I would rather have a better candidate. Someone who appeals to a broad coalition of progressives, lefties, liberals and general non-nazis, and now is the time to look for that person. We’re 3 years from the Presidential election - it’s way too early to anoint Newsom or pretend that he’s the only alternative to Trump’s 3rd term.
My understanding is that they removed “MMRV” - the combined Measles, Mumps, Rubella, and Varicella - shot, presumably in favor of “MMR+V” - on Measles + Mumps + Rubella shot and a second Varicella shot, which has been the ‘default’ practice for under-4s anyway. Parents have had the option to use the 1-shot MMRV instead of the 2-shot MMR+V, and removing MMRV from recommendation will (I assume) eliminate that option.
Slightly ironic, given that RFK Jr was just complaining how kids these days have to get “90 injections” to be fully vaccinated, that the MMRV move will essentially add an injection to the vaccination schedule.
Honestly, as acts of appeasement go, a fancy dress party seems about the least humiliating thing a country can agree to. Play king for a day, like Make-A-Wish for senile fascists. If that settles the tariff negotiations, then well done.
Probably edited by the Guardian. They don’t do as much sanewashing as US media, but I don’t think anyone but comedians quotes Trump verbatim.
A lot of those 45+ are in two-earner households. They might be ok independent of each other, but not at the same level. Then the whole retiree population…is someone on social security ‘financially supporting themself?’
I used to wonder how Lysenko pulled all of that off. Like, they were backward days in a backward country, and the whole world was still just kind of getting the hang of science. But now, here’s RFK Jr who doesn’t even believe in germs, filling our science administration with lackeys, half the country cheering him on, and I’m thinking that university grant departments are going to be getting Political Officers soon.
It’s time for America’s Great Leap Forward.
The firings will continue until the numbers look good.
He may not be [legally] able to do whatever he wants, but SCOTUS has said he can’t be prosecuted, or even questioned, for anything he does, so what exactly stops him? Just that, sometime after the fact, if they get around to it, a court might reverse his action. (until SCOTUS gets it on the shadow docket)
Laws without penalties are just gentlemen’s agreements.
So, the same reason I have a dog and not a unicorn.
I mean, if I have to choose between a genocidal neoliberal and a genocidal fascist, I’ll take the neoliberal.
What I really want to know is why can’t we have a party with popular, mainstream, progressive policies? Just sitting here hoping that Mamdani can hammer some sense into those morons.
Lol. You think this court cares what happened in 2013?
People will accept either intelligence or stupidity. They will pay for a flattering sycophant.
Room temperature above 24°C, no blanket. Above 26°C, I don’t even need a sheet, but I’ll usually keep it, because cold air from the A/C sometimes disturbs me.
I know plenty of people who insist on cooling their room at night so that they can be comfortable under a blanket.
I’m used to ‘Packaged in the USA’ labeling on Made in [somewhere else] products. ‘Designed’…same-same, definitely since NAFTA, maybe before. The bible verses are new to me.
Genocide is not a good solution to high food prices.
Sausage has the extra benefit that it’s already seasoned, so you don’t have to add extra.
While only ~10% of corn is human food (including corn syrup), the rest is about evenly split between ethanol production and animal feed (~45% each). https://www.ers.usda.gov/topics/crops/corn-and-other-feed-grains/feed-grains-sector-at-a-glance
I mean, ethanol for fuel isn’t great, and it represents most of the new corn consumption over the last 20 years, but an enormous amount of US corn goes to pigs and cattle.
Yeah, I would have thought student loan debt to be disqualifying for thugs. Maybe they’re focused on dropouts.
Right wing nutjobs don’t give a fuck when kids get shot because it’s not their kid. Just some anonymous nobody(s) that are probably forgotten before they’re done typing “Thoughts and prayers.” Charlie Kirk was a person. He was approved of. He had ideas. They knew his name, if not any of his actual ideas. You can’t just go around insulting, much less shooting, actual people.
Empathy. The missing ingredient is empathy.
