Anti-vaxxers love to pretend they are not anti-vaxxers by claiming that they are just “asking questions.”

Don’t be fooled. Casting doubt about rigorous peer reviewed science doesn’t mean you are just “asking questions,” it means you are a conspiracy theorist.

This graph is astonishing. The people that bang on about “natural birth” and “women have been doing this forever without help” need to be forced to stare at this until their eyes water.
Graph of maternal mortality rate against year for the UK. Rate bounces until and down around 500 deaths per 100,000 births until about 1940, when it falls sharply. It’s been very low (~1–3 per 100,000) ever since.

git discussion bingo card
a bingo card with * WTF is detached HEAD state * I hate git * git's design is so elegant * I've used git for 10 years and I have no idea how it works * commits are immutable snapshots * just use magit * git is a directed acyclic graph * you have to understand the linux kernel dev workflow * mercurial is better * git is not github * subversion was so much worse * I only know 5 commands * a branch is just a pointer to a commit * the CLI is badly designed * you should just read Pro Git * rewriting history is bad * just spend 15 minutes learning git's internals * something about "porcelain" * merge sucks, only use rebase * rebase sucks, only use merge * I just do not care how git works * content addressed storage * subversion was better * something about Linus Torvalds * I just delete my git repo if I mess it up
