The disappearance of America’s leadership class at a time like this means that the rest of us have to be leaders. We can no longer wait to be led by those with the power and authority to lead. You must lead, I must lead, all of us must lead. We are the leaders we’ve been waiting for.

The same prick who gives me a headache every day now wants to outlaw Tylenol.
serenejean.bsky.social (@serenejean.bsky.social) reply parent
That’s because Tylenol is toxic to the liver and it’s on the fucking label not to exceed the recommended dose over a 24 hour period. Yet every year people attempt suicide with it and permanently damage their liver. It’s the dose that makes the poison!

Jimmy Kimmel isn't returning to the airwaves because of "thoughtful conversations" with Disney executives. He's back because consumers sent Disney a clear message: selling out our fundamental rights is not an acceptable cost of doing business.

And the “increasing number of children with autism” is more likely due to improved diagnosis rather than any actual increase in the rate of autism among children. My opinion, but seams likely. As a child of the 60s, I remember many kids just lumped together in remedial schools w/o diagnosis.
