OPEN THREAD: Disport yourselves.
MICE? WHY AREN’T WE TAKING SPERM SAMPLES FROM ASTRONAUTS ON LONG-TERM STAYS IN SPACE? Making babies beyond Earth? Spaceflight may not hinder sperm production, mouse study suggests. I mean, they’re there doing other research already.
LIKE BMI, THIS DOESN’T WORK FOR PEOPLE WITH A LOT OF LEAN MUSCLE BECAUSE IT’S BASED ON ASSUMPTIONS ABOUT BODYFAT: Your Neck Size Could Be a Signal For Hidden Health Problems.
A thick neck might project strength, like that of heavyweight boxers or rugby players, but studies suggest it could signal a concerning health issue.
BMI, which divides weight by height to estimate body fat, doesn’t always tell the complete story. A competitive bodybuilder might have a high BMI, but clearly isn’t obese. This is where neck circumference offers additional insight.
Research shows that people with larger necks relative to their body size face increased risks of several serious health conditions. The connection lies in what neck size reveals about fat distribution, particularly in the upper body.
Again, bodybuilders have big necks, but not much fat. Of course, maybe I’m just in denial because I have an 18.5″ neck.

In order to survive, an ideology that fails to reproduce itself must necessarily infect the minds of the children of those who do reproduce.
That’s why they push so hard to control education.

MORE ANTICOMMUNISM PLEASE: ‘Freedom’s Fury’: An Anti-Communist Documentary From Tarantino and Liu. “There’s a reason why the ‘blood in the water match’ is an ‘untold’ story. The political left, which is still putting up socialists for public office, does not like to remind people of the brutality of the old Soviet Union. It might offer a parallel to the crazy modern left in the West and warn people off of this evil pseudo-religion.”
Plus: “We told the Soviets we didn’t want to live a lie. We wanted to live a human life.”
The Left’s worst nightmare.
OF COURSE SHE WAS: The Knife and Axe Girl Was Right. “What the people in Whitehall and at No. 10 Downing Street should be asking is WHY 14-year-old girls feel the need to carry weapons. Why are they living in fear? We all know the answer, as, I am certain, do they. The government set Britain down this path and seems determined to continue, so it turns its wrath on the people they are there to defend.”

A REVIEW OF DAVID BARON’S NEW BOOK: The Long History of Life on Mars.
The book is The Martians, and it’s about America’s life-on-Mars craze in the late 19th Century. One difference between then and now, of course, is that we have explored Mars widely with machines — it’s the only planet we know currently inhabited solely by robots — and will soon be going there personally.
