RFK Jr. Will Reportedly Link Autism To Tylenol Use During Pregnancy Tylenol maker Kenvue denies the connection allegedly made in the report, which is expected to be published by the Department of Health and Human Services this month.

Having all this time to invent a โ€œcauseโ€ and landing on paracetamol is arguably the most incompetent thing this historically incompetent administration has done in weeks. Canโ€™t even come up with something fun or wacky. Conspiracy theorists without imagination, the worst kindโ€ฆ

OR they like areas they grew up wanting to be in. I have a very high opinion of places like Palmerโ€™s Green because itโ€™s precisely the sort of place my family didnโ€™t come from and it was aspirational to me.

Canโ€™t say Iโ€™m rushing to either tbh. And youโ€™re right, Iโ€™m still getting used to a limited character count and how it forces your opinions into an insufficient box, changing them in the process.

I do think the City is underrated though. Beyond that, people tend to like the areas theyโ€™re from ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

Both are wrong, not only in their โ€œgood vs badโ€ assessment, but also in the social history of the area. The idea of the west-end being some luxury area for wealthy white people is an extremely modern phenomenon, and itโ€™s universally accepted that this gentrification makes those areas much worse

On a background of UTAW logos coloured in the various queer flags is the following text:

"The International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, and Transphobia (IDAHOBIT) is an important day in the queer calendar, representing the day that the World Health Organisation took homosexuality off their list of mental illnesses in 1973, but the struggle continues -- every. single. day. 

Weโ€™re all weary of companies putting out bland, empty statements. All while they continue to support political parties that stoke division, push oppressive laws and legal decisions, support the military-industrial complex, and fund Israelโ€™s genocide.

Weโ€™ll continue working to get all queer people the dignity they deserve, in and out of work,  no matter the time of year.

Oh, and remember, Barclays did NOT throw the first brick at Stonewall.

None of us are free until all of us are free.

Join a union that will stand up for your rights today."

โ€œThat they should be the ones to welcome Pope Francisโ€™s coffin in the basilica is because these people are those who represented the focus of his mission,โ€ said Father Giulio Albanese, head of missionary cooperation and communications for the Vicariate of Rome. โ€œThey are those who live on the peripheries, geographical and existential peripheries.โ€

The final honor guard for Pope Francis included migrants, prisoners, transgender people, the homeless and others selected by the Vicariate of Rome as a symbol of the late popeโ€™s mission of inclusion and outreach.

Pope Francis has died, Vatican says in video statement Pope Francis, the first Latin American leader of the Roman Catholic Church, has died, the Vatican said in a video statement on Monday, ending an often turbulent reign marked by division and tension as he sought to overhaul the hidebound institution.

Radical anti-avoidance measures hidden in the Spring Statement It wasnโ€™t mentioned in the Chancellorโ€™s speech, but the Spring Statement papers contain a major suite of anti-tax avoidance proposals, probably the toughest ever introduced. If enacted this willโ€ฆ

Unfortunately most voters - and many of those who share populist political soundbites online - donโ€™t actually read the small print.

Pushing the definition of "good movie", but Don Cheadle's cockney accent in Oceans Eleven is a classic. It's on par with Dick Van Dyke in Mary Poppins

Youโ€™re not patriotic because youโ€™re from the U.K. which is great, the U.K. is great because youโ€™re from it, which fills you with a little bit of pride.

The word โ€œoutperformโ€ is conveniently vague in this sentence.

Can they do something quicker? Probably. Can they do it at a lower up-front cost? Maybe.

Can they do something that normally requires an advanced degree correctly? That remains to be seenโ€ฆ

Zone 1 but with an emphasis on the West End. Although the City is included in that, I donโ€™t think people are usually referring to it
