Rarely has popular wisdom been studied so extensively or documented so well. Wherever researchers go to study differences between men and women, the same pattern emerges. Men are more open to sex with strangers, more likely to commit adultery, less insistent on emotional intimacy as the foundation of a relationship–and less likely to talk about their feelings. Is this disparity simply an outgrowth of cultural traditions, as some psychologists maintain, or is it rooted in human biology?...

The build-up of pigeon excrement on the I-35W bridge was substantial enough to be noted in several Minnesota Department of Transportation inspections over the years, pointing to the steel box sections of the bridge as a popular nesting spot.

But the dung continued to pile up....

According to a Facebook post from the Voyageurs Wolf Project (VWP), which studies wolves and their prey in the Greater Voyageurs Ecosystem, the young wolf is displaying “little-to-no-fear” of people, which is unusual for these animals. “Some folks have tried to scare it off the road with little success,” the project said in the post. “The wolf is not acting aggressively toward people or anything like that. However, its indifference toward people over a several-day period is not normal behavior....

The breeding male wolf known as ‘P0C’ broke a record by killing 15 beavers in May, the Voyageurs Wolf Project said on Facebook. “The most beavers any wolf we have studied has killed in a single month! The next closest was Wolf V028 in 2018 who killed 10 beavers in October 2018,” the group said on Facebook. “That said, he did kill a deer in early May and then scavenged beavers that died of unknown causes on 4 occasions and scavenged deer carcasses on 8 occasions (many of these were likely kills made during winter)....

Barrett’s nomination and appointment has been criticized by Democrats, due to its proximity to Election Day, as well as issues over positions she might take on upcoming cases and the further conservative-slant she gives the court. Clinton turned 73 on the day of Barrett’s confirmation, and McConnell suggested she would be “so grateful” of it happening on her birthday. “It was a wonderful birthday president for Hillary Clinton to confirm Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court Monday night on her birthday,” he said at a recent campaign event....

McGrath, a former U.S. Marine Corps fighter pilot, denounced McConnell for the Senate’s failure to pass an additional pandemic relief package, saying he had focused on partisan politics over the best interests of Americans struggling during a national crisis.

Many scientists believe that mitochondria are an example of a longstanding symbiotic relationship, in which bacteria long ago merged with our cells so that both our cells and the bacteria became dependent on each other. We need mitochondria in order to process most of the energy our cells need to survive. The oxygen we breathe fuels a process that would be impossible without this little organelle. As intriguing as mitochondria are, they are susceptible to damage just like any other part of our body....

In a letter to Attorney General William Barr on Thursday, Romney and Lee accused Planned Parenthood and 37 of its affiliates of applying for and receiving $80 million in PPP loans. Romney said Planned Parenthood’s own political action committee, Planned Parenthood Action Fund, issued a statement on the CARES Act after the Act’s passage in the Senate, saying: “The bill gives the Small Business Administration broad discretion to exclude Planned Parenthood affiliates and other non-profits serving people with low incomes and deny them benefits under the new small business loan program....

Romney, a longtime target of former President Donald Trump and his most ardent GOP supporters, remarked Monday that “expelling Liz Cheney from leadership won’t gain the GOP one additional voter, but it will cost us quite a few.” The former 2012 GOP presidential nominee rebuked the recent public remarks of the top two House GOP lawmakers, Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy and Louisiana Rep. Steve Scalise. Both GOP leaders last week endorsed the challenging bid of New York Republican Elise Stefanik to take over Cheney’s third-position party role as House Republican Conference chair....
