A 5-month-old baby died, & 3 surviving children, ages 2, 4, & 5, had to be hospitalized with rickets, osteopenia, vitamin D deficiency, & significant developmental delays bc their parents put them on “alkaline diets.”

Anyone saying alkalization has health benefits is a murderous liar & a charlatan.

NEW: Buried in the new defense bill is a policy to fill weapon “gaps” Israel gets as other nations embargo it.

As in: citing "wartime" needs, the US armed Israel’s genocide.
Nations responded by restricting weapons to Israel.
Now, citing those very restrictions, the US may send Israel *even more.*

Trump is backpedaling on his support for the release of the Sept. 2 boat strike video.

On December 3, he said he would have "no problem" releasing the video.

Today, he said he "didn't say that" (he did) and now says, "whatever Hegseth wants to do is OK with me."

Can't remember if it was this bad before COVID but I'm seeing an alarming spreading of what I'll call Airport Behavior to other public places. Obliviousness to other people's existence, ineptitude at navigating the environment. "Is this your first time at the grocery store" type stuff

We're half a decade into studies finding that improving airflow in classrooms will reduce disease transmission enormously, and that bleaching surfaces etc. does very little. And yet nothing changes. Waves of flu and colds wash over schools, and the schools pretend it's an act of God.

Israel hunted a 70 year old lady down with a gun drone and then hoovered above to make sure she bled out next to her dying son. They both join almost 1,000 Palestinians Israel has massacred or maimed in its genocide during the "ceasefire".

anyway. reading nothing and starting from the moral intuition that trans people are worthy of respect and are in a better position to understand their lives than people who aren't them—if you start from there, you're way closer to the truth than someone like Ryan, even if you read nothing.

"Look at how I have been educating myself on trans people," says Ben Ryan, and then posts a picture of books that are mostly anti-trans propaganda, and, hilariously, a stack of papers with a ruler beside them as if we measure quality of information by the centimetre.

These people are ridiculous.
