Scientists Just Developed A Blood Test That Can Diagnose Chronic Fatigue And Long Covid
It's not available yet, but it could lay the groundwork for faster diagnoses and, potentially, additional treatments.

We allowed this moral rot in society when we started those countdown timers for actresses turning 18 that we had watched literally grow up from babies in popular family shows.

The fact is this shit goes deeper than Epstein, and it’s something we do really need to reckon with on a societal level

There's no problem Vance won't blame on immigrants, even if he has to invent the problem himself.

A few weeks ago he was insisting immigrants lived in cramped squalor and their (white) neighbors had a right to be upset about that.

Now they're so rich they're snatching up all the good houses? OK.
JD Vance: "A lot of young people are saying housing is way too expensive. Why is that? Because we flooded the country with 30 million illegal immigrants who were taking houses that ought by right go to American citizens."

you could fact check this — there aren’t 30 million illegal immigrants and there is no evidence that the presence of an immigrant in say houston has any impact on housing in madison, wisconsin — or you could note straightforwardly that this is just nazi rhetoric

What Clinton could do, if he had a spine, is fall on his sword. He could cop to his own behavior and dish on the rest of these monsters. Sure, he’d be a pariah like Andrew, but he could clean the whole mess up on his way out the door.
The right thinks the left will fight to protect Bill Clinton. The actual left thinks the middle will fight to protect Bill Clinton. But I want to believe — tonight as winter creeps closer, and even the tiniest glimmer of hope is impossibly precious — that nobody would protect Bill Clinton.

This is the funniest possible image to be an alt text scold about
Here’s that image with alt text.

Without it, blind & low-vision people are excluded from accessing what you post, since screen-readers generally cannot do images (even images of text).

Also, search & mute words cover alt text, so it lets people find or avoid your post if they want to.

Meanwhile, here's an example of the horrendous things found in Hillary Clinton's emails—the only story worth covering for any serious news outlet in 2016, apparently.

This email is also regarding a child who suffered abuse from a grown man.
