Military to screen troops for low testosterone, prompting medical caution

The US plans to require routine testosterone screening for male service members aged 30 and up, with the option to start testosterone replacement therapy if low levels and symptoms are present. Medical experts caution that aggressive screening can cause misdiagnoses, TRT carries risks like infertility and other side effects, and large‑scale military monitoring could be logistically challenging. The Pentagon has offered few details on implementation, and clinicians emphasize treatment should be tied to both low testosterone and clinical symptoms.

Marquee joke prompts Amazon to pull Melania screenings in Lake Oswego

A Lake Oswego theater canceled screenings of the Melania documentary after Amazon objected to a marquee joke based on a Sun Tzu quote. The theater had promoted the film with the line “TO DEFEAT YOUR ENEMY, YOU MUST KNOW THEM. MELANIA STARTS FRIDAY,” which Amazon reportedly did not find funny. The marquee was later updated with a different joke about the screenings being canceled. The documentary, which cost about $40 million for rights and roughly $35 million for marketing and debuted with about $7 million in ticket sales, will still stream on Prime Video after its theatrical run, and the theater plans to resume with other films next week.
