WHICH GENDER DIFFERENCES are “disparities” that must be addressed? And who should address them?
AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY: Uh, no, California's coffee is safe to drink. Prior posts on California's coffee cancer crusade are here and here.

It's the entire state of California that is high-risk to human life.
AS IF IT DOESN'T HAVE ENOUGH PROBLEMS: Los Angeles is painting the city streets white in bid to combat climate change.
WHEW! London police successfully get 'assault pliers' off the street.

Just in time....
TEMPLE UNIVERSITY FACULTY are trying to erase the gender binary system.

I agree: there are two sexes, male and female,and three genders, he, she, and it (with 'personal pronouns' to match).
JEFF JACOBY: The citizenship question isn't the only one the Census should scrap.

I disagree on the citizenship question. The sole original purpose of the census is to allocate seats in the House of Representatives; only citizens (and perhaps legal immigrants who have entered the naturalization process) should be counted. Illegals are burdens for the states to reckon with.

On the other points, I agree. Government, mind your own damn business. Whether or not I have the latest ecologically sound toilets is not your concern.
‘KIDS’ DEMANDING MORE GOVERNMENT suddenly not so happy with more government. 'Assault backpacks' have now been banned at Marjorie Stoneman-Douglas high school.

Be careful about what you demand ... you may get it.
ON RETIREMENT: Most people are ill-suited for endless leisure.

I'd prefer to be a 'failed retiree' but it's a bit too late for me.
ANOTHER NAIL IN THE HIGHER EDUCATION COFFIN: Students forced to confess their white privilege.

More here.
POOR CALIFORNIA -- Democrats are turning the state into a major nightmare.

IT'S A PROBLEM WHEN TRUMP REFUSES TO COOPERATE: Nancy Pelosi claims Robert Mueller was fired in bizarre fundraising email.

She's completely lost it and living in her own universe....
DEPAUW UNIVERSITY PROFESSOR JEFFREY MCCALL: CNN lost its way.

It's been going on for years before Trump became president, which is why I gave up watching CNN long ago.
LEAKED FACEBOOK 'UGLY TRUTH' MEMO about the social network’s growth sparks controversy.
“We connect people. Period. That’s why all the work we do in growth is justified. All the questionable contact importing practices. All the subtle language that helps people stay searchable by friends. All of the work we do to bring more communication in. The work we will likely have to do in China some day. All of it,” Bosworth wrote in the memo, according to Buzzfeed.

“So we connect more people,” he wrote elsewhere in the note. “That can be bad if they make it negative. Maybe it costs someone a life by exposing someone to bullies.

“Maybe someone dies in a terrorist attack coordinated on our tools,” Bosworth added. “The ugly truth is that we believe in connecting people so deeply that anything that allows us to connect more people more often is *de facto* good."

If you use Facebook, you're not a customer; you'e a product. And there's no warranty to protect you from the consequences.
VICTOR DAVIS HANSON: Mueller at the crossroads.

Of the four options Hanson posits, count on option 3. Option 4 has a likelihood approaching zero (from below).
