It’s women like Halligan who give blondes such a bad reputation … Speaking as one, of course.

To me, the connection seems direct: he made those choices because he was in love with his own self-image as a man of great integrity, and that ethic of being immune to the temptations of the flesh like drinking and dancing is the sort of ethic that gets one to acquire that self-image.
I don’t wish him ill, and I certainly don’t want him convicted by Trump’s DOJ of a single charge.

@sab: Perhaps. Family systems theory distributes emotional health on a bell curve and asserts that we tend to match up with those who are as functional/dysfunctional as we are. On a scale of one to one hundred, a fifty would tend to look for someone in the 47-53 range. A sixty would avoid a forty like the plague; by the same token a sixty would terrify a forty.
So the question becomes, are attractive women especially dysfunctional, because they’re attractive mothers married emotionally unhealthy men? Or, to put it another way, is attractiveness negatively correlated with mental health?

This Hank Green video explaining the HHS autism press release should be front paged. I’ve done more than my fair share of similar ranting in disbelief at similar bullshit academic data in my career, and his explanation sounds dead on correct to me.
I will also add the Tylenol component. The Tylenol study they reference is what’s considered a correlation study. When you have too many variables at work (every possible medication/condition multiplied by every possible in vitro condition) correlation studies can help you figure out where to focus. They don’t even seek to find causation – they are designed to eliminate variables: ‘no correlation here’, also knowing damn well that such studies invite Texas sharpshooter fallacies. You will always get some number of positive correlations simply as a byproduct of running so many studies and randos will nutpick those studies and run with them. Same thing happened with cellphones causing cancer. They don’t cause cancer – cell phone usage has skyrocketed since that study.
Anyway, there are multiple studies that show that running high fevers during pregnancy increases autism risk as a genetics + environmental trigger. Hank also points to later in life pregnancies and maternal diabetes being linked. But if run a high fever during pregnancy, what are you most likely to do? Take Tylenol. That’s probably why the correlation is there – it’s not the Tylenol, it’s the thing you were taking the Tylenol for – the fever.
But Hanks biggest takeaway is I think the most correct one – the reason we’re going through this is that we’re being run by lawyers not scientists. And no disrespect to lawyers, but lawyers are advocates, and their job is to win, not to clarify (Trump isn’t a lawyer but his instinct is to win at all costs). Lawyers’ jobs aren’t really to follow the evidence, their job is to take all the information they have related to the case, organize the most damning and present it in a way that leads to a conclusion of causation (that’s true on both sides – a conclusion the individual is guilty or that the individual cannot be). It’s the opposite of what a scientists instinct should be. Lots of parts of government where that’s beneficial, but running HHS isn’t one of them.

@sab: I’d put Lee third, after Davis and Braxton Bragg.
Bragg doesn’t get the attention Lee does because the Virginia theatre overshadowed the fighting between the Appalachians and the Mississippi, and Lee actually won some battles. The Western theatre was as important militarily though, just not politically.
Braxton Bragg was a real drag on the Confederate Army there. Bragg was a very rigid commander. With the exception of Jefferson Davis, no one could get along with him.. Contemporaries said it was painful to watch Bragg struggle with a map. He was even worse with people.

@Martin: Insofar as the government goes, we’ve been run by lawyers for decades, if not generations. Most politicians are lawyers. Many Presidents have been lawyers. If anything, this administration is probably lower on lawyers than average,
And physicians participated in this travesty. Of course most physicians don’t really know much of the science.
So what was their particular motivation in this case. It wasn’t necessarily “winning.” A lot of the MAHA types were expecting vaccines to be blamed and got acetaminophen instead. So why did they run with this one study? My only speculation is that somebody, not necessarily BobbyJr himself, had decided that there must be a very simple answer and this was a simple answer to somebody who doesn’t even know the old saying “correlation isn’t causation.” But it’s still puzzling.

@Eyeroller: We’ve never to my knowledge had a head of HHS that was a lawyer over being a health professional. I think what you’re observing is that places where we would normally have competent lawyers we have incompetent Fox News hosts and where we would normally have domain experts, we have lawyers. I’m not saying lawyers are bad, I’m saying having Shohei Ohtani doing brain surgery is a bad idea, as is having a brain surgeon as Dodgers pitcher/DH.
Physicians didn’t participate in the report. The report was an analysis of prior scientific studies. None of those people participated in the report. The report is a work of analysis. Someone took the data from those studies, reworked it to generate a narrative. Anyone with a sufficient analytical skill and motive to generate the result could have done that. I could have produced that report. Would have taken a day at most with no assistance. The motive is the same motive we’ve been seeing for a while now – to reduce the complexity of the world. That’s what conspiracies seek to do. That’s what MAHA seeks to do. Why do our kids get autism? There’s been no clear answer to that question – and now there is. Tylenol. It’s wrong, but that doesn’t matter, so long as you trust them the world is simpler and more orderly. Eventually that lie will be revealed, but the plan is to keep stacking them up faster and thicker so that every time 1 falls away, 3 replace it. But they’re always the ones delivering. They get the credit. People get answers because that’s what we demand. That’s why we seek authoritarians, because they’ll stand up there and confidently tell us who is good and who is bad and why Covid happened and how to really treat it. If you trust them, or you need those answers, which is how some people came to Trump, you’re getting what you need – a world getting less complicated rather than more. They don’t care that it’s wrong. They can’t handle what it is now. I don’t think most people can. We just cope with that problem in different ways. That’s what QAnon did – provide answers. Wrong answers, but tons of them. Where’s QAnon now? No longer needed – the government is doing that job now.
