Looks like Clarence Thomas might have done something I actually agree with. Still looking for the “what’s the catch” though.

In less surprising news: Lauren Boebert has no gag reflex.



I had to double check: she did actually post this.

More than 55% of sperm samples from a French infertility clinic contained high levels of glyphosate, the world’s most common weedkiller, raising further questions about the chemical’s impact on reproductive health and overall safety, a new study found.

The new research also found evidence of impacts on DNA and a correlation between glyphosate levels and oxidative stress on seminal plasma, suggesting significant impacts on fertility and reproductive health.

The paper comes as researchers look for answers to why global fertility rates are dropping, and many suspect exposure to toxic chemicals like glyphosate is a significant driver of the decline.

Glyphosate is used on a wide range of food crops and in residential settings in the US. The most popular glyphosate-based product is Monsanto’s Roundup weedkiller, which has been at the center of legal and regulatory battles in recent years. US government research from 2023 found genotoxicity in farmers with high levels of the herbicide in their blood, suggesting an association between it and cancer.

Farmers spray that stuff on grain crops such as oats, wheat and barley to speed up the drying process for an early harvest.

'Glyphosate is a primary drinking water contaminant of the federal Safe Drinking Water Act and has a Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) and Maximum Contaminant Level Goal (MCLG) of 700 ppb. In animal studies, glyphosate caused developmental effects, including reduced infant body weight and skeletal changes.'

Paraquat is worse. Banned in fifty countries, but still widely used in the US.

Oops.

That dumb prick Alito probably won’t be able to blame this on his wife.
