Science Fiction

It’s nice to have Jimmy back, but we’ve got bigger fish to fry. Actually, on our current trajectory, the ocean might fry them for us. “In a remarkable United Nations address, the president lashed out at wind turbines, environmentalists and allies around the world while dismissing the dangers of climate change.” NYT (Gift Article): Trump to World: Green Energy Is a Scam and Climate Science Is From ‘Stupid People.’

+ “Don’t take Tylenol,” Mr. Trump said standing next to Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. “Fight like hell not to take it.” ABC: ‘Highly concerning’: Major medical groups react to Trump’s claim that Tylenol is linked to autism. (Ironically, the only time I really need Tylenol is during press conferences when Trump discusses medicine.)

+ WSJ (Gift Article): Trump, Tylenol and the Plaintiffs Bar. “Why the sudden alarm, complete with a presidential presser? The Occam’s razor answer is the influence of RFK Jr., who is carrying water for his friends in the plaintiffs bar. A who’s-who of lawsuit shops are pushing the Tylenol-autism link in federal court.” (I imagine there’s some of this, along with a heavy dose of general quackery.)
