93% of gynecological research is conducted on men? Research into ovarian cancer? Development into drugs for preeclampsia?
That's not what that means at all. It means gynecological research + research into other issues that only affect female physiology only accounts of 7% of all medical research. The other 93% is either focused on general or male-specific issues (and conducted mostly on men).
Issues that affect both women and men still often tend to affect both in different ways -- but the majority of medical research tends to just take what works for the standard male body and apply that to everyone regardless of sex instead of investigating sex-specific effects and tailoring solutions around that
We were hoping that this letter to @bsky.app could first be shared by a Gazan, but we were too worried that doing so would get their account deleted so we are sharing first. You can sign on to the letter about the unfair treatment of Gazans on Bluesky here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1_yc...
The Bluesky moderation team is unfairly suspending the accounts of Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip left right and center, and suppressing their ability to keep the world informed of the hell they're being subjected to. Why? We've no clue, but we're hoping a popular wave of support will help change that. Please sign up!
There's no "might" about it -- the entire system is dyed bright saffron and the ruling regime has mastered the art of keeping it that way to maintain their iron grip on power and cover for their gaping failures in economy and governance

Banana giant Chiquita Brands has fired its workers in Panama who have been out on strike for more than three weeks as part of nationwide protests against reforms to the social security system.

> Panamanian President José Raúl Mulino had said earlier Thursday that the strike was illegal and included some 5,000 workers. > > “Unfortunately, following the unjustified abandonment of work at our plantations and operations centers since April 28 and continuing today, (the company) has proceeded with the termination of all of our daily workers,” the company said in a statement. It said the company had suffered losses of at least $75 million. > > Protests marches and occasional roadblocks have stretched from one end of the country to the other as teachers, construction workers and other unions expressed their rejection to changes the government said were necessary to keep the social security system solvent.
I'd honestly love to take my cats along on a motorbike ride, but that would mean subjecting them to the hellscape that is Mumbai's traffic, so...I'm not about to do that. Props to the guy who did, but nah
The organizers seem to be the usual trance-rave "boom shankar" fuckwits who do this kind of nonsense on the regular -- but I do notice Paytm Inside, BookMyShow, and Skillbox selling tickets for this as well
Just to be clear, I do think the obvious solution to terrible things like this is vastly expanded public transit so that people don't have to rely on cars to get everywhere, not overhyped technology and driving aids that are still only marginally better than a human driver. I just thought the article was interesting.

I know lol. This is like when the CIA put out that one recruitment video aimed at Chinese citizens a few weeks ago -- the video was supposed to lament the terrible conditions of Chinese workers, but inadvertently turned out as a brutal critique of American capitalism
Just came across this case where a California Highway Patrol officer tried to arrest a firefighter in the midst of treating people injured in a traffic incident, simply because he refused to move a fire engine that was blocking a lane of traffic on the highway to protect first responders and the patients they were attending to.

You're not wrong, but Sabine Hossenfelder is not a good source for well, anything (except physics, which she has excellent grounding in).
A federal judge has dismissed part of a lawsuit that accused police in New Mexico of violating constitutional protections against unreasonable searches and seizures when they fatally shot a man after showing up at the wrong address.

> The shooting of Robert Dotson, 52, in the northwestern New Mexico city of Farmington prompted a civil lawsuit by his family members, though public prosecutors found there was no basis to pursue criminal charges against officers after a review of events. The suit alleged that the family was deprived of its civil rights and officers acted unreasonably. > > Hearing a knock at the door late on April 5, 2023, Dotson put on a robe, went downstairs and grabbed a handgun before answering. Police outside shined a flashlight as Dotson appeared and raised the firearm before three police officers opened fire, killing him. Dotson did not shoot. > > “Ultimately, given the significant threat Dotson posed when he pointed his firearm at officers ... the immediacy of that threat, the proximity between Dotson and the defendant officers, and considering that the events unfolded in only a few seconds, the court finds that the defendant officers reasonably applied deadly force,” U.S. District Court Judge Matthew Garcia said in a written court opinion.
He's a fed himself, is the point I'm making. He's not some innocent patsy being framed, he's in on the entire thing for the optics of it
No I get that, but there's this prevailing sentiment that cars are somehow more necessary in rural areas because...they're not worth serving with transit or something? I don't know. I think it's ridiculous. Big cities should obviously have excellent transit and non-car infrastructure but so should small towns and villages
You're so right actually. All of the facts are absolutely being reported with pinpoint accuracy and zero bias or obfuscation by official sources and media that absolutely haven't demonstrated a consistent slant towards a certain side for the entire duration of this latest round of genocide in particular and the entire struggle in general.
Come to think of it, I'm sure the timing of this event, coming at a time when that particular side is actually starting to lose substantial support in the court of public opinion as well as in actual criminal courts, is completely circumstantial and coincidental -- as is the fact that the perpetrator is part of a "leftist" organization that is notoriously riddled with feds to keep an eye on the movement, or the fact that he was treated with kid gloves and allowed to shout FREE PALESTINE loud and clear for the cameras to capture, by a police force that normally shoots kids with toy guns -- the same police force that was pointing guns at Aaron Bushnell as he burned to death.
Completely above board and natural, I'm certain.
And you think the feds don't have enough experience to draw from to plant a convincing-looking manifesto?
Doesn't have to be either. I wouldn't put it past the Zionists to consider two unsuspecting lives an acceptable price for the massive PR boost they're getting out of this
You are STILL missing the point.
Let's apply your marathon analogy to this situation. Your daughter's signed up to run a trail marathon. There are comfortable, ergonomic, rugged footwear options available that are specifically and scientifically designed to cushion runners' feet, protect them from debris, pebbles, dirt etc. on the trail, provide them with extra grip, and reduce the strain of long-distance trail running. You can afford to get the best of the best of these shoes to make sure her running experience is as low-strain and as comfortable as it can be.
Your daughter has instead chosen to eschew all of these and run completely barefoot and unprotected on boiling hot asphalt and uneven trails strewn with sharp stones and animal droppings, because it's "natural". She has arrived at the finish line, limping with a twisted ankle and her soles bleeding all over the place from cuts and scratches galore.
For some reason you're trumpeting that you're proud of her for doing this and not opting for "the comfort of trail running shoes", when you have absolutely zero say or opinion in this situation.
The rest of us are looking at you like you've got two heads.
Do you understand now?
I don't think you'll find anyone with a lick of sense in here that's advocating for zero cars -- just that the way the system is currently set up prioritizes cars above everything else when it ought to be the other way around -- cars ought to be the very last resort instead of the first option most people go for. Taxis absolutely have their uses, and yes they should be cheap, but not so abundant as to divert people from using mass transit like buses or trams
I think the confusion stems from the fact that the actual vehicle that the Brisbane Metro rolling stock is based on is also called a Hess LighTram. There's a good chance that this is also going to end up just being a BRT like the Brisbane Metro, or (maybe) an adapted guided bus system. We'll have to see, it's still extremely early days for this project. Honestly I'm just glad they're considering something like this, we have precious few modernized transit options in any of our cities.
I'm on the web interface so I do actually see the headline in the body (plus the beginning of the article itself), but I think maybe it doesn't show up on other clients?
