Be aware - they will find a way to prove their acetaminophen claims.

They will redefine the diagnosis. ASD1 will go back to being called Asperger's Syndrome (I mean, back to their nazi roots - awesome! Or maybe a new name? Musk Syndrome sounds nice.) and will no longer be considered autism.

Kristen Welker, host of meet the press, just allowed Gov Cox of Utah to declare that Kirk’s assassin was a “leftist” with zero pushback. Our main stream media is fucked. It has become completely useless. And harmful. @nbcnews.com

Socialism is what they called public power.

Socialism is what they called social security. 
 
Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.
 
Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

Calm down, folks, it was just an attempted assassination of a Jewish Democratic governor and his family on the first night of Passover, it’s not like somebody spray painted a dick on a Cybertruck.

The terrible CR Budget bill — written by right-wing House Republicans with no input from anybody but themselves — was passed tonight with the support of 10 Democrats.
 
An absolute failure of Democratic leadership. NOBODY in the Senate should have voted for this dangerous bill.

Canadians have begun using #ElbowsUp, a reference to a hockey fighting position where one puts up their elbows in a defensive position with a highly effective counter offensive response.
Let's adopt #ElbowsUp as well. We are allies and stand against the same tyrannical despot. 🇨🇦

This is Winston Churchill visiting Washington DC to request assistance in the war against Germany. Notice he is wearing a "zip suit" and not a traditional suit. This was to honor the British troops--the same reason Zelensky dresses the way he does.

This scrum of pot-bellied, sunken-chested betas trying to bully an all-black clad badass Eastern European wasteland survivor while dressed like Men’s Wearhouse mannequins is peak cinema.
GLENN: Why don't you wear a suit? You're at the highest level in this country's office & you refuse to wear a suit. A lot of Americans have problems with you not respecting the office.

ZELENSKYY: I will wear a costume after this war will finish. Maybe something like yours. Maybe something better.

The world over, this is a movement driven by people who own car dealerships and work in HR. The buddy garrity right, burning everything down because they’re bored and 1 of their 250 coworkers wanted to be called “they.”

There’s no punchline, that’s it.
One of my best friends is from a sleepy, wealthy small town in the south-west of Germany. He said, so many of my parents’ neighbours are rich and bored, with little to complain about, and they’ve radicalised themselves at dinner parties and online. In their aimlessness, they’ve bonded over hate.
This isn’t some rant saying “Germany has learned nothing from its past” - the reality is more subtle than that. Middle-class Germans live and travel with an incredible amount of ease and comfort, and they just got…sleepy. Many of them dismissed the far-right’s rage as just another set of complaints.

Hate that it has come to this, but it's time to consider PubMed vulnerable to enshittification. My latest post @plos.org discusses the lines we need to fight to hold – and alternatives we can rely on internationally:

What if We Can't Rely on PubMed? - Absolutely Maybe
PubMed is incredibly reliable. And a lot depends on it. It’s an ecosystem built around MEDLINE, the steady feed of new publications…

Yes. An opposition daily briefing. That would be a good start!
This is so smart. @petebuttigieg.bsky.social , thoughts ?

And if you see this. A reminder. This is not Twitter. You can engage here and have thoughtful discussions !

We all look forward to reading your thoughts
I keep saying Dems need to do a daily briefing on Capitol Hill and fill the void, fact check the WH. Hire Pete Buttigeig and give him a staff to do this.
