Zeta Phi Beta bans transgender women from membership
I never really understood the attraction of the Greek system anyway.
Zeta Phi Beta, a historically black sorority founded at Howard University, says transgender women are not eligible for membership. A “diversity statement” adopted by the Zeta Phi Beta International Executive Board on Jan. 12 states “an individual must be a cisgender woman” to join the organization. The statement at the same time says the sorority “values all people, regardless of race, age, gender, gender expression, ability, disability, creed, religion, or walk of life.”#trans #transgender #ZetaPhiBeta

The National Security Agency appears to have done a complete about-face over the controversial electronic spying program that whistleblower Edward Snowden brought to light almost six years ago now,…bgr.com

Is the USA trying to provoke World War III !?

First the Trump administration unilaterally smashed a multinational, UN-endorsed agreement, the JCPOA, or Iran nuclear deal. Now the waivers that magnanimously allowed eight nations to import oil from Iran without incurring imperial wrath in the form of sanctions will expire on May 2 and won’t be renewed.

Really sorry for tardiness this am and no tagmentation grenade! Internet still out. A first time experience for this time of day! I managed to get a live 24 hr support tech who predictably contradicted info provided by auto messaging. I.e who knows what’s actually going on except service to this general area is out! (Sigh)

Hand dryers v paper towels: the surprisingly dirty fight for the right to dry your hands | The Guardian Long Read
For a century, the humble paper towel has dominated public toilets. But a new generation of hand dryers has sparked a war for loo supremacyThis one is a long read, and will probably need more than one... um... sitting to get through. But it's surprisingly interesting and informative, and amusing in places. And there are ecological factors you might not have considered.
So, automatic hand driers or paper towels? I wash my hands of the whole subject.

"cloth-loop towels" - Gosh! I remember those. Haven't seen one in decades, though.
"they taught us not to pee on our hands" - good argument from the ladies, but simply not true when it comes to men, as there's often a small, invisible amount of spray given off.
@Peter Lindelauf "lowgiene" - 😁
I used the public toilets (as we call them here in the UK, which makes me think the author of the article isn't local) in a hospital a few years ago - one of the major teaching hospitals in central London. A guy came to the sink next to the one I was using, saw me washing under my fingernails and said, "Wow! You're hygienic! I don't even go that far and I work here."
"Yes," I thought, "and I bet you wonder how bugs like staph. aureus spread. This is one of those bacteria that can be carried (with no harm to the carrier) inside the nose. One doctor absent-mindedly picks his nose before doing ward duty and another patient dies.
It's still like it was in Victorian times. People really need educating.
Not that eating it would be a good idea though. But we do eat a lot of other radioactive stuff, like nuts and bananas.

Study Suggests Medical Errors Now Third Leading Cause of Death in the U.S… Physicians advocate for changes in how deaths are reported to better reflect reality. Analyzing medical death rate data over an eight-year period, Johns Hopkins patient safety experts have calculated that more than 250,000 deaths per year are due to medical error in the U.S. Their figure, published May 3 in The BMJ, surpasses the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC’s) third leading cause of death — respiratory disease, which kills close to 150,000 people per year.
