Backwards

I had a whole post about the Jimmy Kimmel situation, and now he's back, so... 

(That they attempted to get him off the air is still wrong. I'm happy to learn that the pushback worked. Now, if we could harness that energy for everything the regime attempts.) 

So, Tylenol and autism? Really? 

Someone wrote that the reason they went after acetaminophen is because it's the only pain med that pregnant women can take. And, that could be it. It's like they want to punish women for getting pregnant, but then they complain if the birth rate goes down. 

I can tell you what causes autism. Genetics. 

Of course, what sort of autism are we talking about? Because there's a spectrum. And if we're talking about developmental disabilities, that might be something else altogether. 

I bet if we went back in time, we'd notice all sorts of people displaying autistic traits. And ADHD. We're just more attuned to these sorts of things nowadays, and not so many people manage to get by anymore. This is a good thing. 

As for the long-time debunked vaccine theory, I like to think that they got it reversed. Vaccines don't cause autism. Autism causes vaccines. (The sorts of people who go into science... How many of them are on the spectrum? I wouldn't be shocked to learn many of them are.) 

And finally...

I haven't had much time to look for interesting links of late, but I did find this "How to get rid of a dictator" that you might find interesting. And a local L.A. site called L.A. Taco (which does search for the best tacos in L.A.) has been reporting on ICE going after car washes. Because of course.
