lol rfk making the face of a man who just gave the president 10 pages of perfectly crafted pseudoscience bullet points making it sound like there are real medical studies that support his fever dream theories and instead gets a rant from a guy who has clearly never seen how much babies pee
Trump’s inability to pronounce “acetaminophen” raises new questions about Joe Biden’s mental state.
I have taken the Tylenol that was in the medicine cabinet and which they think probably is the reason you like trains forgive me but that’s bullshit you got autism from your dad
It's all fun and games until a cop handles a Tylenol gelcap with no gloves and within seconds their socks are bothering them.
Tilsvarende å si «han gjorde terrorangrepet fordi han har en personlighetsforstyrrelse» (PF). Sistnevnte har en prediktiv validitet - en pf tilsier et langvarig mønster av dysfunksjonell oppførsel av type x eller y. Men HVORFOR gjorde personen det? «Bilen kolliderte fordi det er en bil.»
Why are the American president's claims about autism the first item on British news bulletins? He's not our president, the advice doesn't apply here and he's not presented any evidence to support his assertions. So why spread these claims? What make this the biggest story in the UK?
Obviously they only polled Bluesky weirdos and not real american twitter democrats lile Nate Silver
"Avenged" is a bit of a stretch for the original. Elijah cursed a group* mocking him (and through him God) and so God send two bears that mauled 42 of them. *Some translations call them children, but supposedly young men is also possible, also if 42 of them got mauled, it was a large group.
Ikke ment som stave-pirk, men jeg lurer på om nevnte Asperger stadig måtte stave navnet sitt. "nein, es sind p nicht b". Hilsen Bjørnar Te U eFf Te I enN
I made the mistake of venturing onto Facebook… Where HHS no longer seems to know how to spell acetaminophen. Of course, that’s the least troubling part of their proclamations.
Weekly Ruport: bad news cycle means more emotional support pillows
I like Jimmy Kimmel. I really do. I have no issues with him. I'm talking about something very different. Kimmel was only suspended. But he's back now. Karen Attiah and all the other Black journalists are still fired. Y'all do know how to fight, when you want to. But you don't really want to. 🤷🏿♂️
One reason I do not think Trump is going to create a 1,000 year reich is because he failed to cancel a middling funnyman and immediately pivoted to trying to outlaw not having a headache.
If only the US government funded a database of medical literature that included this 2017 article lamenting the lack of any national surveys in Cuba on the prevalence of autism and how this hampered ensuring support. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34352971/
In his entire answer he notably never once denies taking the $50,000.
Which is why they're giving their things away, not selling them.
Meltdown on "Truth" Social in 5... 4... 3... 2...
Klein is suggesting we let some women die as a little treat for the Republicans.
I'm hoping for advice from NIH funded researchers re the updated OA policy (grants.nih.gov/grants/guide...). Specifically: I have students funded on an F31 or T32 whose papers were submitted this spring and accepted after 7/1. Per policy, those papers must be OA from pub date... (1/3)
As CNN offers daylong saturation coverage of the podcaster’s funeral, I went back and checked to see how CNN covered Melissa Hortman’s memorial on 6/28, where Walz spoke and Biden/Harris attended. It got about four minutes during the hours it was happening—less than Jeff Bezos’s wedding that day.
Former counselor to RFK Jr’s predecessor:
2 cents: Det profesjonelle kommentariatet har det med å henge seg opp i spørsmål som ytringsfrihet uansett hva sakene ellers gjelder, fordi det handler om deres egen rolle. Ingenting kan være viktigere enn at de eksisterer, og får uttrykke noe som genererer en passende mengde klager.
1) Some of my speech got negative social reactions, which felt bad 2) That’s equivalent to state repression 3) Big name elite didn’t validate my feelings (ok, they did, but not enough) 4) This entitles—nay, requires—us to overthrow democracy and do state repression for real That really is the logic
It's funny how many MAGA folks are comparing Charlie Kirk to MLK, who Kirk repeatedly said was an awful person.
Men i alle dager! Hva slags bakgrunn hadde denne forfatteren og hvordan ser resten av boka ut?
To do that, you need to learn to recognize what fascists look like BEFORE they get to the flashy uniforms, marching and camps stage. Quite a lot of people are failing. 3/3
One of the weird things about history, is that we see it from the wrong end. Thus our idea of fascists, tend to be people in sharp uniforms, marching and running concentration camps. 1/3
And a video game. Don't forget the video game! Although I didn't see a scene where you have to time your jump through a giant fan.
It seems weird to not include even a hint of story, but I'm not a movie marketer, so what do I know.
So are they coy about the story, or ashamed, or do they just not care?
This is awful! This would be like if the US criminal justice system were almost entirely based on arresting young Black men that are innocent, then putting them in jail for a year pre-trial where they're subjected to sexual violence and assault and saying "Just plead guilty and we'll let you out!"🤡
One stark marker of how much our society has devolved in just a few years is Bob Iger personally got on a call to convince us to let Disney/HULU make the 1619 Project. That America no longer exists.
Eg lurte litt på kva som var forskingsfeltet hans, sidan han berre blei titulert "førsteamanuensis ved UiT". Det ser ut til at han har ei deltidsstilling i juss og økonomi ved UiT Narvik, og at hovudverksemda hans er som direktør i eit oljeselskap i Oklahoma.
The president ordering the murder of 3 more human beings on a boat didn’t even make the list
Tatiana Maslany posted an image on Instagram “with text overlaid that says “cancel your @disneyplus @hulu @espn subscriptions!” Marisa Tomei, who played Aunt May in Spider-Man movies distributed by Sony & Avengers movies from Disney, reposted a call to “unsubscribe and boycott” Disney platforms.”
Almost inevitably, a white liberal pundit who finds a way to “hear out” or “find commonalities” with white supremacists eventually starts saying depraved shit. I need to understand why that’s not the last strike for white people that it is for Black political observers.
gleder meg å se at jeg har klart å irritere wolt, men problemet her vel at de ikke skjønte kritikken min da min kritikk går først og fremst mot pressen, som selger sin journalistiske integritet til høyestbydende ved å lage reklame som ligner så mye som mulig på vanlig redaksjonelt innhold
They abandoned the whole free speech thing as soon as people started saying things that genuinely offended them. It wasn’t that they were so tolerant that they accepted nazi talk as a necessary evil to protect speech writ large, they just liked saying and hearing slurs bsky.app/profile/jame...
Crockett: "I'm gonna honor someone who decided they were going to proclaim I was involved in the 'great white replacement'? Yeah, I'm not honoring that ... it's unfortunate more of my colleagues even on my side couldn't see the amount of harm this man was attempting to inflict upon our communities"
Trump and Vance’s contradictory messages on these killings: 1: Our glorious military carried out hyper-precise attacks on dastardly drug smugglers. 2: If you’re an innocent fisherman, watch out because we might kill you by mistake!
Facts. Everyone unfairly causes her of cheating, especially those that know nothing about track. A few weeks back I shared that Estrogen is a performance enhancing as much as Testosterone. If y'all understood that thread, you might start to understand why top track coaches say she was clean.
I'm sure I'm not the first to observe this, but it just struck me that Americans explicitly value their own thoughts, "here's my two cents", more than other's, "penny for your thoughts".
Yeah man we should really fight back by staying on X
Just hilariously sloppy. He'll lie and pretend it was meant to be public, but he would NEVER post "it's killing our reputation and credibility."
Even if you take the most lenient possible interpretation -- that SCOTUS has made it increasingly hard to prosecute bribery and corruption -- you still have to ask what kind of crooked-ass administration hires a guy who just took $50k cash.
Oh no DHS is upset that people are saying mean things about ICE. Im sure this won’t generate a Streisand Effect or anything. www.dhs.gov/news/2025/09...
entire press has gotten bullied into treating charlie kirk as if he was one of the most important americans alive and not a modestly popular podcaster
Jeg sleit meg gjennom Pippi som barn med pute klar. Det har gitt meg varige mén, så jeg velger bort alt som krever hyppig bruk av pute. :) Godt dagens barn har valgmuligheter i stedet for en daglig halvtime barneprogram på lineær-TV.
He shouldn't worry. The FBI was waiting for him to do the quo since the supreme court had made it almost impossible to prosecute if there's just quid. www.pbs.org/newshour/sho...
Jeg tålte bare én episode. Heldigvis gadd ikke kona heller mer enn to, men Platonic har hun fortsatt med, selv om hun må se det alene. Seth Rogan asså, kongen av prisbelønt pute-tv.
Governing by tweet. It's the future ...
The Trump administration has attacked diversity programs, historical discussions of slavery, civil rights and more as he pressures civic institutions to de-emphasize race. Nikole Hannah-Jones, the creator of The 1619 Project, discusses what led to this movement. nyti.ms/4msq3x8
Det er vel at det ikke er "terroristen Osama" og "det kan inspirere andre terrorgrupper". Det er jo ikke noen forskjell på hvor høy allmennkunnskapen var om Osama dengang og om Kirk i dag i deres øyne, så de leser ond hensikt i detaljene som er lagt til.
Younger people won't believe this, but during the Second World War, Disney put out cartoons about how it was your patriotic duty to stand up to fascists, even noting that we'd each have to take a financial hit if we wanted to win that struggle. No, really!
Med andre ord en konsekvens av å tro at alle i Norge er intenst online og følger med på Amerikansk koko-høyre. 2/2
Hvis jeg skulle gjette må det være at de er misfornøyd med "høyre-aktivist" og at det nevnes at Trump bruker det til å skape skarpere fiendebilde. For dem var vel Kirk like kjent nå som Osama var dengang, så hvorfor ingen detaljer der liksom? Det kan jo bare bety at de liker Osama og hater Kirk. 1/2
there was a large enough pro-life Dem caucus in the House that it almost sank Obamacare! basically all of them lost their seats in the Tea Party wave, and we’ve only seen congressional races get more nationalized since then shitty policy stances aren’t enough to win over these voters
Every statistic about how bad the economy is getting is going to be buried or cooked by the end of the year. Quarterly earnings reports shifting to semi-annual earnings will ensure private companies don’t inject reality too often by talking about declining sales, etc.
"I was fired by email, without a conversation— after 11 years at the WaPo Opinions section as an editor and then columnist."
I think it's a sign of my maturity that at 50+ I no longer dwell on having a less than perfect exchange with people. Like when I just only replied "thank you", without the "you too" when the woman loading in my grocery pickup said "Your all set. Have a nice day!"
This guy just walked around the Charlie Kirk vigil in Boston, yelling Kirk quotes through a bullhorn
Check out Justice Eddins’ complete repudiation of the Roberts Court here. It’s worth reading in full. It’s quite brave—and exceedingly rare—for a sitting judge to speak so candidly and scathingly about SCOTUS’ partisan contortions of law, history, and fact. www.courts.state.hi.us/wp-content/u...
At this rate Ezra is about a month away from suggesting that Democrats become Republicans, because we won't have crackdowns on opposition parties if none of them exist
A woman abused by Jeffrey Epstein at 14 is asking the Supreme Court to rule prosecutors violated her rights by secretly cutting his 2007 non-prosecution deal. Her lawyers argue the government should not be allowed to sideline victims in such secret agreements.
Fikk NRK til å lage sak om hvor uaktuelt det er å droppe restaurering av Gausa. Men får ikke rase i Dax e.l., for verken Nye Veier eller samferdselsdepartementet vil møte oss...
I genuinely cannot believe that Ezra Klein said we should run pro-life candidates in Kansas, Ohio, and Missouri; three states that recently held abortion referendums where the pro-choice side won!

