I'm not as concerned with this as I am with the fascism, because this will at least kill us indiscriminately

My friend, this is part of the fascism.

Well at least we know which publication refused to capitulate to morons.

I wonder which ones they kept.

its called pseudoscience=alternative science, naturopathy, homeopathy. he regularly consumes methylene blue.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

There is legitimate research on the effects of ingesting methylene blue. Don’t confuse that with pseudoscience. There’s probably plenty of pseudoscience around it, but it’s not (at its core) naturopathy/homeopathy/voodoo.

yes there is, but rfk jr consumes it in his drinks, he thinks that is valid enough.

The US is like a reality tv show, except it's less believable.

They're probably already in the data set of whichever LLM they use to write their policy documents anyway, so sure, fine. 🙄

Did they just hear the term junk science and went "no u"?

This administration is so fucking frustrating, but it seems they want to remove any meaning of that word, the same way they always do.

Nah, John Stossel was using it back in the '90s to deny climate change. The term "junk science" has always been used as an excuse to ignore reality.

That's EXACTLY what they did, yeah. Just like when they appropriated "fake news" which was originally a term describing their own disinformation.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 days ago

That's not new though, Stalin and Hitler both played the fake news game.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

Which also nicely mirrors the Nazis calling everybody that contradicts them Lügenpresse.

[–] [email protected] 36 points 5 days ago

So the modern approach to healthcare is back to leeches and blood letting huh. Did not have that on my 2025 bingo card but in retrospect I really should have.
