The President of the United States is a liar.

It makes me feel unwell to think of the kinds of taxes I've paid, on my own and on behalf of others, that have paid for things I haven't agreed to.

Today I learned that baby cranes are called "colts" because their legs are so long and they can run around like idiots shortly after hatching. This is delightful, I enjoy knowing this.

I do follow some news. I don't have spoons for most of it. I will typically find spoons for the Joseph Smith sphinx.

BASH: You have been one of the leading voices questioning the efficacy of vaccines. Do you accept some responsibility for this measles outbreak? RFK Jr: Absolutely not

Gahhhh

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 3d ago

BASH: I want you to use your bully pulpit to tells parents who have not vaccinated their kids that they should vaccine their kids for measles. Will you do that? Look into the camera RFK Jr: I'll say it right now. Parents should get their children vaccinated for measles.

Valuable lesson from successful protest movements, insurgent warfare, other asymmetric competitions: The bigger side wants a contest of force, because it has more material resources and physical capabilities. The smaller side can win if it makes the fight a contest of something else, such as ideas.

Guys, the best weapons to protect your neighbors from ICE are NOT GUNS They are CAMERAS, WHISTLES, and a well-organized RAPID RESPONSE AND NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH SYSTEM. ICE is better-armed than you'll ever be. But they like to rely on secrecy, and you can make it much harder for them to be secret.

Also, every ceiling you smash leaves a gap for what I hope is a bunch more talented autistic creators to come up behind you. I hope to be one of them, and I'll be grabbing hold of anyone else I find on my own journey. The world better prepare to be very aware of a bunch of autistics.

I am also not thrilled, and you should be less than thrilled also. This is an unethical choice, DABC.

Thank you, Carol Ann. I'm not sure my mom would have been quite as understanding toward things I'm deeply passionate about without your influence before I was born. Thank you for everything 💖

The headline is correct. "Legendary" is the only way to describe Carol Lynn Pearson. I had the privilege to meet her and she was such a kind and wonderful person. My condolences to her family and friends. #Utah

Public health nurses have been pulled from other duties in Washtenaw County, MI, to call hundreds of people sick with cyclosporiasis, and try to help them remember everything they ate in recent days.

My unvaccinated brother died of COVID in 2021. I was about a year and a half into my epidemiology career. Healthcare staff did absolutely everything they could but they cannot cure ignorance. They cannot cure an anti-science belief and culture. Thats YOUR responsibility. Not Dr. Fauci’s.

He most certainly does not.

In November 2025, I hit my head at home twice within six days. When people have concussions, many recover pretty solidly and don't experience huge disruptions to their lives. I'm not one of those people.

Damn, this made me chuckle.😆

How to keep cool in this year's extreme summer heat even without air conditioning

"Extreme heat" is in the forecast this summer. How do people cope if they don't have air conditioning? Here are suggestions from a heat researcher who grew up in a very hot, AC-less place.

Honestly, this could show a lot of promise. I speak regularly with providers (mental health, ophthalmology, and GP) as well as public health professionals in both informal and care settings. Unprompted, every single one brought up reduction of intrusive craving thoughts and SUD potential. Excite!

With the promise that GLP-1 drugs, approved for diabetes and weight loss, can also treat ailments such as cancer and heart disease, the government is now exploring if they can reduce alcohol abuse among U.S. military veterans.

A bit of buggy whimsy before the day gets too hot. I present: the most pensive praying mantis

I very much do not want a funeral when I pass. And you'd best believe I would haunt any brothertrucker with the guts to say that I was good for ratings at my damn unwanted funeral.

Spent 40 years in healthcare. The GOP has done everything it can to stop progress. HIV, the GOP refuses to give us the equipment and support we needed. All the way up to Covid. Okay MAGA tell me again about how important human life is to you? Seriously stfu. 🤬 That’s the rant for today.

It has never been more over. If LinkedIn, the number one app for posting brain dead slop is finally letting users flag this, sell everything.

Oh my God, this is not a drill - LinkedIn has added 'seems like AI slop' as an option on posts Genuinely thought it was a joke until I clicked on a few posts

61 years ago, Medicaid was signed into law. 1 year ago, the GOP gutted it to fund tax cuts for the rich. Today, 61 co-sponsors are joining together to hold the GOP accountable for closing hospitals, terminating coverage for 15 million, and raising costs for us all. #HealthcareHeist
