Over 30,000 Charlotte students absent from school in protest of ICE operation, reports say Over 30,000 Charlotte students were absent on Monday, according to school officials.

The result was one of the largest youth-led demonstrations Charlotte has seen, with around 30,000 CMS students taking part through absences, walkouts, or organized rallies.

oh…well that’s not…

I feel very strongly that one of my personal horcruxes was the worm in RFK’s brain.

This guy’s job was knowing what’s “too toxic”

Hahahahaahahah

I feel like if everything keeps going like this, the FDA bringing back quaaludes would be like top 3 best decisions they’ve made since this administration.

i think if you ride public transit enough you learn that most weird behavior is not dangerous, and conversely i think driving a car teaches you that everyone is trying to kill you at all times

Historical Blood Serum Samples from Wilmington, North Carolina: The Importance of Ultrashort-Chain Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances From 1980 to 2017, Wilmington, North Carolina (NC), residents unknowingly consumed high levels of PFAS through drinking water. Some of these PFAS are expected to have short biological half-lives, and current biological sampling will miss these exposures. To assess historical PFAS exposures, we (1) determined PFAS levels in serum samples of Wilmington, NC residents obtained during the years 2010–2016, (2) examined temporal trends of serum PFAS over this period, and (3) associated serum PFAS levels with PFAS concentrations in drinking water. We quantified 56 PFAS, including ultrashort-chain PFAS, in 119 adult human serum samples and 47 PFAS in water samples from 2017. Twenty PFAS were detected in >50% of serum samples; perfluoromethoxyacetic acid (PFMOAA) and trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) exhibited the highest median concentrations (PFMOAA: 42 ng/mL; TFA: 17 ng/mL). PFMOAA and TFA were also the dominant PFAS in Wilmington drinking water, accounting for 95% of quantifiable PFAS. The serum-to-water ratio was linearly correlated with “effective” PFAS chain length, indicating that PFAS with longer chain length and a sulfonic acid group are more bioaccumulative. While chain length is important for bioaccumulation, this study highlights that exposures to high concentrations of ultrashort-chain PFAS in drinking water contribute to their dominance in human serum.

I need details about the llama what is going on there?

they’re doing construction RIGHT outside my office window, it’s my dead phd advisors birthday this week, and I’ve run out of refills on my Effexor.

Remember kids, this whole "blaming Tylenol" thing is REALLY about blaming women, and trying to narrow their life experiences and choices because good, honest, homemakers have their children naturally and don't experience any pain, and evil careerist bitches use drugs to get through a natural thing.

HOW TO PEDDLE DISINFORMATION 1. Start with ad hominem attacks on the CDC committee working to restore public trust in vaccines. 2. Ignore the 14 hours of public deliberation where members explained their reasoning and scientific justification. 3. Then stack the deck—quote more than 20 professional critics and just four of the 12 committee members, as if balance and accuracy don’t matter. That’s not reporting. That’s disinformation. Not the first time either.

Reminder: personally attacking a journalist for criticizing the government is not normal agency conduct.

It's a pretty clear attempt to intimidate the journalist, and from those that complained about government censorship, like
Secretary Kennedy did, the hypocrisy is jarring.

hahahaha am I in danger rn?

Apparently no one has been paying attention to UNCW this week.

I feel like anyone saying “universities are normally debate-averse” have never been in an upper level/graduate philosophy seminar with 1< philbro.

Do we know why RFKJ is pissed at Tylenol in particular? Like can he not just say acetaminophen?

we did it, Joe

how many bsl-4 labs does Hollywood think there are

The fact that I have to be both a) sick enough to qualify for a COVID booster and b) financially stable enough to make a separate appointment to get a PRESCRIPTION for it is my 13th reason today

Cover your tattoos when you do crime

I cannot tell you how much I love it when this sticker ends up in a tattoo shop.

Thanks to Cameron and Tiger Tattoo Las Vegas!

This is an actual exchange from a VP who took an oath to defend the constitution and, as a citizen, is expected to abide by the law.

May we one day have accountability for the grotesque lawlessness of this regime.

We’re literally so down bad here. I have never seen anything like it.

Reminder: When the Secretary just said he did not blame the CDC shooting on SSRIs, he was lying.

At this point can RFKJ just make us a quick notes app list of the things he DOES know.

Cassidy's asking great questions. Wish he was harsher in his assessment of RFK Jr back when he could have stopped this nightmare from happening.

Wow Ivermectin and HCQ came up way quicker than I thought.
