Some of y'all reply to stuff with things I wouldn't say to people I actually knew well. I have to wonder - is it because you don't think of the person you're replying to as a full and real human? Is it just intense parasocial behavior? Or are y'all just that weird and rude always?

To be clear: the updated statements are *complete shameless lies, no exceptions.* Vaccines *do not cause autism.* This is backed up by *overwhelming* evidence. The CDC is actively lying directly to the American people. Any journalist who doesn't lead with a demand for adv explanation needs to quit.
HEADS UP: CDC website now officially asserts that vaccines may cause autism.“Studies supporting a link have been ignored by health authorities.” Also says the “vaccines do not cause autism” header remains b/c of an agreement with Cassidy.

I really hate it when scientists keep saying that “we need to rebuild trust in science,” because it implies that scientists are to blame for the mistrust rather than the millions of dollars of dark money that have funded political attacks on science in order to advance a far right agenda.

Overall this one's on the south side of "decent" but there's parts of a better B-noir in there and Jean Gillie is good enough to stand out here. Good backstabbing, some banger lines; for a lean 75 minutes it drags more than you'd think.

The only thing that Marjorie Taylor Greene apologized for is taking part in "toxic politics." And all that means is that she's going to use a softer voice when trying to disenfranchise black people and strip us of our civil rights. www.cnn.com/2025/11/16/p...

One of the strangest aspects of aging that they don't warn you about is watching as history gets rewritten right in front of your face and people 20 years younger than you confidently tell you about something you lived through and get it completely wrong.

Would love to have seen an animated Zelda Movie, but I'm going to keep an open mind about what they're doing. Video game films have been on the rise in terms of quality, and I'm hoping that they carry on with that trend.
Here's a little Link from Legend of Zelda. I don't remember when I first did this, but it's my little tribute to my favorite Zelda game, A Link to the Past. As a kid, I just loved getting link to just pick up bushes looking for money. Then flinging a bush at a bad guy to make them turn into smoke.
