“After their visit, Hindu priests closed the temple for an hour to “purify” the temple”

I was at the Pete show last night and I’m surprised Jez chooses to focus on the fact he talked about Ariana and not about the fact that he basically shit all over Louis CK.

The most depressing choice is that no one’s gettin’ after that cheese plate.

This is why people need to actually listen to or read the lyrics to a song before getting fauxraged about them on the internet. If you had come that, you’d already know she says nothing disrespectful about him in the song. She also did him and all of the exes the courtesy of previewing ‘Thank U Next’ beforehand to…

Talking about it during his stand up set doesn’t equal mad tho. His tone sounds jovial, there’s no anger in those words, I...don’t think the dude seems mad at all.

From what I read here, he doesn’t seem mad? He just... talked about it.

SMASHED PENIS IN BETWEEN TWO WHEELBARROWS

That breaks my heart to think about, but we have the same issue in rural farmland areas around here. People dumping dogs. I have a cat who was left with its litter, as super young kittens, in a box in a fast food parking lot. She was the only one to survive and ended up being the “resident cat” at a vet’s office.…

Shelters and pet shops are not allowed to sell animals over the holiday period in some places, which really should be a national law if possible, as far as I’m concerned.

Yep. our local shelter actually will not do an adoption over the holiday period and will actively encourage people looking earlier in the month to hold off on bringing the animal home until after holiday craziness.

I live in the Midwest and my neighbor works for our county animal control. In the past 5 days their population of dogs, cats, ferrets and chinchillas has gone up four-fold. Can you guess why?

Measles is a greater immediate health threat than rubella (the “R” of the MMR), but the first wave of “The MMR vaccine causes autism!” kids are now 20. They are of the age to be pregnant, and have no immunity to rubella.

Another example of why herd immunity is so important!

I’m also not immune to rubella - I’ve been vaccinated against it twice, but apparently my system doesn’t respond to the vaccine correctly. (Measles and mumps, yes; rubella, no.) So I also rely on herd immunity to be safe. I really, really worried about it when I was pregnant. So many people don’t understand that the…

What would you trust:

The sad part is some anti-vaxxers believe that if their kids get one of these illnesses, they can be cured because medicine is more advanced than it was 50-100 years ago.  Failing to realize the reason these diseases are so rare is because the vaccines are the cure.  

I have a family philosophy that nobody gets preventable diseases.

“were of the family philosophy not to vaccinate.”

My biggest wish for 2019 is that people, worldwide, stop being so fucking stupid. Not just about vaccinations, but about everything. In lieu of that, I wish that only the stupid people would be harmed by their stupidity instead of all of us suffering along with them. 

Science will always be true even if you don’t believe it. Thanks modern medical science for keeping me alive with medicine and vaccines! And fuck off to the morons who believe one discredited paper from someone whose licence was stripped over a huge body of scientific evidence.
