This song came on at the restaurant where my wife and I were eating tonight and k said “imagine going back to 1999 and telling people that THIS song would be the one that stuck from this era.”

You guys wish you were on the level of sincerity I’m on. I’m listening to You Get What You Give by New Radicals and feeling emotions. As a matter of fact I DO have the music in me. I DO have the dreamers’ disease.

Went to Wal-mart to buy coffee the other day and prices were up by almost 50% – 100% for some brands. Usually you can find a brand or two for 7.99 per 12oz bag, but even the usually "cheap" ones like Folgers were $15-$20.

Not only THAT, but it's based off of data that includes only *57* boys with ASD out of a study of over 300,000.

Ritual circumcision and risk of ASD With 57 ASD cases in ritually circumcised boys and 4929 ASD cases in intact boys, the
overall ASD risk in the age interval 0-9 years was 46% increased in ritually circumcised boys
(HR = 1.46; 95% CI: 1.11-1.93). This was due to noticeably increased ASD risk in the first
0-4 years of life (HR = 1.80; 95% CI: 1.25-2.60), but not in the 5-9 years age interval (HR
= 1.15; 95% CI: 0.75-1.77). For boys circumcised before their second birthday, overall ASD
risk during the first 0-9 years of life was 41% elevated (HR = 1.41; 95% CI: 1.05-1.90). The
HR was higher, though not significantly so, for boys circumcised at age 24 months or older
(HR = 1.96; 95% CI: 0.93-4.14), an estimate based on only seven cases of ASD in that group
(Table 2).

Alright so this got me curious about the study, which is from 2015 and based in Denmark. Unsurprisingly for Scandinavia, it is *very* Islamophobic.

pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...

With estimated current totals of 240,000 Muslims and 8000 Jews in Denmark, 36,37 the vast
majority of ritual circumcisions are performed in families with a Muslim cultural background. If not properly addressed, any association between ritual circumcision and ASD risk could theoretically be due to other factors that might differ between boys in Muslim and non- Muslim families. To address any such influences, we created for all cohort members a cultural background variable based on information about the country of birth for their parents and grandparents. Using the criterion of having at least one parent or grandparent born in one of the following 17 predominantly Muslim countries (Turkey, Iraq, Pakistan, Iran, Somalia, Lebanon, Afghanistan, Morocco, Egypt, Syria, Indonesia, Algeria, Jordan, Bangladesh, Kuwait, Tunisia and Kosovo; no other predominantly Muslim country in the world accounted for more than 0.1% of all non-Danish born citizens), this variable categorised 7.8% of both boys and girls in the cohort as belonging to a family with a likely Muslim cultural background. To evaluate the precision of our cultural background variable, we applied it to the entire Danish population of 1 January 2013 (5.57 million persons), reaching an estimate of 243,175 Muslims (4.4%) in Denmark, which is close to the
abovementioned estimate of 240,000.36

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

"Republicans want you to be pregnant every year from age 25-35 and they also want you to be as sick and in pain during that time as possible" is such an easy talking point to bring up! And it's true! It's literally what they're doing!

Roger (Perpetual Stu) @iamtherog.com · 18h

If these freaks were truly "pro life" and "pro-natalist" they would be doing everything in their power to make pregnancy *easier* for pregnant people, but they're going out of their way to ensure that pregnancy is as painful as possible. It's genuinely appalling that the Dems aren't hammering them.

RFK Jr: "Somebody showed me a TikTok video of a pregnant woman at 8 months pregnant -- she's an associate professor at the Columbia Medical School -- and she is saying 'F Trump' and gobbling Tylenol with her baby in her placenta. The level of Trump Derangement Syndrome is now a pathology."
