I haven't looked at the research but Im guessing that the effect of high fever or unchecked maternal pain is not good for a developing fetus

Lots of people asked me for the clip of Charlie Kirk's hatred in his own words. I posted it to YouTube shorts but they blocked it, so here you go! I didn't collect the first 90 seconds, that was floating around social media already.

there's a lot going on and I'm tired of trying to rush to have well-formed opinions. So I bring you one of my most unshakable opinions, one that I arrived at years ago and hasn't changed: long grapes are the best grapes

If you say 'heteronormative' or 'unhoused person' or 'food insecurity' you're basically talking gibberish and nobody can understand you but if you say you can see inflammation in children at the airport and that vaccines lower IQ or that germs are a myth you get to fire all the scientists.

From “out of the blue” to celebrating 15 years of supporting the craft of science writing, we’re still here doing our part to uphold a functioning democracy. Help us celebrate another 15 years. #TON15 www.theopennotebook.com/15thannivers...

An image of a woman smiling that includes the following quote: Proper praise for The Open Notebook would first observe how essential good science writing is to a functioning democracy, and how few resources exist to develop it. It would then note how TON's emergence from out of the blue as the hub that I and every other science writer respect gather at to discuss our stories and hone our skills underscores its uncanny sense for how to fill that need.

I have many thoughts about this but I'll leave it at this: the commitment to bigotry among leading atheists is functionally indistinguishable from the Christian Nationalist commitment because they support the same politics
