I honestly wasn’t gonna post this dance, but then my brain wrote alt lyrics to this song and I had no choice. Dear #LanceBass, I’m really sorry. Love, Joe. #NSYNC #ItsGonnaBeMay #RFKJr now says any new vaccine needs a placebo trial, ignoring the fact that EVERY vaccine went through placebo trials.

Once again, no vaccines contain “aborted fetus debris.” That has never been proven because it’s not real. #RFKJr wants more unalived kids and adults, so he keeps spreading anti-vax rhetoric like this. He remains completely untrustworthy as a health leader and as a person.

My toxic trait is, every April 29th, thinking I can learn the “It’s Gonna Be Me” choreography in about 15 minutes to make a video that won’t be a complete embarrassment to myself and anyone watching. (Spoiler alert: my every attempt is terrible) #NSYNC

For years I have called my wife and we talk to each other on my drive home from work. I have been back at work after paternity leave for three days and since then my phone call has been greeted with my son screaming his head off. New normal? Haha.

On milk safety: At this point, I don’t think you need to make any dramatic changes in buying milk or consuming it, but that may change within a week or two. Or they’ll walk this back and try to restore funding - hard to predict as this admin seems bent on hurting as many Americans as possible.

What on earth do anti-vaxxers think they got correct? None of the things the “unvaccinated” claimed have come true. No sudden deaths, no random day where 5G tracking kicked in, no increase in turbo cancer. Things have gotten worse in some ways, but that’s anti-vaxxers’ fault.

Easter Special! Resurrections and unholy hybrid animals! I’m joined by @dmos150.bsky.social & @mopathguy.bsky.social to discuss de-extinction efforts and corporate science! iTunes: tinyurl.com/bde64p48 Spotify: tinyurl.com/5fzths77

That President Biden lives rent-free in Trump's head absolutely tickles me. That people claim Biden had dementia (instead of just a speech impediment and clear physical aging) when Trump either can't remember or lies about what he says always seems desperate and ageist to me.

"We can’t trust RFK Jr and anything his #HHS office says. Get your #nutrition info from better sources.👇🏾" TRUTH. Click through to the end for a list of better people than RFK, Jr for nutrition advice.

Love this! Excellent list, and very needed with all the diet/food/dye misinformation out there!

No doctor is upset because we’re taking synthetic dyes out of our food (even if that was actually happening, and not just RFK Jr trying to flex and failing). We are upset about why they’re harping on this - a distraction at best. #FoodDyes are safe at regulated levels,

I’m not the kind of person to jump at a #tell-all #memoir, but when I saw that Meta was getting legal means to shut down distribution and promotion, I felt more compelled to read it. Book #14 of 2025: Careless People by Sarah Wynn-Williams. (1/7)🧵

What even IS an “attack from the left”? An attack from the right is J6 Insurrections, white supremacists’ mass #GunViolence, #SCOTUS striking down rights to privacy, healthcare (#AbortionIsHealthcare), religious freedom, and the admin’s disregard for #FirstAmendment (of which they accuse the Left).

I keep telling my son he cannot fly. I don’t want to discourage his dreams, but he is 7 weeks old and can’t hold his head up, let alone survive launching himself off my body. Am I going to be his villain origin story?

#RFKJr keeps spouting anti-#vaccine crap because he thinks you won’t fact check him. He is also #ableist and bordering on eugenics. He: - Calls #autism an epidemic (it isn’t) - Calls autism a disease (it isn’t) that destroys children (it doesn’t) - Says autistic folks cannot contribute to society

A throwback to my op-ed about the time I broke down just like Dr. Robby in #ThePitt. I’d be honored if you read it. #Tears #Flashbacks docwithbowtie.substack.com/p/that-scene...

Thrilled to announce that I will be one of six speakers at TEDxBuffalo 2025 this June! Check out the organization and event, and all the other speakers, too! @tedxbuffalo

It’s annoying that most of the mail my infant gets is from the insurance company. I get it, and there have been cards, too, and it’s not like he can read it, but…still.

Mainstream media? Nah. I get my news the way any discerning American should. I watch @joshjohnsoncomedy.bsky.social clips on YouTube.

SAVE Act: voter suppression. No states allow non-citizens voting in federal elections. Most efforts to uncover voter fraud reveal Republicans. OTOH, if your name is different on license vs birth certificate…Married women that took husband’s name? Here’s a voting hurdle.

Is Original Grain a legit watch company? I’m not really a watch guy, but I like some of their stuff. I have one “nice watch” that was gifted to me that I wear to things, but I’m wondering if adding another one into the rotation would be fun.
