This moment when the penny drops that trying to implement bathroom bans is an impossibility for the former Tory Chief Secretary Simon Clarke is delicious.

In 25 years of covering national security, I’ve never seen a story like this: Senior Trump officials discussed planning for the U.S. attack on Yemen in a Signal group--and inadvertently added the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...
The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans
U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

Palestinians have to beg online because Israel won't let any aid in. No food, no diapers, no medication, nothing. An endless amount of food that was sent to Gaza got spoiled in trucks that were stopped at the border. Do you understand? This is an intentional famine of civilians who are being bombed

I'm back in the office 5 days a week and god help me, I've just discovered the local cafe is on Too Good To Go. I was already concerned about the canteen food being unhealthy. Five quid for all this.

The Irish Blood Transfusion Service is urging donors to make a special effort to give blood around the Christmas & New Year period, & into January 2025. It said this is important due to the way the holidays fall this year, as 45 normally scheduled clinics will not be held over that period.

"I didn't think we meant polio," says leader of Let's Make Polio Great Again party
Sen. Mitch McConnell, the former Republican leader and a polio survivor, issued a statement in support of the polio vaccine, hours after The New York Times reported that the lawyer for Robert F. Kennedy Jr. petitioned regulators to withdraw the vaccine from the market. nyti.ms/4iwSCbV
McConnell Defends Polio Vaccine, an Apparent Warning to RFK Jr.
“Efforts to undermine public confidence in proven cures are not just uninformed — they’re dangerous,” said the former Republican leader, who is a polio survivor.

In 1890, the X and Y chromosomes were discovered. It was found that the men who were tested had 46 chromosomes, including an X and a Y, while women who were tested also had 46 chromosomes, including 2 X chromosomes.
So obviously the conclusion was that the Y chromosome defined masculinity.
