My sense is that the “male loneliness crisis” is not really about addressing men’s emotional needs but rather the relatively newfound absence of having someone to perform domestic labor for you quietly in the background now that there is a longer gap between your mother and your wife doing it

By now
you have probably heard
the bad news:
that yet another study
has found
that Covid can cause
long-term brain alterations.
So now
you should really hear
the good news:
that there is still time
for you
to alter your behavior
so you don’t catch Covid.

RFK Jr. has awarded $1.6 million to a group in Denmark to conduct a randomized, single-blind study of the birth dose of Hepatitis B vaccine (HepB) to be conducted in Guinea-Bissau.
In my opinion, this is, quite simply, completely unethical, unacceptable, and predatory.
Here’s why.
