Obviously the anti-vax measle spreading stuff is awful for society but honestly I'll accept them letting dumbshits kill off their children to get the rest of this stuff moving forward. Like, the Covid vaccine effort was the single positive thing that came out of the first Trump admin. This could be the positive thing that comes out of the second one if it can get rolling.

Goddammit this is going to be one of those things where I have to hold my nose bc there are seemingly like 10 things I strongly support and agree with for every one that I think is terrible. But how do you not take that bargain?

yeah, it's a cost I'm willing to pay

This is like the most forward thinking R's have done in like, how many years? Too bad the rest of the crew wants to live in the 1930's. I'll give them credit for this one though. :thumbs:

Aaron Rupar is the absolute nut-low. Good grief.
-
Aaron Rupar is the absolute nut-low. Good grief.
aren't his tweets usually just directly quoting the person talking? From what i can tell he doesn't usually editorialize too much, just boosts awareness of what those people are saying/doing.
-
Aaron Rupar is the absolute nut-low. Good grief.
what does "the absolute nut-low" mean? the guy whose twitter account documents the actual words that politicians say?
-
Rupar absolutely editorializes under the guise of "just posting what politicians say" much like Libsoftiktok just posted tiktoks of liberals at the start.
(He obviously isn't as evil as LoTT but he definitely editorializes)

Would definitely agree with this.

He's a click farmer, not an investigative journalist is I guess what the distinction would be for me.

Tons of those guys tbh
-
I'm also very curious about what "the absolute nut-low" means
-
Even with the editorializing, he provides a valuable service just by putting so much of what these guys say in the public domain. The biggest fair criticism of him is what he chooses to not post. But that's easy enough to find from others.
-
I'm also very curious about what "the absolute nut-low" means
yes it's obvious who is audience is and he does editorialize in his tweets. but he is almost exclusively posting videos of politicians speaking.
but yes my main question is what nic's phrase means
-

I wish he included a full link to a speech/press conference along with his clips. Because it isn't always easy to get the full context
-
In Omaha Hi-Lo and other lowball poker games, the "nut low" refers to the absolute best possible low hand. In Ace-to-Five Lowball, the nut low is A-2-3-4-5, while in Deuce-to-Seven Lowball, it's 7-5-4-3-2.
The term is often used in regular high card poker games to refer to worthless hands, which is the way I’m referring to Rupar.
-
So how does that apply here, where Rupar is just posting a clip of RFK Jr being a dumbass who will get people killed?
-

If the dipshits he quotes stop saying stupid crap, and you may get your wish. Good luck with that.

Ah, reality can be uncomfortable I will concede that

i would say his tweets aren't garbage but he does tweet garbage. you should probably just mute his account if you are tired of seeing it?

Much respect to Rusty and Lib

nicname doesn't appreciate all of his dumbass beliefs getting made fun of and dunked on by people like rupar highlighting them for everyone to point and laugh how stupid they are.

It was a pretty fun 38 seconds of hoping this lunatic would possibly do more good things than bad. Two more headlines today. Yes, just rumors so far, but in line with his batshit thinking.
Eliminating suicide hotline for LGBTQ youth that receives over 2k inquires a day
Developing a way to "track" people with autism.
I'll just not eat things with food dyes on my own if they don't do the things above.

No, it is not true that most blue dyes are "incredibly good for you." In fact, the evidence indicates the opposite, especially regarding the most common synthetic blue dyes used in foods and consumer products.

I don't know for sure why Spencer left Twitter but the whole platforming and amplifying and encouraging Nazis thing is a problem for a lot of people. I don't think Elon would be as hated as much (pre-DOGE) if he hasn't made it a priority to amplify the voices of Nazis.

He and Holly Anderson have run an annual fundraising drive to raise money for a refugee resettlement charity for more than a decade. Jason Kirk donated a sizable amount of the profits from his novel to The Trevor Project. I'm not sure any of them said exactly why they left, but it is very obvious The Shutdown Fullcast crew doesn't vibe with what Twitter has become.

twitter is the gold standard. i spent like 10-15 years curating my list of follows. it was an incredible run following global news events live, getting all my stupid sports news, and lol'ing at some of the most hilarious stuff i've ever read.
however, once elon took over and mumped up the checkmark system, and mumped up the comment sorting system, and allowed the app to be flooded with bots, and amplified nazi crap, and promoted right wing sponsored ads all the time, i decided to delete the app because the user experience completely cratered. i still have an account and i still click on twitter links but i am a lot happier not scrolling through that anymore.
lmk when bluesky is ready for the big time (probably never)

Bsky has 35M users now but it is still primarily politics driven. Few sports teams have accounts.
I'm still on Twitter for sports news but I hate getting notifications of random Elon posts or other weirdo MAGA's.

The college football people I like moved to bluesky. For other sports, TikTok is great.

National CFB is great on bluesky, zero Cat info on there though. National MLB is ok as well and some of the Royals beat have moved over. Sports is still very lacking in general though. I don't use it as much as I used Twitter so that's a good thing in general for me at least. I don't miss the Nazis and crypto bros at the top of every comment regardless of topic much at all. It's such a bummer that they ruined it, but probably better for my brain not being on it anyway.

This is 100% the conservative way of thinking. You shouldn't have done drugs. You shouldn't have ran from the cops. You shouldn't have had sex. If you do those things, you should suffer the most sever consequence possible. It's just a bonkers way of thinking, but it's what gets them horned up the most.

