Can we just be explicit about what universities are doing that is irritating the M@g@ followers so much:

We are β€œblatantly indoctrinating students” in the use of scientific findings to support their rationale and shape their thought process.

the kimmel thing is bad but as long as they arent rounding people up indiscriminately based on race, building concentration camps and talking about eradicating those they deem sexual deviants, i think we’ll be ok

Remember when Mufasa was ruling the pridelands and everything was amazing and happy and then Scar took over and immediately turned it into a wasteland where everyone was poor and starving?

Just wondering...

I can’t help thinking that if the president were a woman, the judiciary wouldn’t be quite so fond of deference to the executive.

Stay tuned. More to come.

Judge Young ruled narrowly today since he did not have time to justify broader rulings. But I don't think he has any uncertainty about where the law and justice fall on these cases.

After ruling, with anger in his voice, Judge Young:

"This represents racial discrimination. And discrimination against America's LGBTQ community. That's what this is. I would be blind not to call it out. My duty is to call it out. And I do so."

Sad that you missed out on #SAA2025 or unsure if you will be able to travel to Vienna for #SAA2026? We will offer an online participation option that will allow you to present live (in oral sessions) and interact with on-site participants in the sessions.

Over 500k veterans and 2½︎ million senior citizens rely on Meals on Wheels.

The program costs around $3.7M and comes from taxpayer’s money.

His $92M North Korean style military vanity birthday parade could fund Meals on Wheels for nearly 30 years.

To build may have to be the slow and laborious task of years. To destroy can be the thoughtless act of a single day.

Sex Redefined: The Idea of 2 Sexes Is Overly Simplistic Biologists now think there is a larger spectrum than just binary female and male

My husband has taught human reproduction and development to the Cambridge medics for over three decades. When people start banging on about "only two biological sexes" he starts with "which sex: genetic, hormonal, or gonadal"?

Biological sex is not binary. www.scientificamerican.com/article/sex-...

Women, minorities fired in purge of NIH science review boards Scientists, with expertise in fields that include mental health, cancer and infectious disease, typically serve five-year terms and were not given a reason for their dismissal.

Thirty-eight of 43 experts cut last month from the boards that review the science and research that happens in laboratories at the National Institutes of Health are female, Black or Hispanic, according to an analysis by the chairs of a dozen of the boards.

In short, if you had to choose between saving lives and improving human life or locking people up because they don’t look like you, the administration has chosen the torture and degrade option.

So anyway, this idea that chromosomes and hormones match to a body that is the right body for a specific sports category is deeply unhinged and wildly disconnected from the fact that there is wide genetic diversity within assigned genders and trans girls do not magically uniquely have any advantages

Wait, NIH, which kind of research did you say was "often unscientific," with "little identifiable return on investment," "do nothing to enhance the health of many Americans," "ignore, rather than seriously examine, biological realities."

Judith Butler, philosopher: β€˜If you sacrifice a minority like trans people, you are operating within a fascist logic’ A leading figure in feminism and gender studies, the thinker welcomes EL PAÍS in California after being voted one of the most influential minds in the world

Judith Butler: "Once you decide that a single vulnerable minority can be sacrificed, you’re operating within a fascist logic, because that means there might be a second one you’re willing to sacrifice, and a third, a fourth, and then what happens?"
