I for one am happy Trump wants a coin of himself knowing full well the law says that only dead peeps can be on currency.

I hold many grudges against "Artificial Intelligence", but perhaps the biggest one is how confusing this era is for all us Weird Al Yankovic fans.

Little bacterium, are you hopeful about the future? "For sure!" Really? Why? "Because I eat poop." Oh. "And so many people are just FULL OF IT." Well, I'm happy for you then. "There's so much poop!"

Back in the Pre-Cambrian Era (540+ million years ago). Two cells are talking:
First cell: Have you heard the news??
Second cell: No. There's no such thing as "news," ya weirdo.
First cell: Oh ya I forgot!
Life was so much simpler back then...

This is your must read of the day.

"The neurogeneticist Stanley Nelson once said, 'If you had 100 kids with autism, you could have 100 different genetic causes.'
Researchers increasingly believe the search for a cause of a singular 'autism' is misguided. There are autisms, rather than just autism."

And remember, the reason he wanted separate vaccines wasn't due to any science, but because *he'd filed a patent application for a single measles vaccine*. It was just grifting.

I try not to do this in a knee-jerk way, but: I'm a sustaining member of multiple @npr.org affiliates precisely to support news that ... isn't this. The science is extremely clear on the medical value of Tylenol, and the lack of any credible link to autism, and it's not hard to say that

NPR @npr.org · 14d

The science on Tylenol and autism isn't clear, despite President Trump's claims. Here's what parents need to know to make their own decisions about acetaminophen.

When it comes to Tylenol, what are parents to do?

Health and science reporters should lead the coverage of all these health-related conspiracy theories & newsroom leaders should keep their both-sides political reporters out of their way.