Hey so I know there are a lot of posters on this board who are really excited about all the loosening of regulations (good for business) and what I’m about to say has absolutely nothing to do with loosening of regulations — but you guys might want to consider figuring out where you can find purveyors of halal and kosher meats bc those still have all the standards that tend to keep your meats from giving you explosive diarrhea and/or killing you to death. Just food for thought (literally)
Unfortunately halal and kosher don’t do pork so you’re on your own when it comes to bacon

Lentils, my friend. Lentils are a nutritional cheat code. Packed with protein and fiber and cheaper than a $2 whore. Mix with brown basmati rice, and you have a nutritional gruel that contains all of the elements necessary to sustain life.

I would probably eat lentils 3-4 days a week if my family didn't hate it. Get the vegan Richa cookbook if you really want to up your legume game

Lentils belong to a class (family?) of plants called pulses. Canada produces by far the most in the world, which means you can expect lentils to shoot up to $0.50/lb., rather than the $0.30/lb. we're all used to.

I don’t know if flouride amounts found in drinking water are dangerous or not. Probably doesn’t hurt for it not to be in things like drinking water or toothpaste. It’s always good to have scientists continue to try to tear down consensus, especially if science says something is safe.

You have drank it everyday of almost your entire life bud.

Just keep it in and those who don't want it can filter it out. Seems pretty reasonable to me.

Well, my pineal gland certainly isn’t decalcified. I mean, we used to have lead in paint and asbestos in insulation. Also, I’ve used filtered water most of my life, including now with our top-shelf reverse osmosis system from EcoWater.
Also, Wichita’s public water is not fluoridated.
Most top tier water filtration systems filter out fluoride.

The thing is, none of this exists in a vacuum.
https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-025-01396-2 (https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-025-01396-2)
Staff members at the US National Science Foundation (NSF) were told on 30 April to “stop awarding all funding actions until further notice,” according to an email seen by Nature.
The policy prevents the NSF, one of the world’s biggest supporters of basic research, from awarding new research grants and from supplying allotted funds for existing grants, such as those that receive yearly increments of money. The email does not provide a reason for the freeze and says that it will last “until further notice”.

Guess all that’s left is to “do your own research.”

I mean, arguing that it’s best for scientists to continue to test and try to disprove theory/consensus/prevailing thought, even consensus, is the backbone of the scientific method and academia. To argue that it’s anti-intellectual is a pretty rough argument to make.

And that backbone is severely weakened because it has polio
-
How much continued argument is needed? Science isn’t faith. We will never get a reputable scientist say anything is 100%. If it’s replicated or tested with similar results, is that adequate? Should we retest every 10 yrs? 50yrs? Will it become settled science at some point to the extent that a new generation of skeptics should be able to consider it a closed case, or should we have to prove settled science to all comers who refuse past scientific work? Where is that line and when are we done kicking ourselves because there isn’t a current and relevant reality tv star backing the science?

But changing the status quo that is backed by well-established, credible science before you find any convincing evidence that the status quo is harmful? That sounds bunk. The only reason to do that is in service of a belief in conspiracies or, worse, a desire to pander to those poor souls who do. Absent exceptional circumstances not present here, the status quo should be maintained unless the person asking to disturb it puts forth convincing-enough evidence of the merits to the appropriate standard (of production, persuasion, or proof). To do otherwise would be to embrace anarchy and/or nihilism, which just so happens to be in vogue right now among a certain voting bloc. Also, the stuff CNS said.

The problem is that skepticism is fundamental to the scientific process, so there’s a kernel of truth to the philosophy.
A great example is the guidance on flossing. For years (decades?) it was treated as critically important for oral hygiene until just a few years ago when someone actually probed into the evidence behind the guidance and realized it was actually super thin.
https://www.health.harvard.edu/blog/tossing-flossing-2016081710196
Where it gets twisted is that a lot of people have zero appreciation for study quality, so if they have a feeling and there is ANYTHING out there to validate it, that’s going to be the truth for them. So it’s latching on to one piece of the scientific method without really understanding (or caring) why that piece is even important.

I wanted to share information re: Autism diagnosis and the potential for a national registry. If you are parents and haven't already I suggest you contact physicians, hospitals, medical researchers, schools, and insurance providers, including Medicaid and the CDDO. Children's Mercy's legal team has been incredibly helpful in guiding us on how to best secure our child's information. Their suggestion, rescind ALL permissions to share any information, have records altered to not list diagnosis unless it's required for care, and limit who is sharing diagnosis beyond that. The CDDO has altered the BASIS report for our child, Medicaid and his Case Manager have removed the diagnosis from the health assessment, as well as the person centered support plan, the school district has removed diagnosis from the IEP plan, etc... I was not the only parent who reached out, and after speaking with our genetics doctor, the Children's Mercy legal team some great guidance to get us started. The CDDO (Johnson County) also went through all documents in our child's case and identified anywhere the diagnosis was listed so the person who owns/ created the document could amend it. It's a process, but we're trying to protect the information anywhere we can. Other options to consider: mobile devices, social media accounts, any groups you may belong to on Meta which are connected to the diagnosis, etc... The only thing we cannot rescind is participation in NIH funded research. That data already exists in NIH files and can't be removed. But by law and research protocol, the blind studies are conducting using no names or other identifying factors for study participants. In theory our child's research ID number has been shared, but since we rescinded consent, the child's name and any samples or data tied to that number have now been deleted/ destroyed. I hope this might be helpful to anyone else trying to navigate options to protect personal health information.
FYI. Shared by a parent that doesn’t want their child to end up in that freak’s data base.

If he wants to get to the bottom of autism, he should replace those fired with people best fit to focus on the problem as intently as anyone could. People who will obsess about it until it ruins other parts of their lives. People who will ignore their own wellbeing to work hard as possible to solve the problem. In short, he should hire autistic people to work on that.
