If you're ever tempted to believe or cite Jonathan Haidt's moral panic crusade against social media, you should consider that he's now also part of Heritage's crusade to criminalize porn.

1: In 2023, I wrote this paper arguing that research on active ingredients of CBT, and by extension on their mechanisms, is not close to improving therapy outcomes.

I just read a paper on inhibitory learning improving outcomes of exposure. Egg on my face?

“Can you imagine if Obama had bulldozed the W…” NO. We just need leaders who respond the way Republicans would have responded if Obama had bulldozed the White House to build himself a palace ballroom. Removal from office. Criminal prosecution. Confiscate Mar a Lago. Sell it to finance rebuilding.

There should be new Tales from the Crypt.

And the original series should be streamable somewhere.

As fascism becomes more entrenched, microblogging will become even less reliable and likely useful as a site for communicating. So many bots, bad actors and an inability to discern.

Dogs are getting vaccinated less and rabies rates are rising, in part because 37% of Americans think vaccines will give their dogs... pawtism.

www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

Worries about vaccination rates in dogs
As rabies seems to be spreading more in wildlife, veterinarians are especially worried about vaccine hesitancy spreading among pet owners, a dangerous trend that could lead to more dogs — and their owners — becoming infected. A 2023 study published in the journal Vaccine found in a nationally representative sample of Americans that nearly 40% believed canine vaccines were unsafe and 37% believed that vaccines could lead their dogs to develop cognitive issues, such as autism.