The backlash against the essential 1619 Project was a canary in the coal mine for the censorship of curriculum, books, and Black academics happening with increasing frequency today. Importance weekend listening.
"By the end of the year, we aim to have 200 percent more dipshits writing columns for us. As long as you are a Ben Shapiro knockoff who can string together the words 'the intolerant left' and occasionally criticize Trump, you have a home here on our opinion pages."
AI company comes in middle of the pack in a guessing competition in the guessing industry and @theguardian.com of course give them press. "Forecasting" exists because both sellers and buyers count the hits and bury the misses. Something a tech editor should know! www.theguardian.com/technology/2...
Reminder, as Trump's ambassador to the Netherlands he said in an interview it was fake news that he said there were no-go zones in NL, was shown the clip where he said that in 2015, and immediately claimed he hadn't called it fake news in the ongoing interview. "Only the best people" ...
US ambassador to Canada is sad that there's such anti-US sentiment ... youtu.be/-AUBG-GF9hI?...
1/? People of a certain age will remember this. Phil Donahue interviewed Farrakhan. Mike Wallace interviewed Farrakhan. There was not a single murmur of cancelling their shows. Arsenio decided to interview Farrakhan and was told him if he did so, he would lose the Arsenio Hall Show.
_Må_ det det, eller kan det være det er et fenomen som er sjeldent nok til å være vanskelig å fange i nok detalj til å studere, men plagsomt nok for de det involverer? Vi har ikke god forståelse på langt enklere søvnproblemer som søvnløshet eller mulighet for å se detaljert hva som skjer i hjernen.
Jo, men klikkagn-overskrifter er så vidt jeg har fått forståelse av noe som helt av seg selv spretter opp på avisnettsider uten at noen kan lastes for det eller gjøre noe.

