the majority allowing Trump to fire an FTC commissioner during litigation. This is no way to run a court, let alone a country. Tonight, at Law Dork:

Sinclair is refusing to air Kimmel. @Disney needs to pull their programming. High Potential Abbott Elementary The Rookie Shifting Gears 9-1-1 Will Trent Grey’s Anatomy Dancing with the Stars. PULL THEM ALL FROM SINCLAIR. Leave a gaping hole in their schedule where their ethics aren't.

Farage is more dangerous and extreme than most of us thought as he pledges to end settled status (migrants legally settled here)👇🏼👇🏼 1,000’s of Drs, Surgeons, Nurses, Dentists etc would be deported inc those treating me in hospital each year❌ #NHS waiting lists would rocket❌ Deaths would rocket❌ 😡

Kamala Harris on MSNBC boasts of having been the Democrats’ talent spotter. So Maddow asks about th fastest rising star, Mamdani—& Harris won’t even say his name. Dodges endorsement. “I support the nominee.” But Schumer & Jeffries she praises for standing up to Trump. Hallucinatory malpractice.

Brazil's supreme Court did the right thing and now trump is messing with them. Americans are going to suffer because this type thing is going to make other nations to turn to Brazil and/or other nations despite him, even if that helps China and/or Russia. This may end up making us lower on trade.

the high profile bullshit medical advice is pretty much designed expressly to harm Trump true believers the most. 1

I always suspected Biden's advisors of screwing everything up and Harris pretty much confirmed it tonight.

Steve Silberman is so pissed about this Tylenol bullshit that he's screaming from the afterlife he didn't even believe in. Increased rates of autism are due to testing, a broadened definition, and greater awareness. It's not vaccines. It's not Tylenol. It's like his work never happened.

UPDATE: President Trump and his deputies tied autism to acetaminophen use during pregnancy, presented a cancer drug as a possible treatment, and said the FDA would change labeling to reflect both claims. There is little strong scientific evidence for either.

Meanwhile tonight we start tutoring for neurodivergent child who AFAIKT has no educational assistance in any class. Still waiting on an IPP. Struggles using 2 learning platforms across his corses. $600 month in private tutoring just to get by with 2s and 3s. ‘Berta

We told you.👇🏿

Call me old fashioned, but aren’t both parts of this relationship currently, uh, married to other people?

Howard Ludnick was the CEO of Canter Fitzgerald. He lost 658 employees during 911. The biggest loss of life during 911. He stopped paying employees and their families before they knew they were dead. Of course trump chose him. He's a disgusting Pos.

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

Donald Trump is gambling that he can consolidate authority before the public turns too sharply against him, argues @davidfrum.bsky.social: https://theatln.tc/WVxHWOOI

It seems this is even dumber than I thought. The active ingredient in Tylenol is acetaminophen. Other drugs that have acetaminophen: NyQuil®/DayQuil® Excedrin® Alka-Seltzer Plus® Mucinex® Robitussin® and some others that I didn’t recognize so did not list. But sure guys. Point only at Tylenol. 🙄

The US Senate has introduced the bipartisan Protect Adoptees and American Families Act, formerly known as the Adoptee Citizenship Act. Let's get this enacted so that thousands of intercountry adoptees finally secure US citizenship. 🥚 adopteesunited.org/congress-int...

This isn't snark or a joke. Real people are promoting the end of the world on Tuesday, or maybe Wednesday this week. It's the same "end of times" Christian extremism espoused by former Sec. State Pompeo and US Ambassador to Israel Sanders. All bodes unwell for the USA. www.forbes.com/sites/danidi...

Tried to get my real ID. I had my license, my SS card and my birth certificate. I was not allowed to get my real ID because my birth name is different than my married name. Now I have to go dig up a marriage certificate. You know who wouldn’t have to do this? A man. Never change your last name.

“The country does not want to wake up and look on, with due respect, on Truth Social or X to see what the latest change is in U.S. policy – but wants to get on with what we can control, and that’s a big part of the government strategy.” Yes! Exactly! It’s exhausting.

AUTISM and TYLENOL A study of 2.5 million children showed a small association between acetaminophen use during pregnancy and autism—but this finding DISAPPEARED when full siblings were compared. “Acetaminophen use during pregnancy was not associated with children’s risk of autism…” Full article:

VT just closed its religious studies department.

We Autistic people are stable parts of the human genome. We’ve been here the whole time. We long pre-date Tylenol. Trump and RFK Jr. are ableist and eugenicist bigots spouting debunked nonsense. Our differences are the genius – and the conscience – of our species. stimpunks.org/philosophy/b...

Antifa?

I cannot tell you how grim the AI in higher ed situation is. Many of the students have completely surrendered to letting AI do their homework, badly, I might add. How do you fix this? Truly, what the hell do we do, beyond what grading can address, which isn't a solution?

Do not get me started on us having to constantly write “I don’t know” or “I was adopted”. The forms are SO lazy. And if anyone who sees this post is involved in creating patient materials, please consider this. 🥚 (1/3)

Looking at RFK's recent moves, including an attack on the hepatitis B vaccine and on painkillers for pregnant women. The common theme: That all children's health problems are due to "bad" mothers. This isn't about making kids healthy. It's misogyny. www.salon.com/2025/09/22/r...

I'm not going to watch Spaceballs 2, I really, so dearly just want to enjoy Star Wars and not have every toxic fan interaction reverberating in my mind as I watch another parody.

OLIVER: “In Russia, when Putin rose to power, TV satirists were among his first targets… Putin was driven to madness by how he was mocked on a puppet show… the lesson is it’s not safe to let one show slide because there are currently others.”

The backlash to ABC/Disney canceling Kimmel has been swift, and severe. The whole episode underscores something I've been blogging about for a while: A lot of powerful people just don’t realize how unpopular Trump is www.gelliottmorris.com/p/a-lot-of-p...

Stephen Harper did this in Canada and the law was overturned. There is a UN Convention on statelessness that says only a person with dual citizenship can have citizenship revoked. Creating a mass of stateless persons isn't going to do anyone any good, especially the United States.

Enjoy having to beg the pharmacist for acetaminophen like it's that other "super dangerous drug" (checks notes) sudafed.
