If weirdos like RFK Jr are right about the shocking plunge in new babbie births and sperm counts, it’s God expressing his utter disgust with humanity and turning off the spigot.
“The male boner is 57% less virile and impressive than it was in 1971. We owe it to our wives to get to the bottom of this epidemic of flaccidity, and at this point we are sorta sure the cause is kindness, empathy and tolerance. We have found evidence that bigger jerks are also bigger dicks. Wait…where is everyone going! This is serious! I’m the head of the federal department of health!”
Far be it from me to ever want to defend anything said by that blithering moron.... but maybe.... perhaps what he was trying to say (badly) is that the TOTAL sperm among ALL teenagers (who there are fewer of) is half of the TOTAL sperm among ALL 65+ men (who there are many of). Maybe. Who the hell knows with these cretins. But even if that is what he meant, it doesn't change the fact that they suck at science. Plus they don't even articulate what they are proposing as a solution. Are they advocating testosterone shots for teenagers???? Seriously?
We were both 40 when Babby was born and I did have diabetes, but I'll take the 10 weeks I spent carb counting and stabbing my fingers over the absolute shitshow of parents we would have been at 30.
Mostly that article is interesting because of all the manosphere talk about how women are drying up and unsuitable for knocking up at 40 and beyond (really 30 in their eyes), but Science says eggs show almost no change while it’s the sperm that starts accumulating mutations.
Okay, 87% of Republicans saying they think he's either been good for America's health or hasn't really affected it probably shouldn't surprise me. I am more concerned that 58% of Independents and 25% of Democrats think the same thing.
Lots of "independents" are Republicans in everything but name. There are "Democrats" who are also Republicans in everything but name but like to be quoted as "even the reasonable Democrat X thinks that Kamala's nomination was suspicious."
Dunno where I heard this, but... (possibly anecdotal)
There was a young woman who really wanted IVF, but couldn't afford it. However, in one of Trump's random cascade of garbage speeches was a promise of free IVF. So she held her nose about everything else, and voted for Mr. Trump.
She worked for the Department of the Interior. DOGE fired her. Now it's more a matter of being able to afford the rent.
(And it's worth noting that religious fundamentalists are virulently against IVF, because it typically involves implanting several embryos and aborting those that aren't developing properly, so Mr. Trump's religious advisers shot that idea down quite hard and quickly).
Ta, Robyn. He's always wrong, always. So very, very wrong. Maybe he should be looking into why the long-suffering wives of junkie assholes commit so much suicide.
Maybe Bobby Brainworm is in the Epstein files, too. Just sayin'.
I’m sure planet earth is having a sad just thinking about there one day being less murder monkeys roaming about doing murders.
Also; through my advanced scientifickal infestagtionary skills I have identified the cause of the lower sperms counts and it is being exposed to seeing, hearing, or in any way sensing the existence of Blobby Bear Grillz.
Bobby Jr. needs to worry about the decline of his brain function instead of other people's sperm.
I assume there's been some research into whether the rise in precocious puberty is due to better diets. Or diets that contain more of something, not necessarily nutritionally better.
In Puerto Rico, girls as young as six are going through the throes of puberty. Can you imagine having to wear a bra in first grade? The cause has been determined. They eat a lot of chicken that's loaded with sex hormones. It makes the chickens grow fat quickly. Always about the profit.

-RFK Jr.
I have grown to really hate this man.
He really is obsessed with underage penises, isn' he?
Started at 11 in 1961, so how much change is he babbling about?
Jagoffs tend to obsess about this crap.
I’m still surprised RFK Jr hasn’t called for putting lead back in our gasoline yet.

I think they are advocating for panic and dismay, and in that void, they march in with...something totaly unrelated and totally fascist.
But I don't know. Maybe they're just morons with microphones.
Never attribute to malice what is more easily explained by sheer stupidity
Very true, but I think their stupidity is strongly cut through with malice.

"Older fathers associated with increased birth risks", Stanford Medicine, Oct 2018

From the data of more than 40 million births, scientists at Stanford have linked paternal age to birth risks, and even risks to the mother's health.

huh.
My husband was an older father. Did have a problem with spawn the 1st's birth.

I would guess that's based on the few months he's been in power. But woe be unto us when the next contagious potential plague besets.

Tomorrow is a rescheduled LGBTQ+ Pride celebration in Annapolis. I hope we all stay safe

I've heard that about chicken hormones, also about BST (?) and other cow milk hormones.
IDK for sure. I don't understand why we need growth hormones in food that is already plentiful.
I have a theory that skinny ties increase sperm counts and sex drive. Fact!
I wore lots of badass skinny ties around 1980 and I was jizzing on, in and around all manner of grads and undergrads.
I say #trustthescience
And thanks for the good memories.
Hey, did I know you back then? Nothing could get my clothes off faster than a skinny tie, a slick blazer, and--bestill me my beating heart--a fedora.
:) We were clubbers once, and young.
As I recall, it didn't take much work to get anyone's clothes off then.
So much clubbing. We used to drive 2 1/2 hours to Manhattan for concerts and back the same night all the time.
Suddenly the image of Ric Ocasek popped into my head.
