Oh, I am not surprised that it’s a paper on autism, because hey, what else do us autistic folk deserve but half hearted AI slop
Hey @nature.com, have you got an explanation for how the hell THIS happened? & especially why you accepted a paper with such a bizarre piece of genAI slop in it?!
& more to the point, why we should take you seriously at all going forward?

Yeah, not sure where "USians" started, but it's dumb. People understand perfectly well what "Americans" means. We don't need to keep inventing new words to say the same shit.
If your argument involves referring to Americans as “USians” it doesn’t matter how cogent the rest of your point may be tbh

This is wonderful news, and also means it’s time for me to beat the drum I always do when HPV vaccines make the news:

They are not only for women! HPV also causes penile, anal, and head and neck cancers. The latter are particularly deadly. Please vaccinate ALL your children.
Australia recorded ZERO cases of cervical cancer in women under 25 for the first time since they started tracking the cancer in the 80s.

This is the power of vaccines.

The HPV vaccine is extremely effective at preventing cancer.

Viruses can be oncogenic. Get your vaccines and protect yourself!
newsGP - Australia set for world-first cervical cancer elimination
Vaccination programs have played a key role, and GPs remain ‘instrumental’ in boosting screening rates to reach the 2035 target.

thanksgiving is a time for people to come together, to celebrate the spirit of unity despite our differences, and to demonstrate that, here is busta rhymes performing "break ya neck" with raphael the ninja turtle

very odd that the Post would write up someone’s speciation as if it’s news. What are we doing here

I am a little tired of being yelled at for this but apparently not tired about: heroin addiction is not RFK’s problem. He’s a sociopath. Most addicts aren’t. Honestly, walk into an NA meeting, grab the first person with a few years to be head of HHS and they’d probably do a better job than Bobby.
This is what happens when you put a privileged, 14 year heroin addict in charge of health. Duh

just saw someone unironically use “yxll” for “y’all” (yes when this person has used “y’all” in the past they put the apostrophe in the wrong place and r from not the south while saying people from the south talk like they’re unintelligent, and uses “folx” for “folks”) and : death penalty imo
