Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is suing Johnson and Johnson, accusing the pharmaceutical company of failing to warn consumers about the risk of taking Tylenol while pregnant.
This lawsuit, the first of its kind from a state government, comes a month after President Donald Trump and U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. announced updated guidance discouraging pregnant women from taking acetaminophen, citing it as a possible cause of autism. The announcement set off a wave of controversy in the health care community, and confusion among pregnant women unsure how they should manage fever and pain during pregnancy.

There's a fair amount of publishing inside baseball here, but what stuck out at me was:
DSJ: Your work is mostly concerned with the past and the present, but what kind of futures do you see unfolding for the world?
TM: There was an extraordinary moment of international class coordination in the 1990s and early 2000s. Washington, Beijing, Moscow, and Brussels all agreed—despite their mounting geopolitical tensions—that they wanted their capitalists to get richer, that they no longer faced real threats from their working populations, and that they would help each other in the other great cause of the day, “counterterrorism,” which in practice meant killing and repressing Muslims the world over, whether in Xinjiang, Iraq, or Chechnya. Muslims were the ideal target for fine-tuning the emerging world order because they had no major power base of their own; their wealthiest members in the Gulf had no interest in upsetting the status quo. What is fascinating is how quickly this order broke down. One can point to cracks like the Iraq War, Putin’s 2007 Munich speech, the 2011 Libya intervention, or even further back to the Yugoslav wars, which Beijing and Moscow took to be a grisly preview of coming attractions.
Never genuinely threatened by “terrorism,” untroubled by rebellions of workers at home, the states superintending the 21st-century world economy found their hold on power jeopardized by the very success of the globalized capitalism whose ascendancy they oversaw, as powerful fractions of their ruling classes came to see themselves as unmoored from anything so constrictive as a national interest, however notional. Each state still believed it needed to enrich its elites—that was never in doubt—but there was a question now of which faction of the elite to enrich, and which to cast aside. Major purges were conducted in almost all the major states of the order. The purges were most drastic in China, where Xi in 2020–22 had to prove that the country would resist the liberal script of the business class overpowering the party. Putin conducted his purge more indirectly via the Ukraine war, which neatly separated out his capitalist loyalists from more Western-oriented capitalists in the upper strata around him. Trump, too, has done a purge, to the extent that one even can in the US, where capitalists, to a much greater degree, control the state. Trump had to confine his purge to the US bureaucracy; no major capitalists were threatened or fled the country (though the loyalty oaths extracted from the likes of Zuckerberg made for good television).
The other thing I see emerging is China developing a monopoly on state-backed science, especially climate science—one of Xi’s rumored successors when I was last in China was Chen Jining, the climate scientist who is now the party secretary of Shanghai—while the US will continue to excel in the carnival of recognition and continue to corner the market on identitarian innovation and mimetic desire. This is not a minor form of soft power, though it is one that the US itself barely understands. Meanwhile, the US has so thoroughly financialized itself that it has great difficulty producing basic military hardware, while it commits headlong to a kind of Green New Deal in reverse: the reorganization of its energy infrastructure and capital allocation in order to guarantee wealth transfers to investors in large language models, and to cover the shame of not having developed more socially beneficial innovations.
The last major rearrangement of global fortunes was the Second World War, the best thing—if you hadn’t died in it—that ever happened to American wage earners, and the best thing that ever happened for American technology. It’s doubtful that a war with China would result in a similar uplift, considering not only the obstacles to social mobilization on such a scale but the sheer amount of firepower that could be involved.
Portsmouth Daily Times: Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose announced on Tuesday that his office has referred 1,200 criminal cases to the United States Department of Justice for consideration of federal prosecution.

How does an offshore wind farm relate to health and human services in any way? Even if you believe the lie that the turbines cause cancer for people who live near them, these are offshore, so there shouldn’t be any health impact.
Senator Elizabeth Warren has called for an investigation into former Barclays CEO Jes Staley and “all current and former US banking executives who may have facilitated Jeffrey Epstein’s illicit conduct,” according to a letter seen by The Guardian.
Staley, who like the Democratic senator is from Massachusetts, was known as one of the chief financial enablers of Epstein, allowing the late sexual predator to continue his account with J.P. Morgan in the midst of his crimes coming to light. The New York Times called Staley Epstein’s “chief defender” at J.P. Morgan, processing billions of dollars for him even as Epstein’s abuse and trafficking crimes were public.
Warren also noted that Staley is already banned for life in the UK banking industry for his connections to Epstein, and referred to court documents suggesting that Staley told Epstein about the bank’s apprehension towards him (and his large cash withdrawals), allowing him to alter his approach so that his account wouldn’t raise further suspicion.
