Testosterone reshapes men’s attraction and their sense of fairness The lab is quiet until the faces appear. One after another, women’s portraits flash on the screen. A group of men rate them, decide whether they’d want to date them, then watch as someone treats each woman fairly or unfairly in a simple money-splitting game. Half the men have rubbed a hormone gel into their skin a few hours earlier. The difference it makes is not just about lust.

Testosterone can nudge men's attraction—and their sense of fairness. Inside the hormone-behavior loop where beauty, punishment, and justice intersect. #AltruisticPunishment #Attraction #Psychoneuroendocrinology #SocialBehavior #Testosterone

My husband and I decided not to post our son's face on social media. It has its challenges, but we think it's worth it. My husband and I aren't posting photos of our son's face on social media. We understand why other people do, but this is what's right for us.

Zinc, Ser, and BCAA act in concert to regulate synaptic signaling and the synaptic response. Left: Zinc is highly concentrated at synaptic vesicles and is co-released with glutamate. At the postsynaptic site, zinc induces condensate formation of the postsynaptic proteins and maintains dendritic spine morphology. Synaptic stimulation via the action of glutamate and D-Ser on ion channels activates downstream signaling and promotes protein synthesis, which is required for the long-term synaptic response and synaptic remodeling. BCAA enhances protein synthesis via activation of the mTOR pathway. Right: Mice are social animals that display complex social behaviors. Genetic mouse models have greatly advanced our understanding of the molecular functions of autism-associated genes. Credit: Tsan-Ting Hsu and Ming-Hui Lin.

Define #Streeting (v.):
To embolden an individual to transfer their unchecked online hostility into a physical, public confrontation.
The Internet’s poison is now on our streets.

Online anonymity rehearses hate.
#Streeting is the performance — taking racist, aggressive conversations and making them painfully, publicly real.
Say no to the normalization of bigotry.

“The dangerous normalization of hate: what’s accepted in a comment thread is acted out in the supermarket. We must recognize this phenomenon.”
Inspired by @gabyhinsliff.bsky.social’s piece on Meet Gen X.
#Streeting is the new front of the culture war.
