The vaccine autism thing is bullshit but even if you believed it, it seems incredibly fucked up to then believe that raising child death rates is some sort of worthwhile trade-off to reduce autism rates
BREAKING: CDC announces an unprecedented overhaul of the childhood vaccine schedule, a significant shift that recommends fewer shots for all kids.
CDC overhauls childhood vaccine schedule to resemble Denmark in unprecedented move
The new U.S. guidelines recommend all children get vaccines for 11 diseases, compared with the 18 previously on the schedule.

"If you don't call me cool and give me my lil award I'll kill as many people as possible out of spite" really does appear to be the driving animus of everyone in this administration and its adjacent oligarchy.
WH sources say Venezuela's opposition leader committed the "ultimate sin": She accepted the Nobel Peace prize.
“If she had turned it down and said, ‘I can’t accept it because it’s Donald Trump’s,’ she’d be the president of Venezuela today,” one said.

A major use-case for AI is reality destabilization.
This video, viewed millions of times on TikTok, Facebook and X, claims to show Venezuelans taking to the street to thank the US for detaining Maduro.
But the video is a combination of four AI-generated clips and was first posted on TikTok by a user who frequently shares AI videos. It's not real.

I’m one of many who grew up Catholic but never embraced Doctrine in my adulthood. Pope Francis inspired me and Pope Leo practically speaks for me. I may not embrace Doctrine, but I am happy he is practicing the version of Catholicism I learned in my youth.

It's insane that Donald Trump used Mar-a-Lago, which at one time moonlighted as a brothel that trafficked teenage girls, to serve as a war room during a kidnapping operation in a foreign country.

I loathe people like Ezra Klein who is just a public example of the incestuous big establishment club who say and write things like "Charlie Kirk did politics the right way" and have normalized Trump and MAGA for 10 years.
All of them were complicit in this bc it didn't personally affect them.

During Fiona Hill's testimony to Congress on Oct 14, 2019, she described how Trump and Putin discussed exchanging Ukraine for Venezuela. The quid pro quo was if Trump refuses to help Ukraine fight off a Russian invasion, Putin would not help Venezuela (a Russian ally) resist a US takeover.
