I’d believe a claim that microplastics cause autism way more than acetaminophen.
And I’m smelling someone making money on this move. Ope! There it is. Folinic acid to treat autism. Cha Ching for Dr. Oz, who has a stake in the company that makes folinic acid, aka leucovorin.

@leahlitman.bsky.social said it best: “Political culture imagines that the Supreme Court safeguards the Constitution, when in reality it is chipping away at the constitutional rights of historically marginalized groups."
The Supreme Court is really “just vibes”
In a new book, legal podcaster Leah Litman describes how the GOP and its jurists are "just not that into democracy."

I found only one (!) installer offering European-made (Romanian) inverters running Taiwanese software. It should be good in principle, but I'm not convinced

Says the pretty young blond privileged white woman
The people who say we talk too much about slavery are the same ones who insist that we need public monuments and statues of men who are famous solely for waging a war of treason in defense of slavery.
Statues that were created explicitly to deny any sense of "hope and progress" after the Civil War.

White House official Lindsey Halligan: "While slavery is obviously a horrible aspect of our nation's history, you can't really talk about slavery honestly unless you also talk about hope and progress ... we need to stop focusing so much on the lack of progress."

It's starting to look like Iran is going to fold and Khamenei (ahem) "removed" from power.
With reference to Israel, it's also starting to look like a case of the dog that actually caught the chased car.
What they do next will be very telling as to how this will all wind up.
