2/ When remotely pushed on any of the harms of feminization, Andrews has to basically reorient her argument to something she thinks the audience wants to hear, because there's no evidence of the original claims (women are bad vets).

If you’re gonna claim, as Helen does, “The rule of law will not survive the legal profession becoming majority female” then you should be actively and urgently curious about what protective factor is keeping veterinary medicine on track!

DC-area folks: lots going on right now, but this rally to save PEPFAR is worth a look. The cruelties and robbery are worth fighting in aggregate and important to fight in specific. pepfarreport.org/event

NEW from Gen. Mark Hertling: "When driven by political loyalty, ideological purity, or paranoia, replacing generals can weaken command structures, reduce battlefield effectiveness, and even lead to national security disasters."

Sincerely delighted to discover, 45 minutes into this nearly-wordless three-hour documentary about French monks who take vows of silence, that among the reasons they *can* talk is "to make sure the monastery cats know when it's mealtime by making little kitty-calling noises at them."

It's worth pointing this out because this is summer in Australia i.e. fire season. Historically the us, Australia and iirc Canada have shared resources and personnel which you know we're not in a great position to do right now since California is taking in firefighters from other states
During our Black Summer, more than 1,000 people came from North America to assist in firefighting efforts.
The overlap in fire seasons in both hemispheres has huge implications for how we fight fire.
Australia needs its own fleet of Large Air Tankers (LATs).

Fire seasons around the world are starting to overlap. This may leave Australia on its own
Experts say Australia can no longer rely on northern hemisphere nations for water-bombing aircraft and firefighters during our summer.
