Seven years ago, I made this argument in response to the claim that machines will replace us. It still holds up: Automation will eliminate some jobs, but consumers will often pay a premium for the human touch, writes @DrJayRichards

Wow, talk about responding to a straw man. C'mon @TheAtlantic
The only people spreading the 'miasma' theory (whatever the heck that is) is @TheAtlantic. This piece evinces a basic lack of reading and analytic skills, and a fair bit of conspiratorial thinking. https://t.co/ly6zOFmyFp

1/ As @abigailandwords correctly notes in @NRO, the @APApsychiatric agreed to participate in the peer-review process and condemned the report for overlooking 16 studies, but the APA itself overlooked the HHS report's evidence review, which included 12 of those studies. In fact,

If you are thinking about ditching health insurance all together but are worried about going completely naked in the case something big comes up, you should give CrowdHealth a look. Here is what our CrowdHealth members have paid on average/month over the last 12 months: $143

New @FDRLST "a norm of egg freezing and IVF will further entrench the view that marriage is a capstone in life, rather than a foundation, and that children should be timed with an eye on career optimization, which usually means waiting until the last fertile minute."

🚨With a puberty blocker trial looming in the UK, here is why the HHS Review concludes: "administering [pediatric medical transition] to adolescents, even in a research context, is in tension with well-established ethical norms for human subjects research." 1/5 #ReadtheReport

One of the coauthors of the HHS report on pediatric gender medicine criticizes ABC News for reporting the American Psychiatric Association's criticism of the report but not citing the coauthors' response, which pointed out errors in the APA's critique and suggested that the

The more video I saw of Charlie Kirk after his death, the better I liked him. The more video I see of Nick Fuentes, the more I wonder how *anyone* could like him. Smirky, infantile, vapid.
Nick Fuentes says that once he turns 30, he'll probably find himself a 16-year-old child bride: "Right when the milk is good, I want to start drinking the milk."

News outlets like ABC reported that the American Psychiatric Association criticized the HHS Review on pediatric gender dysphoria for omitting studies. But they forgot to mention this👇

How did this happen?
Me and thousands of other young men stepped up to fight radical Islam in the Middle East on the claim that “You fight them over there, so we don’t have to fight them over here.” And while we fought overseas, while my brothers bled and died for that claim, our government was

Some major medical groups have pushed back against the findings of the HHS' gender-affirming care report, saying it lacks transparency and is not backed by science.

A ban on PVC in packaging applications would cause consumers to suffer negative health, safety, and financial consequences. The truth is that PVC is an excellent material for packaging because it is safe, sturdy, economical, and easily manufactured. It's used in many packaging

Mandating "preferred pronoun" use in public schools is a patent violation of the 1st Amendment's guarantee of freedom of speech. Olentangy Public Schools in Ohio forgot that. So, we took them to court and won. My latest for @NRO:

There is more and more evidence that putting computers and tablets on students' desks (1:1 devices) was a terrible mistake. I agree with @AdamMGrant that "it's time to remove laptops [and tablets] from classrooms."
It's time to remove laptops from classrooms. 24 experiments: Students learn more and get better grades after taking notes by hand than typing. It's not just because they're less distracted—writing enables deeper processing and more images. The pen is mightier than the keyboard.

An outstanding thread. Give it a read.
The attacks on @McCormickProf are directly related to the distance a person stands from any real power to impact secular institutions, lack of earned scholarly credibility, & degree of cozy insulation within & career dependence on culturally impotent RW & evangelical bubbles.

I really hope the DOJ pursues these cases.
What is really wild about this fraudulent coding story is that the AMA sets up task force committees to figure out ways to make sure gender doctors get paid and if they do so in a state where it is illegal, those doctors are protected. These committees not only includes gender

This is why people are losing trust in scientists and institutions. These two trans-identified authors who tout their authority as “scientists who have studied sex and gender for many years,” claim that “transgender people are a natural part of the human species” who have
