Wagner Declares War on Russia, Coup Underway

Prighozhin: ‘All patriots of Russia, true patriots of the country, go out into the streets, we will find weapons.  This night we will solve the issue of traitors and criminals who disgraced Russia.”

How long is your taint?

Global sperm counts are falling. This scientist believes she knows why | Financial Times

For more than two decades she has devoted her life to studying the effects of “endocrine disrupting” chemicals (EDCs), which can interfere with the body’s natural hormones. These include pesticides, bisphenols, which harden plastic so it can be used in food storage containers and baby bottles, and phthalates, which soften plastic for use in packaging and products such as garden hoses. In recent years, traces of EDCs have been found in breast milk, placental tissue, urine, blood and seminal fluid.

AGD, or the length of the perineum, she explained, can reflect how much testosterone or androgen a fetus was exposed to during a very small window of pregnancy. “If there’s too little androgen for a boy, he doesn’t get fully masculinized,” she said. “If there’s too much androgen for a girl, she gets over-masculinized.” A mother with polycystic ovary syndrome, for example, will produce an excess of testosterone, and her daughter might have a longer, more masculine AGD.

Alex and Adrian's Unattended Baggage
Alexander Snitker (libertarian-Republican political hack) and Adrian Wyllie (born-again anarchist and political has-been) banter, blather and joke about current events, while attempting to figure out whether to keep trying to salvage our Constitutional Republic, or just stock up on marshmallows to roast on the smoldering embers of society.
