Do these people expect climate change to literally personify into some sort of entity that can actually begin fires? Like I don't understand what they would envision the cause to be if they thought climate change literally started the fires.

Early polls show Trump and GOP taking more blame than Democrats for shutdown

The national surveys taken in the final days of September and the first day of the shutdown find that voters are more inclined to blame Trump and his party. But many are uncertain.

This is why we fund scientists to study things like oyster slobber even if you don’t think it sounds important

⚠️ Chinese researchers have invented bone glue that mimics how oysters stick to surfaces underwater.

The adhesive can reportedly repair orthopedic fractures in 2-3 minutes, even in blood-rich environments, and is bioabsorbable.

At a Monday press conference, President Donald Trump issued a warning: “Don’t take Tylenol if you’re pregnant.”

Doctors say it’s safe to use acetaminophen, the main ingredient in Tylenol, to reduce fever and pain during pregnancy. 🧵https://buff.ly/YY9G6hW

5 things to know about autism and Tylenol during pregnancy

During pregnancy, acetaminophen — the main ingredient in Tylenol — is generally considered a safe painkiller and fever reducer. Research hasn’t shown that it causes autism.

thrilled to see ‘tobacco industry logic’ pervading other fields ❤️

It remains the case, she said, that it is the parent’s job to “discern what’s appropriate for them and say: ‘No, it’s not appropriate. Here’s the reason.’”

But California assemblymember Alex Lee believes putting the onus should not solely be on parents, in part because beauty companies are not obligated to feature clear labels or warning – only very long lists of ingredients. “Your average parent is not a pediatric dermatologist,” he said. Lee has twice tried to introduce a bill stopping stores from selling products containing ingredients such as retinol and glycolic acid to kids under 18. The Personal Care Product Council – which represents the interests of the beauty industry – lobbied against the bills, which have both failed to pass. In Lee’s view, the industry is unwilling to do anything to disrupt its relationship with children it believes will be customers for life.

Right! But now it looks like De Santis doesn't like the College Board so therefore anything it touches is woke? And the ACT gets lumped in despite not being overseen by the College Board because ??? share.google/iPmeN1VxEgmM...

DeSantis had beef with the College Board. Now Florida wants its own tests.

These moves indicate the state is attempting to distance itself from the College Board, which administers AP courses and the SAT, at the behest of the governor and other Republican leaders.
