I hadn't come across ethnogenesis on here before I quickly searched it so it's interesting to see how frequently it seems to be used on X. Clearly it's orchestrated and it suggests a degree of organising that's alarming. Great read with a fair amount of historical background I didn't know.

Bluesky has become bizarre as a left wing journalist. Messages from people who say the Tories have done less damage to the country than this Labour government. Arguing the Left as a movement is defined by the Labour Party. It’s like a flood of Russian bots come to irritate and confuse.

Aux États-Unis, la ménopause reste largement absente des dossiers médicaux (et c’est un problème)
Une étude portant sur près de 240 000 dossiers médicaux aux États-Unis révèle que la ménopause y est rarement mentionnée. Ce manque de données freine la recherche et l’amélioration du suivi des femmes.

Britons kept in dark about scale of climate crisis, say viewers of ‘first-of-its-kind’ emergency briefing
Nine out of 10 people felt motivated to act after watching film outlining threats to food security, economy and public health The British government must be honest about the scale of the threat posed by climate and nature breakdown, researchers have said, after nine out of 10 people surveyed after watching a briefing on the issue felt more motivated to act. Last November, in the “first-of-its-kind national emergency briefing”, nine experts gave stark assessments in Westminster Hall in London of the scale of the changes needed in the UK to adapt to the rapidly changing climate and ecological landscape.
