A FUN FACT ~ If Sharron Davies trans men who are taking testosterone for there transition (T is not banned in park runs) will be forced to claim to be a woman. Seems to take all the fun out of fun run because the research shows after just one year of T trans men are running faster than c_s men.

Reminder that there is no scientific definition for "ultra-processed food", and no theory for the mechanism by which it is supposedly uniquely harmful.

The implicit scaremongering in the term "ultraprocessed food" is that the industrial processes that put food on the tables of billions of people every day also make it unwholesome. But again, no one has been able to point to the specific industrial process, or preservative, that is harmful.

There is a reason why the Olympics banned sex based dna testing in 1999. It's because women fully developed & born as female were showing XY chromosomes. Some of those women had even given birth to healthy kiddos. Biology is far more complex than your 5th grade biology book.

Some cultural figures such as Santa & Jesus & some nations such as Israel are creations of human imagination & societal constructs, whereas individuals identifying as trans & intersex represent actual human experiences & biological variations that have historically existed.

Are the oligarchs investing more and more on chatbots and AI so as more water gets wasted implying not enough water for the poor implying no more communism? They will have a solid argument against it: not enough resources for everyone. Now is the time where resources are in surplus for the world.

What is an endocrine gland?
Chemical compounds are secreted by all sorts of cells. Depending on how far they travel to their target cells, endocrinologists use all sorts of technical terms. These are shown here in a schematic by Ferdinand Labrie, already in 1991, and again in a modified form in 2003 (reprinted with permission by Oxford University Press). Some named him the ‘inventor’ of intracrinology.

Is your green the same as mine? Probably not. But does that mean color is just in the eye of the beholder? Philosophers argue no — colors are as objective as length or temperature. Despite variations in perception, color can be measured in science, biology and everyday life 🧪 💚

Colors are objective, according to two philosophers − even though the blue you see doesn’t match what I see
An object’s color appears differently under different lighting and against different backgrounds − for different viewers. But that doesn’t mean colors are subjective.
