There’s not enough discussion of how awful Jordan Love’s mustache is. He might become an all pro if he wasn’t so dragged down by that thing

Baby is going to be 3 months old tomorrow. I keep hearing that he should be coup-ing, but he seems awfully young to overthrow the government.
I think it makes more sense to focus on more achievable things like making various baby noises

“One of the more deranged people in the Trump admin” turned out to be an understatement

People with epilepsy/strokes/dementia are not at some especially elevated risk of meningitis/encephalitis, and if they come in looking sick/encephalopathic, that probably shouldn’t be your first thought

One of the many annoying things about the recent Tylenol stuff is that there actually ARE significant health issues related to poor public awareness of acetaminophen’s potential adverse effects (severe liver toxicity in overdose), and INSTEAD of that, we’re talking about nonsense regarding autism
