WE’VE KNOWN THIS FOR DECADES: Randomized Trial Finds Circumcised Men Are Less Likely to Get HIV. “Previous research has shown male circumcision is associated with lower rates of several sexually transmitted infections, including syphilis and chancroid. Studies also suggest heterosexual men who are circumcised face a lower risk of contracting HIV.”

DOC SEARLS: The People’s AI. “People need their own AIs. Personally and collectively. We won’t get them from Anthropic, Apple, Google, OpenAI, Meta, or Microsoft. Not even from Apple. All those companies will want to provide AIaaS: AI as a Service, rather than AI that’s yours alone. Or ours, collectively.”

He is responsible for advancing mountains of fraud, carnage, negligence, and suffering.

YES. NEXT QUESTION? Is There a Racial Component to the Recent Controversy Involving Caitlin Clark? “The WNBA is finally getting eyeballs, and what we see is a bunch of nasty women brutalizing Caitlin Clark because this is what predictably happens concerning women in the workforce. Whether it be on the court or in corporate America, it’s women bullying other women that breeds actual toxicity. Clark was the first overall pick. She’s starting to play better on a very bad and rebuilding Indiana Fever team. She’s doing her job, but the rest of the league seems to have a bounty on her. Clark won’t break and probably will soak up the intense scrutiny surrounding her impact on the sport, but Saturday’s game against the Chicago Sky bred new controversy. Clark got body-checked hard by Sky guard Chennedy Carter, who could be seen mouthing ‘bitch’ before laying into her. . . . Women basketball players have whined for years that they don’t get their attention. It’s here, ladies, and you’re about to blow it. And, of course, there’s a racial component to this that’s nasty as well. If Clark were black and being assaulted on the court by a bunch of white players, it would be more of a story. It is getting media attention, but half of it is begrudgingly so. The usual lefty writers, who can’t stand that the WNBA is getting more popular because a white, non-lesbian is the marquee player, will pen the usual thought pieces about how Clark’s rise is white privilege reloaded. We’ve seen that already, but these antics are ridiculous. Even Charles Barkley had to call out these whiny, jealous women in the league.”

Hating the only player in thirty years to make people care about your league is next level dumb for WNBA players. Honest question has there been a rookie hated like this in men’s sports? I can’t think of one in my life. https://t.co/77f5CizCRa

GOOD ADVICE: Chicago 911 Chief: Buy A Gun. “In Chicago, at least half the time there are no police officers available to respond to 911 calls for help – not even the highest priority calls like stabbings, domestics, rapes, gunshot victims and so forth. Not even for a triple homicide. In August 2022, it took police 20 minutes to arrive at the scene of a triple homicide with two more victims critically injured and a suspect nearby.”
INSURRECTION: Anti-Israel protesters burn UC Berkeley police vehicle with ‘incendiary device’ in ‘retaliation’ for arrests. Have you noticed that MAGA people don’t “retaliate” for arrests?
THEY NEED TO PAY MORE: Don Surber: The Media Pays for Getting Trump Wrong. “Two stories broke on Monday that are intertwined. One is the realization by liberals that President Trump may win by a landslide because of the kangaroo courts of New York. . . . The other story is the Sunday night massacre at the Washington Post — the firing of its editor — which sent shockwaves through the credentialed media, which only goes to show how out of touch the media is.”

IT USED TO BE A CRAZED RIGHT-WING CONSPIRACY THEORY. NOW IT’S IN THE NEW YORK TIMES: Why the Pandemic Probably Started in a Lab, in 5 Key Points. “The year before the outbreak, the Wuhan institute, working with U.S. partners, had proposed creating viruses with SARS‑CoV‑2’s defining feature.”
Plus: “Given what we now know, investigators should follow their strongest leads and subpoena all exchanges between the Wuhan scientists and their international partners, including unpublished research proposals, manuscripts, data and commercial orders. In particular, exchanges from 2018 and 2019 — the critical two years before the emergence of Covid-19 — are very likely to be illuminating (and require no cooperation from the Chinese government to acquire), yet they remain beyond the public’s view more than four years after the pandemic began.”
We’re getting a modified limited hangout now, but they’re still covering up the worst stuff.
