A casual reminder.

Humans have increased atmospheric CO2 from about 270 ppm pre-industrial to about 435 ppm today, an increase of about 165 ppm.

That's about the same increase as having 1650 people simultaneously urinating 250 ml (~1 cup) into an olympic sized swimming pool.

UNDERAGE WOMEN ARE CHILDREN!
Epstein, who sexually abused underage women at his homes and one of his private islands in the Caribbean, also kept images of sex toys, according to the new release.

One of the photographs shows novelty condoms with Trump’s likeness on them. A sign reads, “Trump Condom $4.50.” (6/x)

This is exceptionally bad. However, it does match her writing 🤷‍♀️
Many of the Goodreads reviews for Nuzzi's books complain about the narration, but I wasn't prepared for how bad the audiobook really is.

I am so fucking angry after reading this !
A 5-month-old baby died, & 3 surviving children, ages 2, 4, & 5, had to be hospitalized with rickets, osteopenia, vitamin D deficiency, & significant developmental delays bc their parents put them on “alkaline diets.”

Anyone saying alkalization has health benefits is a murderous liar & a charlatan.

Just when I I thought that fifty shades of grey was the pinnacle of bad writing , Olivia Nuzzi comes along with this drivel.

The fascinating saucy thread that you HAVE to read 👌
I'm going to reproduce a saucy thread I did some years ago in the other place. It is divisive and produces many odd statements and flushes out parochial opinions.

"Imagine you stole all of the intellectual property in the world. And you're using it to help people write middling emails and make revenge porn about women, and also children. And you're powering this plagiarism and non-consensual porn machine by eating up what's left of humanity's carbon budget."

This is an incredible and comprehensive resource for aluminum vaccine adjuvants, which I want to reiterate are not toxic and do not cause aluminum toxicity, despite what the antivaxx liars running our federal health agencies may claim

Vaccines work! 🙌🙌
Australia recorded ZERO cases of cervical cancer in women under 25 for the first time since they started tracking the cancer in the 80s.

This is the power of vaccines.

The HPV vaccine is extremely effective at preventing cancer.

Viruses can be oncogenic. Get your vaccines and protect yourself!

Vaccination programs have played a key role, and GPs remain ‘instrumental’ in boosting screening rates to reach the 2035 target.

I don’t care who you are, if you’re a nonce you belong in prison. NO exceptions.
Everyone implicated in the Epstein Files should be in jail. I don’t care how valuable you are to society or what wonderful things you’ve done in your life.

This weekend marks the fourth anniversary of my father's death. He was a complicated guy, especially so during the last few years of his life. The thought of a fucking a.i. on my phone trying to capture his humor and complexity and, frankly, craziness, makes me feel ill. I'll stick with my memories.
For real, check this out. Evil.

Grim reading, but good to see the historic focus of medicine on white males, and the resulting neglect of women & gender diverse people being acknowledged.

"An astounding 90% of respondents reported experiencing pain lasting longer than a year, and 54% described living with pain every day."
Inquiry into Women's Pain
Over 13,000 people contributed to Australia's first Inquiry into Women's Pain. Insights from the consultation formed 27 recommendations to bridge the pain gap for Victorian women and girls.
