ONE MORE REASON “SCIENTISTS” SHOULDN’T MAKE PUBLIC POLICY:  Scientists call for lowering drunk driving threshold.

WHAT FRESH HELL IS THIS?  Having a child out of wedlock is the norm for women in their 40s.

IT CAN’T BE TRUE! AL GORE SAID THERE WOULD BE NO MORE SNOW BY NOW.  THE WEATHER SUFFERS FROM FALSE CONSCIOUSNESS!  Half of US soil covered in snow at the same time.

THE REVIEWER OBVIOUSLY DOESN’T HAVE ANY CLUE WHAT A COUNTRY WITH NO LEGAL ABORTION IS LIKE:  I do. I grew up in one. And while it was a dystopia in some ways, it wasn’t because of that.  What abortion being illegal achieved, is that only the truly desperate would pay nurses/doctors to do it, and that doctors were very, very careful to make sure it didn’t go wrong, and they weren’t caught.  You could say it made it safe and rare. Yes, of course there were problems, but there are problems (many) with the current system too.  However apparently some people swallowed whole the coat hanger canards and can’t imagine anything worse than a world without Kermit Gosnells and baby parts a-go-go.  So this nonsense feels eerily real to people who couldn’t find “real” with two hands and a seeing eye dog.  ‘Red Clocks’ imagines a world where abortion is outlawed. And it feels eerily real.

SO WE HAD A FLOOD AT THE LAW SCHOOL TODAY, with a burst pipe in the sprinkler system. Almost half the faculty had our offices flooded. What was really amazing is that some students (led by a Marine) got on a group text and organized to do damage-mitigation almost instantly. I was in class, and by the time I got out and found out what happened, they had already gotten my computer, other electronics, and various obviously important books and paper out of my office, and a bunch of them, barefoot and with their pants rolled up, were doing the same in other offices. Nobody had to ask them to do it, they just organized themselves. If you wonder why I think UT Law is a special place, this is an example.

CLAIM: Sauna Session May Be As Good As Exercise For The Heart. “Relaxing in a hot sauna may not only feel good — it might affect your heart and blood vessels in ways that are similar to moderate exercise. That’s the finding of a new study that tested the effects of a 30-minute sauna session. The researchers say their results may help explain why people who regularly use saunas tend to have a decreased risk for heart disease and even dementia.”
