- Comment on Judge Finds ‘Likelihood’ That Charges Against Abrego Garcia Are Vindictive 11 hours ago:
A federal judge in Nashville ruled on Friday that there was a “realistic likelihood” that the indictment filed against Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, the immigrant who was wrongfully deported to El Salvador in March and then brought back to face criminal charges, amounted to a vindictive prosecution by the Justice Department.

Wait, what? So, is this part of lifting weights?
Our skeleton is much more than a rigid scaffold for the body, says geneticist Gérard Karsenty of Columbia University. Our bones secrete a protein called osteocalcin, discovered in the 1970s, that rebuilds the skeleton. In 2007, Karsenty and colleagues discovered that this protein acts as a hormone to keep blood sugar levels in check and burn fat. Later, his group showed that the hormone is important for maintaining brain function and physical fitness, restoring memory in aged mice and boosting performance during exercise in old mice and people. The findings led Karsenty to hypothesize that animals evolved bony skeletons to escape danger.

I noticed you didn’t mention the other in this “stupid article”.
Here’s Peter Pan:
Disney isn’t denying the racism in Peter Pan. In fact, when Disney+ launched, Peter Pan was one of a handful of films that included a sensitivity warning: “This program is presented as originally created. It may contain outdated cultural depictions.” The offensive portrayal of a Native American tribe is not unique to the Disney film either—it comes from the original play and novel by J.M. Barrie. But as Smithsonian Magazine notes, “The 1953 Disney movie doubled-down on racial stereotypes; one of the film’s songs is ‘What Made the Red Man Red.'”
Dumbo:
Like Peter Pan, Dumbo is one of the classic Disney films to get a content warning on Disney+. The movie’s most controversial moment arrives when the titular elephant meets a group of crows. “The black birds are depicted using African American stereotypes of the time, with jive-like speech patterns and jazzy-gospely songs sung in harmony,” as the Washington Post notes. “The main bird, named Jim Crow, was voiced by white actor Cliff Edwards, who engages in the vocal equivalent of blackface.”
What they said about Alladin:
Shortly after its release in 1992, Aladdin was called out for negative and damaging depictions of Arab culture. Disney actually changed two lines in the film for its home video release following pressure from the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee.
Beauty and the Beast
While not everyone agrees that the love story between Belle and the cursed prince is problematic, some have claimed that Beauty and the Beast actually glorifies Stockholm syndrome. After all, Belle only falls for the Beast after he locks her up in his enchanted castle and separates her from her beloved father.

And Disney was built by a guy that was at least very racist, and probably nazi adjacent.

Looks like the studies back you up. Also explains why there is so much sugar in children’s foods. It says in the article that it’s because it helps you avoid poison, but aren’t some poisons sweet?
In spite of these reductions, however, children’s intake of sugar remains higher than that recommended by health organizations worldwide. In contrast to sweet taste, children dislike and reject bitter taste, which protects them from ingesting poisons. Although variation in bitter taste receptor genes such as TAS2R38 accounts for people’s marked differences in perceptions of the same bitter-tasting compounds, basic research revealed that these genotype-phenotype relationships are modified with age, with children of the same genotype being more bitter sensitive than adults and the changeover occurring during mid adolescence.
In this article, we review findings from basic, experimental research in children that suggest the liking of sweet taste and the dislike of bitter taste are not solely a product of modern-day technology and advertising, but are reflective of children’s basic biology.
- Comment on LPT: Go get a shot, now. 5 weeks ago:
I guess they’re not authorizing the licensure of them, so that’s why it’s so tentative. He’s doing the trump vague thing, so you can’t go after him directly and then slowly take things away.
The rise in COVID comes as the Trump administration has delayed the rollout of the updated vaccine for the fall. Last year, the federal government had fully green-lighted the annual reformulation of the vaccine by June, in time for a rollout that began in September.
This year, however, the Department of Health and Human Services led by vaccine skeptic Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has in effect delayed the rollout of this fall’s COVID shot.
“Updated COVID-19 vaccines have been delayed this year due to federal policy changes, and we are awaiting [Food and Drug Administration] licensure of this season’s products,” the L.A. County Department of Public Health said in a statement to The Times. “This means availability in September may be later than what people experienced last fall.”
The California Department of Public Health also warned that because the federal government hasn’t made decisions on licensure approvals and recommendations, “availability and timing of specific COVID-19 vaccine products may be more limited and occur on a later schedule.”
