@ReturnOfKappy @stopvaccinating We got dropped from ours- because “we were endangering other patients” so now they see a family doctor in the same physician group- where they are apparently no longer a danger to the other patients

Did you know that many pediatricians require parents, as a condition for seeing their child, to agree to vaccinate their kids…? If the parents say they don’t want to vaccinate their children, the pediatrician simply tells them they can’t treat the child… Clearly, here’s the answer to that… Many of them don’t actually care about the children, only about the incentives they receive from pharmaceutical companies….

@MichaelAArouet Less women are mothers now

That's an interesting chart. Young men have stayed similarly conservative for over 25 years, while young women have drifted much further left. Why such a divergence? What has changed for young women that hasn't changed for young men?

@Nursekatejohn @ChickfilA @SteaknShake I don’t anyone that thinks Chick-fil-a is healthy

As a MAHA mom, I cannot wait for other moms to join me in stripping @ChickfilA from their position as the “healthy” fast-food option and @SteaknShake to take their rightful place as the best choice. Chick-fil-a has duped moms with deceptive marketing. Time for change.

@ReubenR80027912 People also need to use these numbers when determining how much life insurance to carry- so many gofundmes that didn’t need to be

You need a lump sum of 25x your current TC to live on it in perpetuity w/ 4% annual draws A “comfortable” retirement is a lump sum of 7-10x ending TC (and no or low mortgage) While everyone’s number is diff, below is true “A good amount of $” = >10x TC “A lot of $” = >25x TC

@MikeNellis @MollyJongFast Maybe the audiences are just out living life! I tuned in during election season and now I’m tuned back out enjoying life

So apparently The Daily Wire laid off half its staff today. It comes as Ben Shapiro and other MAGA influencers have seen huge losses in engagement and audience retention.

@RepSaraJacobs @barnes_law She’s using quotes from Candace Owens and MTG to defend her position? 🤡

I asked Secretary Hegseth a straightforward, yes or no question today: Is Donald Trump mentally stable enough to be Commander in Chief? He didn't say yes. And that speaks volumes.

@adrusi the question says everyone on Earth- real life results would be much different.

how i became a blue-pusher i have a confession: years ago, in the first button poll, i pressed red "well theres a correct answer here, right?" then i saw the results and that we all won bc blue won and i didnt get mad, just realized i was wrong and switched allegiances

@CleaningTheMess @BasedTorba Actually, I think a world where 100% chose red would be optimal

@BasedTorba There isn’t a correct answer to this question if you are a philosopher. Which world do you WANT to live in? The blue one.

This is the new breakfast question IQ test.

@MrBeast Important question- do children (under 18) pick for themselves or do parents pick for them…

Everyone on earth takes a private vote by pressing a red or blue button. If more than 50% of people press the blue button, everyone survives. If less than 50% of people press the blue button, only people who pressed the red button survive. Which button would you press? BE HONEST.

@TheFreesaw @NapoleonBonabot If everyone is smart and picks red NO ONE dies

@NapoleonBonabot It's mainly so we wouldn't end up genociding 50% of the planet's kids. If kids were excluded then I'd have picked red.

>Red: guaranteed survival >Blue: survival only if enough people press blue Am I losing my mind? Why do so many people see blue as the favorable option?

@NapoleonBonabot Because the majority of people aren’t very smart

This isn’t your kingdom. It’s our country. America fired its last king 250 years ago.

@fishstark I’ll bet you can “afford” kids- but your version of a heartbreaking conversation is what sacrifices might you have to make to do it.

To be clear: I’m getting married this year & am deeply, fanatically excited to be a dad! But we & many other couples my age (30) are having the heartbreaking convo “can we afford as many kids as we hoped” “they just want to play phone games” is deeply unempathetic & pedantic

All right @BenSasse, let's make a bet. Let's divide the US in half. I'll let you pick which half. In your half, you ban Candy Crush. In my half we institute 16 weeks of paid parental leave, universal childcare, & a restored child tax credit. Let's see which has more babies.

