I never said it was the only cause. Ignoring it completely as a cause at all is both unscientific and bad reporting when it affects 1 in 5 households with kids.

He’s literally describing what people with functional illiteracy do to work around being unable to read at a working level. He’s describing it as an acceptable goal. Batshit crazy.

Not a single mention of food insecurity or nutrition in student outcomes, despite the fact that BEFORE the economy went sideways due to this stupid ass war 20% of homes with children were food-insecure. Only the deepest level of reporting from the NYT 🙄

This used to be what nurse’s hotlines were for. I feel lucky my current insurance has one, my previous one was like ‘lol figure it out yourself.’

Also, when I call nurse’s hotlines most of the time the issue I’m worried about needs to be checked by a doctor anyway. I don’t feel confident AI would necessarily tell you there’s not a way you can DIY it.

I think some of them like to be handled a little rougher than we give them credit for, in short bursts at least. Our cat always gets ecstatic if I’m a little rough while scratching his head

Vance wants sick kids to die.

Damn, I just backed a project that doesn’t have adult content right now, but conceivably could in the future just because it’s a slice of life comic about adults (also sci fi but that’s irrelevant to the overall point). I wonder how this is going to affect funded but not yet disbursed projects.

Especially since the restrictions are so severe… you can’t do a ton of legitimate art if you can’t show nip or butt.

And also get to vote and have representation in the house and senate?

Where are all the fucking brain trusts that spent the last year telling me AI data centers aren’t actually that bad and it’s just like watching YouTube?

Given weed’s increasing legality it would be interesting to follow a human cohort and see if this holds true for people, too. I’ve kept 50+ pounds off for like 10 years? now and have been a daily user that entire time, it’s interesting to think that may have helped. Especially since I know studies say long term weight loss is uncommon.

Show me anything Greene has done to benefit the people she’s harmed. Talk is cheap.

Hope he gets rich off it.

Overturning Citizens United would go a long way.

I see so many of those disposed of on the street near a vape store and it drives me nuts.

Yes, but at least a septic system is underground and functioning most of the time. They’re living with it literally just pumped outdoors. It’s basically an automated chamber pot that’s getting dumped outside.

The article mentions 96 dB for 24 hours a day

You might be thinking of passenger pigeons (which are a different species and extinct), homing pigeon is just a name used for any rock dove/pigeon that is bred to return home after being released. Same species as feral pigeons.

Is that its parietal eye visible?? Cool pic!

Same, I went in maybe 2015? and had my finger scanned. I’d already bought the tickets in advance online and had an excited preteen with me, what was I going to do, turn around and make her go home? They know you’re not going to say no because they’ve spent billions of dollars convincing every child in your life that it’s the closest thing to going to heaven without dying.

That’s pretty great honestly, the only one I ever saw that stuck out in my head was a generic health ad or something that had a man doing ballet, and someone had just slapped a nipple sticker of the appropriate size and color in the right spot so it looked like it was meant to be there. I walked by it and was like ‘wait did that ad have that guy nips out last time I was here?’
