Big news today: Chris Duncan, who spent decades on Louisiana's death row on 'junk science' until his conviction was overturned this spring, is being released today.

You'll remember this story from a few months ago, when his conviction was overturned: boltsmag.org/chris-duncan...

OK, we're leaving the asbestos *in* the stuff women put on their faces? And, the powder we put on kids' bums? Check!

Huh, some chick scientist says, “It only takes a single asbestos fiber lodged in the lungs to cause mesothelioma decades later.”

What me, worry?

Would pay an absolutely obscene amount of money for a remastered Xenosaga trilogy.

Hell, I would buy a new system to be able to play those (my PS2 is hanging in there, but it's not gonna last forever).
I would like to know! 🤓👾

There is NO FUCKING EXCUSE for this to be happening.

I had a baby die in my arms of pertussis some fifty years ago. It was a HORRIBLE death. But my fellow nurses said to me, "It's almost stamped out now, they're all getting the shots, we won't be seeing this again."

HOW THE FUCK ARE WE HERE. 😡
A third infant has died in Kentucky, KYDPH adds:

“These are Kentucky’s first pertussis deaths since 2018. None of the infants nor their mothers received the recommended pertussis vaccinations during pregnancy or early infancy.”

Bryan Fuller gets chained to a laptop until I get to read the next episode of Pushing Daises and the full scene of that reunion from "Kerplunk."
If you were a despotic president, what movie would you force Hollywood to make? I want to see Quentin's Star Trek movie or maybe Kill Bill Vol 3.

For my LA people (most of you)

These is my cousins. They've had to make a terrible choice. They're the best people and this dog is even better. A goodest boy. If you're looking for a furry family member who's an absolute doll, please lemme know and I'll put you in touch with my cousins.

Let this short thread radicalize you.
Normand Meunier is a Canadian man with quadriplegia who accessed MAiD (Medical Assistance in Dying) after being left for 96 hours on a stretcher in the ER.

His requests for a specialized mattress were denied.

He wasn't turned regularly.

He developed bed sores so bad, he opted to end his life.

BREAKING: This is huge news, the EU's equivalent of the 🇺🇸Supreme Court's 2015 Obergefell v. Hodges ruling.

🇪🇺Court of Justice just ruled all 🇪🇺countries must recognise same-sex marriages granted in other member states.

This effectively legalises gay marriage across 🇪🇺
