Predator Badlands understands that the secret to a good Predator movie is 70 minutes of toxic masculinity and 30 minutes of "toxic masculinity has failed, time to build elaborate booby traps."

A female sex demon is called a succubus. A male sex demon is called an incubus. A non-binary sex demon is called an omnibus.

The fantasy of Superman, at least for me, is that you can *help*. That you can take action and make a difference. That when interesting things happen, you can engage with them and with the people they touch. You can connect. You can leave a mark.

I took Tylenol as needed throughout my pregnancy. I am a doctor. I order Tylenol for pregnant women regularly. Tylenol is safe in pregnancy. RFK Jr is ignoring a huge recent well-done study because he doesn't like the answer it gives. There is no causality between Tylenol and autism.

Let’s say this again.

Read this carefully, line-by-line, so you don’t forget.

Gender affirming care is not harmful to patients.

In fact, it’s actually shown to REDUCE rates of suicide in transgender people by up to 70%.

RFK Jr. in interview with Scripps News: β€˜Trusting the experts is not science’ HHS Secretary RFK Jr. sat down with Scripps News for a wide-ranging interview, discussing mRNA vaccine funding policy changes and a recent shooting at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

1. "'Trusting the experts is not a feature of either a science or democracy," Kennedy said."

It's literally a vital feature of both science and of representative democracy.

I've written a fair bit about trust in expertise as a vital mechanism in the collective epistemology of science.

A government-sanctioned "truth arbiter" will soon arrive at CBS. Their role will be to ensure that journalists do not criticize this Administration or express views that conflict with its agenda.

This is a betrayalβ€”not just of journalistic independence, but of the public trust. 🧡

I urge others to take notice and find their courage.

Because if the First Amendment is to mean anything at all, it must mean that no governmentβ€”regardless of partyβ€”gets to decide what is true, who gets heard, or which voices are silenced.
