When my doctor asks about my sexual activities and soon after asks if I’m married, my first instinct is to get defensive. However, one expert has explained why these questions occur and, well, I stand corrected.

Research shows that race and racism can be major contributing factors to this disparity.”AdvertisementAs for why doctors ask if you’re married...

The Met Office Has Issued Their White Christmas Verdict
All practicalities aside, isn’t the thought of waking up to snow on Christmas day just a bit magical? Especially if, like me, you enjoy a quite Christmas at home and don’t have to travel anywhere on the big day. However, according to the Met Office, some parts of the UK are more likely to see a snowy Christmas day this year. Unfortunately, it looks like most of us will not get to enjoy a snowy Christmas. Even if it’s not a white Christmas, a festive period with frost and less rain may be a welcome change for many.”Advertisement

House Democrat Hits Trump With Nothing But Receipts Over His 'Phenomenal' Health Care Fail
on Wednesday read from a laundry list of President Donald Trump’s failed promises to deliver a new health care plan to replace the Affordable Care Act. In remarks on the House floor, McGovern checked Rep. Virginia Foxx (R-N.C.) moments after she declared that Republicans “have always proposed alternatives” to the ACA framework. Advertisement“But the truth is they’ve always said they have a plan but they’ve never had a plan,” McGovern said. He zoomed through more of Trump’s claims in the years since that a “really terrific,” “great,” “fantastic,” “phenomenal,” “full and complete” health care plan that’d be “so much better” than Obamacare was on the way. All you want to do is undermine health care for hardworking, average Americans.”LMAO McGovern is on fire right now 🔥🔥🔥 — Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2025-12-17T15:08:36.513ZAdvertisementOn Wednesday, the House passed a GOP health care bill that didn’t include an extension to soon-to-expire enhanced ACA subsides, legislation the Senate is unlikely to take up.

Crimbo Is Cringe-O – What Brits Think Of Other Names For Christmas
I think it’s time for us, as a society, to move on from saying Crimbo. Nearly half of Brits agree that ‘Crimbo’ is crapAccording to new data from YouGov, 46% of Brits dislike this word, too, with older people disliking it in particular. However, it isn’t the least popular alternative name for Christmas which goes to, bafflingly, ‘Crimble’. As a lifelong Beatles fan, I’m afraid I do have to denounce this and so do 68% of Brits who dislike or hate the term. We don’t care either way about them apparently with 39-44% neither liking nor disliking either Christmas substitute.
