The CDC can fuck right off with this anti vaxxer Bull shit. Infant vaccines do not cause autism.
Neurodivergent parents cause autism.
And yes, it has been scientifically proven.
CDC has overhauled its website to assert that “the claim ‘vaccines do not cause autism’ is not an evidence-based claim”

Good thoughts for an 80+ woman who fell and hit her head today. 😔Now she has a small brain bleed. She's being monitored in hospital. Awake, but not alert. I don't have further details.

"Sir, you have massive injuries and are losing a lot of blood. We need to get you to a hospital!"

"Hold on a sec. I just need to call around and do some comparison shopping to make sure I'll get the best price."
Cassidy: "If she goes and gets 2 types of shampoo & one is a dollar cheaper, she'll get the cheaper one & the other lowers their price. Once you give her the power of making the decision, she's gonna shop -- that begins to save her money and squeezes waste out of the healthcare system."

Crap. Never ending crap.
Nationwide, 65 outbreaks are currently active. They're on top of the 540 outbreaks previously seen across Canada since March 2022. Altogether, they've impacted an estimated 16,307,800 domestic birds.

This is so painful

A person I love is sick in an ICU in Montreal. Intubated, on dialysis. Perfectly healthy guy, brilliant, generous. He got Legionnaires Disease, likely because of dirty HVAC.

There is no vaccine for it…but Flu, Covid and pneumonia kill people and DO have vaccines #cdnpoli
Remember the 800 times I’ve said you cannot contain the “let er rip” attitude to just covid? Humans don’t think like that. This was always an obvious consequence, and it’s their own damn fault.

It is International Men’s Day and I just wanted to remind you lads that I love you and hope you’re taking care of yourselves. That thing that you think isn’t a big deal? Get it checked before it’s too late. And for Pete’s Dragon’s sake, talk to friends or a professional if you need to.

NEW investigation from me!

Did some organizations that got Ontario government grants for job training go on to raise salaries for people at the top?

Yesterday me & M cleaned up the yard and put stuff in the shed. I realized that we had a bunch of stuff that needed to go to the dump directly because we have the $mall bin for regular pick up. So we did that today. I'm tired but we need to eat & I need to bring mom more Bailey's.

Share a TV series you've watched from beginning to end more than once.
There are several. Current one I'm finishing up watching again.

I'm really sorry. I realize now that I should not have chosen to be born into a family with a history of skin cancer and a high risk for psoriatic arthritis. I'm sorry that I didn't make healthier choices before I existed. I'll do better next time.

New article from me about the Marshall Islands becoming the first country with a Universal Basic Income, what the details are, how it came to be, and what may come next.

Side note: It's hard to express how big a deal this is, especially for me personally. I hope this is the first of many dominoes.

Women win two governorships earlier this month. Female voters bolster said candidates. Sexual assault survivors force the president and the speaker of the House to tap out to uncover the truth about the most notorious pedophile. Women's anger can be a powerful tool.

IN FACT one of my consistent notes early on in SGU was "every bullet you fire is one you don't have for later," because the conceit of the show was they were entirely cut off from supply restock. Likewise, fewer people died over the series run because of me, but a lot more got survivably injured.
in my head I was crediting you with "all the redshirts got killed off in episode 1" and ammo counting.
