A lot of male histrionics on display

This is officially the most American thing I’ve ever seen.

guess argentina can’t be down a man if they have all the refs

Apparently, when you play against Argentina and you touch them just a little bit, your action does not count.

What the what??? Why is that goal not allowed???

Is it just me, or so all the refs have an ex military look?

What???? Messi gets a penalty kick?????

That is fucking ridiculous. The Spanish guy gets flattened, no yellow card. The Argentinian takes a dive and a yellow card.

The menopause transition is a cardiometabolic inflection. We have tools to improve the health of women, but they are often not fully used. A new study wants to find out how much we can improve women’s cardiometabolic health if we employ all those tools correctly. open.substack.com/pub/vajenda/...

I trust @drjengunter.bsky.social on this (and all) evidence-based menopause questions. She wrote a post here vajenda.substack.com/p/natural-bi...

To be a historian is to speak ill of the dead and the rest of you should take more history classes and join us.

Just saw this from @drjengunter.bsky.social — absolutely right! “We know we know that in Canada when you build a private clinic you take away from the public.” #OwnIt #PublicHealth

A new Medscape story features SOGC President Dr. Nicholas Leyland and SOGC member Dr. Jen Gunter on the need to improve access to menopause care. The SOGC is calling for all front-line providers to be trained to deliver free menopause care in Canada. www.medscape.com/viewarticle/...

Social media posts containing misinformation evoke more moral outrage than posts with trustworthy information, and that outrage facilitates the spread of misinformation, according to a 2024 study in Science. https://scim.ag/4wgXGHA #SocialMediaDay

The fundraising texts from the democrats need to stop. First of all, how do I know that is you. Second, three before noon from different people is a bit much.

Premature babies who weigh less than 1,200 g automatically qualify for Medicaid. I guess they should *checks notes* get a job while ventilated in the NICU?

Trump has not been seen in public for 8 days. He turned 80 on June 14. This would be above the fold news if it were Biden.

No mention in the NYT. The unequal health coverage for Trump v Biden is absurd

I like metaphors. So here’s an extended one about how Danielle Smith and the UCP are attacking & undermining our public healthcare system, pushing it to the point of collapse. The damage is deep, but it can be stopped. An Alberta NDP government will build our healthcare system back. #abpoli

Maybe Peter Thiel left because he knows something about Trump’s health? A girl can dream.

Go ahead and slam journalists when they deserve it. I certainly do. But also realize that New York Times journalists Declan Walsh and Arlette Bashizi willingly traveled to an Ebola ward in the Democratic Republic of Congo in order to inform the world. Many journalists are heroes. (NYT gift link)

Great idea!🔥 I’m picking up some window paint. #ProudBlue #Rapepublicans

Addressing the false claim that women have more testosterone than estrogen. It might get attention in social media, but it’s wrong. We actually have data. We should use it. open.substack.com/pub/vajenda/...

Every GOP primary story is like “syphilis loses to pancreatic cancer”

My son and I watch The Boys each week remotely. We start at the same time and then text “omg” “ the blood” “didn’t see those intestines coming.” And he is camping and can’t watch until Monday and now I have to wait. Arghhhhh

I have been addressing these gaps in knowledge my whole career, and online since 2010 and in my book The Vagina Bible (2019)

I am so excited to be moving to BC!

honestly love this guy wasn't antiabortion enough for the true believers and was too antivaxx for the normies but what got him fired was refusing to endorse flavored vapes. everything is so incredibly stupid now but sometimes it is funny www.nytimes.com/2026/05/12/u...

True, but just TRY to get something like this past the GOP.

This is fucking dystopian level shit www.moms.gov

Fran Lebowitz said, “You do not know anyone as stupid as Donald Trump,” and she is correct

Questions to ask before sharing health content on social media. Does this post feature emotional language designed to make me outraged? Does this claim offer a simple solution to a complex problem? To the best of my knowledge, is this content accurate enough to share? Am I in an echo chamber?⬇️

Trump is looking very corpse-like. And what’s up with that lesion on his neck?

I've been saying this ever since Trump was elected again. They don't want to eliminate Medicare. They want to privatize it and force everyone into Medicare Advantage plans in order to make it an even bigger profit center for insurance companies. Here's the first big step. fortune.com/2026/05/07/m...

Airport authorities are privately operated not-for-profit businesses. They currently pay ~12% of gross revenue as rent to the federal government. Fully privatised would mean for-profit with those profits going to shareholders & a loss of >$400 million per year that taxpayers will have to make up.

Do not do this. Airports are a public good.

On IG Mel Robbins just made an ad telling women to upload their financial information to Microsoft Copilot AI so they can get financial help. Oh and women use AI 40% less than men so they are being left behind.
