🇺🇸 This Independence Day, let’s remind ourselves:

The roots of modern American civilization began with the seeds of protests & speaking out against a tyrannical regime.

The Boston Tea Party? a protest. The Declaration of Independence? A list of grievances.

This is Washington at its worst.

We need to ban Congressional stock trading.

The first time I heard this song I absolutely pictured John C Reilly. This is perfect.

His roundabout way of making America healthy again

The best Fitbit feature is how it guesses what activity I'm up to when my heart rate increases.

Like "Great job skateboarding for 48 minutes!" while riding the lawnmower.

Birthday, you say?

FACT CHECK:

This viral graph from twitter claims to *prove* vaccines cause autism.

But there's something fishy about the data! Let's dive in.

A screenshot of a Reuters article stating that the US FDA suspended milk quality test workforce cuts.

Previous to the FDA, folks would put chalk and plaster of Paris in milk to make it appear white. They could also add formaldehyde to cover the smell and taste of spoiled milk.

“We are, each of us, largely responsible for what gets put into our brains, for what, as adults, we wind up caring for and knowing about. No longer at the mercy of the reptile brain, we can change ourselves.”

I thought the Pistons were due!

I won’t share RFK Jr.’s lies about autism.

It’s disgusting and dangerous.

If he had a shred of decency, he would apologize and resign.

Autistic people contribute every day to our nation’s greatness.

To every kid with autism, I’m in this fight all the way for you.

The Demon-Haunted World

"Our species needs, and deserves, a citizenry with minds awake and a basic understanding of how the world works. Science, I maintain, is an absolutely essential tool for any society with a hope of surviving well into the next century with its fundamental values intact."

Coinciding with it's "No" letter Harvard has refashioned its university homepage into essentially an advertisement for the social benefits of university research. This is the current front page.

Your assignment this week is to read a book that some “Mom for Liberty” would bring to a school board meeting and cry about.

In one of Biff Tannen's timelines, he becomes a servile auto-detailer who works for the McFly family.

In another timeline (deleted scene from BTTF 2), he has a cardiac event and then ceases to exist.

All I'm saying is that I've lost interest in whatever this current timeline is.

The sentient back stairway hairball is feeling the same stress as the rest of us.

"'A few years ago, I found myself in a dark place, but I’m still here, and I’m so lucky I am. And if my story can help even one person, then it was worth telling.' - Jarren Duran" Image shows portrait of Jarren Duran sitting and holding a baseball in home white uniform.

“Talking about this wasn’t easy, but it felt important. I trusted the Netflix crew, and I knew that if I was going to share this, I had to be real about it. A few years ago, I found myself in a dark place, but I’m still here, and I’m so lucky I am. And if my story can help even one person, then it was worth telling. It’s that ability to help, to reach those who feel alone, that motivated me to tell my story. Right now, my focus is on the field. We have a postseason to chase, and that’s where my head is. I’ve shared what I needed to share, and I appreciate everyone’s understanding that my focus right now is on baseball and helping my team win a World Series. I am grateful for the tremendous support I’ve received. If you’re struggling, please know there’s help. You can call a friend, a trusted person, your doctor, or an organization like Samaritans. And, if you’re in immediate danger, call 988.”
