⚠️TYLENOL & AUTISM—RFK Jr & Trump are wrong—the largest best study in the world in 2.5 MILLION KIDS—found no increased autism risk with acetaminophen (aka paracetamol/Tylenol). A crude analysis found only a tiny 5% risk, but once you adjust via sibling controls, the even tiny 5% risk vaporizes to 0%📉

Many years ago my eldest told me she wanted to be a “fashion girl” when she grew up. I told her science was fashionable. She’s a chemical engineer now. I regret nothing.

If you feel bad about Charlie Kirk. Just remember, he said empathy was a made up new age term that did a lot of damage. So he wouldn't want you to feel bad about it.

Worn #onthisday in 1944 by college sweethearts Gordon Habayashi and Esther Schmoe at their #wedding in Spokane, WA. It made headlines because Hirabayashi was out on bail; he'd been imprisoned for refusing to complete a selective service form questioning Japanese-American loyalty to the US. #OTD 📷NPG

Crockett: Instead of the President cosplaying as the next pope, he may want to cosplay as an actual President of these United States.
That means he may have to do a little bit of research and understand that he swore a an oath to defend and protect the constitution.

Allow me to address the elephant in the room: The decades-long outsourcing of domestic manufacturing to China was not an insidious Chinese conspiracy for dominance but the greedy strategy of the American ruling class to explode its profit margins by exploiting global inequality.
