PS Baby loves this record. Does his funny little sideways dance and sings along “La La La” when whatever that song is comes on. ☺️

I mean I am pretty sceptical about this ban, but if any platform qualifies for inclusion it’s Snapchat!

If only there were some way to protect against such things… say like, vaccination, and masking.

(Along with ventilation, air purifiers, and minimum standards of upkeep in homes and buildings)

“The fact that doctors don't generally recognize that mold exposure in indoor air is causing chronic health issues is insane.”

So respiratory illnesses *can* be transmitted by airborne pathogens. Interesting, interesting. 🤔

The far-right mouthpiece who told young men to clean up their place while in front of his very clearly messy home, now has contracted an illness from all the mold in his home.

If you wrote such a fascist character in a story it would be deemed a silly caricature.

Jordan Peterson diagnosed with chronic condition after exposure to mold

Peterson's daughter said her father has a "genetic predisposition that causes the immune system to have an inability to identify and detoxify mold."

Massive crowd in Melbourne/Naarm today (in case you thought this movement was going to be placated with more colonisation). Until the occupation ends. Until Western war criminals and their enablers face justice. Until Palestine is free.

Insane that the Supreme Court didn't immediately stop the tariffs and let this drag on for 6 months. Even the most sacrosanct, load bearing pillar of this country-the interests of capital-must submit to the whims of one old doofus. And we love to see it

Thiessen having a good chuckle about his fired liberal colleagues - some of whom he worked with for 15 years - is a good reminder that token conservatives at mainstream news outlets are/were there to destroy them, not to contribute to them.

It’s extraordinary that Biden’s main weaknesses were inflation and cognitive decline and now America has inflation and cognitive decline as well as tariffs, authoritarianism, blatant corruption, etc
