And while there has been a steady drumbeat of op-eds of late in certain legacy media outlets accusing Bluesky of being trapped in its own liberal bubble, Shiffman, for one, has few concerns about that. “I don’t care about this, because I don’t use social media to argue with strangers about politics,” he wrote in his accompanying blog post. “I use social media to talk about fish. When I talk about fish on Bluesky, people ask me questions about fish. When I talk about fish on Twitter, people threaten to murder my family because we’re Jewish.” He compared the current incarnation of Twitter as no better than 4Chan or TruthSocial in terms of the percentage of “conspiracy-prone extremists” in the audience. “Even if you want to stay, the algorithm is working against you,” he wrote.
Let me guess, the Whitehouse that has yet to say something about the two Minnesota lawmakers has immediately responded to one of these two shootings condemning it.
“I can’t stand empathy. I think empathy is a made-up, New Age term that — it does a lot of damage, but it is very effective when it comes to politics.” ― Charlie Kirk
“Death penalties should be public, should be quick, it should be televised. I think at a certain age, its an initiation…What age should you start to see public executions?” ― Charlie Kirk (the podcast came up with the age of 12 by the way)
“I think it’s worth it. I think it’s worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights.” ― Charlie Kirk
In response to David DePape’s arrest over the weekend, conservative radio talkshow host Charlie Kirk encouraged his audience Monday to bail the man who attacked Paul Pelosi with a hammer Friday out of jail.
During his livestream show on Monday, the Turning Point USA founder also dismissed the idea that “Republican rhetoric” inspired the assault on House
Thigs are crazy over there, it seems, or that’s at least the info we are getting. And it’s kinda funny how, if everything the political figures you chose to represent you are saying was said by the president of a, idk, african or south américan country, the adjectives to describe that country would hover around “failed state” and “rise of fascist rhetoric”.
While I’ve never watched it, it is pretty crazy that they just pulled him the comments he made. They were pretty tame really.
There was a show in Australia during the late 90s/ early 2000 called Good News Week that absolutely ripped shreds off the politicians of the time and they were allowed to continue without hindrance. If Trump had come across them he’d probably have a heart attack.
I didn’t know what tylenol is so I thought at first “well, Idk, maybe it’s some kind of solvent that could in theory be harmful”, but it’s actually paracetamol?
Found it weird too. Wikipedia states that the WHO calls it paracetamol, and that other rogue countries (United States, Canada, Japan, South Korea, Colombia and Venezuela) calls it that other weird way. The imperial units block of easily available medication.
Looks like it comes down to which lab coined the term and had influence in those areas, because it seems it was developed in multiple locations around the same time:
Both paracetamol and acetaminophen are contractions of chemical names for the compound. The word “paracetamol” is a shortened form of para-acetylaminophenol, and was coined by Frederick Stearns & Co in 1956, while the word “acetaminophen” is a shortened form of N-acetyl-p-aminophenol (APAP), which was coined and first marketed by McNeil Laboratories in 1955. The initialism APAP is used by dispensing pharmacists in the United States.
Just went to check the paper where paracetamol was first reported ( Sci-Hub : {title} [{doi}]) and the guy uses both Paracetylamidophenol and Acetylamidophenole. So to answer my question, I think idk and it doesn’t matter that much. However, as in anything, it would be good to have a single standard for most stuff, but I think asking some specific countries to change their ways and side with the WHO might be too much to ask, politically speaking, of course.
