#JOURNALISM IN THE TRADITION OF WALTER DURANTY:

The reason the antisemitic @NickKristof column got through the NYT publishing process is because the NYT is filled with antisemites.

Their coverage of everything involving Israel, which for them is everything because Jew-hatred is pathological, is done by the same people. https://t.co/EC41tciUfJ

CHANGE: Supreme Court Clears Way for Alabama Redistricting Effort Ahead of Midterms.

THIS REMOVES THE WHOLE POINT FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE: No Drinks At Sea? The New Crackdown On Cruise Ships. “Vacationers were not thrilled to hear the news.”

Ya think? It seems to me like the Bahamas are going out of their way to be less hospitable lately.

BUT WILL THE JUDICIARIES BE SMART ENOUGH TO DECLARE BACK? Hakeem Jeffries Declares War on Every Judiciary in the Country. “The defenders of Democracy™ and Norms™ are in full Banana Republic mode.”

JOHN LUCAS: Enough Already!

Personally, I think jerking the Iranians around with negotiations that never go anywhere is fair turnabout.

PEOPLE WHO ARE POCKETING THE CASH USUALLY ARE: Northwestern’s President Says He’s ‘Positive About the Relationship’ Between the University and Hamas-Friendly Qatar.

REALCLEARWORLD: Victory or Defeat, Iranian Old Regime’s Fate is Sealed.

TEMPERAMENT.

“Don’t pour a pot of boiling potatoes on your spouse’s head” is a single sex neutral standard of conduct that virtually all seekers of high office of both sexes manage to meet, and that no man would be able to continue running for governor having failed to meet https://t.co/jvtKCWkrFL

CHANGE:

Men are actually more likely to "sexually expire" in the eyes of their wives than vice versa.

Only 20% of women still want to have sex often once a relationship hits the 90-month mark, whereas men's desire for intimacy remains remarkably stable over time. pic.twitter.com/VHUxOgCDMI

WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE: You Too Can Have a Fire Team Leader Gun.

PROBABLY KINDA CORRODED: The mangled remains of probes sent to Venus may still be there.

THE EVIDENCE IS PRETTY SOLID IN FAVOR: Is testosterone therapy safe and effective? What we know. I love this:

Testosterone’s reputation has had its ups and downs since the hormone was first synthesized in the 1930s. After an initial golden period, in which it was described as “one of the most potent drugs recently introduced to medicine,” the therapy fell out of favour for fear that it could cause cancer. This idea originated from the work of urologist Charles Huggins who, in 1941, found that prostate cancer depends on testosterone and that lowering the hormone levels caused tumours to shrink. It was a groundbreaking discovery for which he was awarded a share in the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1966.

Morgentaler says that when he was training as a urologist in the 1980s, there was a widespread belief, based on Huggins’s findings, that testosterone therapy could promote prostate cancer. Despite the presumed risks, he says he still thought that the hormone could help some of his patients who had low testosterone and sexual problems. So, he started treating them while monitoring them closely.

They didn’t get cancer, Morgentaler says, and they benefited from the treatment greatly. Some of his clinical findings — along with the revelation that Huggins’s most dire warnings about the hormone causing cancer were based on observations of a single person — helped to clear the way for renewed interest in testosterone therapy.

Sample size: One. So much received medical wisdom comes from this sort of thing.

TECH REVOLUTION?

AI is going to destroy what they've carefully built out of sight for decades.

You have be able to SEE the Beast to kill it.

They'd figured they'd made it so massive, so hard to track, nobody could ever attempt it.

We're going to do it. https://t.co/qGHeG55not
