Here’s the thing: When you tell emotionally-unstable, social-approval-dependent, weak-minded masses, in whom you have seeded chronic victim complexes, that their policial opponents are literal Nazis, you’re running the risk that few of them might take you seriously and act, not realizing that you’re just manipulating them and leveraging their fragility for … votes. Something to consider.

@nypost Why?

‘Hocus Pocus’ star Thora Birch comes out as bisexual trib.al/GmbNfoS

call me "mr cynical paws" but when i read this, all i can think is: "which one of your constituents is a bath mat company any how much did they donate?"

@seconds_0 @ESS7089 Sure is. And thank god ES read your article or he never would’ve known the system he’s been embedded in for decades is broken … or that that citizen scientists and AI are the way to fix it. Not all heroes wear capes, amirite? 😂👍

@ESS7089 @AJKayWriter I agree. The system is extremely broken!

Crazy enough, someone wrote about this! If you missed the first time it was announced, check out my article on scientific fraud and bad incentives reason.com/2026/05/06/how…

@seconds_0 A rebuttal to what? You sound insecure & confused.

@AJKayWriter Hey AJ! Thanks for your feedback. As you are a self identified writer who hasn't published anything since 2024, I assume you have tons of time to write a much more thorough rebuttal. Looking forward to it

The loss of full emotional expression is such an under-recognized consequence of cosmetic procedures — especially Botox, but fillers too. Even subtle changes can distort or blunt expression, making it inconsistent with someone’s emotions or the situation itself. People may see that tradeoff as worthwhile, but it’s hard to argue these changes don’t contribute to the uncanny effect, even unconsciously. Amanda is such a good example of the value of what is being lost. There’s so much beauty and value in her expressiveness.

Amanda Peet is 5 years older than I am and we’re a part of a group of women over the age of 45 who’ve yet to have any kind of work done (mainly Botox and fillers). While statistically speaking we’re not the minority, it certainly feels like it.

@CindyGlasgow @CDCgov @ann_mcnitt Do you think they were first exposed the day they left the ship?

@CDCgov @ann_mcnitt So ….. 21 vs 42 days ….. or 3 weeks vs 4-6 weeks ⁉️

On May 18, 2026, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) confirmed that 18 recently repatriated U.S. passengers from the M/V Hondius cruise ship were requested to remain at the Nebraska Quarantine Facility through May 31, 2026, which would be the 21-day mark of their monitoring period. Since the passengers disembarked from the ship, three additional cases of hantavirus have been identified — one each in France, Spain, and recently, Canada. CDC has issued quarantine orders for two passengers who were repatriated to Nebraska from the ship. The orders were signed by CDC's Acting Director and issued under the Public Health Service Act and implementing regulations (42 CFR parts 70 and 71). Quarantine is a public health measure, available at the federal, state, and county level, and used as necessary to protect communities. CDC will continue to coordinate with state and local health authorities as we work together to come up with the best solutions to protect the health and safety of these passengers.

@Riley_Gaines_ I'll never understand how any man can feel any sense of pride competing against women. Shameful and embarrassing.

@SuisKirk33160 @JenniferSey These are kids. It’s not their decision. Go after the adults.

@JenniferSey I have zero respect for any real girl who competed against Hernandez. Until women and girls take a stand against this, it will never end. Every girl on that pedestal is a coward.

Hernandez is imitating what he thinks a girl child would do. How she would stand. With his feet turned in & his hands coyly clasped in front of him. Look at the actual women. None stand like this. No athlete does. It's a performance. His aw shucks coquettish posture is ick.

A Norwegian neuroscientist spent 20 years proving that the act of writing by hand changes the human brain in ways typing physically cannot, and almost nobody outside her field has read the paper. Her name is Audrey van der Meer. She runs a brain research lab in Trondheim, and the paper that closed the argument was published in 2024 in a journal called Frontiers in Psychology. The finding is brutal enough that it should have changed every classroom on Earth. The experiment was simple. She recruited 36 university students and put each one in a cap with 256 sensors pressed against their scalp to record brain activity. Words flashed on a screen one at a time. Sometimes the students wrote the word by hand on a touchscreen using a digital pen, and sometimes they typed the same word on a keyboard. Every neural response was recorded for the full five seconds the word stayed on screen. Then her team looked at the part of the data most researchers had ignored for years, which is how different parts of the brain were communicating with each other during the task. When the students wrote by hand, the brain lit up everywhere at once. The regions responsible for memory, sensory integration, and the encoding of new information were all firing together in a coordinated pattern that spread across the entire cortex. The whole network was awake and connected. When the same students typed the same word, that pattern collapsed almost completely. Most of the brain went quiet, and the connections between regions that had been alive seconds earlier were nowhere to be found on the EEG. Same word, same brain, same person, and two completely different neurological events. The reason turned out to be something nobody had really paid attention to before her work. Writing by hand is not one motion but a sequence of thousands of tiny micro-movements coordinated with your eyes in real time, where each letter is a different shape that requires the brain to solve a slightly different spatial problem. Your fingers, wrist, vision, and the parts of your brain that track position in space are all working together to produce one letter, then the next, then the next. Typing throws all of that away. Every key on a keyboard requires the exact same finger motion regardless of which letter you are pressing, which means the brain has almost nothing to integrate and almost no problem to solve. Van der Meer said it plainly in her interviews. Pressing the same key with the same finger over and over does not stimulate the brain in any meaningful way, and she pointed out something that should scare every parent who handed their kid an iPad. Children who learn to read and write on tablets often cannot tell letters like b and d apart, because they have never physically felt with their bodies what it takes to actually produce those letters on a page. A decade before her, two researchers at Princeton ran the same fight using a completely different method and ended up at the same answer. Pam Mueller and Daniel Oppenheimer tested 327 students across three experiments, where half took notes on laptops with the internet disabled and half took notes by hand, before testing everyone on what they actually understood from the lectures they had watched. The handwriting group won by a wide margin on every question that required real understanding rather than surface recall. The reason was hiding in the transcripts of what the two groups had actually written down. The laptop students typed almost word for word, capturing more total content but processing almost none of it as they went, while the handwriting students physically could not write fast enough to transcribe a lecture in real time, which forced them to listen carefully, decide what actually mattered, and put it in their own words on the page. That single act of choosing what to keep was the learning itself, and the keyboard had quietly skipped the choosing and skipped the learning along with it. Two studies. Two countries. Same answer. Handwriting makes the brain work. Typing lets it coast. Every note you have ever typed instead of written went into your brain through a thinner pipe. Every meeting, every book highlight, every idea you captured on your phone instead of on paper was processed at half depth. You did not forget those things because your memory is bad. You forgot them because typing never woke the part of the brain that would have made them stick. The fix is the thing your grandmother already knew. Pick up a pen. Write the thing down. The slower road is the faster one.

