If McCain is smart, he’ll find a way leverage the sympathy this whole episode has generated and parlay it into a strong 2020 primary challenge.

The incongruity of claiming a bacterial cause while drinking raw milk boggles the mind.

I’m always deeply disturbed that these people are so quick to assume modern medicine is dangerous despite huge bodies of data suggesting otherwise, yet are more than happy to try methods that have no evidence of efficacy or safety.

This might be harsh, but this makes me so angry as an actual autistic: Any show that continues to hire Jenny McCarthy is complicit. She uses her appearances on these shows to build her platform and further her ableist and incredibly dangerous views. There is a measles epidemic in Washington and Oregon, and Jenny…

God, and the other edge of that sword - if you do absolutely everything you can and things still don’t go the way you want, obviously you just weren’t strong or determined enough.

Reports from thousands of women that breast implants are causing problems like debilitating joint pain and fatigue, claims long dismissed by the medical profession, are receiving new attention from the Food and Drug Administration and researchers.

Yup!

Given that we do not even teach the Trail of Tears in most K-12 programs, and both the Holocaust and West African Slave Trade are being either removed from or significantly softened in K-12 texts, this kind of thing is only going to get worse.

It’s a funny thing, working in academia: you’re surrounded by other highly…

“YOU CAN THANKS US ANY TIME NOW, BLACK PEOPLE.”

Jeezus, she is insufferable. Honey, you are not the first couple to figure out that if you are not assholes to each other the kids are better off. Trying to reinvent this as something other than that is pathetic.

It must be an amazing feeling to think people are so interested in your opinions you should babble that long, tired explanation out. I couldn’t get through it. That level of self-esteem must be incredible. If she could figure out how to bottle and sell that she really could rule the world.

Some mornings I wake up to pure Twitter gold.

The very next sentence explains which one it is.

Since then, we have decided as parents to consult with our pediatrician and just let him educate us and guide us.
