Having older kids comes with mixed emotions - like, our 19yo had a 72-hour 101-103 fever (after a cold 2 wks ago). Like, he wouldn't have gone to emerg without my mom-nagging, but at the same time, he was able to take himself to-from there. Chest Xrays clear, waiting on throat swabs, fever down.

Until further notice, if you want decent health information, National Health (UK) provides science based information based on decades of data that is NOT EDITED BY A HEROINE ADDICT WITH A WORM IN HIS BRAIN.
It’s good to explain that the CDC is lying and vaccines still unequivocally do not cause autism, even if it just reaches one person on here who has doubts. But the fight is out there, not in here; and the time to let go of the information deficit model of science communication was decades ago

Can’t believe the whole country has to suffer through the return of Dickensian childhood diseases because the worst, most ignorant attention-demanders decided other people’s expertise makes them feel bad

I fully expect the CDC to post a similar statement that it hasn't been proven that Cinnamon Toast Crunch doesn't cause encephalitis.
This is completely disgusting. Today, the CDC updated their vaccine safety page. It now says:
“The claim "vaccines do not cause autism" is not an evidence-based claim because studies have not ruled out the possibility that infant vaccines cause autism”.

No thank you, Outlook, I do not need you to Summarize a 2 (small) paragraph email. I can read it and process it all on my own. Ugh have I mentioned how much I hate generative AI.

OK Ok oK, I was worried I was "wrongfully" recycling most of these items already, but, really only deodorant and Flexible plastics (was putting paper plates in compost?!). Glad to be able to recycle more!!
On Dec. 1, provincial regulations for Extended Producer Responsibility will come into effect across Nova Scotia. The municipality will continue to provide curbside recycling collection following the existing collection schedule. Learn more: www.halifax.ca/home/news/pr...

I fully support these women doing whatever they wanna do. Whether it's calling for the release of the files or sharing their stories in this PSA. They choose.
But my God, did #MeToo not teach us already that laying out our pain does not build empathy with people who are committed to our inhumanity.

No one warns you about how attached you get to kitchen utensils that you've had over 20 years. My carrot peeler broke today (it literally pounced out of the dishwasher rack and broke in half on the floor). I have others. They are not good peelers. I have the sad.

With a “WOW!,” President Trump posts a claim about DOGE and “royalties linked to Obamacare” that originated on a satirical website. That site’s own About section reads: “Everything on this website is fiction… If you believe that it is real, you should have your head examined.”

pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.
A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.
Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."
Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.
