He was just a boy!

There’s a whole article explaining Biden’s behavior-

Memo to Lara Trump: call Sean Spicer and ask him about “Holocaust centers”. Or maybe you two could take a history class together.

• According to an employee at Twitter, using an algorithm-driven content filter to get rid of white supremacist content would lead to getting rid of some Republicans’ accounts. I’m shocked. [Motherboard]

“It was one of the worst things that ever happened to Germany,” she adds.’

And all it took was another run at the White House to “motivate” Joe to apologize!

“Naturally Vice President Mike Pence used the opportunity to blatantly lie to our nation’s children. Pence was “asked how many vacation days he and other White House officials get in a year.” “We work with a president who never stops working,” Pence replied. The response of one child? “That’s weird.”

Yeah, I’m in no way condoning this, but both times I quit my antidepressant because going to a doctor is really hard to work out the logistics and executive planning. 

If the government is going to mandate that they must have the child, then the government should pay, soup to nuts for that child.

So you think denying education to kids because of their PARENT’S clothing is reasonable. Fuck off.

If they want to be honest, they need to tell the patient about the many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many times more risk of dying in childbirth than dying from an abortion. Especially for women of color. It really does boggle the mind how religious centers can outright lie to…

I would love to see people protest outside of them, just as people protest outside of abortion providers.

To all the people complaining...

If you do need to stop taking your meds for some reason, I hope you have a good doctor to work with. Mine flatly denied the existence of discontinuation syndrome and told me to just stop cold turkey. I came up with what felt like the world’s longest tapering plan (far more gradual than the guide linked in the…

I’d be careful with this and realize it can take a LONG time to go off even prozac!

While some people legitimately need their meds long term, some folks DO want to get off their meds. I was on prozac because I needed it at one particular time in my life. I didn’t really need it any more, but my PCP kept me on it after…

And if you are going to quit benzos after long term use DEFINITELY do this with assistance from your doctor. With all the talk about how addictive opioids are it is amazing that people don’t talk more about issues with benzos. There are people who taper their doses and it takes years for them to ween themselves off…

I couldn’t agree more this is just scratching the surface around the ad itself and in no way dives deep into issues around the test itself like: privacy, data shelf life and sharing, accuracy for non-European populations, interpretation and the complexity around non-European genetic architecture (allele frequencies…

I don’t even know why anyone gives up their genetic information like this, what possible good can come from it? Not much that I can think of (unless you have some sort of genetic disorder & it’s helpful to your doctor to already have your genetic information handy and how often does that happen?) but there’s a whole…

I have an even more basal objection to all of this: the enormous violations of privacy and autonomy that compose the business model of these genetic testing companies.

Won’t someone rid me of this meddlesome turtle...
