It’s so hard to be the emotional support person for everyone when you’re having your own (much less important) emotional crisis. I don’t want to talk about my issues when yours are so much more important. Is one crisis at a time to much to ask for?
Ya por favor dejen de hacer series sobre adolescentes, necesito ver treintañeros tratando de encontrar amor y un departamento en medio de una crisis existencial.
Lionsgate partnered with Jackson State University to perform a rendition of Michael Jackson’s “Don’t Stop ‘Til You Get Enough” to promote their upcoming biopic ‘MICHAEL’.
I grew up being told “the older you get, the more conservative you become.”
I’m finding that the older I get, the more I just want our society to be more tolerant, charitable, kind, peaceable, and ensure that everyone has what they need to survive and thrive.
A massive new Japanese study - 182,000 pregnancies, advanced controls, sibling & sensitivity analyses - finds no credible evidence that prenatal Tylenol use causes autism.
Once rigorous bias adjustments are applied, associations disappear. The autism–Tylenol link still does not hold up under scrutiny.
⚠️TYLENOL & AUTISM—RFK Jr and Trump are wrong—the largest & best study in the world in 2.5 MILLION KIDS—found no increased autism risk with acetaminophen (aka paracetamol, Tylenol) use by the mother during pregnancy. A crude unadjusted analysis found only a preliminary 5% risk, but once you adjust for family by matching using sibling controls (who didn’t get autism), the even tiny 5% risk vaporizes to 0% 📉. (Fun fact: I used to do drug safety epidemiology and have been whistleblower against big pharma when their drugs were dangerous—so I know a few things about drug safety data). Thread 🧵.
Many studies suggest a major cause of autism is the mutated sperm of elderly fathers, but in a centuries old tradition (see everything from schizophrenia to eating disorders), men have decided to blame women for taking Tylenol while pregnant (despite no valid supporting studies).
