I read this book about 7 years ago - all that was documented, all it evidenced about what was building, the libertarian movement, who was behind it, why and how they were building influence... it's predictions are coming to fruition before my eyes every day

Great work by Bellingcat. If we don't get a handle on this stuff soon, I feel like we are going to see the deliberate breakdown of civilisation as we know it... I'm not saying some things don't need breaking and re-imagining, but not like this surely...
Russia's long running disinformation campaign on X is pumping out videos making all sorts of allegations about USAID, with Elon Musk and Donald Trump Jr, already resharing one of the video to millions of people, because they're too dumb to spot a disinfo op.

If we are thinking about how to defend ourselves we are probably in a form of flight/flight and will try to win/leave. We’re driving off a cliff and if no one grabs the wheel, we die. Learn to do the thing to be better (soothe your partner) rather than feel better (win)! #ans #coregulation #couples

Can't think of a better first post on here than to bring attention to International Men's Day. Violent crime, drug abuse, imprisonment, homelessness, isolation and so many more negative outcomes are overwhelmingly male issues.
