Autism antibodies are stored in the foreskin.

Besides linking Tylenol in pregnant women to autism, RFK Jr. now says circumcision is part of the reason why kids are autistic.

"Children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism, and it's highly likely because they're given Tylenol. None of this is positive..."

The photography in this article really feels like The Times are deliberately setting these people up for ridicule. (You can read it without visiting The Times here archive.ph/KZZC1)

If only Liz Truss had thought of doing this, she'd still be Prime Minister today.

Milei capers around on stage whilst the country falls to pieces. This is a perfect encapsulation of his role, a narcisistic fool who clowns around and holds peoples attention whilst the Argentine ruling class reduces the country back to the level of neo-colonial dependency last seen prior to 1914.

Die deutschen Fleischproduzenten haben ihren Verstand verloren. Ab sofort sollen Schnitzeljagd „Papierbasiertes Abenteuerspiel“, Leute die aus Hamburg kommen 'Moinler' und Einwohner der Hessischen Finanzhauptstadt "Grüne Sossler' heißen.

Robert Jenrick is a disgusting racist. So he'll probably be the next leader of the Conservative Party.

Surely no sane person would want to replace her this far away from a general election? That said, most of the people who could replace her are as batty as they come, so they'll probably kick her out as soon as the Tory party constitution allows it, which is coming up pretty soon.

I drive one occasionally for work and I have never come across a more poorly built vehicle. It's about a year old and already several of the electronic driving functions, such as automatic stop / start and anti skid systems don't work. It's like it's held together with tale. Total rubbish!

If you're thinning about buying an Iveco Daily Business van, please don't. They are absolutely fucking shit.

I accept Zack Polanski’s statement on the attack at a synagogue yesterday as heartfelt.

Yet, he continues to defend the deputy leader of the Green Party for this mad shit written on October 7th 2023 when over 1,000 Israelis were murdered?

Yeah, but just wait until Labubu AI comes online...

AI is a gigantic bubble waiting to burst, crashing markets and causing global recession. More details here...

“.. His conclusion is very stark: not just that an economy already at stall speed will fall into recession as both the data-center and wealth effects plateau, but that they’ll reverse, just as in the dot-com bubble did ..”

No. Fuck off, Thames Water. We've had enough of your self endowed 'license to pollute'.

Privatisation of water was the biggest mistake ever made by a Tory Govt. Except for all the others, of course.

Thames Water creditors ask for up to 15 years’ leniency from river pollution rules

Lenders say a ‘full return to legal, regulatory and environmental compliance’ under new rescue plan would not be completed until at least 2035-2040
