In the muppets universe do you think there is one muppet who is regarded as a dangerous conspiracy theorist for yelling about how everyone is being secretly controlled by a hand inside them
The other muppets think this is a metaphor, and he's like "no it's a literal hand inside you! Inside you all"

this headline, and much of the reporting, is the result of believing that the key to good journalism is never taking a position
NEW: The F.D.A. announced in an internal memo that 10 children died "because of" the Covid shot. Other experts want to see proof.
“This is a profound revelation,” Dr. Prasad's memo said. “For the first time, the U.S. F.D.A. will acknowledge that Covid-19 vaccines have killed American children.”

🎁link. As someone in Louisiana, this is really fucking terrifyingly bad. Please call your reps. I’d get the FBI at my door if I called Cassidy’s office right now. But one of the reasons I did call and beg him to vote against RFK is because Abraham and Jeff Landry wanted to dismantle La public health
Breaking News: The CDC quietly appointed Dr. Ralph Lee Abraham, who has been critical of vaccines, as its second in command. During the Covid pandemic, he promoted discredited treatments like ivermectin and, as Louisiana’s surgeon general, halted the state’s mass vaccination campaign.

It’s incredibly sad, but I’m well into “sending people to Health Canada’s site for advice” mode.
Public health has saved more lives worldwide than probably any other intervention. Humble stuff like toilets and clean water and hand washing.

How awful. This is outright health disinformation, lying to the American people. Not only is there massive evidence showing no link between vaccines & autism, there’s not even a plausible mechanism based on what we’ve learned about the genetics of autism, some environmental exposures in pregnancy
HEADS UP: CDC website now officially asserts that vaccines may cause autism.“Studies supporting a link have been ignored by health authorities.” Also says the “vaccines do not cause autism” header remains b/c of an agreement with Cassidy.

Last night, the Broad Theater in New Orleans did a special screening of "Demons" with a Q&A with Geretta Geretta (who plays Rosemary). I can't recommend seeing this movie (and episode!) enough - wonderfully gloopy, campy 1980s Italian horror with great practical effects and soundtrack.
NEW EPISODE! "Hey Hot Dog, next time let's rip off a Ferrari. This heap's got no class." This is an actual line from this actual movie! Jeffrey Cranor, Cecil Baldwin and Alex take their classless heap down to the demonic theater and shower Demons [1985] with gallons of goopy love.

Losing #measles elimination status as predicted is the result of vaccines being a victim of their incredible success. It quite sad that people will need to experience the suffering inflicted by an infection like measles in order to remember why elimination was remains something to strive for.
As expected, Canada has lost its measles-free status because of the long-running outbreak there. With it goes the #measles elimination status of the entire zone of the Americas, the only division of the #WHO to ever have achieved measles elimination. www.statnews.com/2025/11/10/m...
