Of course, but sinophobia and yellow peril narratives having been going strong in Aus for over a century.

To be more unpopular than Xi with australians is a big deal.

I lean toward that interpretation but am open to being wrong.

I work in mental health and was surprised by the amount of people in the field who believe marijuana is part of the problem, not just a symptom of it.

Cannabis use was more common among: ... Youth on Medicaid or living in more deprived neighborhoods

Regular reminder that correlation =/= causation. Living a more stressful life due to poverty makes both mental illness and adolescent cannabis use more common.

That said there is a credible biological pathway to cannabis use having a causal role:

THC acts on CB1 receptors, which are highly expressed in the adolescent brain and play a key role in emotional regulation, motivation, and cognitive development.

However we still don't have definitive evidence of causation:

Q: Does this study prove cannabis causes mental illness? A: While causation can’t be definitively established, cannabis use was associated with an increased risk of developing psychiatric conditions

My favorite UFO explanation is that it was largely a ploy to waste the USSR's money. They'll have to expend more resources chasing down a red herring than it takes us to lie about it. No coincidence then, that as a near-peer competitor emerges again we get UAPs.

"I'll release some BS we made up" is incredibly appropriate as a desperate distraction.

This misunderstands the situation.

Most of the conservative majority on the court are active participants in the ongoing fascist coup, probably a few are just committed sympathizers.

This isn't the supreme court enforcing the law against the president, this is a disagreement between factions within the regime about the priorities and direction.

This should be in an Enough Newsom Spam community so we can block it.

Idaho > Oregon does not seem correct.

It's too early to say andrew is being held accountable.

He's being investigated over giving classified info to epstein. He's not facing justice for all the children he raped or for any role he had in organizing and facilitating the child sex trafficking he was part of.

If this is easier to prove in court and he ends up with life in a real prison where he can be shivved in the yard, then we can say he's being held accountable.

This might be the single least shit shitpost i've ever seen.

That clock rules. What a thing of beauty.
