The research behind this is wild. Your sperm carries a set of instructions that tell your genes when to turn on and off. A Duke University study found that THC rewrites those instructions. The more weed in your system, the bigger the changes. It goes straight for the genes your future embryo needs in its first week of life. I had to read the "day 3 crash" part twice. For the first three days after fertilization, an embryo runs entirely on the mother's DNA. Day 3, the father's genes switch on. If those genes carry cannabis damage, the embryo just stops growing. Fertility doctors see this happen in their labs: embryos that fertilized fine and looked healthy on day 2 go completely still by day 5. Boston University tracked 1,535 couples trying to have a baby. Men who smoked weed once a week or more doubled their partner's miscarriage risk. That number held up even when the woman herself never touched cannabis. And the miscarriages clustered in the first 8 weeks, right when the father's damaged DNA would be doing the most harm. Duke also found that the specific genes THC alters in sperm overlap with genes linked to autism. One of those genes, called DLGAP2, helps brain cells communicate with each other. It was changed in cannabis users' sperm. When researchers bred THC-exposed male rats and checked their offspring, the same altered gene pattern showed up in the pups' brains. The damage crossed a generation. Weed has gotten way stronger over the last 30 years. THC content was about 4% in the 1990s but nearly quadrupled to 15% by 2018, and modern dispensary strains regularly sit at 20-30%. Concentrates go up to 95%. Quitting for about 11 weeks (one full cycle of sperm production) reverses some of the DNA changes. Not all of them. Duke's lead researcher says men should stop at least 6 months before trying for a baby. Half of your kid's genetic blueprint comes from you, and right now, THC is editing that blueprint before conception even happens.

Cannabis is detrimental to sperm: even if they can fertilize, there can be DNA damage. Many miscarriages and (in the case of IVF) “day 3 crashes” which is when paternal DNA normally kicks in, are cannabis related. Dr Natalie Crawford on the Huberman Lab podcast out now.

This is genuinely ridiculous behaviour. This is a local election, about local services. Planning. Social care. Roads. Housing. Bin collections. And all these people can find to talk about is Israel. Still, I guess we know who they'll be blaming for potholes if they're elected.

“May the most affordable grocery store win” he says, after we learn that his store will not pay rent or property taxes. Well what sort of prices could a corporate store offer with two of their biggest cost inputs slashed to $0? I look forward to observing how this train wreck progresses. My hunch is that it will become A) shoplifted ruthlessly, B) staffed by socialists who will go on strike annually for above market pay and “better working conditions”, and C) still lose money despite not paying rent or property taxes.

New York City mayor Zohran Mamdani has announced the location of the city’s first publicly owned supermarket, marking a step towards delivering on his pledge to bring down the cost of food. The city will spend $30m (£22.3m) on the store, which is due to open next year at a marketplace in East Harlem, Mamdani announced on Sunday during an address to mark his first 100 days in office. He wants to open five of the stores - one for each of the city’s boroughs - before the end of his first term in 2029. They will operate without paying rent or taxes and pass those savings onto shoppers. During his address, Mamdani rebutted neoliberal arguments about the effectiveness of publicly owned businesses. "Some will insist that city-owned businesses do not work, that government cannot keep up with corporations," he said. "My answer to them is simple: I look forward to the competition. May the most affordable grocery store win." Mamdani has been quick to deliver on several of his major campaign pledges – many of them aimed at bringing down the cost of living – since taking office on 1 January. He announced the introduction of a free childcare scheme, intervened on behalf of tenants living in poor conditions and secured millions of dollars of restitution for workers. Former presidential candidate Bernie Sanders made a surprise appearance at Mamdani’s address. "I know that the mayor has been criticised and some say this is a radical idea," he told the crowd. "I'll tell you what is a radical idea: Giving tax breaks to billionaires. Throwing people off health care. That's radical. What's radical is starting a terrible war. That's radical. But providing affordable food to working families? That's not radical, it's exactly the right thing to do."

My favorite part of this story is a local news outlet interviewed 1 random Latino employee who started 3 weeks ago, who didn't know the motive & he said, "it sucks because I was starting to make really good money"

Chamel Abdulkarim, who is accused of sparking a massive Ontario warehouse fire after his company didn’t “pay him enough to live”, pleaded not guilty today in court. Good luck finding a jury to convict this man when 70% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck.

Four college students from North Carolina State University developed a nail polish that changes color when exposed to certain drugs often used to drug women, including GHB, Rohypnol, and Xanax. The wearer can stir her drink with a finger. If her drink was tampered with, she'll know within seconds.

A reason I started Words About Birds was to hedge against the precipitous drop off in Cardinals coverage that hit over the winter. The other part was the inherent instability in newspapers in 2026, mated with the ego of believing I have a responsibility to the fan base at large.

He was among MLB's worst players entering 2026, and really struggled for a large part of ST; this idea didn't come out of nowhere Jordan deserves lots of credit for turning it around, but it's important not to be prisoners of the moment, and instead relish how much he's grown
Schmitty@Schmitty_94

@AdamAkbani He’s always been a 5 tool talent. That’s why people wanting the Cards to move on before he turned 24 and others wanting him to start this year in AAA is insane.

The thing that I always come back to with these people is: no one is making them say these things. Their families aren't being held hostage. They don't *have* to say anything. They can even boycott the story; do the ol' Keith Olbermann sulk-in-the-bathtub routine. And yet ...

I do believe that he didn’t think of this as a depiction of Jesus when posting. Still, there has to be more care and discernment here.
