Yale study challenges notion that aging means decline, finds many older adults improve over time
The authors also examined potential reasons for why some people improve and some do not. They hypothesized that an important factor could be participants’ baseline age beliefs — or, specifically, whether they had assimilated more positive or more negative views about aging by the start of the study. In support of this hypothesis, they found that those with more positive age beliefs were significantly more likely to show improvements in both cognition and walking speed, even after accounting for factors such as age, sex, education, chronic disease, depression, and length of follow-up.

In sum, the Committee found substantial evidence of the following:
- From at least 2017 to 2020, Representative Gaetz regularly paid women for engaging in sexual activity with him.
- In 2017, Representative Gaetz engaged in sexual activity with a 17-year-old girl.
- During the period 2017 to 2019, Representative Gaetz used or possessed illegal drugs, including cocaine and ecstasy, on multiple occasions.
- Representative Gaetz accepted gifts, including transportation and lodging in connection with a 2018 trip to the Bahamas, in excess of permissible amounts.
- In 2018, Representative Gaetz arranged for his Chief of Staff to assist a woman with whom he engaged in sexual activity in obtaining a passport, falsely indicating to the U.S. Department of State that she was a constituent.
- Representative Gaetz knowingly and willfully sought to impede and obstruct the Committee’s investigation of his conduct.
- Representative Gaetz has acted in a manner that reflects discreditably upon the House.
Frankly there's quite a bit of that that I'd let him slide on if not for the hypocrisy and the ethics violations on the gifts. And that, yeah, the age difference in fucking a 17 year old is pretty damned skeevy.

You have an #LLM #AI trained on data from the Internet. You have a dial you can twiddle to select content models which make that LLM seem right or left wing in it's political output.
The right side of the dial does largely work, but it also means your LLM does this:

Or: yeah. The pedocon theory is real.

LGBTQ Nation: Cis boys get gender-affirming surgeries more often than trans minors
Results
In 2019, the sample included 47,437,919 adults who were insured and 22,827,194 minors who were insured, of which 3,835,726 minors (16.8%) were aged 15 to 17 years, 2,708,166 (11.9%) were aged 13 to 14 years, and 16 283 302 (71.3%) were aged 12 years or younger. The rate of undergoing a gender-affirming surgery with a TGD-related diagnosis was 5.3 per 100,000 total adults compared with 2.1 per 100,000 minors aged 15 to 17 years, 0.1 per 100,000 minors aged 13 to 14 years, and 0 procedures among minors aged 12 years or younger (Figure 1). Of gender-affirming surgical procedures identified among adults and minors, 1591 of 2664 (59.7%) and 82 of 85 (96.4%) were chest-related procedures, respectively. Of the 636 breast reductions among cisgender male and TGD adults, 507 (80%) were performed on cisgender males. Of the 151 breast reductions among cisgender male minors and TGD minors, 146 (97%) were performed on cisgender male minors

HRDAG was part of a coalition behind the recently-launched Police Records Access Project. The new searchable database includes millions of pages of documents about tens of thousands of police use-of-force and misconduct cases. The database includes documents related to three types of law enforcement incidents in California: instances in which a police weapon was discharged, instances where officers used force that resulted in serious injury or death, and instances in which an agency determined an officer violated certain department rules (like lying or sexual abuse).
Via HRDAG @hrdag@mastodon.social which notes:
One notable insight from reviewing the database of California police misconduct cases: deaths in the database are often labeled as something like "acute drug toxicity," even when the police were engaging with a civilian during or just before the death.
