At the heart of MAGA rage is the need to submit to authority:

*Totalitarianism is man's escape from the fearful realities of life into the virtual womb of the leader.

The individual's actions are directed from this womb - from the inner sanctum.

The mystic center is in control of everything; man need no longer assume responsibility for his own life.

The order and logic of the prenatal world reign.

There is peace and silence, the peace of utter submission.*

We can do big things that help people. We’ve done it before (rural electrification), we’re doing it right now (nationwide broadband, solar/battery buildout, & no more lead pipes), and we’re going to do A LOT more of it (clean and just energy transition for everyone).

Dear Editor

Project 2025!

Many of us are excited about giving up our freedoms in exchange for a society that looks a lot more like pre-reconstruction Alabama, as depicted in Gone with the Wind.

We love the idea that violence will be encouraged in racist police, women will be barefoot & pregnant, queers in camps, & the environment subject to the needs of billionaires, regardless of who starves or dies of thirst!

With so much to look forward to, why aren't you covering it?

I was starting to feel a bit better so I started a new stitching project but the last week of new neighbours & one of them being an extremely shouty male has me lacking in sleep & lacking in interest in it now. I might try a bit today just to keep going.

White aida with brown dots on it, with a blue hand-drawn grid on it. Cross stitches in blues, browns, greens, whites, oranges have been filled in to give a picture of tiled walks, plant, wine, oil, kettle, utensil holder & some mugs hanging. A magnet is in the centre of the fabric with a needle lying on it, which has blue thread threaded through the eye.

I've been very talkative today, just throwing out toots. I'm gonna head off and stich and maybe shut up a while 😆

How #Neuroinflammation May Be Knocking out the Muscles in Long #COVID, ME/CFS and Fibromyalgia - Health Rising

https://www.healthrising.org/blog/2024/07/22/neuroinflammation-muscles-long-covid-chronic-fatigue-fibromyalgia/

> It’s always seemed that both the brain and the muscles must be involved in diseases like chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS), fibromyalgia (FM), and #longCOVID. The question has always been how? A study just showed up could answer that question. The problem starts in the brain, is triggered by an infection or a toxin that produces neuroinflammation, and somehow finds a way to impact the ability of the muscles to produce energy (!).

Gigafact/Skeptical Science fact check for "are polar bears endangered by climate change?"

Text:

Are polar bears endangered?

Yes.

Most polar bear populations could become extinct by 2100 if our greenhouse gas emissions continue.

Polar bears are classed as vulnerable by the International Union for Conservation of Nature. They hunt seals, their main food source, from the Arctic sea-ice. Human-caused global warming has led to a rapid loss of that ice, making it harder for polar bears to catch enough prey to survive.

There are 19 subpopulations of polar bears. According to the World Wildlife Fund in 2021, 3 were in decline, 4 were stable, 2 were increasing, and 10 were data-deficient.

In 1973, the international community agreed to restrict polar bear hunting, which helps explain why the population is estimated to be higher today than it was in the 1970s. However, that does not change their long-term endangerment if the sea ice they require to hunt is allowed to continue to melt.

TRUMP INFANTILIZES HIS MAGATS BY PROMISING A BIGOTED UTOPIA

*In the totalitarian myth, the vague fantasy of the technically perfected womb, the ideal nirvana, plays a tremendous role. In a world full of insecurities, a world requiring continual alert adjustment and readjustment, Totalitaria creates the delusion of the omnipotent, miraculous ideal state -- a state where, in its final form, every material need will be satisfied.*

CrowdStrike Offers $10 Gift Card as Apology for Shutting Down Basically the Whole Earth


CrowdStrike, the cybersecurity firm behind last week's epic global computer meltdown — seemingly the largest IT outage in history — is offering its partners a hilariously inadequate mea culpa: a $10 Uber Eats gift card in apology.

It's a hilariously inadequate gesture for a slip-up that cost Fortune 500 companies more than $5 billion in direct losses, according to a new analysis by insurance firm Parametrix, and forced countless IT professionals to work around the clock over the weekend.

Adding insult to injury, at least some of the gift cards were "canceled by the issuing party" and were "no longer valid," according to TechCrunch.

“You are at risk. We are all at risk. Because this is what I know: bad things are coming. We are in a code red emergency.

Because misogyny isn’t bad people saying bad things that may hurt your feelings. (Though it might.) And misogyny isn’t about silencing women. (Though it does.)

Misogyny is now one of the deadliest weapons on Earth. Misogyny is a dirty bomb in the heart of our information system. Misogyny is electoral interference. Misogyny is a national security threat so lethal we can’t even see it.

Because misogyny is invisible. It’s never about all women, it’s always just about one particular, disagreeable woman who just happens to not be very likeable. Or competent. Who is loud or “shrill” or annoying or who got the job because she slept with a man. Or because she was a diversity hire. A woman who can’t even run her own house let alone a country. A woman who is “nasty”. A woman who isn’t and cannot be the strong leader a nation needs.”