@ClareCraigPath Thanks @grok

The most important public health advice of all time: Do Not Be Afraid.

E.g. Kyle FTW

The interest-conflicted, attention-seeking, ladder-climbing, sycophantic “experts” you revere so much debased and beclowed themselves during Covid. The credentialism of “Stay in your lane” only works when a lane’s occupants are both competent and trustworthy — and PH’s current record is zero for two. @kylamb8 blows them all out of the water.

what difference would it have made? well, for one thing, it would have discredited "the experts" from fauci to baric to daszak to hotez. it would have shown the public that agencies like CDC NIH, and FDA were captured and coloring outside the lines. it would have aided people in finding more trustworthy sources of information and adopting modes of treatment that actually worked vs the calamity of leaky mrna shots masquerading as vaccines. it would have revealed the links between WIV and the data used by pfizer and moderna to create their products and gutted the authority of those who lied so prolifically about them. it would have shifted the entire discussion from "trust the government" to "we need to stop trusting the people who did this and then tried to cover it up" and shifted us from a footing of accepting their doctrine as "the science" and moved us to a footing of "actual science" by taking away the bully pulpit used to such devastating effect by charlatans and criminals. they'd have been on trial instead of on CNN. there was a moment of choosing whom to trust and most of the world chose very badly because it wrongly presumed that its own authorities were trustworthy. and had they known the sorts of people they were granting such power over their lives and livelihoods, they would have made better choices. pretending not to understand obvious things to avoid accepting obvious conclusions is not a basis for a sound worldview, james. it's really time to let the wubbie go.

Public-health policy is supposed to be grounded in demonstrable risk, transmission dynamics, proportionality, and evidence — not a pundit’s feelings about a particular situation. Self-reports of fear are an extremely poor governing standard.

When a snake is dying, it is driven by powerful involuntary reflexes. Even after fatal injury, its nerves and venom glands may remain active for hours, causing unpredictable reflex strikes and venom injection.

@kylamb8 Ridiculous.

Calling this a global health emergency is exactly why no one takes WHO seriously anymore or people like Ashish that push this nonsense

Invoking NVSS doesn’t resolve the issue. NVSS is built from jurisdiction-submitted death certificates coded under CDC/NCHS rules, and — per official guidance — Covid deaths included cases where Covid was listed as an underlying or contributing cause. Given final NVSS totals were higher than earlier dashboard totals, your apparent argument — that local jurisdictional reporting may have been inflated but NVSS is somehow pristine — doesn’t compute.

@AJKayWriter @acoolerclimate5 Neither you nor the writer of the article understands the difference between The National Vital Statistics Surveillance reporting and actual death certificate data. Would you like me to walk you through it?

1. Who the hell is “we”? Cruise passengers are citizens of sovereign nations, not wards of some supranational public-health authority. You don’t get to kidnap people because you think they might’ve been exposed to a pathogen the media has convinced you to be scared of. NTM that extraordinary, coercive control is not the default for “public health measures.” 2. Covid is an easily transmitted respiratory virus. Identification and isolation of the “300 earliest” would’ve amounted to identification and isolation of the first. To whatever degree this strain of Hanta is spread human-to-human, it’s not comparable to Covid. What about these situations makes people shut off their rational brain?

I’m sure none of these were gun shot wounds, right? (From an article trying to argue that lockdown deaths should also be attributed to Covid. Ironic, no? And in case you want to argue Maricopa county was the only jurisdiction doing this, just lmk. I can give you plenty more, right along with federal surveillance data explainers describing how they use it all and don’t scrutinize, standardize l, or validate the reporting methods.) abc15.com/news/region-ph… (

@AJKayWriter @acoolerclimate5 "gunshot wounds" lol You should have just posted, "I have no idea what I'm talking about."
