Offered with apologies to those for whom this discussion, when posted on CR’s LBGTQ’s thread, was a beating. Will now post news about the politicization of science on this thread.
The peer reviews of the politically biased Cass Review are being released, and the experts are pissing on its methodological flaws and unsupported claims.

Your Indian neighbors are likely driven crazy at the thought of somebody wearing shoes inside their home. I wasn’t aware of that dynamic until I saw the comedy, Mo.
The actual quote, which is found in Franklin’s notebook at the National Archives and Museum of American history, employs the phrase “… who the enemy is.”

While I get exercised about folks denigrating the expertise of those who have earned the right to be called experts, especially when the denigrator can’t explain what they are talking about, I absolutely understand the imperative of minding one’s own business. And, despite my brother’s family having a direct connection to this particular issue, it is none of my business, other than deciding whether to be supportive, to be a shit heel, or to totally disengage. Which is being a shit heel, too.

Four hornet jets lost in a little over a month. That Biden hangover has legs.
Give it to republicans, they have yet to meet the length they can’t throat.
Ana’s position is that the medical establishment in this country was relying on junk science. Such a position follows along with the wing nut right’s, and also Putin’s bot army’s, goal of sowing doubt about the institutions in the USA. He threw down the Cass Review, which was not peer reviewed.
The larger issue is the normalization of politics masquerading as science. Look to the Texas state bill which would outlaw mRNA based vaccines. Look at the decimation of the NIH and it’s funding of research.
