Society's Child
In the neverending gender debate that obsesses a particular section of the Western middle-class liberal population, it's funny that no one is ever asked to sign a petition demanding that women be allowed to use men's public urinals.
Strangely, however, there seems to be a growing queue of trans women - who for simplicity's sake, let's agree were born male - pushing to use what are widely considered female-allocated public and workplace toilets and changing rooms, as they insist on being given the full set of privileges society allows its members born with two X chromosomes.

Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly are seen in attendance during the UFC 264 event at T-Mobile Arena on July 10, 2021, in Las Vegas, Nevada.
"Uhmmm ... I do not align myself with any political party or individual politicians," the 35-year-old "Transformers" star wrote in an all-caps message on her Instagram Stories addressing her attackers.
Fox insisted that on her "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" appearance Monday, she had only said that the 45th commander-in-chief was greeted by UFC fans as a "legend," without suggesting she thought he was one.

A completely nude woman got stuck between two industrial buildings in Santa Ana, California on Tuesday, KTLA reported. According to the owner of one of the buildings, the woman was screaming, but initially no one knew where the sounds were coming from. Then, the staff at one building discovered her trapped in a foot-wide gap between the walls crying out for help.

Now, the Israeli Health Ministry has discovered that the number of patients who had been infected prior to becoming infected again during the latest Delta-driven wave of the pandemic were less likely to be reinfected than patients who have only been vaccinated. The finding directly contradicts research spouted by American experts like Dr. Fauci, along with Pfizer and Moderna, who have previously insisted that the antibodies created by their jabs are more powerful than antibodies produced by natural infection (which is one reason even the previously infected have been asked to get vaccinated).
According to Israel National News, more than 7.7K new cases of the virus have been detected during the most recent wave (beginning back in May). However, just 72 of the confirmed cases were reported in people who were known to have been previously infected - that is, less than 1% of the new cases.
Roughly 40% of new cases - involving more than 3K patients - were infected despite being fully vaccinated.
By this count, Israelis who had been vaccinated were 6.72x more likely to get infected after the shot than after natural infection, with more than 3K of the 5,193,499, or 0.0578%, of Israelis who were vaccinated getting infected in the latest wave.

Eleven workers at the Sunrise hospital and medical center, only one of whom was unvaccinated, tested positive for coronavirus after attending a party in early June, hospital officials confirmed to the Guardian. None of the workers infected were hospitalized, nor were there any fatalities.
Sunrise's CEO, Todd P Sklamberg, said in a statement.:
"The Centers for Disease Control has confirmed that 11 of our colleagues at Sunrise Hospital tested positive for the Covid-19 Delta variant. All who tested positive are doing well and have returned to work. We want to acknowledge our colleagues recognized their own symptoms (similar to allergies or the common cold) and chose to get tested. There were no exposures to our patients as our staff complies with all PPE guidelines, masking at all times and wearing face shields with all patient encounters."The outbreak, first reported by the Las Vegas Review-Journal, emerged amid growing concern in the US about the Delta variant, which is now the dominant variant in this country. Because the Delta variant is highly transmissible, authorities have said it's all the more important for unvaccinated people to get their shots, both for personal immunity and to prevent spreading Covid-19 to others.
Comment: The article just claimed that only one of the positive Delta-tested workers was unvaccinated.
Comment: Stop meddling with Mother Nature! Get out of the way and let the virus do its job of providing herd immunity.

The fine comes amid international pressure on online platforms such as Google and Facebook to share more revenue with news outlets.
The US tech group must come up with proposals within the next two months on how it would compensate news agencies and other publishers for the use of their news. If it does not do that, the company would face additional fines of up to €900,000 a day.
Google said it was very disappointed with the decision but would comply.
"Our objective remains the same: we want to turn the page with a definitive agreement. We will take the French Competition Authority's feedback into consideration and adapt our offers.News publishers APIG, SEPM and AFP accuse the tech company of having failed to hold talks in good faith with them to find common ground for the remuneration of news content online, under a recent EU directive that creates so-called "neighbouring rights".
"We have acted in good faith throughout the entire process. The fine ignores our efforts to reach an agreement, and the reality of how news works on our platforms."
Comment: For a self-designated global information gatekeeper, money will buy you anything.
Marine experts and advocates in Australia are urging the public to refrain from using the word "attack" in reference to sharks, declaring that the majestic predatory fish has been unfairly stigmatized as a deliberate killer.
Instead, officials have suggested that violent run-ins with sharks be dubbed with more neutral words — such as "interactions."
Others have suggested swapping the word with the terms "negative encounter," "incident" or simply "bites," the Sydney Morning Herald recently reported.
" 'Shark attack' is a lie," said University of Sydney language researcher Christopher Pepin-Neff, who argued that a majority of what people call "attacks" are merely nips and minor injuries from smaller sharks.
Rioters ran wild, ransacking large shopping malls and smaller businesses, emptying out ATMs, and setting buildings on fire.
As the wave of mayhem died down, residents formed cleaning crews and security watch teams to deal with the aftermath of what South African President Cyril Ramaphosa described as one of the worst instances of violence since the apartheid regime ended in the early 1990s.
Comment: Troops have finally deployed in an attempt to restore order, as the death toll rises to 117:
A cabinet minister has said that the number of troops on the ground in South Africa to subdue violence and looting stemming from the sentencing of former president Jacob Zuma has reached 10,000.
Speaking on Thursday evening in a televised news conference, Acting Minister in the Presidency Khumbudzo Ntshavheni said she was pleased with the reports that Gauteng province was "largely calm" and that there had been fewer incidents over the past 24 hours.Gauteng, which includes the Highveld cities of Pretoria and Johannesburg and is home to a quarter of the country's population, has only experienced six reported incidents of violence and looting during the past day, according to Ntshavheni.© REUTERS/Sumaya Hisham
Members of the military patrol through the streets of Alexandra township as the country deploys the army to quell unrest linked to the jailing of former President Jacob Zuma, in Johannesburg, South Africa, July 15, 2021.
She said this was because of the targeted deployment of troops and police in unrest hotspots. "By this morning, 10,000 boots were already on the ground, which is an increment of 5,000 from yesterday morning," Ntshavheni added.
The minister said that a total of 725 people had been arrested in Gauteng, and there had been 26 deaths during the unrest in the region alone.
Ntshavheni said the situation in Kwazulu-Natal remains "volatile" but there were movements towards stability. More than 1,000 people have been arrested in the eastern province and 91 have died during the unrest.
On Wednesday, Defense Minister Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula insisted the country was not in a state of emergency despite the violence and looting triggered by Zuma's imprisonment.

I found myself doing a double-take after reading that sentence. Does Jones really mean to suggest that those creating a "panic" over critical race theory (CRT) are like the dogmatic Darwinists who tried to create a "panic" over the teaching of intelligent design?
Bear with Me as I Explain
In her article, Jones essentially argues that worries about critical race theory have been ginned up by conservative provocateurs who play fast and loose with the facts. In her view, critical race theory is simply an effort to teach historical reality, and those attacking it are unfairly manufacturing a crisis over it.
















Comment: Apparently all institutions have lost their collective minds and are forcing the rest of us to comply with their completely illogical worldview. Anyone with two firing neurons can see that biological men don't lactate, yet we are being mandated to live in a delusional world where they do. It's enough to drive any sane person absolutely insane.