Warren has urged the Federal Reserve Board, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) to announce plans for an investigation by 7 November.
“It is critical to send a message to the public and current bank employees that this type of egregious misconduct has no place in the American banking system,” Warren wrote.
“Staley is not the only bank executive with concerning ties to Epstein. For example, according to Staley’s sworn deposition, he discussed Epstein with [J.P. Morgan] CEO Jamie Dimon on at least two occasions,” she continued. “The Fed, OCC and FDIC should investigate any other current or former banking executives who engaged in similar conduct to determine whether their conduct satisfies the legal standards for a ban on working in the banking industry and civil monetary penalties.... Any banking executives who facilitated the crimes of one of the world’s most notorious sex criminals should be held to account.”

There’s no realistic path forward for them to get an amendment passed to allow this. If they want a third term for his unholiness, they’ll need to violate the constitution even more blatantly than they already have been.
Of course, israeli prisoners/hostages are well treated, in the futile hope that israelis will have some empathy, and treat palestinians as they'd want to be treated. I hold for a fact that Israel wouldn't be able to do the horrors it does if the world was better informed(, the most important is to inform the israelis themselves, and i know that people here will claim that they all perfectly know, but i disagree). Mistakes are the root of evil. From vm.tiktok.com/ZNdcE3Fgc

Mahmoud Abu Foul, freed after the ceasefire, lost a leg in 2015, was kidnapped in Kamal Adwan hospital last december, and is now blind after the beatings and lack of medical treatment in israeli jails
I've learned that israelis seem to believe that the Palestinian Authority only have to desire a two-states solution to obtain it(, they don't realize that it's Israel who's blocking it !), at least that's what they said on the internet, pretending that they don't obtain it because of violence while reversing the cause&effect. If that's indeed the case(, as unbelievable as it seems), then breaking through their ignorance could benefit the palestinian fight. (Just a thought i wanted to share because it seemed worth it, /r/IsraelPalestine is disproportionately populated with pro-israelis if you have a few days to spend, i don't rule out the possibility that none were arguing in good faith because it remains an improbable conclusion on my part)
The ethnic cleansing of palestine was massively popular in the apartheid state, you can't try and lie and say that the genocide wasn't actively supported by the vast majority of Israeli society, the only ethnic group that displayed even an iota of hesitation or resistance was the arab jewish population. We are not buying you running cover for the zionists, Mr. liberal zionist. Death to "israel."
(I just saw your comment, sry for editing my previous one i didn't know 😬) Just know that it wasn’t my intention to defend Israel(, obviously?), i said that because it could benefit the palestinian cause.
I came on the subreddit mentioned to understand why they "needed" the west bank, and instead they insisted that it's the palestinians who want Israel despite the explicit demands of the 1967 borders, and pretended that it's the palestinian violence that prevents a two-states solution, the YT channel mentioned in the selftext kinda confirm that the situation is perceived in a weird way by the israelis. I recognize that it's an overly strange conclusion, i'm doubting myself. Surveys show that 80% of israelis consider themselves the victims in this conflict, so i.d.k., perhaps more israelis don't understand the situation that we may think. Look at how they speak about security while it's their colonization of the West Bank and refusal of the Oslo accords that provoke more attacks ?
It's not impossible that a palestinian operation could be to send a document in each of their mailbox explaining more clearly that the attacks will continue to happen as long as Israel refuses a palestinian state along the 1967 borders with East-Jerusalem, and more explanations. They probably wouldn't be able to do this more than once, but at least afterwards israelis won't ever have the excuse of not understanding what's happening, and that Israel is responsible for Hamas&palestinians attacks.
But yeah, unironically, stay cautious about the presence of zionists bots/people on the net, like i can't understand why that popular french account(, banned in the past, obv. by the authorities who else,) has an almost unanimity of comments opposing him, if you look at his posts with dozen of comments, that kind of weird example. I can't prove anything but these millions/billions spent ought to go somewhere.
(now i'm searching for surveys proving their brainwashing, but it's probably not necessary) (Netanyahu won in 2019, promising to annex the jordan valley, which is 30% of the west bank, meanwhile israelis somehow believe to be the victims, and that there's nothing they can do, or that it's a convenient question of irrecoverable trust(, instead of security measures), it's so weird/unbelievable)
They don't care about quality, as we have already seen multiple times, and such companies don't care about working conditions, as we can see everywhere in the world.

A KGB spy and a CIA agent meet up in a bar in Berlin for a friendly drink
CIA Agent says: Why do you like Russia so much? You have no freedom. In the USA, you can stand in front of the White House in Washington, DC, and yell, "Down with Ronald Reagan", and you will not be punished.
