My tween just informed me that I have inspired a new item in his DnD campaign/universe -- The Sunglasses of Omniscience.

Lowly’s human car is rolling out a presser tour to help shore up the Christian right and keep that support. I don’t think he knows that they hate the Catholics.

"The team hypothesized that men 'require more explicit vocalizations to notice and respond to the needs of their cats.' In other words, the researchers are suggesting that many cats have concluded that men don’t always listen, and adjusted their behavior accordingly."

This is why I support freedom of expression.
Appropriately, it is the chaos of a system that supports free speech that gives rise to the grand process of democratic self-governance and the ideally upward arc of human progress and flourishing.

I've seen this go by a few times on TikTok now and I have to say, I love this idea. We need a way to convince people to keep running even if they don't win, maybe building the loss into it as a troll move is the secret.

In short, acetaminophen exposure during pregnancy is not linked to the risk of developing autism, ADHD, or intellectual disability.
The study has been published in Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA). YES, it is PEER-REVIEWED.

![Design, Setting, and Participants
This nationwide cohort study with sibling control analysis included a population-based sample of 2,480,797 children born in 1995 to 2019 in Sweden, with follow-up through December 31, 2021.
Exposure
Use of acetaminophen during pregnancy prospectively recorded from antenatal and prescription records.
Main Outcomes and Measures
Autism, ADHD, and intellectual disability based on International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision and International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision codes in health registers.
Results
In total, 185909 children (7.49%) were exposed to acetaminophen during pregnancy. Crude absolute risks at 10 years of age for those not exposed vs those exposed to acetaminophen were 1.33% vs 1.53% for autism, 2.46% vs 2.87% for ADHD, and 0.70% vs 0.82% for intellectual disability. In models without sibling control, ever-use vs no use of acetaminophen during pregnancy was associated with marginally increased risk of autism (hazard ratio [HR], 1.05 [95% CI, 1.02-1.08]; risk difference [RD] at 10 years of age, 0.09% [95% Cl,
-0.01% to 0.20%l), ADHD (HR, 1.07 [95% Cl, 1.05-1.10];
RD, 0.21% [95% Cl, 0.08%-0.34%]), and intellectual disability (HR, 1.05 [95% CI, 1.00-1.10]; RD, 0.04% [95% Cl, -0.04% to 0.12%]).
To address unobserved confounding, matched full sibling pairs were also analyzed. Sibling control analyses found no evidence that acetaminophen use during pregnancy was associated with autism (HR, 0.98 [95% Cl, 0.93-1.04]; RD, 0.02% [95% Cl, -0.14% to 0.18%l), ADHD (HR, 0.98 [95% Cl, 0.94-1.02]; RD, -0.02% [95% Cl, -0.21% to 0.15%]), or intellectual disability (HR, 1.01 195% Cl, 0.92-1.10]; RD, 0% [95% Cl, -0.10% to 0.13%1).](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:llgfbjvsqkaicezsf7mzjxr3/bafkreicpuvkboryiemrnkjuo7g2yj7garvjkjiw7i33ktwnguhri4csrn4@jpeg)

we ate a lot of Acadian and British food growing up, and I just assumed that we were poor. Then I got a little older and realized my parents made those foods to celebrate their cultural heritage. Now I realize that our main cultural heritage was being poor.

My friends, I just discovered an amazing app called #StandInPride which offers support to the LGBTQ + community. You can support people online or in person. You can “stand in” for missing family members who won’t attend a wedding or a graduation, or offer a listening ear. Check it out!
