The notes are on the back of their lottery ticket from last week.

From a lawyer friend who’s had to appear before the judge Jussie Smollett got, they made sure he got a very police friendly, racist (but within legal boundaries) judge.

A lot of the people who are still “doing their own research” overlap in a near perfect circle with people who like to say “but it only kills old and unhealthy people,” while they themselves are either over 50, unhealthy or both. 99% of those people probably also genuinely believe that guns, Republican Jesus and owning…

I think there should be degrees. I know the camera man - don’t know his name, not going to learn it, Ahmaud Arbery is the only name that matters to me - got convicted on fewer charges overall, but one that he did get convicted of was murder. He absolutely needs to be in jail for the involvement he did have, but I…

I do think intent should be considered. Someone giving their crazy cousin a ride and unknowingly picking him up from the scene of a bank robbery is a different case than the person who doesn’t pull the trigger at a robbery but knows they’re driving the triggerman away.

I’m sympathetic to his case, especially since he died for it. I do think death penalties should be off the table for this reason - he may have deserved punishment but not death.

I have a feeling someone is literally going to have to die to get reasonable abortion laws. I can’t remember her name, but the reason Ireland has legal abortion is because a pregnant woman who was in a situation where she needed an abortion to save her life died because the doctors were prohibited from performing a…

41 is so ridiculously young, and it’s only underscored by how far he got in the time he did have.

Agreed. Trans women who have gone through puberty with male levels of testosterone retain a physical advantage in athletics, even after hormone therapy, though performance in some areas declines to the same level as cis women.

Fantastic - so you finally understand that trans women have performance declines bringing certain areas in line with cis women, while also maintaining an overall physical advantage due to overall larger size in bones and muscles due to male normal levels of testosterone during puberty. Glad we could clear up exactly…

Same. I refuse to believe this man never had a weekend, or someone who he could have called to take him to a pharmacy after work. Even on the South Side, there are pharmacies open 24 hours, and the ones that aren’t are still open until at least 8 or 9pm. They open at 6 or 7am, so even if he was working a graveyard…

Not her biggest fan, but I wish her well. I really hope at some point she removes her implants. Yolanda Foster was another one whose intense “mystery” symptoms improved dramatically when her implants were removed. Even if not the sole cause of her problems, it couldn’t hurt.

Prior to oestrogen, transwomen performed fewer push-ups in 1 min than CM and this gap increased with oestrogen. Transwomen performed more push-ups than CW prior to oestrogen but this difference (in push up performance, not physical advantage or measured muscle size) disappeared after 2 years on oestrogen (table 4 and…

I’m lucky to not have gone through an overplucking phase, but I’ve always wanted more shapely brows than I can grow on my own. Initially this sounded like something I’d be down to try, but especially since my hair texture is 3C/4A I cannot imagine the nightmare my upper eye area would turn into with brow fros. This is…

Thus transwomen will have a higher power output than CW when performing an equivalent number of push-ups. Therefore, our study may underestimate the advantage in strength that transwomen have over CW.

Our assessments of muscular strength are also confounded by differences in weight between our transgender participants and reference populations. For example, as a group, transwomen weigh more than CW. Thus transwomen will have a higher power output than CW when performing an equivalent number of push-ups. Therefore, o…

• Transwomen retain an advantage in upper body strength (push-ups) over female controls for 1–2 years after starting gender affirming hormones.