KGB Agent smiles and shakes his head: Nonsense, you can also stand in Red Square in Moscow and yell, "Down with Ronald Reagan", and you will not be punished, either.
You know those obnoxious social media accounts that flood your messages with spam? Those might not be scammers after all, but a legitimate new business backed by one of the most powerful venture capital funds in Silicon Valley.
Introducing Doublespeed, a startup operating a phone farm to flood social media with AI-generated slop on behalf of its clients. In a nutshell, phone farming is a tactic most often used by hackers and financial criminals to use large numbers of devices to send spam texts, farm social media engagement, or generate fake reviews.
On its website, the fledgling company bills itself as a “bulk content creation” service. Basically, it lets customers “orchestrate actions on thousands of social accounts through both bulk content creation and deployment.” It does this through “instrumented human action,” a fancy phrase meaning the company’s phone bots will somehow mimic “natural user interaction on physical devices to get our content to appear human to the algorithims [sic].”
In a post on X-formerly-Twitter, Doublespeed co-founder Zuhair Lakhani even boasts that they used AI to write the company’s code. “Claude code is truly our third cofounder,” he wrote.
The whole thing is backed by a $1 million cash injection from a16z, also known as Andreessen Horowitz, the venture capitalist firm founded by Marc Andreessen and Ben Horowitz back in 2009.
Doublespeed clients can expect to pay anywhere between $1,500 and $7,500 a month for access to its phone farm.
I've been enjoying playing Luanti (formerly Minetest), so I decided to create my own server to play and chat with friends, use downloaded mods, and generally enjoy the process, like in Minecraft. However, I'm having a hard time setting up the server.
I tested programs such as Hamachi, playit.gg, and FreeDNS Update, but they didn't work. I also don't know how or where to create a domain for my server. When I started the server, an error message appeared that said, "Connection timeout has expired."
I have a Windows 11 laptop with good RAM and a hotspot on an Android tablet.
Hosting on a mobile connection (3G/4G/5G) is very hard, as nearly all of them have a CGNAT that prevents outside access to your server. You could in theory set up a VPN with Wireguard or something like Tailscale, but that is not so easy.
If that is all you have, I recommend renting a VPS somewhere instead.
Yes, I understand. I don't have a VPS or a Wi-Fi router, sorry. But if I get or have a VPS on my laptop, would that work? Or is there another way to access it without a VPS?
I think you mean a VPN (sorry those abbreviations are a bit confusing). Most consumer VPNs are not mean to host things. So you need to either set up a fully private one only between you and your friends (with Wireguard or similar), basically what Hamachi does, but more modern, or you need to get something like Tailscale that is specifically meant for exposing your server behind a CGNAT.
But the free tier of Tailscale will likely be insufficient, and once you pay, you might as well pay for a cloud server (VPS) and host the Luanti server there 24/7.
Countries that signed the Paris agreement are required to update their plans every five years. A U.N. report shows a limited picture and thus, limited progress.
Brave Software, the company behind the browser of the same name, was founded by Brendan Eich. He's best known as the creator of JavaScript from his days at Netscape Communications, and he was later the co-founder of Mozilla. He remained at Mozilla Foundation and its for-profit segment, Mozilla Corporation, well into the 2000s. In 2014, he was appointed as CEO of Mozilla Corporation, which immediately caused backlash from at least a few people inside Mozilla and many people outside the organization.
Why was appointing Eich as CEO so controversial? It's because he donated $1,000 in support of California's Proposition 8 in 2008, which was a proposed amendment to California's state constitution to ban same-sex marriage. Eich wrote a blog post defending himself in 2012, when the donation was initially discovered, where did not apologize and denied the donation made him a bigot:
Here's a bonus fun fact: one of those early investors was Founders Fund, which is operated by billionaire Peter Thiel. He's a regular campaign donor to far-right political candidates, and said in an essay that "I no longer think that freedom and democracy are compatible." He also keeps funding libertarian “seasteading” ships designed to function as independent cities in international waters (think BioShock), all of which have failed miserably.
Brave was also caught up in a privacy scandal in 2020, when it was revealed that the browser was adding affiliate codes to some URLs typed into the address bar. For example, typing in “binance.us” would add Brave’s affiliate link to the end, allowing Brave Software to collect revenue from signups or purchases. An official blog post called that “a mistake,” and the functionality was later turned off. That should have been enough to swear off Brave as a privacy-centric browser forever, considering the entire point of affiliate links is to collect data about the user and traffic source. For example, when you click an Amazon affiliate link in a web article, the publisher can see the exact products you purchase in the timeframe the tracking cookie remains active (which is currently 24 hours).
GrapheneOS devs recommend against Firefox Android on security grounds. They of course have their own modified Chrome. Do you know of any decent chromium based options for privacy? All the projects I used to use died.

