What's interesting is that testosterone replacement isn't even approved by the FDA for "men who do not have a diagnosed form of hypogonadism, a condition tied to a malfunction of the organs that produce testosterone."

I find it peculiar that Hegseth is offering the replacement therapy to service members broadly.

/3 – more #MyThoughts –

#Hegseth says that soldiers >30 will be screened for testosterone level as part of their regular health screenings, so they are given no choice.

But, they are given a choice whether to replace their testosterone if it is below whatever level is acceptable.

➡️ What happens if they don't replace testosterone? Will they then be considered unacceptable for military service?

And will females be considered automatically ineligible?

This truly seems ageist & sexist to me.

In an effort to "keep troops on the “leading edge of lethality" —

#Hegseth announces annual testosterone screenings for service members ~

"The screening...will affect troops age 30 and older, though those under 30 can voluntarily choose to get the test."

The goal is to "have the right testosterone levels to operate at [their] absolute best because it’s well-established science that as we age, testosterone levels often naturally drop."

My professors were kind of all over the place about AI when I was in grad school. AI was being forced upon them and most seemed to tolerate it because they had to. One of my professors, however, was all about AI (it was a tech-related class). Anyway, as part of the class, we experimented with ChatGPT and other LLMs for research. It was shocking how incredibly wrong ChatGPT was. It made up stuff.

2026-07-12T19:47:14Z

Lame.

Judging subjectively based on supposed "convoluted style," a professor blames AI for his students doing well on a take-home exam in comparison to an in-person exam.

However, he doesn't account for different variables, assuming that students did well with take-home tests because they used AI, but not considering that they essentially had "unlimited time" to complete the exam and could've referenced their class materials.

Not only that, but the website signup is public (with a link) and all the parents freely put there their kids' first and last names on there – so it shows their kids' full names on the public-facing website and says where exactly their kids will be and when... are they out of their minds

So being one that pushes back against the way things are done in order to guard my principles is actually pretty exhausting.

#Privacy is a big issue. An ex: I am often required to use different privacy-compromising 3rd-party apps for one-time sign-ups for one-time events (for a program my kid is already in). But NO. I don't have to, and I tell them that (in a nice way ;)

And I'm always *that* parent (sigh).
It would be MUCH easier to just roll with everything, but that's not who I am.

Far-Right Nick Fuentes believes that women should not be allowed to vote.

His young followers (generally young men) often tout Fuentes's beliefs.

In other news, his followers often complain online that they can't get girlfriends.

I had a feeling Scott Pelley would be fired by CBS after I read and responded to an article about how he took a stand at a meeting on Monday.

It's sad, but good for him for sticking to his principles and speaking up.

'60 Minutes' (and really all of #CBS news) has changed and will not revert to its well-known journalistic integrity while #Trump is effectively in charge (via his buddy David Ellison).

(They took a part of a quote out of context; the quote didn't mean what they said it did when taken into context)

I wonder how quickly we as a society will lose our analytical skills as we rely more and more on AI to sum everything up for us...

And then to think that all the readers' comments are likely run through AI... why should I give it my words.

Trump Administration to Make Green Card Applicants File Overseas ~

Most would need to LEAVE THE #USA and apply at a U.S. Consulate in another country, where they risk losing any legal status in the U.S. "and being unable to return." 👀

This would especially affect #immigrants living in the #US illegally who "gain legal status by marrying a U.S. citizen or having U.S. citizen children sponsor them once the children turn 21."

This smacks of guilt. I mean, if #Trump were innocent, why not just let #IRS audit... lots of people get audited.

And then to boot, Blanche (who was Trump's personal criminal defense attorney, btw) throws in "related or affiliated individuals" including Trump's family & companies, which REALLY makes him seem guilty.

But also note it reads "as of the Effective Date of the Settlement Agreement", so it's not a get-out-of-IRS-audit-forever-free card.

Do you know that #Musk rolled Twitter (now "X") into #SpaceX over several moves (in the course of a few years).

Yep. Twitter, which many financial people said was doomed to fail with such a horrible LBO (leveraged buyout). It seemed like an awful deal for Musk, but he did major financial gymnastics because he is the wealthiest person in the world and he can do that.

So now the SpaceX IPO could make him a trillionaire — think about that next time you post on X.

Officers who defended Capitol from rioters sue to block payouts from $1.8B ‘anti-weaponization’ fund ~

The lawsuit claims #Trump will use the illegal slush fund to "finance the insurrectionists and paramilitary groups that commit violence in his name."

And that the fund’s creation is "the most brazen act of presidential corruption this century" that violates the Constitution, bypasses Congress, and is not backed by statute.

I don't really know, none of it really makes much sense except 1) I think Trump really wants out of the Iran war now and 2) Mr. Ahmadinejad might make sense to Trump as a regime change leader choice simply for the reason that he said (obvious strategic) things to pump up Trump's ego in the past.

/2 - Of course it could only help Republicans —

who are listed at the top of #Georgia ballots (except in primaries and special elections) because of an elections rule where the name of the candidate who is of the same party as the current governor is shown at the top.

Voters who haven't researched candidates might just pick the most prominent one at the top of the list.

As Democrats "have steadily been wiping out Republican officials in the core #Atlanta counties of swing-state of #Georgia,"

The governor quietly SIGNED INTO LAW a requirement ONLY for the 5 most populous Metro Atlanta counties of Fulton, Cobb, Gwinnett, Dekalb & Clayton that FORBIDS POLITICAL PARTY DESIGNATION on ballots for most elected officials.

It also moves elections for all affected officials to May, when there is typically less voter turnout.
