Good news from the British Election Study: there's no sign of the reported uptick in sexism among young British men Bad news: what's going on with middle aged men?
Chart showing the percentage of men and women of different ages who agree with all three statements:
1. Most women fail to appreciate fully all that men do for them
2. Women seek to gain power by getting control over men
3. Most women interpret innocent remarks or acts as being sexist

The chart shows that around 5% of both men and women aged 18 agree with all three statements. Among men, this rises to around 15% among men in their 20s and 22% among 35-45 year olds, before falling back to around 12% among 55-65 year olds. Overall 16% of men and 5% of women agree with all three statements

I think about this from @naomiaklein.bsky.social a lot. "Conspiracy theorists get the facts wrong but often get the feelings right." The sense that people are gaining wealth from human suffering while concealing reality is valid, but the root problem isn't evil people but the nature of capitalism.
Like my doppelganger projecting all of our surveillance fears on a vaccine app, conspiracy theorists get the facts wrong but often get the feelings right-the feeling of living in a world with Shadow Lands, the feeling that every human misery is someone else's profit, the feeling of being exhausted by predation and extraction, the feeling that important truths are being hidden.

I was just told that I have to remove “climate” from the title of an ongoing grant if I want to keep it. And publications from that grant cannot include “climate” and other forbidden words. I can’t believe I’m writing this from the United States of America. #AcademicSky

President Trump moved quickly on Monday to withdraw the U.S. from the World Health Organization, a move that public health experts say will undermine the nation’s standing as a global health leader and make it harder to fight the next pandemic. nyti.ms/4hilymo

Trump just withdrew the United States from the Paris Climate Agreement. The US now joins Iran, Libya, and Yemen as the only countries in the world not in the agreement.

I occasionally get into heated arguments with people who accuse me of anthropomorphising animal personality traits. But whatever form of attachment this video symbolises, to me, it does look strikingly like love

I have seen a lot of "news" stories about the current California fires as natural disasters. Southern California ecosystems are fire prone, but this event is a direct result climate change and management neglect. We need to change how we view these events, and the press is not helping.
