Hold on, the baby is IN THE PLACENTA? Someone call a doctor for this woman.

I think it's standard scientific practice to do a cross-country correlation, assume the relationship is causal, have the president tell everyone not to use a specific medicine, and then follow up with some studies to hopefully prove it. Isn't it?

Manitoba might be a bit behind the times though. I recall they had a paper health card as recently as 2011.

I don’t know why people keep forgetting that after you fuck around, you find out. This has been known for some time now.

How is it possible that this person is the president of the United States?

Hi Bluesky!

I'm excited to share my job market paper (for the 2025-26 market)!

Got a bit worried when I first read this headline as a person who drank 6-8 cans of artificially sweetened pop every day for 20 years. Good to know it’s BS and my cognitive ability will remain steady at a grade 5 level.
