I have read more upsetting things. But the UCSD report is worth reading, as are the various responses to it. Grade inflation coupled with the end of tests has made a totally foreseeable outcome.
One of the most upsetting articles I've read in a long time www.theargumentmag.com/p/when-grade...
UCSD report senate.ucsd.edu/media/740347...
We are failing a generation of kids.

She’s not wrong.
When we’re born, we have about 300 bones, but over time, we end up with just 206, because many fuse together as we grow.
And here’s a fun fact: Bone is a living tissue that constantly renews itself. Your skeleton is completely new about every 7-10 years.

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

CBS went to a military food pantry (those words, in order) to interview moms. 13% of military families rely on SNAP/WIC. When a military spouse of a deployed soldier on enlisted salary was asked if people should be surprised: “No they shouldn’t. We live in poverty just like everybody else.”

NHANES is an invaluable tool that many researchers including myself use to report on conditions in the general population.
Like the fact that ~40% of 12-21yo females are iron deficient.
Tinyurl.com/JAMAFe
And so much more important work.
But they’re destroying it all.

Q: The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists put out a statement saying 'acetaminophen remains a safe option for pain relief during pregnancy.' That's at odds with you
TRUMP: That's the establishment. They're funded by lots of different groups. And you know what? Maybe they're right.

oh no. the "radical left" trying to deliver food to detained immigrants.
After hearing stories about the awful conditions inside the ICE field office in Burlington, three activists tried to deliver care packages to immigrants held inside.
Their request was denied, and they were arrested when they refused to leave the entryway. @wbur.org www.wbur.org/news/2025/09...

it's still wild to be that we've allowed these goons to rebrand what happened on january 6, 2021 as J6, like it's a music festival or the date a new star wars movie drops.
Trump: "Joe Biden and the Biden administration, they were mean people. What they did to people, what they did to J6, these were mean people. These were really radical, horrible people."
