Boebert: What we’re seeing in LA is an insurrection
Pritzker: You don’t know understand what insurrection is. It is outrageous that you are asking that when you are the one condoning the pardoning of people that attacked police.

Anyone else getting stiffed by @unitedairlinesual.bsky.social for a cancelled flight? I was stuck for 24 hours (meaning I needed a hotel) and they're refusing to cover it.

Breast cancer diagnoses rose by over 300% between 1973 and 1992.
Was there a breast cancer epidemic?!
NO.
Mammograms were implemented for screening in 1976.
PREVALENCE is a function of being able to correctly diagnose something.
This is also about autism.
