I'd forgotten how hilarious this is. Seriously.

We here at the Council take ourselves very seriously. That's why we collect the mean tweets we receive and turn them into funny videos. @JoshBloomACSH and @adolaskie we're especially good here. 👍 Mean Tweets - ACSH Edition youtu.be/Znk6h-AGEIM?si=UZ1p… via @YouTube

Pretty face “plausible” come on = Bunch of suckers - $$$. Elementary algebra.

It's a cult. This is the same thing the phony "faith healers" do. "God didn't cure your cancer? Well, you gotta believe harder." Evil.

Damn good thing or I would have taken a dirt nap 30 years ago.

It's OK to drink a diet coke, according to science.

Chuckie knows all about Alzheimer’s because one of his colleagues might have it. But I can’t remember which one.

Can you pronounce “duh?”
Classic! One of the @thefoodbabe's greatest hits.

You’d have to rewrite the Constitution so that 5 electoral votes can win.
Suggestion: members of Congress must pass a science literacy test before they can comment on chemistry.

Maybe RFK will try a poison ivy salad. Quite delicious!

Natural is...safer? No, not even a little bit. There's a long list of all-natural toxins that will kill you dead. Our video reporter @adolaskie gives 5 examples of mother nature causing death, organ failure, hallucinations and much more!🪦

They do teach logic. Math too: BS fear billable hours = Mercedes.

They must not teach logic in law school. If you think vaccines cause autism, *you* supply the evidence for that causal relationship. No study so far has uncovered any compelling data. Glad we could clear that up. 👍

About a year ago, RFK took his family for a swim in Rock Creek, which is essentially a sewer. Let's celebrate with a twisted version of American Pie. acsh.org/news/2025/05/19/ame…

Not a single word of this post is correct. The studies behind these claims are bad—awful even. Just another scary story, another distraction from making healthier decisions. More here: Ultra-Processed Panic: From Data to Drama in 100 Words acsh.org/news/2026/03/06/ult…

Do you mean HAHA (Humor America’s Headcase Again)?

🤔Fun fact: Pesticides today are often *less toxic* than the chemicals that came before. We bet MAHA didn't tell you that. Medical toxicologist @DrLizaMD explains on our Science Dispatch podcast. Full episode in next tweet. ⬇️

When Joe says something, pay attention. He knows what he's talking about.

Is the world’s most popular weed killer, glyphosate, secretly giving us cancer? Media and lawsuits say yes. Chemist Dr @joeschwarcz of @McGillOSS says…relax. Let’s put the panic in perspective. A short. 🧵

No need for panic, but a healthy dose of organic chemistry-inspired fear would be wise in this instance.

🚨 Garden Grove, CA, is not East Palestine, Ohio — and the chemistry proves it. Another chemical accident is unfolding with a tank of methyl methacrylate (MMA) at risk of runaway reaction. Headlines are scary, but let's cut through the panic.🧵
