Can someone explain to me how this elderly man, after receiving CPR, has the core strength to sit in front of (but not against!) the pillows behind him? Creases and shadows aren't consistent with someone lying on them. Pilates?

You either get to complain that Americans should be more fertile and less autistic, OR you put in fertility-reducing chemicals in our food tied to autism. You don't get to do both. Pesticides ARE linked to autism, you idiots: pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...

Politicians figuring out messaging while voters just want the government to work for them, for public servants to serve the public... Dems might want to, but our messaging sucks. Why and how to fix it: substack.com/@psycheduppo...

"We will fix it?" Yes, I'd put a question mark there, too.
Truth Social post from Trump saying, "Work will begin immediately on fixing the seriously vandalized Reflecting Pool. I just inspected it, and could only say to myself, and those gathered around me, WOW, who would do such a thing? SICK, DERANGED PEOPLE! We will fix it? President DJT.

Maybe the reason it "always" used to "work out well in the end" is because there were competent people who made it do so in spite of you. And then you fired all of them. We're not so confident that it'll "work out well in the end" this time.

It's not just censorship that should worry us. My post here unpacks several ways that the press is gaslighting us in the name of proper journalism. open.substack.com/pub/psychedu...
