So a pharmacists’ college is now offering a course in the nonsense pseudoscience of homeopathy… funded by a manufacturer of homeopathic products. www.friendlyatheist.com/p/homeopathy...
Homeopathy isn’t medicine. Why is this pharmacy school pretending it is?
The University of the Pacific’s Thomas J. Long School of Pharmacy is embracing 18th-century nonsense, funded by the very people who profit from it.

Consumers don’t know if their medications came from factories that used dirty water, were infested by insects or birds, or were outright banned from shipping drugs to the U.S.

We’ve lived 15 years under Citizens United, watching billionaires and corporations shape democracy with their wallets. Reform once seemed impossible. But now, a group in Montana is asking a radical question: What if states simply stopped granting corporations the power to spend in politics?

Finally got a chance to watch the @joshjohnsoncomedy.bsky.social routine about Trump and Epstein that came out a few days ago.
I am blown away that he managed to put together a full hour of stand-up about breaking news and it's somehow polished and funny as hell.
Give it a watch and share it.

I dont love roses. They are too much trouble, require too much attention and they hurt. So I don’t know why I like this one so much. The white rose my wife planted died and this simple lovely root stock makes me happy. 🌱

Andrew Susman, exec. director of the Institute for Advertising Ethics, watched the UK ad & said it violated numerous principles.
“The ad appears to present a first-person account, yet it’s unclear whether the narrator is recounting her own experience. If dramatized, that must be clearly disclosed.”

Linda Blackford: UK HealthCare made a dramatic, stirring ad about a young climber who said her cancer was cured by UK doctors. But the ad did not disclose that she was an actor, not a patient.
