Another best practice for healthy babies is vaccinating them.
RFK Jr: "All of the ingenuity of corporate America has not produced an infant formula that is superior in nutrition and all the qualities that we want to the infant formula that God made, which is the infant formula in a mother's breast."

Have you considered that it might be imposed on me in precisely the exact way I want it to be imposed on me in my imagination, though?
the guys who believe in dictatorial authority as the natural (perhaps even divine) form of human governance also want to impose it on the household? when has this ever been the case

This is how you apologize.
You need to admit you were wrong, identify why you were wrong, and then submit how you plan to avoid being wrong in the future.
Vague hand-waving, or confronting people trying to hold you to account (like MTG on 60 Minutes last night) are easy ways to spot a charlatan.

Good on Penn Jillette. Having to come to terms with your entire political identity and philosophy being wrong is not easy and most people could never do it.

it's good that we have hellfire missiles to defend ourselves from two guys hanging on to a capsized boat, who knows what might have happened otherwise
WELKER: Lawmakers say the 2 men appeared to raise their arms potentially to surrender. Why did Admiral Bradley interpret these actions as anything other than them trying to survive?
TOM COTTON: They were sitting or standing on top of a capsized boat. They weren't floating helplessly in the water

Rosa Parks' courage was precisely NOT a single act but perseverance. What made it so courageous was she had made stands before, others had, there was NOTHING to suggest that taking a stand this day would do something. But still, if "I got up I would approve of this treatment and I did NOT approve."

Controversially, I don't think that if social media had existed that Montgomery could have lasted as long as it did. Bad actors and human nature would have spread negativity, trafficked in gossip, and torn down the leaders in ways that they could not do in 1955/56.

All I want is a pared-down keyboard that has no programs on it. It’s 19’’ and feels great to type on.
I’m not worried about it getting stolen or broken when I transport it around.
For me, it’s basically all I need to work: my weapon of choice.

The chromebook might be the worst invention that doesn't contain any major poisons. We made a laptop that you can only watch youtube videos on and if you touch it you have to go the burn ward. Every five year old has to have one

Not a criticism of this (excellent!) thread, or Casten in particular, but I do think Democrats need to start laying out clear, definitive and escalatory steps they plan to take in response if/when SCOTUS goes through with this.
The 14th Amendment says that all people born in America, regardless of race are citizens and have a right to equal protection under the law. For SCOTUS to be remotely confused on that text speaks to their racism, not the Constitution (1/3) www.cnn.com/2025/12/05/p...

Trump says that price of beef is down. The receipt from my last trip to the grocery store says it is up. For busy shoppers, it can be hard to know who to trust.

Looking forward to the BBC’s inevitable soft-focus coverage when FIFA gives Trump “Most Awake Person at the Cabinet Meeting” award next
It’s weird that news organizations like the BBC are covering this as if it’s a real thing with a real process behind it—and not clearly some nakedly invented “participation trophy” by a corrupt organization to curry favor with a corrupt and easily manipulated man-child. www.bbc.com/sport/footba...

I can't afford eggs, my kid has the whooping cough, and the data center down the road has caused my electricity bill to triple. But at least the mascot for my town's high-school football team is still a drunk guy dressed up as an American Indian.

They are running the government according to the logic of right-wing grievance media. I cannot emphasize that enough. The point is to create content, and they don't see an actual difference between dunking on Sabrina Carpenter, passing legislation, and bombing other countries.
I don't really know what the administration hopes to gain by picking fights with the most well-liked pop artists in the United States. You're just generating backlash for no discernible reason outside of owning the libs.
Sabrina Carpenter ratioed the White House after it used her song in an ICE video.
The WH deleted the post…but now it’s back with a new ICE video, this time using an altered clip from Carpenter’s SNL monologue.

Transphobia is a luxury belief. Yes, ordinary people are often ambiently transphobic, but they have bigger things to worry about. The true believers are wealthy, powerful, influential, and face no real hardship that would force them to prioritize issues that affect them.
They genuinely don't have anything better to do. These are not people capable of great things. That she was so capable, that trans people can attain successes they must win with lies & slander, gnaws at them. Even when they win, for them it has no savor

A massive problem today is the uneven distribution of shame. Some of us are running dedicated on-site shame servers 24/7 while others have no access to shame at all, even though they desperately need it. What we need to do is put shame in the cloud
