  • It’s funny how many people that claim to believe that vaccines cause autism out themselves as not truly believing that.

    The vast majority of people who parrot the vaccines cause autism bullshit also believe that autistic people should be punished for being autistic, even up to, in RFK Jrs own words: sent to labor camps. It’s not at all logically consistent to believe that autism is caused by an external factor outside of their control but also they need to be brutalized for daring to be autistic. It is, as always, a grift to get money from idiots.

    There’s definitely some moms of autism horseshit in there where “I can’t possibly be responsible for my child being autistic, it MUST be something else” is a major driving factor too. Anything to shift the blame away from yourself for failing to take care of your child properly.









  • Rich people figured out that if you buy a news outlet and just have them repeat a lie over and over and over and over it just becomes a fact that everyone knows.

    From there you have your politicians run on fixing the problem you lied about existing and now everyone is convinced that not only is the problem real, but only the right wingers can fix it.

    Bonus: when your chosen politicians win, you can have your media outlet lie about the problem being fixed to give people a warm fuzzy to reinforce voting this way.







  • At least pretending like they care would be a good start. They unanimously approved a few Trump appointees on the promise that the republicans might reconsider one or two and whoops the dems once again got the football pulled out from in front of them. They literally cannot learn the lesson that bargaining with the republicans gets them nothing in return ever because they are the only ones who will hold up their end of the deal…

    At a bare minimum they can stop doing that.



  • I remember when big phones used to be called “phablets” and that was considered a bad thing that only certain power user types would want…

    And then the same marketing that hit cars came to phones when companies realized that “bigger than the last model” was an easy way to have a number that they could point to that got bigger to imply this one was somehow better. That and human brains are wired to like bright colors so store displays of PHONE WITH BIG BRIGHT COLOR SCREEN made people want it despite it being objectively less easy to use than a more reasonably sized device.