I've been asked why I haven't played shows in other cities for a while. If you hadn't noticed, music math for us little Indie acts has changed since 2017. I used to tour with two people. That's not possible at my level anymore. I had to pick up a whole new instrument to be able to tour solo.

Again, Most "unfair muscle mass " in sports, is straight cis boys taking steroids. Most "gender affirming care for children," is straight cis boys getting gyno surgery to remove the unwanted boobs that they grew, because they took steroids. 🙂🙃 No one really cares about "fairness in sports." 🤷🏿♂️
Harriet Tubman was born while John Adams was alive and died when Ronald Reagan was alive. Adams: 1735-1826 Tubman: 1822-1913 Reagan: 1911-2004 When Adams was born, Hydrogen had yet to be identified. When Ronald died, he could’ve been listening to Hoobastank.
When we get to pleading in my first-year Civil Procedure class, my students often ask me just how over the top a complaint would have to be for a judge to strike it without even being *asked* to do so. Thanks to President Trump, we have an answer: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
Dutch late night TV has its take
I want to add that this death and the others in Riverside's jail system are not due to a lack of "training" or "bad policies" -- this is intentional disdain for life. This is a system that exerts the most violence -- death -- upon the most vulnerable.

As always, @marisakabas.bsky.social has nailed it. Somewhat inexplicably, I've spared you all my idiotic take on Jimmy Kimmel, but here it is: can you believe the President of the United States, even this pudding-brain, is this fucking *afraid* of Jimmy Kimmel?

We know we’re not a very big organization because we’re hyperlocal but we helped increase voter turnout by almost 30% in our last local election cycle. Perhaps we are a model to emulate. Also, we’re very funny.
