Mulligan’s mother Liz, 39, said: “I thought the essential oils would calm her symptoms and correct the chemical imbalances causing her outbursts. A mummy blogger said so, and running a blog basically makes you Hippocrates.”
Essential oils fail to cure child’s autism, succeed in making her smell like cat piss
A mother’s attempt to cure her child’s autism using essential oils has only resulted in making her smell as if a cat has urinated all over her, witnesses have claimed. Ellie Mulligan, seven, had just…

Key takeaway of 2025: Bluesky is an enormous activism force that punches above its weight. The paypros censorship stuff? This site is the one that’s getting us to the 20 yard line. The initial interest in the summer hasn’t returned to Twitter, whereas Bluesky is now the de facto source on this issue

you're telling me a right-wing catholic convert is just a protestant in disguise? shocked
In newly leaked audio, Peter Thiel admits he urged JD Vance to ignore Pope Leo XIV on moral questions — including the ethical development of AI.
He goes even further, branding Leo “the woke American pope” and suggesting he’s a tool of the Antichrist.

「ナチスは「良いこと」もしたのか？」読了。田野先生・小野田先生がネットの床屋政談マンに散々絡まれたことから出た本。一見良いことであると思われる施策を「それはナチスの独創であったか」「どういう意図で行われたか」「結果はどうであったか」を切り分けて読み解く。結論はナチ以前からあったワイマールの政策や世界的な潮流にポピリュズムの上から軽薄に乗って手柄を過剰に宣伝したものであり、それは全て軍事上の要求や略奪の文脈であり、しかもほぼ企画倒れに終わっているという始末。正直これくらいの容量でよくまとめたなという本なので、これも読めないようなバカがTIKTOKの切り取り動画だけ見て評してるんだろうなと思います

I've been cured of my A Song of Ice and Fire obsession. Martin's never publishing another book, and HBO's adaptations of his work are trash.

I still think about BOOBS from time to time.
"Snake, Miller here. I see you've found a pair of BOOBS. To equip BOOBS, press the left trigger to open your tools menu, then use the left stick to select BOOBS. They reduce your camo index by 5%, but will distract the enemy if you're spotted."

Related: I feel like a lot of the piracy vs buying discourse (🤢 that this is even a thing) gets framed as stealing money from individual authors vs. stealing from faceless corporate publishers when for most authors it’s about whether or not they’ll get to publish another book.

I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.
I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.
