DOMESTICATING FOXES: No no no no no. This is not a post about gorgeous women washing dirty dishes. So don’t start a social justice warrior tweet storm. This BBC article is about a Russian institute that has domesticated wild foxes…the animal…the one Brits in red suits on horses chase… I am not talking high-energy knockouts, OK?… Anyway, the biologist who began the experiment wanted to answer this question: “How did human beings domesticate animals, like the dog and the cat?” Read the whole thing.

TONI AIRAKSINEN: How the Feminist Silence on False Rape Accusations Hurts Everyone. “Even when women victimize men by making false allegations of violence, the media still protects them. Feminists, in their quest for rape to be treated seriously, are doing their anti-rape cause (and their credibility) a complete disservice by refusing to recognize that some women do fabricate claims. And everyone — men, women, and real victims — suffers.”

NOW ON SSRN: My paper for the Cato Supreme Court Review on the Supreme Court’s next term. I discuss leading cases pending, some cases not taken (like the New York / Connecticut gun-control laws), the possibly-disastrous effect of Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s comments on Donald Trump should there be a disputed election result, and the diminishing role of the Supreme Court in relation to lower courts. Download it early and often!

Here’s an excerpt from my Ginsburg/Trump discussion:

The comments were injudicious, and though they are unlikely to become relevant in the coming term, should they in fact matter – because of a contested election, with the nation closely divided – her recusal, or worse, her refusal to recuse herself, would undoubtedly have explosive results, both for the nation and for the Court itself, an institution that depends on public regard and that has been growing less popular already in recent years. The comments are an iceberg that most likely will never meet its Titanic, but worth noting here because, should that meeting come to pass, the results would surely be the most significant event of the coming term.

Looking somewhat more likely now than last month.

SCIENCE: Study results advance ‘transposon theory of aging.’ “Transposons are rogue elements of DNA that break free in aging cells and rewrite themselves elsewhere in the genome, potentially creating lifespan-shortening chaos in the genetic makeups of tissues. As cells get older, prior studies have shown, tightly wound heterochromatin wrapping that typically imprisons transposons becomes looser, allowing them to slip out of their positions in chromosomes and move to new ones, disrupting normal cell function. Meanwhile, scientists have shown that potentially related interventions, such as restricting calories or manipulating certain genes, can demonstrably lengthen lifespans in laboratory animals.”
