My very talented mother-in-law.
My mother-in-law used to tell my husband, when asked, that he had freckles because she drank Freckleface strawberry juice when she was pregnant.
The Trump administration fired Librarian of Congress Dr. Carla D. Hayden as part of their sweeping book ban efforts. One of the titles removed? Freckleface Strawberry, a children’s book about self-acceptance. Seriously, who gets offended by that?

Chilling attack on scientific integrity.
Since this was published yesterday, NPR reports JAMA joins NEJM on the list of journals that confirms they’ve been sent threatening letters by Trump’s DOJ, ominously referencing their tax-exempt status in a bid to compel regime-friendly editorial choices.

A lot of Americans don't know this, but the winner of the Canadian election will be required live in a small cottage located in the backyard of the palace where the viceroy to the King of England lives.
The cottage just recently got a new wifi router, which was very exciting for all Canadians.

This is exceptionally well reported: in case after case Trump has surrendered long time US interests to favor Russia and gained nothing in return. When you put it all together it a staggering surrender.

What I hate about this case is that children’s picture books are on trial when the real issue before the court is the right of parents to remove their children from aspects of public education due to their religious beliefs.
I wanted to try and figure out how Neil Gorsuch concluded that 'Pride Puppy', an ABCs book about a lost dog at a pride parade that he insists he read, exposes kids to "bondage" and "sex workers." The answers are somehow even dumber than you can imagine. A brief thread:
I Think Neil Gorsuch Is Lying About a “Religious Freedom” Case Again
Why did Gorsuch claim that ‘Pride Puppy’, an alphabet book about a lost dog, introduces kids to bondage and sex workers? Let’s find out!

These people forget that they all had the measles vaccine.
“More than half of surveyed adults expressed uncertainty about whether to believe the false statements [about MMR vaccine], which Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has amplified”.
RFK Jr. is a clear and present danger to the health of the United States and must be removed from office.

In 1846, a doctor proved handwashing could save lives.
He was mocked by the medical establishment, lost his job, and was eventually committed to an asylum. Shortly after, he was beaten to death by attendants while trying to escape.
In some ways, medicine is still kind of like this. See why:
