📜 New paper out in @electoralstudies.bsky.social! If you've always found Norris and Inglehart's cultural backlash theory of far-right voting unconvincing, I can confirm your skepticism – at least in the European context. Here, it has both theoretical and empirical flaws. doi.org/10.1016/j.el...

We're two years into Trump 2.0 and virtually every instrument at the disposal of the United States has been repurposed against human rights, democracy, and international law. The "Arsenal Freedom" is now the (depleted) "Arsenal of Fascism."

The convergence on the USB-C standard, I believe the result of European regulation, is the ultimate solution to this problem

It's telling that men would rather try to invent tech to replace humans' role in caregiving than step up as equal partners in parenting. Telling, that is, in that it shows how financial capitalism and patriarchy work together to dissuade men from doing "unprofitable" labor, like the work of care.

X post from AI industry insider Alvin Sng :

My wife: Can you read our baby a book?
Me: I can just play an audiobook from my phone.
My wife: But then it won't be in your voice.
Me: I can train a voice model.
Parenting hits different when you work in Al.

Saying he'd be cool with Iran nuking my home city is pretty bad but not quite as bad as when Hillary said some trump supporters were deplorable so I can see why the media turned the latter into a major scandal and not the former

I think Volcarona is a cool Pokémon. She combines the concepts of "moth" and "flame" in a really compelling way that creates the rare bug type to be taken seriously.

Asked about Germany’s far right and the rise of the AfD, Pope Leo XIV says mixing far-right politics with religion is “not an authentic expression of Christianity.” The Gospel calls us to understanding and compassion.

Can't get numb to this: The United States is stuck in a war it started, cannot end, and may further escalate to no avail, having dismantled its diplomatic apparatus, depleted its military stockpile, and destroyed its credibility. A historic strategic mistake harming millions in many different ways.
