Well, if there’s anyone whose opinion we can trust about the fair treatment of black people, it’s def the heir of an apartheid fortune.

Ayla’s mother had three prior pregnancies, all of which developed Pompe. Even with treatment, two of her children passed before age three, while the family decided to terminate the other pregnancy upon confirming the diagnosis.

I am enthralled by His Noodly Appendages.

It’s fucking bonkers. Right-wing American Zionists like Sheldon Adelson and those bought by AIPAC have directly given rise to the mainstreaming of antisemitism and actual Neo-Nazism in the US.

“..very conservative Jewish folk who tolerate all sorts of bad behavior from politicians because of Israel or something.”

Maybe not the hero they wanted... but the hero they deserved.

I really don’t care for this study design. This is almost intent-to-treat analysis. In a treatment study, that means that if you are assigned to the experimental treatment arm, you are included in that group when the data is analyzed, even if you never get the treatment or only get it for a short time. That is a…

I can honestly believe that the puzzle writers were too stupid to know the origins of this rhyme, and that this was done from ignorance instead of malice.

Is there ever a good time to bite someone’s nose off?

As a retired physician, if I communicated to my patients the way lawyers communicate with me, I would have spent half my life in court explaining to juries why I couldn’t speak to my poor patients in plain language.

Plus, also: Polio

The entire idea of crypto is garbage and I can’t for the fad to pass.

Having not read the books, and definitely not having read any of the wikis that spoil everything, I feel Rhaenyra will ascend to the throne immediately after her father’s death, as the rightful heir to the Iron Throne. She will have a long reign as a wise and strong ruler, and Westeros will live happily ever after. 

Trump’s worldview may be hard to pin down into a coherent ideology

A mostly good speech except for one phrase: “MAGA Republicans.” They are simply Republicans. Every single one of them. Back in Biden’s day, a Democratic senator could wine and dine in their club (or on their boat). Today, Republicans are a violent white nationalist party and a serious threat to our safety. 

Shit, you think any of the “religious right” actually read the bible? It’s just a strong loophole for discrimination under the protection of ....anti-religious discrimination.

My cousin is stomping mad about this speech.

The difference between dealerships and “most store-fronts” is that in most store-fronts there is a clear marked price and that is the price you pay for the object you are buying. You don’t grab a box of cereal from the shelf, take it to the cashier, and then get a hard sales pitch to buy additional (unnecessary) add-on…

Never understood the wind farms spoil the view. Wind farms are actually cool and I get a pop of positive energy when I see them!

It’s only smart to extend the life of older plants and build new where possible. The capacity gap from the very short sighted closing of facilities is filled with fossil fuels more often than not until cleaner solutions are brought online. It’s encouraging these countries/states that were making the mistake of…
