“Shadows, Ponte Dei Carmini” — Light and shadows on buildings at the Ponte Dei Carmini, Venice.

This photograph from Venice embodies many of the features that I expect to see in that part of the world. The Southern European light? Yes. Wrought iron work? Check. Earth tone colors on the buildings? Indeed. Narrow walkways? For sure. Of course, the venetian-style canals — not visible in this photo — are not quite so ubiquitous…continues: gdanmitchell.com/2025/09/27/sh…

Trump will Militär nach Portland schicken

US-Präsident Trump will Soldaten in die liberale US-Metropole Portland schicken. Grund seien Belagerungen von Einrichtungen der Einwanderungsbehörde ICE. Die Stadt sei "vom Krieg zerstört", so der Republikaner.

Paracetamol use during pregnancy not linked to autism, our study of 2.5 million children shows

United States President Donald Trump recently claimed that using the common painkiller acetaminophen (also known as paracetamol and by the brand name Tylenol in the US) during pregnancy is fuelling the rise in autism diagnoses. He then went on to suggest pregnant women should “tough it out” rather than use the common painkiller if they experience fever or pain.

This announcement has caused alarm and confusion worldwide. But despite Trump’s claim, there is no strong scientific evidence to back it up. Our study of nearly 2.5 million births in Sweden published in 2024 shows no evidence that acetaminophen use during pregnancy increases a child’s risk of autism. This is the largest study conducted on the subject to date.

To understand whether acetaminophen really poses a risk in pregnancy, we turned to Sweden’s national health registers, which are among the most comprehensive in the world. Our study followed nearly 2.5 million children born between 1995 and 2019, tracking them for up to 26 years.

Using prescription records and interviews that midwives conducted during prenatal visits, we could see which mothers reported using acetaminophen (about 7.5% of pregnancies) and which did not.

We also made sure to account for any variables that may have affected the results of our statistical analysis – including controlling for health factors, such as fever or pain, which would have influenced whether or not a mother used acetaminophen during her pregnancy. This was to ensure a more fair comparison between the two groups.

We then looked at the children’s neurodevelopmental outcomes – specifically whether they were diagnosed with autism, ADHD or an intellectual disability.

The real strength of our study came from being able to compare siblings. This allowed us to compare children born to the same mother, where acetaminophen had been used during one child’s pregnancy but not the other. We compared over 45,000 sibling pairs, where at least one sibling had an autism diagnosis.

This sibling design is powerful because siblings share much of their genetics and family environment. This allows us to tease apart whether the drug itself – rather than underlying family traits or health conditions – is responsible for any apparent risks for neurodevelopmental outcomes.

California’s Governor should sign S.B. 7,
a common-sense bill to end some of the harshest consequences of automated abuseat work.
EFF is proud to join dozens of labor, digital rights, and other advocates in support of the
“No Robo Bosses Act.”
Algorithmic decision-making is a growing threat to workers.
Bosses are using AI to assess the body language and voice tone of job candidates.
They’re using algorithms to predict when employees are organizing a union or planning to quit.
They’re automating choices about who gets fired.
And these employment algorithms often discriminate based on gender, race, and other protected statuses.
Fortunately, many advocates are resisting.

The funerary monument of Laura Vigo, located in the Monumental Cemetery of Staglieno in Genoa, Italy 🇮🇹

In memory of Laura Vigo who died at the age of nine, the monument by the sculptor Pietro Canonica was completed in 1908.

The monument depicts a babygirl leaning on the circle and seems to hear the words whispered by the three angels outlined in the background in the bas-relief.

The verses in the plaque are taken from a poem by Giosuè Carducci “Funere mersit acrerbo”. Monumental Cemetery of Torino.

The base of the monument often has offerings left by visitors, such as toys and flowers, as seen in the image.

The problem is more that the 50-year plutocratic project to debilitate the labour movement has worked. Labour had hitherto always led the resistance.

Unexpected Critics of Trump’s Attacks on Wind Energy: Oil Executives


Business leaders and trade organizations have been especially worried by attempts to stop work on wind farms that had already secured federal approval.


What they're afraid of is the broad realization that climate stabilization requires leaving deposits they've already started extracting in the ground. Shutting down already-in-progress projects is something which makes that politically easier going forward.
