I recently flew my cats across the country! Of course they both had accidents, and the only space in the airport to let them out of their carriers and clean them was the assisted restroom! I swear I was in there <5 min, but of course there was a knock, and I was the jerk using it!

Our definition of autism today is not the same as it was in the 90s. It has expanded, and that alone can explain the rise in cases diagnosed. Some suspicious environmental factors have been identified by the NIH; sadly not ones I've heard in the news lately... www.niehs.nih.gov/health/topic...

Maddow: 88% of the country says no, no, he cannot defy a supreme court ruling. Only 9% say yes he can. And you know, it's not the same thing. But I should mention that 9% is also the proportion of Americans who told yougov this week that they have a favorable view of the black plague

This statement about the transphobic Supreme Court ruling by the UK's Crab Museum (yes a museum about crabs) is better than 99% of the statements I've seen on the topic www.crabmuseum.org/visit 🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀

In 1939, Germany invaded Poland, whose president at the time was Ignacy Moscicki. This was the official start of WWII. In 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine, whose president was (and is) Volodymyr Zelenski. If the war in Ukraine is Zelenski's fault, does that mean WWII was Moscicki's fault...?

So how exactly does shutting down the department of education will help make Americans better students? The majority of schools' funding (along with curricula decisions) comes from local districts and states. If you don't believe me search your federal tax form for a school district entry!