metodo femcellico per piangere di meno stando a lettino da sola ma per un pochino quasi no…
Stanotte, o stamattina, a seconda di come si vuole vederla, tra il sonno e la veglia, abbastanza per caso, ho scoperto un completamente nuovo meta da femcel, che è tipo… caspita, ma come ho fatto a non pensarci prima? Ed altro non sto parlando che del fare handholding in single player, ma con una delle due mani addormentata…così che si abbia l’impressione che si sta tenendo la mano ad un’altra persona (seppur una mano sospettosamente poco schifosa, non sudata, alla stessa temperatura dell’altra, eccetera…), e quindi magari che si stia dormendo con un’altra persona, e quindi boh, varie cose… ☺️😚🥰😍
Ed è geniale per quanto è scema, questa roba. So che non ho in realtà scoperto nulla io, perché gente con anche meno fantasia di me racconterà proprio questa come tecnica utile per fare cose brutte con una fantasia diversa… non mi è affatto chiaro come, a causa delle difficoltà proprio tecniche che questa procedura nasconde, ma convinti i gooner contenti tutti. L’idea base è di applicare una minima pressione sul braccio — per esempio, stando a letto, tenendolo giusto sotto il lato del corpo, o altrimenti sotto il cuscino, boh — giusto abbastanza perché si addormenti… o, come dicono gli scienziati, perché si verifichi il fenomeno della parestesia, nello specifico parestesia transitoria (cioè, causata dallo stare in una posizione “scorretta”, non a fattori cronici); buono sapere il nome reale, e anche che che il tutto è causato non dal blocco dell’afflusso di sangue, bensì dalla semplice compressione di nervi, cosa che a volte va insieme alla prima, ma non sempre… e quindi in realtà non ci sarebbero pericoli quando contemporaneamente non si sta anche bloccando l’afflusso di ossigeno ai tessuti (cosa che avviene stando troppo sul trono idraulico, per dire, ma non tanto col braccio sotto un cuscino). Poi si addormenta anche la mano, e gnam. 😇
Stranamente, stanotte mi è capitato a sorpresa nel secondo modo, cioè sotto al cuscino… ma non il cuscino su cui tengo la testa, bensì il secondo a cui mi appoggio o abbraccio e così via… cioè, è bastata la pressione del cuscino incastonato tra le lenzuola strette e l’altro cuscino, per farmi addormentare il braccio, wow. Me ne sono accorta in un momento in cui mi sono svegliata (prima della sveglia, quindi avevo ancora tempo di marcire a letto, e giustamente così ho fatto!!!), stavo cercando di rigirarmi, e muovendo una mano ho trovato l’altra che spuntava fuori, che però appunto non percepivo più, e lì viene il bello. (O il brutto, per chi si fa prendere dalla paura che magari uno spirito maligno possa essersi materializzato sotto forma di una mano estranea e inserito nel proprio letto per fare cose bruttissime…) ✋
Chiaramente, ciò è non altro che la fiera del coping, eppure rimane una sensazione particolare tenere così la manina, secondo me… La mente (temo anche inconsciamente, purtroppo) sa si bene che non si sta tenendo la mano ad una persona esterna, però la fantasia è sempre pericolosamente potente e, se si riesce per un attimo a fare finta, per quell’attimo si può solo apprezzare, suppongo… e quindi ohh, in realtà non sono colpita da alcuna maledizione per cui devo rimanere da sola per la mia intera esistenza, e anzi mi sto intensamente tenendo la manina con qualcuno??? Assurdo per me. Una cosa da tenere a mente in realtà, quando ci si accorge di avere la sensibilità inibita, finché non subentra la sensazione di formicolio, è di non muoversi subito, così la sensazione di manine può durare anche minuti, anziché pochi miseri secondi, cosa di cui avrei decisamente bisogno, oohh come sono romantica… 😭 Peccato che non ho avuto modo di provare la cosa proprio per bene perché, nella casualità della scoperta, un po’ ho sbagliato, ci ho voluto riprovare ma un po’ mi sono riaddormentata quando non dovevo, visto che la procedura richiede minuti interi, un po’ poi è effettivamente suonata la sveglia, e allora pazienza…sarà per la prossima volta. (…Probabilmente su WikiHow ci saranno trucchi segreti per fare questa cosa più efficientemente, ma nel letto al buio non potevo mettermi a cercare su Internet… cercherò prima di stanotte.) Però oh, mannaggia alla merda e fuck my stupid shitty rotted femcel life, che sono e sarò costretta a pensare questo tipo di cose fino alla mia morte, poiché non interesso particolarmente a nessuna persona fisicamente esistente, e allora posso solo vivere nell’irrealtà. 💔
