Saw Unherd.com mentioned, a "bold thinking" site that among other things has this essay on Ezra Pound: unherd.com/2025/12/ezra... Pound was an awful anti-semite who somehow escaped accompanying Mussolini and Petacci in Piazzale Loreto, but you wouldn't know that from the essay.

I made in 2017 mimicking a Scientific America Style article on the birthdate topic. This article notes the commonest birth period is late September/ early October, but does not note the gestational relationship to the topical Christmas/ New Years period.

It's Trump policy that U.S. tech must be globally dominant.
It's also US policy that its tech corps must be free from:
Regulation. Taxation. Fact checking and monitoring for hate lies, disinformation.
All are now being treated as attacks on the U.S. itself.

I don't think people realize how hard the US food & farm sectors are declining to do the work of feeding humans.
Feeding livestock is just way easier. So that's what they're doing.

Imagine interviewing a victim of torture and independently confirming the details of his torture and then being told you can’t broadcast it because the people who ordered the torture wouldn’t give their side of the story.

The president illegally sent innocent legal residents of the country to an overseas concentration camp, & he & all of his ministers remain in office. This is the total failure of a political system. It’s not just that we’re not actually a democracy. Our institutions are totally non-functional.
