Acetaminophen Use During Pregnancy and Children’s Risk of Autism, ADHD, and Intellectual Disability This nationwide cohort study with sibling control analysis examines the association of acetaminophen use during pregnancy with children’s risk of autism, ADHD, and intellectual disability.

The @washingtonpost.com story on Tylenol & autism leaves out a MAJOR 2.5M sibling-controlled study of children in Denmark, which "found no evidence that acetaminophen use during pregnancy was associated with children’s risk of autism, ADHD or intellectual disability." jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

Charlie Kirk, Not In His Own Words: We Honor The Right-Wing Activist By Making Up Quotes That Sound Much Better, Given The Moment

This Week's Onion Magazine:

Washington Post Columnist Says She Was Fired for Posts After Charlie Kirk Shooting

This is precisely the kind of government coercion that the First Amendment was designed to prevent — and media companies need to start standing up rather than capitulating to it.

Let’s be clear about what happened to Jimmy Kimmel Trump’s most brazen attack on free speech yet.

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

These guys are unpopular and dumb as rocks, they did not discover a secret 'I win' button at the heart of all politics labeled 'mean tweets' or 'cancel elections.'

Keep speaking, keep writing, keep marching, keep voting, force them to show the country what they are.

In North Carolina right now the Democrat running for Senate - in a state Trump won *three times* (I hate it too) - is leading by 6-8 points.

'Oh, but they'll cancel elections' - then force them to cancel elections and radicalize the normies and then march with the radicalized normies.

In short, force them to try to rule by naked force because they *do not* have enough force and the very nakedness of it will mean they have less and less.

The Civil Rights movement overcame far more with far less, if we had a fraction of their courage, we'll win.

We're already seeing grand juries refuse to indict and regular juries refuse to convict because of their shoddy evidence and transparent political aims. Keep doing that.

More protests are planned, another No Kings rally on October 18. Go, be present, be seen, do not let them manufacture consent.

If they want to shut down dissent in the legacy media, go to new media. They'll try to crack down on liberal advocacy groups - fight them in the courts. They're already short on lawyers and they can't take every case to SCOTUS.

Pardon me, but while MAGA and Trump may want to use it that way, we don't need to let them.

I think it is absolutely the case that Trump aspires to be something like a fascist dictator, I said so last October.

But we are not powerless and they have not won yet.

Tweet From Obama mentioning my firing from the Washington post. Wirh a photo of me

The last political column I was allowed to write in the @washingtonpost.com was a criticism of Obama.

His people took issue with my piece, but we were respectful.

Now he is tweeting in support of me.

This is how free political speech and respect for debate *actually works*.

Or used to work.

The @newrepublic.com actually does very useful and helpful REPORTING. How about @propublica.org? Excellent. The @51st.news is doing excellent actual reporting. So is @thetriibe.com in Chicago.

There are so many other places to get actual useful news.

I'm so happy for Bud!

Such a great action fight. #MbilliMartinez #CaneloCrawford

Mbilli and Martinez are throwing bombs! ##CaneloCrawford

Time for #CaneloCrawford. I think Bud wins by a very close split decision.

Under the Red Hood: A conversation with Gretchen Felker Martin Gretchen Felker Martin on Jason Todd, working in corporate IP, and the gun-men of superhero comics

Anyway, I don't think Gretchen ever got to do any other interviews about a book that now will not be seeing the light of day, so in case you missed it, here's my conversation with her from a few months back

I write for AiPT and I support more prominent credits. Preferably near the title/company logo so I don't have to scour the page to know who the creators are. I would also like cover artists credited ON the cover.

Congratulations!
