Do NOT talk to him about his cats though, he'll introduce them by name and that can be a problem

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..."

He was scared of penguins. Not even, like, evil eldritch penguins or the ones with admittedly weird facial/head hair. Just the concept of a normal penguin

Part of the point of keeping poverty and starvation around is a threat to force people into working against their class! I don't get how people acknowledge this, but then can't accept that yes, some people are going to accept that option, when the alternative is for their family to starve

One that bothers me instinctively is that it would be entirely historically accurate if the characters in Dracula took a break to play Nintendo and drink Coca Cola. But they probably wouldn't do that

It'll never be lost on me that a particular subset of the liberal commentariat in both North America and Western Europe were deeply infatuated with this woman up until the very moment she decided to talk about that one issue you're still basically not allowed to talk about lol.

““They dragged little Greta [Thunberg] by her hair before our eyes, beat her, and forced her to kiss the Israeli flag. They did everything imaginable to her, as a warning to others,” the Turkish activist ErsinÇelik, a participant in the Sumud flotilla, told Anadolu news agency.”+

I can't tell which is more baffling; either she's lying (to win over that vital voter base of potential Tories who love Terry Pratchett?) or she's being genuine (so she loved his work and what she took from it was...?)

if this is what they do to a world famous activist they know is being watched, imagine what they’re doing to young women and girls whose names have never been in the papers

zero prevent surprised to read they are roundly abusing greta thunberg while she’s in detention but making her kiss the israeli flag is just sick. what sick people.

"They dragged little Greta [Thunberg] by her hair before our eyes, beat her, and forced her to kiss the Israeli flag. They did everything imaginable to her, as a warning to others," the Turkish activist ErsinÇelik, a participant in the Sumud flotilla, told Anadolu news agency.

Lorenzo D'Agostino, a journalist and another flotilla participant, said after returning to Istanbul that Thunberg was "wrapped in the Israeli flag and paraded like a trophy" - a scene described with disbelief and anger by those who witnessed it.

The language of non-consent around AI is really telling. "It's too late to be scared." "It's here whether we want it or not." "You'll have to learn to work with it." "You can't fight the inevitable."

All just variations of "you're not allowed to say no." Creepy technology made by creepy people.
