Besides linking Tylenol in pregnant women to autism, RFK Jr. now says circumcision is part of the reason why kids are autistic.

"Children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism, and it's highly likely because they're given Tylenol. None of this is positive..."

House Republicans are gaveling us out and shutting down the House to avoid swearing in Adelita Grijalva.

It is undemocratic and unacceptable.

They continue to post (but not in reply to me) about how crime is out of control in NYC and other cities and how great it is someone is finally taking over for ineffective city politicians.

I'm in NYC all the time for work. My cousins will occasionally message me asking if I ride the subway, isn't it dangerous, etc. I've started posting videos and pictures of my non-eventful subway rides (i.e., all of them) on Facebook.

For 911 calls of the future, AI is on the line

AI might answer your 911 calls

By the end of next year, Montgomery County’s call center hopes to use artificial intelligence to answer nonemergency phone calls. The goal is to lighten the workload for a chronically understaffed center.

repost this if an editor has ever saved you from yourself

An actual hot take: Too many authors are afraid of editors watering down their voice or whatever and not afraid enough of editors letting you put any old slop on the page.

Genuine question: When Trump describes the bombed out hellscapes of Portland and Chicago, has any reporter followed up to ask him specifically what images he has seen and where he saw them?

The even crazier part, is that Oregon Republicans who regularly shop and dine in Portland will hear him say this and nod in agreement. "Thank you sir, for giving me permission to disbelieve my lying eyes."

Incredible.

Jack Posobiec references the earliest version of antifa -- the anti-fascists in the Weimar Republic who were opposed to the Nazi Party -- as the bad guys.

I'm old enough to remember the US' experiment with permanent daylight saving time. What a disaster. Standard Time's the best time!

“Morning light tells the brain it’s time to wake, raise energy, and set our daily rhythm. Standard Time keeps our daily schedule close to that natural signal. Daylight Saving Time does the opposite.”

Made friends around the country, got to visit some of them. We've supported each other in hard times (deaths, disasters) and good times (weddings, new babies). My "internet axe murderer friends" are amazing.
