My husband was sometimes in Dubai as a very young adult...

with his 40 or so roommates, because he lived on an aircraft carrier, having joined the Navy to escape his intolerable home life

I'm talking about Penn Station to Secaucus, but I'm sure it's similar

I live not far from where he moved his family a few years ago in NJ. The scariest thing I've seen on the train home is the number of completely wasted sports fans getting off at the very first stop to pick up their cars and drive home

I mean yeah the DoD is now run by people who think war crimes are β€œcool” and β€œbased” and there need to be court martials at the end of all of this

bombing a bunch of kids is likely only the beginning of what they’ve done

I wasn't being sarcastic in the least! Everyone should get to see this level of commitment. I think about it sometimes when I don't want to let anxiety get in the way of something I need to do

I used to go to a dive bar that was a frequent stop for guardsmen on their weekend, and I think all of them were basically doing this

To buy new Pokemon cards you have to join a Discord that sends notifications to your phone or happen upon them in a retail setting before the scalpers arrive. It's completely insane because the majority of cards in the world have been printed since 2019 or someone like that

So NJ lawmakers wrote a bill to rein in ICE.

And this is what they called it.

COVID-19 vaccination status during pregnancy and preeclampsia risk: the pandemic-era cohort of the INTERCOVID consortium COVID-19 vaccination with a booster reduces the odds of PE by 30% approaching 60% reduction among women with pre-existing morbidities.

Remember when RFK Jr. unilaterally decided that COVID19 vaccines should no longer be recommended during pregnancy?

Well, COVID19 increases the risk of preeclampsia.

And it turns out that getting boosted, either before or during pregnancy, significantly reduces the risk of preeclampsia.

"But you can't make all those people US citizens"

Why not?

It shouldn't be harder to make people safe and secure in this country than it is to commit crimes against humanity.

A lot of people, including me, were wondering how an IRB could ever approve this study.

The answer is that no IRB did. The person who β€œsigned off” on approval from the only ethics board that reviewed it had resigned three years earlier. His signature was used without his knowledge.

For only the Dunk and Egg novellas? They were republished together in this one, which seems to have a new TV tie in paperback cover but should be the same as the 2015 hardback: a.co/d/03pxARX4

Came across someone in a mom forum who desperately wanted the answer to her child's developmental issues to be Not Autism and fed the kid's medical records to one. She said it gave "great ideas" to share with the kid's doctor, and I still think about that all the time

this is yet another example of DHS employees literally doing the kind of thing that would get your entire family bloodline erased in morality tales from medieval times, like, bread and salt shit

This is the key point - it's not about Moderna's flu vaccine, it's about sending a signal to the rest of the industry that vaccine development isn't viable in the US. It's all part of the larger anti-vaccine agenda.

An Olympic skater performing, overlaid with captions of Lady Gaga badly interpreted by AI as "Just applied for a baby so cruel. But then I'm a Jew, baby"

You'd think that preloading existing lyrics used in the skate programs would be something they'd have thought of, but I guess it would interrupt the hype of it all to do even minimal work

My grandmother went by her middle name, supposedly because she shared her first name with a horse in her village and it was causing too much confusion

RFK Jr.’s Picks for a Key Autism Panel Include Advocates for Bizarre Theories Among those Robert F. Kennedy Jr. recently named to a federal autism committee are people who tout dangerous treatments and say vaccine manufacturers are β€œpoisoning children.”

β€’ A doc sued for prescribing a debunked autism therapy
β€’ A man who says vaccines are β€œpoisoning children”
β€’ A woman boosting autism "treatments" using stem cells from rabbits

This is not a QAnon conference line-up, it is the people now guiding US autism research
