RFK Jr. says the CDC will no longer recommend COVID vaccines for healthy pregnant women. Yet doctors have found that stillbirths can result from COVID directly infiltrating the placenta — even for people whose COVID symptoms were mild or nonexistent. @deldeib.bsky.social's story from 2022:

*Last year's 'Extinction' from Doug Preston is a great companion to Jurrassic Park - and a premise I'd always hoped the movies would follow; a 'Pleistocene Park', involving genetic engineering where extinct Ice Age megafauna are reintroduced.

The point's lost unless you've read the original novel, which made that point - in one of the movies, it's pointed out the dinos deviated significantly in size & characteristics as the public/visitors wouldn't have been impressed otherwise - they wanted to be 'scared' so they gave them 'monsters'.

What - the black eye or the physical fight? Both have been confirmed; as has Miller's wife going to work for Musk. The White House is trying to spin it as 'passionate' discussion and a healthy disagreement, but I don't buy it. There's much more to this.

There's much more to this. The White House has confirmed there was a physical altercation between Musk & Bessent - now Musk is saying 'he asked his 4 yr old to punch him in the face and he obliged.' Oh, what a tangled web we weave when tempers flare , fists fly and hallucinogens are involved . . .
jakehwest1.bsky.social (@jakehwest1.bsky.social) reply parent
The White House previously confirmed there was a 'screaming match' between Musk & Scott Besent; now they've admitted it was an actual physical altercation. Imo, if there's screaming & punching going on, there's more to it. Musk is now saying he got the shiner from horsing around w/his 4 yr old.

M*A*S*H was perfect TV because it realized the film's meanness and misogyny was a weakness. The characters needed to grow. Letting Major Houlihan change from being a tight-assed scold subject to misogynistic pranks to a fully formed woman was necessary. Loretta Swit made it happen naturally. RIP.

This is what I meant - they're trying to downplay & spin it all as 'passionate' differences of opinion - HAH! That is BS. The atmosphere in The White House has devolved (not that it had far to go) to the point of physically fighting each other. Grab the popcorn - it will only go downhill from here.
