Many studies have shown that there is no relationship between MMR vaccine and the development of autism. Here are two of the best. This one followed every single child born in Denmark from 1991 through 1998 (n=537,303). There was no association.

Let's be clear: no one should be taking medical advice from the man who told Americans to inject bleach. To moms worried about the Tylenol they took while pregnant: you deserve better than being RFK Jr's scapegoat. And to the autism community: you are loved exactly as you are.

Once upon a time, Woodward and Bernstein/Watergate made a young girl want to study journalism in graduate school and pursue it as a career. (I spent 6 years in radio news before pivoting full time to screenwriting.) I can't fathom that this is happening. That people are letting it happen.

Going after public broadcasters is part of the playbook authoritarian leaders around the world use to clamp down on dissent and keep the public in the dark. Strong public media systems and open democracy go hand in hand. fair.org/home/cuts-to...

i love that we got 4 new hubble images today and we still continue to get more after 35 years 🥹 hubble really is the little telescope that could!!!
Composite shows four Hubble images in quarters. At top left is a crisp view of Mars in shades of orange, blues, and browns. At top right is planetary nebula NGC 2899, which is shaped like a single macaroni noodle, with its central torus appearing semi-transparent and blue and green, and its top and bottom edges in orange. At bottom left is a tiny portion of the Rosette Nebula. Very dark gray material shaped like a triangle takes up the center. At bottom right is barred spiral galaxy NGC 5335 with a milky yellow center that forms a bar surrounded by multiple blue star-filled spiral arms that wrap up counterclockwise.

I was a social security recipient from the age of 12 through 18. That’s not some weird thing or corruption. It’s called survivors’ benefits. You don’t have to know this. You’re blessed if you don’t. But if you’re going to speak publicly abt the program you need to know this.
