Kate Tolo Says Her Quest to Be'the Female Bryan Johnson' Is'for Women' Like her biohacking boyfriend, Tolo is undergoing a grueling regimen of tests--from tracking nighttime erections to subjecting herself to extreme heat on her period--in service of "half the population." Kate Tolo got her first period at 13--an experience she says left her lying prostrate on the floor, debilitated by cramps and breaking out into a full-body sweat. When she told her dad why she was home from school early, she remembers him saying, "We don't talk about that female stuff ." For most of her teenage years, that was how Tolo thought about her period--as something "you just didn't talk about." When she was in her early twenties and experienced extreme pain while defecating, sending her to the emergency room, a doctor suggested Tolo may have endometriosis, a chronic disease believed to affect an estimated 10 percent of women of reproductive age, according to WHO data.

Democrats have reacted angrily, encouraging Johnson to keep lawmakers on Capitol Hill before the midterm recess beginning on Friday.

US House Speaker Mike Johnson has rejected calls to pause artificial intelligence development, arguing that doing so could give China an advantage over the United States. "We cannot have a moratorium on the development of AI," Johnson told reporters on Tuesday. "Because then we will lose our edge to China, and that has serious national security implications for every American family." They don't need the government to tell them to slow it down. If they want to slow it down, they should," he said. His comments come as calls to rein in AI are growing across the political spectrum amid concerns about what the technology could mean for jobs, energy costs and public safety. Unlikely allies US Senator Bernie Sanders, a self-described democratic socialist, and Steve Bannon, a former adviser to President Donald Trump and prominent voice on the US right, both called for restrictions on AI on Tuesday, as they appeared at the same event in Washington. Sanders warned of what he called the ...

The car world is filled with designers still obsessed with shoehorning sex into their rides. Slate went a different route, and it's why people are smitten with the charming electric pickup. Tisha Johnson is a rare anomaly in the car world: a design leader for an automaker who is not a man. In a resolutely testosterone-fueled industry where, traditionally, women have seemingly been given positions of authority in design labs as long as they focus on interiors, colors, or material selections, very few have been afforded free rein on the most important visual element of the car, the exterior, let alone promoted to run the entire aesthetic show. As head of design at Slate, this gender-specific fact might be why the world has fallen in love with the Jeff Bezos-backed truck . Casual observers might put the Slate EV's popularity down to its low price. Starting at $24,950, the Slate arriving later this year won't just be the cheapest EV on the US market; it will also be the cheapest pickup truck of any power flavor.
