U.S. Catholic bishops double down on anti-trans policies in new hospital rules The USCCB’s updated health directives ban gender-affirming care and ignore medical experts, leaving trans patients with even fewer options

You mentioned that it seems like something no one is talking about, but Hemant was on this in November. www.friendlyatheist.com/p/us-catholi...

You know how spiders all have different venoms and mouthparts on a similar body plan? Snakes are that way too. They even have regional venom variants. Some snake species are xy and some are zw, which makes parthenogenesis interesting. Eggs vs live birth is quite the spectrum as well.

As someone who has experience with a BI subcontractor, I can't say I'm particularly surprised. You really only need one dishonest/apathetic person in the chain for there to be an issue.

Anyone allowing a cat to roam in NZ is an asshat.

This AP article does a better job mentioning this. It talks about how she shelter is overwhelmed, but this could have been avoided if they just delivered the birds. apnews.com/article/usps...

Carrying capacity is real, regardless of what idealistic fantasy a lot of people have about wildlife management.

Well, I felt an awkward sense of gender parity listening to the ads. There was a menopause drug ad followed by a low T add. Yay equality?
