Kershaw really shit on his legacy by deciding he needed to get on the record with the wackest, worst, laziest bigotry right as the curtain was coming down, and it will be tough to remember him any other way. Absolutely one of the greats, but no one can just be normal (or just be quiet) anymore.

Harrison Bader is an Art Guy.

He's painted since he was kid, studied art history in HS, and goes to galleries in his free time.

He paints "a lot" of portraits during the offseason (and used to during the season, too).

"It gives me time to unplug from the world.” www.inquirer.com/phillies/har...

The Phillies’ Harrison Bader has been painting since he was a kid. And it’s helped shape his game.

Bader took an interest in art history in high school and still paints. It’s helped him get through the highs and lows of his major league career, while keeping him in “the present moment.”

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."

I spoke extensively with the Crimson reporter. She understood the strength of the evidence, and it shows.

Odds ratios can be eye-glazing, but let's just say that when 2.5 million kids are studied, and it's still not possible to detect added risk from taking acetaminophen...there's no added risk.

#Phillies set a franchise record tonight with 8 home runs in a game. Schwarber now has 56 HRs for the year, 2 more to tie the franchise record set by Ron Howard. Sosa has 3 HRs tonight.

Go Phillies!

Amid the [gestures at everything], I've been meaning to re-up this piece from April.

“‘Nonspeaking’ does not mean ‘non-listening,’” a formerly nonspeaking woman told me. “I was aware of the terrible things people were saying about me, when they discussed me like I wasn’t even there.”

my father is 72 years old and didn’t get diagnosed with ADHD until he was 67, which only happened because I got diagnosed at 27 and he went “wait …” when I described all the symptoms that led me to the psychiatrist in the first place

ClutchScience (Jen Phillips) @clutchscience.bsky.social · 16d

Q: how much is acetaminophen vs. better diagnosis?

RFK Jr jumps in to answer, says it's a 'canard' that has been completely debunked, it's just common sense because you(he) don't see autism in people older than 50!

(autistic people over 50, stand up!)

excluding execution and better son/daughter because those are sort of Canonical Songs that transcend the concept of “favorite” to me it is probs “the good that won’t come out” or “silver linings.” the former for the bridge and the latter because “I never felt so wicked […]” is an all-time hard line

The problem with every post-Millennial generation is they got to go straight to high speed internet. Of course you'll get computer madness that way. Make them start with those old screeching modems and work their way up
