How many need to claim something causes autism or a chronic disease for #MAHA to think it's worth looking into? How big and how long does the study need to be? Why should someone or some group be trusted with making that call or doing the research?

AFAIK there are no perfect answers to any of these questions. There never have been. There have always been dissident voices. The only difference now is the power of the internet to multiply these dissident opinions into political pressure. #science

The image depicts a woman wearing a blue veil with yellow floral patterns, covering her head and shoulders. She has dark hair peeking out from under the veil. Her attire includes a necklace with intricate designs and large, ornate earrings. The background is dark, which contrasts with the vibrant colors of her clothing and accessories. The painting style is expressive, with visible brushstrokes adding texture to the image. The woman's eyes are blue, and she has a neutral expression, looking slightly to the side. The overall composition focuses on the woman, with the background remaining indistinct to emphasize her features and attire.

I've also been watching this space. These highly skilled and knowledgable people don't just disappear. Now they will be outside the tent pissing in.


Bought a Lenovo Legion Go for some portable handheld gaming goodness, but forgot it came with a nice install of Windows 11 which isn't going to work for me. However, after a few tries I got the NVMe drive imaged by Clonezilla (thanks IODD device) and it's now time to install something even better. Enter Bazzite. #linux #gaming

Happy to see these two Death Eaters fight but this is not the apocalypse.





Guys? I had to add an Axios story to my DOGE debunking list today. I think the story is substantially wrong and it's Axios and all. But it's still a debunking. That's what we've come to. EVEN Axios can debunk DOGE. www.emptywheel.net/portfolio-it...
