I'm sure it wasn't the first time it happened, but this was the first time I noticed the pattern where conspiracy theorists declare complete vindication on the basis of LEAKED SECRET DOCUMENTS that even more strongly prove that they are wrong.

Hey chat, do vaccines cause autism

Do vaccines cause autism?

CDC pages on this topic currently do not all say the same thing. I am reporting what those official pages state, not giving medical advice.

CDC's updated autism-and-vaccines page (July 22, 2026)

On Autism and Vaccines, CDC says:

The statement "vaccines do not cause autism" is not treated as an evidence-based claim on that page, citing the Data Quality Act.

CDC says studies have not ruled out the possibility that infant vaccines contribute to autism.

CDC says scientists have not identified the root causes of autism, and HHS says it is

Legal 500 workers win full pay claim after strike action

Wednesday 30 September 2026
Share
Dozens of publishing staff at Legalease, the publishers of legal industry-bible The Legal 500, have won a dramatic victory in their industrial dispute over pay.

Staff who had been on strike for two and a half weeks accepted an offer that fully met their original pay claim of a £2000 pay increase for every worker. This was despite the company originally claiming it would not pay such an increase.

Students open up to certain faculty about what they’re going through in ways that they simply don’t with others, and that means some faculty end up carrying a much heavier emotional load as part of their everyday work.

But I also think this points to a really interesting—and often gendered (dynamic in academia), though it may also be disciplinary specific. I don’t think faculty across campus always understand how unevenly this kind of emotional labor is distributed.

You will also see a smaller push to advocate for revolutionary or justice AI. They don’t have to court those organizations. most will willingly embrace the idea of it because funding environment for non profits is so bad.

Following the Pope’s encyclical about AI, you’re going to see a lot more religious intervention in shaping public opinion about tech companies. There are only two social institutions resilient enough to counter AI politically — states and religion. They bought the first. Standby on the second.

Two men in striped pants and white shirts stand by a cart with books, under a colorful “Perfection” sign on a white brick wall. One holds up two fingers in a peace sign, the other displays a book.

It is good for your son for you to say no when you need to say no. With a toddler, that might mean teaching him not to climb on your body without asking for consent. With a teenager, that might mean helping with tasks he wants you to do that you don’t have time to do.

And the last one I’ll mention is for mothers to set boundaries in their own relationships with their sons. The way he treats you is a model for how he treats all other women. If you succumb to the social pressure to make every sacrifice for him, he will expect the same of other women too.

Another big one is teaching your son to see girls as equals. Instead of enrolling him in sex-segregated sports, introduce him to a co-ed team. And help him foster his more “feminine” interests where we can be in mixed-sex spaces, making mixed-sex friend groups.

Teach your son to wait. Teach him that other people are as important as he is. Teach him to apologize and go back to the end of the line if he made an entitled decision. Teach him that girls and women deserve respect in *all* scenarios—not just during sex.

I also always think about how little boys are permitted to behave at zoos. Every time I go to a zoo, I watch mothers apologize behind their sons’ backs as they push to the front of the crowd to see an animal. Or worse—they ask other people to move to the side to let their sons cut the line. 😬

For example, if your son misses or fails an assignment, resist the temptation to handle the situation with his teacher yourself. Let the consequences of his decision affect his grades.
