ACOG reaffirms that acetaminophen is safe for managing pain and fever during pregnancy. No reputable studies support suggestions like those in HHS’s recent announcement linking acetaminophen use in pregnancy to autism; in fact, high-quality studies show no such risk. https://bit.ly/47Wxc59

The Supreme Court has consistently and overwhelmingly been made up of elite, powerful, white men who have interpreted that law in ways that protect people like themselves. The Warren Court was a blip and much of that has been and is being actively undone. This Court is the norm.

I finally watched Macbeth (2015 w Fassbender/Cotillard), a play I had somehow never seen or read in my decades of Shakespeare nerditry.
Shakespeare’s always relevant but the best part today was when Macduff screamed “Tyrant, show thy face!”

Dearest Martha,
The National Guard stand solemn watch at the Krispy Kreme tonight. I cannot tell if they defend the people from the donuts, or the donuts from the people. Powdered sugar hangs in the air like cannon smoke. Jensen took a hot coffee to the face, he may never recover.