@JesterJum Look up the phrase “loss leader”

Why does a hot, delicious, and ready-to-eat rotisserie chicken cost less than a cold, raw ass chicken i gotta take home and cook myself? Can someone PLEASE answer that for me cause I just dont get it.

@JenSiebelNewsom She was not doing a respectable job interviewing him

My family and I watched the 60 Minutes interview with Donald Trump and Norah O’Donnell last night, and we were shocked. Seeing a president speak to a woman journalist with that level of contempt — and a clear allergy to facts — is disturbing, though at this point not unexpected given his pattern of behavior. But that is the problem. Because when that level of disrespect from the highest office in the country repeats itself, it starts to trickle down into our culture and define what power looks like, shaping how boys and plenty of men see women and girls and what they come to accept as normal behavior.

@Q_wacko You’re under reacting

STORY TIME When we went in for my daughter's 2 month doctor appointment we discussed vaccines. I had made my own schedule for what I thought was best for my daughter, which included delaying some vaccines and skipping some of the later doses. The schedule I made gives her great coverage against potentially severe outcomes of illnesses while also limiting potentially severe outcomes from overloading her with vaccines. Her doctor agreed with my plan and entered all of the vaccines we wanted and the dates we wanted them, into her chart so nothing would be missed or accidentally given. The doctor left and said the physician assistant would be back to give my daughter the vaccine we wanted for her 2 month visit. We only wanted DTaP at this appointment. The physician's assistant came in and stated that she was giving my daughter the DTaP vaccine. We left and baby girl handled the vaccine well. Fast forward a month later and I had received a call saying our next vaccine appointment was too soon. I messaged the physician assistant letting her know about the call, sent her the vaccine plan we had discussed with the doctor, and asked if we needed to push dates out. The physician's assistant said she would look into it. Later that day she messaged me back saying we were ok to come in as scheduled. She then sent another message saying that instead of just the DTaP vaccine, she gave my daughter a combo shot including Polio and Hep B at her 2 month appointment, which her chart indicated she should not have had the first doses of those vaccines yet. My daughter's chart was marked with every vaccine she should get through 52 weeks old, which dose it was in the series, and the exact dates she should get them. We discussed the vaccine plan that day, before her vaccine. The physician's assistant told us the vaccine she was giving her and did not inform us or ask consent to give her the Hep B or Polio vaccine. I AM LIVID We were planning on doing the Hep B and Polio vaccines at a later date (months later), but giving an infant a vaccine without explicitly stating what the child is getting is careless. In the medical field you should be reviewing your patients chart before giving them anything, you should know exactly what your patient needs & what you are giving them, and you should be getting consent for every specific medication/treatment/procedure you are doing. So, regardless of how much I may be over reacting, I am filing a complaint with the state's medical licensing board because her actions were reckless

@unusual_whales This argument will never work for the left in our lifetime - we had Biden for 4 years ….

AOC: In some ways, you kind of want this guy on a golf course more than you want him in the Oval Office. But that also calls into question the 25th Amendment, because if the determination is that Trump cannot be trusted in the Situation Room, then he’s not fit to be president.

@drklausner Still getting the Covid vaccine annually?! 🥴

I’m a doctor. All my children are vaccinated. My wife and I get vaccinated with the flu and Covid vaccine every fall. The shingles vaccine not only reduces shingles, but may reduce dementia, heart attacked and strokes. Adult vaccinations against pneumonia can be life-saving.

@RepKimSchrier Are there barriers to getting the vaccines?! They’re literally having drive through clinics to push them on people- or giving them at school! There are only barriers to declining them.

As a pediatrician, I know how important vaccines are to keep children safe and healthy. That’s why I introduced the bipartisan Strengthening the Vaccines for Children Program Act, which will reduce barriers to routine vaccinations for all families. schrier.house.gov/media/press-re…

@jk_rowling I think the issue is- someone has to do the “assisting” and that someone (usually a medical system) is being influenced by things like financial factors.

When you stop and think about it, assisted dying's a bit like salted caramel ice cream or shuffle dancing, because they're choices, too. Or Lynx Africa body spray - use it, don't use it, nobody else's business.
