I'm calling it: "Start smoking" is going to be mainstream MAHA / Republican health advice by 2028. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
There is no rigorous evidence that Gundry’s lectin-free diet works and may actually be harmful, according to Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. Gundry has also pushed questionable theories about other health topics too. In an episode on the popular Doctor Mike’s YouTube channel in defense of his diet, Gundry argued that smoking can actually make some people live longer. It finally took my pro-vaccine dad reading Gundry’s Wikipedia page—which includes Gundry’s claim in an abstract that mRNA Covid vaccines “dramatically increase” inflammation—for him to leave me alone on this topic. A Reuters report says that Gundry’s abstract, which also received an extensive correction, doesn’t contain “reliable evidence.” Conversely, research does show that Covid vaccines decrease inflammatory markers when people get a Covid infection.

Hobsbawm came to Edinburgh in the early 2000s to give a talk in honor of Kiernan. Afterwards he responded to a question that pushed back on his Marxism with "We're the last one's left, so you'd better listen to us!"

Texas Republicans doing recruitment for us.
A post from the Comal County (TX) Republican Party:

Democratic Socialists of America

The DSA's mission is to replace capitalism with democratic socialism by shifting economic and political power from corporations and wealthy owners to workers and the public.

Is this what you want for America?

This came across my IG feed and it's too good to not share here
A pie chart labeled "benefits of staying in academia after PhD" where the categories are salary, wellness, stable mental health, and confidence for your future. They are each associated with a different color. The pie chart has four pieces of different sizes and colors. But the colors in the pie chart do not match the colors Associated with the four items supposedly being visualized here.

It should be taught in school the degree to which most of the states of the future Confederacy became police states in the 1840s & 50s. Postal & press censorship, pass laws, residency limits, travel controls, one-party rule, pretty much the full range of totalitarianism without 20th Century tech.

Quite a few otherwise sensible people posting very silly things about the military conflict in Superman 25. Yes, Jarhanpur scans as generic global south, but Boravia is clearly somewhere in eastern Europe. The conflict is a rorschach for whatever you, the viewer, happen to bring to it.

my friend Darren said all AI sounds like Crow’s Rutherford B. Hayes report; he’s right
Crow: Rutherford B. Hayes was born humbly to his own son, Rutherford B.
Hayes Jr., in Delaware, while it was still ohio, some time after the French Revolution. Rejecting a career as a professional speller, he was admitted to the bar in 1845, though he did not drink lustfully from it. Serving heroically in the Civil War, Hayes admitted later that it was in the army he first tasted human flesh. In 1876, Hayes beat Bill Tilden in a three-set quarterfinal at Flushing Meadows, which caused the electrical college to declare him President of the United States.

Joel: Uh, crow, you just kind of threw this together, didn't you?

Crow: Please, Joel. I'm quoting from the World Book, Chapter H. Here are a few of the highlights of the administration of Rutherford B. Hayes: In 1877, Reconstruction ended and Jacques Derrida was named Secretary of Linguistics, and the era of deconstruction began, and continues to this day.

Tom Servo: I just don't think...Crow: Thomas Edison invented the pornograph, beginning the age of pornography. President Hayes then passed the Hayes Act, started the Hayes Office, won fame as an American lyric tenor, and was named Archbishop of New York in 1919.

Gypsy: I think he's lying.

Crow: No I'm not! After he retired he founded the original ZZ Top with James Garfield and Chester Alan Arthur, shocked the world with a publicity stunt, then, on a bet, he made a tent out of the underwear of William Howard Taft and lived inside for a full year. Well, he did! And in later years Hayes retired from the stage and did a series of memorable character parts in Hollywood. Who could forget the time he was slapped by Jacqueline Bisset in the 1971 Universal movie “Airport?" And then, after inventing ringworm, Hayes died. His last words were, "I have only one life to live, let me live it as a blonde!"

Crow: The End.
