Welcome to another edition of \u201cToday in Stoopid <\/s>Stupid.\u201d Fortunately, there is never any shortage of material for these posts.<\/p>\n

*Sam Hawgood, a pediatrician — and the chancellor<\/em> of U.C. San Francisco School of Medicine \u2014 recently appeared before a congressional hearing on DEI in med schools to state, \u201cthe vast majority of pregnancies are in women.\u201d<\/p>\n

The vast majority, you say? That is like saying the \u201cvast majority\u201d of those born will pass away at some point. Or, the \u201cvast majority\u201d of people with fully functioning vaginas are women. Brilliant. Thank God for medical experts.<\/p>\n

*After Egypt\u2019s loss to Argentina in the FIFA World Cup, Egyptian commentator Mohammed Nour posted a video in which he claimed Israel was to blame for his country\u2019s 3-2 loss.<\/p>\n

Say what<\/em>?! Nour claimed that Yair Netanyahu, the son of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, was somehow involved \u2014 and added, “We played against Argentina, but also against FIFA\u00a0and Israel.\u201d Alrighty then. Of course, Egyptian authorities also once detained a stork<\/em> on suspicion of it being an Israeli spy. True story. The vile but ever-growing ranks of antisemites now have something else to hang on the Jews. Lose a game? Blame Israel!<\/p>\n

*Speaking of stupid, Americans are reading less, and, in many cases, dramatically so. It is not much of an exaggeration to say that we are entering a postliterate world. (As reading skills decline, so does writing competency.) More troubling yet, IQ scores have been falling lately, too. And it\u2019s no coincidence that the decline in reading skills and intelligence is happening simultaneously. But what the hell, we have AI, right?<\/p>\n

*The NOAA currently estimates that there is an 81% chance that there will be a \u201cSuper\u201d El Ni\u00f1o during the months of October thru December, perhaps the strongest recorded since 1950. And, right on cue, \u201caid\u201d groups such as CARE are warning that this unusually strong El Ni\u00f1o could worsen health and humanitarian risks for women<\/em>, particularly those in \u201cmarginalized\u201d communities already adversely affected by food insecurity, water shortages, and reduced access to medical care.<\/p>\n

According to an article purportedly by \u201cJohn Ghost,\u201d from a publication called \u201cWhen In Your State,\u201d we must understand that \u201cWomen can face disproportionate harm during disasters because existing inequalities often increase their caregiving responsibilities, exposure to violence, and difficulty accessing health services and financial resources.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bad weather disproportionately affects women? First of all, there aren\u2019t any systemic existing inequalities, at least not ones disfavoring women. <\/em>And is it still not the case that far more men than women are firefighters, storm chasers, police officers, National Guard members, ambulance drivers, construction workers, and the like?<\/p>\n

You can\u2019t fix stupid. But you can laugh at it.<\/p>\n
