Older adults with higher baseline systolic blood pressure (SBP) levels have a lower risk for incident dementia, and more distinctly U-shaped associations between SBP and dementia risk were observed only in those older than 75 years, according to a study in JAMA Internal Medicine.

The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday declined to hear a challenge by Republican lawmakers to pandemic-related proxy voting rules set by Speaker Nancy Pelosi in the Democratic-led House of Representatives that were tailored to limit exposure to COVID-19.

The voting rules, implemented in May 2020, allow members of the 435-seat House to serve as proxies for colleagues in quarantine or otherwise unable to cast floor votes in the chamber. House Republican leader Kevin McCarthy and other lawmakers had asked the Supreme Court to reverse a lower court decision that allowed the remote voting rules to remain in effect.

Militarized Dolphins Protect Almost a Quarter of the US Nuclear Stockpile

Since Bangor, Washington, now houses the largest single nuclear weapons site in the world, it needs protection from all sides, including the seaward side. That's where the Navy's dolphin pods and sea lions come in. Navy spokesman Chris Haley says the animals have been defending the waters around the stockpile, holding roughly 25% of the United States’ 9,962 nuclear warheads, since 2010.

The United States isn't the only country known to train marine animals for these kinds of missions. Its sea mammal mission only became public knowledge in the 1990s, however. The Soviet Union trained dolphins for similar harbor protection.

After the fall of the USSR, the program was said to be in limbo, and the Soviet-trained dolphins are believed to have been sold to Iran in 2000. Russia is said to have been looking to update its training program, and may even have used them in Syria.

Satellite imagery near the North Korea city of Nampo has revealed what look to be dolphinariums in the Taedong River, meaning North Korea may have a dolphin-based anti-infiltration plan of its own.

President Biden referred to Fox Propaganda reporter Peter Doocy as 'a stupid son of a bitch' for asking if he (Biden) thought inflation would be a liability in the 2022 midterm elections.

This is known as saying the out loud part out loud.

Well, it looks like the Hays Code is alive and well and living in China. Actually, this might be a bit more depressingly predictable if the anonymous blogger is right in their hunches about [i]Ocean’s 11[/url], because the original film ended with all the money being burnt in a coffin that was meant for cremation.

I’m sorry, I must have misread that, I thought it said Rudy Giuliani was selling a T-shirt that costs over 900 fucking dollars with nothing but his signature (which seems to have a market value of about $100-200) justifying the exorbitant cost.

I think I also misread it, because I thought it said that Rudy Giuliani is a mercenary scumbag with no more moral centre than a fetid pile of pig shit.
