The autism epidemic explosion corresponds completely along the line of increased vaccination.
Vaccines cause autism.
Full stop.

Earlier this month, @AaronSiriSG showed the CDC vaccine advisory committee how radically the childhood vaccine schedule has changed since the 1980s. The difference is staggering. “You can see there’s been a significant increase in just the routine vaccines between 1983 and today.” “In 1983, there were two oral drops and three injections. Today there are three oral drops and 25 injections given by the first birthday, including in utero.”

@Sai_Ishaya_ Misogynists, racists, racists, sexists, etc all belong on the right. Half of MAGA proudly claims one or multiple of those "isms". And anyone who could be victimized by any of those isms would be stupid to think they're excluded. LGBTQ rights are 100% a progressive ideal
English
Soon we will all realise that there is nothing inherently progressive about being queer or homosexual.
It is just a sexuality, like any other inherent trait.
Queer people can be racists, fascists, misogynists, sexists and terrorists. It is not a protective shield from the "isms".

Still can’t believe the leader of the German far-right party is a lesbian who is in love with an Indian migrant.

What we learned in 2025: the socialist & communists have enabled large-scale fraud via compassionate social services, while demanding the Government [ checks notes ] seize the assets of top Americans to [ checks notes again ] perpetuate the fraud!
F. That.

@bigblackjacobin @jason as someone who grew up in poverty and is now making six figures at 28, I want to raise the bottom bar and increase the standard of living for the hardworking Americans that are struggling at the bottom

you’re speaking gibberish! string together a coherent argument! Communism has not taken over any part of America. Venture capitalists and their parasitic business models have taken over America and are ruining it! You guys want to sell this country for scraps & move to Singapore

The dumbest, laziest, no-talent kids you knew in college believe they can flip America’s democracy to socialism, then communism “we already got NYC!” Is their rallying cry — they’re not wrong. The commie mind virus is infectious & we must fight it this is Pluribus IRL

@DavidSacks @RonDeSantis How is this different than my property taxes, other than the fact that it only affects a fraction of the top 1%
English
@RonDeSantis To be clear, the Billionaire Tax Act in California is not (just) an unrealized gains tax. It’s a 5% across-the-board confiscation of net worth. It applies even if one has already realized and paid taxes on the entire amount.
English
Taxing unrealized gains at 5% will obviously backfire. So of course California will probably go through with it...

@alexisohanian Time for you billionaires to pay your fair share. No more free handouts for the elites

We're absolutely going to have to figure out how our society adapts to a rapidly increasing wealth gap, it'll be required to preserve our republic, but the answer is definitely not taxing unrealized gains.

@humantransit Anyone who "doesn't believe in drunk driving" is not a serious person

Urban progressives: This tweet proposing to legalize drunk driving will horrify you. It horrifies me. But this rural guy is smart and somewhat influential.
We can reject his insults, and disagree with him, while reading this for insight into how the world looks/feels from a rural point of view.
It’s good practice to read smart people who disagree with you not just intellectually, but culturally — people who are coming from a radically different experience and can express it.
It requires feeling that first burst of rage but then setting it aside. It requires accepting that these people don’t understand you either and won’t describe you fairly. But with that done, you can ask: “what might the world be like to someone with this experience?”
The resulting empathy is healthy. You can still fight his ideas to the death. You’ll probably be even better at it.

I remain convinced that drunk driving laws is just neo-prohibitionism / neo-Puritanism in disguise. The fact that "the experts" (who are all likely tepid WASPs who hearken from the world of New England pietists) agree that "no one can safely drive drunk" is just too suspicious. Obviously, any experienced drunk driver knows that there are some people who can safely drive over the legal limit, and that there are numerous driving circumstances in which the risks are very low. E.g, when my cousin used to get loaded at the bar, he'd just idle home at 3mph, a mile up a dirt road with no traffic. Utterly harmless -- like driving a lawn tractor. We did this for years without a single issue. Or, having had 7-8 pints of beer, driving down a rural route on which there is literally nothing to hit, and no traffic, and no houses within 100ft of the road -- and at that, a route I'd driven a thousand times in all weather. What was the risk? Essentially nothing (except if I wound up hitting a deer). So I am forced to conclude that the carte blanche, blanket-style legal architecture around drunk driving is clearly not motivated by an earnest desire to reduce harm. If it was, there could be allowances made for drivers who, in spite of being fairly buzzed / drunk, manage to drive safely and without problems for their entire life. Instead, it's about punishing the alleged wastrels -- and inhibiting the social culture of rowdy ruralites. They're hot to ruin the lives of country boys who love a good time. We now get together less, have fewer children, and are less rowdy. Consequently, this country has no balls anymore, and one wonders if in the event of a war -- when we'll need a fair few rowdies to join up -- if we'll even have enough left to go around. I say legalize it but increase penalties for any wrongdoing on the roads by 3-5x for drivers found to be drunk at the scene of the crime. That'd keep the best of them rolling without a hassle, and the roads would be every bit as safe as they are today (at least out here in the boonies).

@CholeraFan Difference is that's actually a funny story and saying 6-7 isn't
English
My oldest was like 2 when my wife's dad was in the hospice dying. We had bought him a stuffed monkey that was labelled Funky Monkey, so he called it that. Except "funky" sounded just like "fucking" so when he was playing with it he'd say "where's the fucking monkey?" "I love my fucking monkey!" "This fucking monkey is my best friend!" Everyone in the waiting room that had been weeping, mostly elderly abuelitas, were bent over doubled laughing at him, and it really livened the place up for an afternoon.

A crazy idea would be a mandate that federal funding for universities can only happen when/if the ideological balance of its professors are within +/- 20%.
Any institutions that opts out/takes zero funding from the federal government (ie from taxpayers) can still do whatever they want.
Assuming neither side is more wrong nor right, the debate and ultimate quality of students coming from schools with more ideological balance would be meaningfully better I suspect.

There are currently a zillion tickets on StubHub for the Commanders Christmas game, but because it's people who never sold their tickets before (only missing due to the holiday) the prices are way to high to sell.
Last home game I went to the tickets were as low as $20 to get in and lower level seats were under $100. At that point they weren't on the 3rd string QB, and it wasn't Christmas.
As someone who doesn't have season tickets but has been to every home and away game (minus one), I've been studying NFL secondhand pricing. Its how I get to attend a lot of these games with good seats for low cost.
I'll be buying my tickets tomorrow for a quarter of what the prices are now. (they actually are already dropping to half price as we speak as people realize).
Anyways! See y'all diehards at the game tomorrow!!! #HTTR #HTTC
