Okay so Harmon Northrop Morse, who first synthesized Paracetamol (which is also marketed now as Tylenol, etc), was described as “quiet and uneffusive” and had a “single-minded devotion” to his work.
No proof, but this may mean there is a NONZERO chance that it is actually AUTISM that caused TYLENOL

look I'm not myself a political scientist so I can't say what effects it would have for a spate of politicians to crop up saying "the enemy is the oligarchy" and "the enemy is billionaires" while swinging a kettlebell but I think we should try it for science and see what happens
My name is Graham Platner and I’m running for US Senate to defeat Susan Collins and topple the oligarchy that’s destroying our country.
I’m a veteran, oysterman, and working class Mainer who’s seen this state become unlivable for working people. And that makes me deeply angry.

I dunno. At this point, I don't even trust any Democrat that the Democratic Party doesn't try to kneecap.

Chess analysis: By disconcertingly eating his own rook and two queen side pawns, Trump is opening up the board and affording himself various attacking and defensive plans during a congested middle game.
News Analysis: President Trump’s announcement that he could take up to two weeks to decide whether to put the U.S. into the heart of the Israel-Iran conflict is being advertised by the White House as giving diplomacy one more chance to work. But it also opens new military and covert options.
Trump Buys Himself Time, and Opens Up Some New Options
While President Trump appears to be offering one more off ramp to the Iranians, he also is bolstering his own military options.

ICE stormed into the wrong house, trashed the place, and made women/girls stand outside in the rain in their underwear. ICE also stole phones, laptops, and cash savings from the family, who moved to OKC two weeks ago.

Americans will destroy themselves with an unnecessary trade war and a potential depression because they can't stand seeing people of color and women moving up a bit and getting a small piece of the pie.

I have to say: Chuck Schumer is a weak man and a fool. This was the one cudgel Dems had. Now it's up to the courts which we new from the beginning were at best going to slow some things down. There's 18 hours left to somehow bring additional pressure to bear. It will be really hard to do that.

There’s a big exhale in the Democratic Party right now.
Everyone has been collectively holding their breath.
And finally we get to exhale and say:
