"Anna’s discomfort with the right’s #sexism grew throughout the early 2020s, especially after Elon Musk purchased Twitter and began rewarding the most outrageous and offensive posters. “Over time, the language of #NewRight #misogyny got way more tuned in to red-pill-type stuff,” she says. Among young #MAGAmen, there ceased to be a huge difference between self-understood trads — #Christians who tend to (patronizingly) venerate women’s special contributions to family and religious life — and rageful incels, who see women as conspirators in a plot to deprive them of sex and status.
Both groups, Anna says, came to see women as “these objects you can use at will. So if you want a #marriage, if you want a lifelong ‘bang maid,’ then you can pursue that. And if you want to just have endless hookups, you can pursue that by using these dating tactics within the #redpill sphere.” Men in the movement who rejected these ideas were nonetheless hesitant to criticize others. “The principle was ‘No enemies to the right,’” Anna says. “So normal conservative men — the good husbands and self-understood nice guys — refused to police the vanguard.”

"It feels as if the whole world has been transformed into images of the world and has thus been drawn into the human realm, which now encompasses everything. There is no place, no thing, no person or phenomenon that I cannot obtain as image or #information. One might think this adds substance to the world, since one knows more about it, not less, but the opposite is true: it empties the world; it becomes thinner. That’s because knowledge of the world and the experience of the world are two fundamentally different things. While knowledge has no particular time or place and can be transmitted, experience is tied to a specific time and place and can never be repeated. For the same reason, it also can’t be predicted. Exactly those two dimensions—the #unrepeatable and the #unpredictable—are what #technology abolishes."

"The proper way to talk about what I’m doing is to say that I use fitness trackers to “pace.” #Pacing is an energy management technique that involves balancing periods of activity with periods of rest to avoid physical and mental overexertion. The idea behind the practice is that by carefully planning and prioritizing the tasks and activities you do throughout your day, people with energy-limiting conditions like mine can avoid falling into a cycle of repeated crashes or worsening symptoms. Pacing isn’t a cure or even a way to improve your overall condition, at least not inherently. But for many people with these conditions — folks with #MECFs (#LongCovid or formerly referred to as “#chronicfatigue”), #POTS, #fibromyalgia, or even #Parkinson’s, for example — pacing can make life a little more predictable."

"Isso é loucura.
O Secretário de Estado dos #EUA, #MarcoRubio, acabou de fazer um dos discursos mais explicitamente #prócolonialista que já vi no século XXI.
O império dos EUA quer que a Europa a ajude a recolonizar o #SulGlobal.
Rubio elogiou os colonialistas ocidentais por "se estabelecer novos continentes, construindo vastos impérios que se estendem por todo o mundo".
Na sequência Rubio reclamou da #descolonização do Sul Global, retratando-a como uma sinistra trama comunista."

"The #blockade is working on the compliant fleet. Traffic has dropped to 7 to 11 vessels per day from a pre-crisis norm of 140. That is a 93 percent reduction. Ships with insurance, flag-state registration, and Western port access are turning around. The deterrence is real.
But the shadow fleet does not carry insurance, does not need Western port access, does not recognize flag-state accountability. It is already sanctioned, already uninsured, already outside the system the blockade enforces. For these vessels the marginal cost of #defiance is zero because every penalty has already been applied."

"…#Democrats’ unrequited pursuit of #bipartisanship can lead them to undermine their legislative initiatives. But the [#broadbandpolicy] story #EzraKlein shared absolutely doesn’t support the thrust of #Abundance or the themes of the wider #Abundancemovement.
In fact, the takeaway from the broadband tale is that the biggest obstacles to efficiency and abundance are often #corporatepower and its #corruptinginfluence on our politics — factors typically downplayed or unmentioned in the Abundance Discourse."

"Por que o #funk é tão presente nas paradas de #streaming?
"O funk é baseado em singles, dificilmente um artista faz um álbum. Eles produzem centenas de músicas e postam nas #plataformas —semanalmente sempre tem algum funk novo", explica Eduardo Vicente, da #ECA—USP.
Para #bombar, fazem clipes e investem em #influenciadores. "Geralmente há investimento para que pessoas famosas na internet criem dancinhas ou insiram as músicas em seus vídeos para gerar repercussão"."

"#Pakistan is that #mediator because it is the only country on earth that simultaneously borders #Iran, hosts Chinese economic infrastructure through #CPEC, maintains a functional military relationship with #Washington, operates its own nuclear deterrent, and has a civilian government and army chief aligned on the same diplomatic objective. No other nation occupies that intersection. Not Turkey. Not Egypt. Not Qatar. Not Oman. Pakistan is the only node in the network that connects all four principals: the United States, Iran, China, and Israel through Washington."

#FábioFelix: “Turbulência na investigação do caso #MasterBRB beneficia #Ibaneis e dificulta apuração”
"Em entrevista ao ICL Notícias na manhã desta sexta-feira (13), o deputado distrital Fábio Felix (#PSOL) afirmou que a crise em torno da relatoria do #casoMaster no Supremo Tribunal Federal (#STF) acaba favorecendo o governador do Distrito Federal, Ibaneis Rocha (MDB), e outros envolvidos no escândalo que atinge o Banco Master e o Banco de Brasília (#BRB)."

"warming seawater intrudes between coastal ice sheets & the ground they rest on…expanding the cavities further in a #feedbackloop. This water then lubricates the collapse of ice into the ocean, pushing up #sealevels.
a “very small increase” in the temp of the intruding water could lead to a “very big increase” in the loss of ice—ie, #tippingpoint behaviour."

"#Mastodon’s current leadership is trying to move away from [#centralization at Mastodon.social].
In this newer model, the server boundary becomes a social boundary, and your experience of Mastodon is supposed to be shaped by the community you joined rather than just by who you follow across the wider network.
Instead of one network with distributed infrastructure, it is a network of networks where each node has meaningful social coherence. #Newsmast, a UK-based organization building ActivityPub infrastructure for publishers and communities, is pushing this further by creating branded apps on top of individual server #communities that combine #community feeds with a publisher’s content. The logical conclusion of their approach is one app per community, with federation as the connective tissue between them."

"When the #GreenRiver carved through the #Uinta Mountains, it fundamentally changed the landscape of #NorthAmerica. Rather than flowing eastwards into the Mississippi, it became a tributary of the Colorado River, and its waters were redirected to the Pacific.
This rerouting altered the continental divide, the line that divides North American river systems that flow into the Atlantic from those that flow into the Pacific. In doing so, it created new boundaries and connections for wildlife and ecosystems.
The story of the Green River shows that processes deep within the Earth can have profound impacts for life on the surface."

"The #asteroid #Bennu continues to provide new clues to scientists’ biggest questions about the formation of the early solar system and the origins of life. As part of the ongoing study of pristine samples delivered to Earth by NASA’s #OSIRIS-REx (Origins, Spectral Interpretation, Resource Identification, and Security-Regolith Explorer) spacecraft, three new papers published Tuesday by the journals Nature #Geosciences and Nature #Astronomy present remarkable discoveries: sugars essential for biology, a gum-like substance not seen before in astromaterials, and an unexpectedly high abundance of dust produced by supernova explosions."

"Almost a century ago, a pioneering American #sex researcher named Katharine Bement Davis challenged the prevailing view that respectable women did not—and should not—experience #sexualdesire or have sex, except to please men or to have children.
Davis's 1929 book, "Factors in the Sex Life of Twenty-Two Hundred Women," completely upended this thinking.""

The official U.S. government website has quietly removed Sections 9 and 10 of Article I from the #Constitution.
Let me say that again:
They didn’t amend the Constitution.
They didn’t debate it in Congress.They just erased two of the most #protective sections; the ones that deal with #habeascorpus, limits on federal power, and Congress’s sole authority to set tariffs.

"Like any good #capitalistThinker, Austrian economist #FriedrichHayek had a Book of Genesis–esque prehistoric parable for his followers. In #HayeksBastards: Race, Gold, IQ, and the Capitalism of the Far Right, historian Quinn Slobodian terms this fable “the savanna story.” It went like this: in the beginning, human beings lived in small, tight-knit collectivist groups that necessarily had to prioritize #cooperation and shared interest. As society grew, trade expanded, and new social orders developed, human beings came to care less and less about each other. “Mass mutual #indifference,” Slobodian sums up, “was the secret to sustaining human civilization.”

Is #chainofthought #Reasoning of #LLMs a Mirage?
"... Our results reveal that #CoT reasoning is a brittle mirage that vanishes when it is pushed beyond training distributions. This work offers a deeper understanding of why and when CoT reasoning fails, emphasizing the ongoing challenge of achieving genuine and generalizable reasoning.
... Our findings reveal that CoT reasoning works effectively when applied to in-distribution or near
in-distribution data but becomes fragile and prone to failure even under moderate distribution shifts.
In some cases, LLMs generate fluent yet logically inconsistent reasoning steps. The results suggest that what appears to be structured reasoning can be a mirage, emerging from memorized or interpolated patterns in the training data rather than logical inference.... Together, these findings suggest that LLMs are not principled reasoners but rather sophisticated simulators of reasoning-like text."

"There is perhaps no organization with a better reputation among #leftists around the world than the #MST. Its admirers will tell you that the group has managed accomplishments that elude #progressive movements elsewhere: It maintains a radical approach, pushing for revolution in the long term while providing homes and incomes for working-class #Brazilians in the short; it has adapted to shifting conditions without suffering major rifts; and it fought to get Luiz Inácio #Lula da Silva, Brazil’s once and current president, out of prison in 2019 and back into power, all while keeping its independence from the ruling #WorkersParty."
