FDA scientists have been instructed to avoid using words like "woman," "disabled," and "elderly" in external communications, per a leaked list circulating within the agency.

The White House denies most words are banned but confirms restrictions on terms related to gender and diversity.

Scientists fear these limits will hinder medical research and public health efforts.

Maybe even better, when they were given a choice between a house or the whole village on fire, some people were like "yeah a flood will stop all this so I'm gunna just bank on one coming" even though there hasn't been any significant rain in a long whole.

In fairness, they did get at least a little flooding when that one dam was ordered to purge a not insignificant amount of water.
