Reply to Androgen study could lead to new treatments for breast cancer. Gender-affirming androgen therapy in transgender men ‘reprograms’ the breast tissue to more closely resemble cis-male tissue, according to international researchers. by MistWeaver80

Interesting understanding of “gender-affirming”, I had to read twice to understand that scientists are considering “affirming” to transition from the birth gender.

Reply to Madonna 1980s by steroidamoeba

Never a beauty, but always a strong presence and a like-no-other savvy of what is hip. Painful to see what time is doing to us all, even to her.

Reply to comment by Donut_Whole in My dad as an apprentice welder in 1978 (on the left) by Woodrow268

I inherited a locker in the Army which was tapestried with centerfolds. I was NOT allowed to take them off and was the only guy allowed to keep centerfolds “officially” and not need to take them down at any time - the others tried and every now and then they had to take them off. My locker was considered art.

When starting work, teams were working in either 4 or 5 shifts, 24/7, and women were not allowed by law to do night shifts in production. The team rooms had centerfolds, sexy post cards were sent from vacation and pinned for years to the pin-boards. Newspapers had a naked babe on the first page and on page three, later just on page three. And everything unmanly or team-averse was ogled and loudly condemned as first warning, called “gay” on second warning, while third warning could be up to physical confrontation.

There was no shop, wherever you went, changing tires, repairing electronics, where there was not at least a calendar with nude babes. Bosses had the Pirelli Calendar on the walls behind them, just above the pictures of wives and kids sometimes 😊.

Lady customers , lady employees were supposed to not take any offense. Sincerely so. It was inconceivable in the 1980s, after all what everybody had done in the 1970s to be offended by nude pics.

Ladies were in majority topless on the beach, mid 1980s mostly in thongs (thongs are back, but topless is as rare as in the early 1970s late 1960s). I had girlfriends, who did not even pack a top when going to vacation.

Unthinkable today.

Reply to A study of NFL games during the 2020 season suggests a link between attendance and COVID spikes in surrounding counties 14 and 21 days later. The inferred connection held strongest for games attended by 20,000-plus fans by Wagamaga

Unexplainable, unexpected… Wth, there were plenty of studies during COVID already linking school openings to increase in contagion. WHICH DOES NOT MEAN that I am pro-lockdown or pro-online school. Imho one really does not need to have physical attendance of sports et al., but work and school must go on during a pandemic dangerous “only” to the old and sick.

Reply to Winston Churchill painting a cityscape in 1948 while smoking his signature cigar and drinking scotch - after the end of WW2 Churchill filled his time by traveling, writing, and painting by bsmith2123

The Churchill fact which impresses me most is that he is a Nobel Prize winner, however not for his incommensurable contribution to Allied victory in WWII, but for Literature, mostly for his History of Britain. What a genius!
