Dan Ports<p>I'd just like to remind everyone that each week approximately 23% of Americans take acetaminophen, so if it really caused autism, we'd have a way more functional train system in this country.</p>

Dana Fried<p>One of the great things about Mastodon is if you need a computer to do something:<br> - Seventeen people will just tell you to use Linux<br> - Eleven people will recommend an app that won't run on your hardware<br> - Six people will recommend something you have to build and/or host yourself<br> - Three will recommend a service that costs $20/mo and does none of what you want<br> - ... and one will have built EXACTLY the thing you need, ten years ago, because they had the same problem</p><p>Gods bless this site.</p>
Janel Comeau<p>I have taken<br>the Tylenol<br>that was in<br>the medicine cabinet</p><p>and which<br>they think probably<br>is the reason <br>you like trains</p><p>forgive me<br>but that’s bullshit<br>you got autism <br>from your dad</p>

McNadoMD<p>The autism acetaminophen bullshit is just another way to make women suffer. Most drugs carry some risk in pregnancy. So does stress. Acetaminophen doesn’t increase risk of autism (a well done, very large trial, using matched sibling controls shows that), but even if it did, every other pain and fever medication is worse.</p>
Matt Blaze<p>I can't help but wonder if the manufacturer of Tylenol failed to make an appropriately worthy campaign contribution.</p>
Dgar<p>The reinstatement of Jimmy Kimmel is no reason to reinstate your Disney+ subscription. </p><p>Say no to fascism.</p>

Kit Yates<p>Makes you wonder how the pandemic would have panned out if it were just health journalists penning the headlines rather than political journalists.</p>
D Lavoie<p>The NYT liveblog on the autism press conference is a fascinating read -- largely because it's written by health reporters and not political reporters. Look at how direct and appropriately shocked these posts are! <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/live/2025/09/22/us/trump-news?smid=nytcore-ios-share&amp;referringSource=articleShare" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">www.nytimes.com/live/2025/09...</a><span class=""><br><br>RE: <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:2f2igkk5bnrwoxulpn4frwwz/post/3lzhqxs4kz222" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:2f2igkk5bnrwoxulpn4frwwz/post/3lzhqxs4kz222</a></span></p>

JA Westenberg<p>amazing how the party of “small government” wants the state to live rent-free in your bedroom, your body, and your browser history</p>
