1./ Why are our political elites SO obsessed with gender identity issues, and trans rights? One answer comes from Malta, the LGBTQ+ movement's poster child, where an inquiry has just accused the tiny nation's entire political class of enabling a murder. 👇theguardian.com/world/2021/jul…
2./ Ever since the election of a Labour government in 2013, Malta has pioneered radical LGBTQ+ policies including Self-ID of gender. Malta's adoption of such policies was sold as the new global benchmark others should reach. Uncritical plaudits rolled in.👇time.com/4597632/malta-…
3./ But had these policies really been thought through? When journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia was assassinated, in 2017, leading politicians were accused of involvement and being linked to gangsters. Did the LGBTQ+ movement or its "allies" pause for thought? What do you think? 
Why are rapes of dalit/adivasi women never declared as the "rarest of rare" cases?

When the "Nirbhaya" rape took place in Dec 2012, former Chief Justice Leila Seth was bewildered by the gruesome nature of the crime. The doctor involved in examining the victim admitted she had never seen anything so ruthless in her entire career.

The case was considered “rarest of the rare” in the court of law since it had shocked the collective conscience of the people owing to “the manner of commission of the murder, the motive for commission of the murder...
We know the vaccines out there reduce the spread of Delta COVID-19. They do not eliminate spread; they reduce it. We know this because of simple math. /1
If the vaccine did not stop COVID spread at all, we would expect the number of new cases to be directly proportional to the number of unvaccinated people. That’s *not* what we’re seeing. I will give just two datapoints. /2
MA has about 28% unvaccinated, and 9.5 new cases per 100,000 population per day. FL has about 44% unvaccinated, and 75 cases per 100k population/day. So, getting vaccinated protects you and protects those you contact, not perfectly, but it does reduce spread. /3

Dozens were killed after clashes between Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan in April, the most violent confrontation in years.
A disputed border and local politics are often described as being at the root of tensions. But is changing climate also playing a role? bellingcat.com/resources/case…
A disputed border and local politics are often described as being at the root of tensions. But is changing climate also playing a role? bellingcat.com/resources/case…
Data indicate less rainfall, lower ground temperature, and poorer vegetation health in the year preceding the clashes.
While this doesn't suggest climate or water availability was the sole cause of April’s crisis, it is a correlation which warrants serious scrutiny.

An analysis remote sensing data shows that just a few years of disruptions to the climate on the Kyrgyz-Tajik border has decreased water availability, hurt agricultural yields and increased plant stress.
Whatever happened (rift in LJP), Chirag Paswan continues to be the leader of LJP. Yes, I want them...(to be together): RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav, when asked on Chirag Paswan-Tejashwi Yadav alliance in Bihar
We were about to form govt in Bihar. I was in jail but my son Tejashwi Yadav fought them (ruling alliance in the State) alone. They cheated and defeated us (RJD) by 10-15 votes: RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav

Why the ongoing mass vaccination experiment drives a rapid evolutionary response of SARS-CoV-2 geertvandenbossche.org/post/why-the-o…
Summary of the Article by a Vaccine Researcher @GVDBossche
As Sars-CoV-2 entered a highly susceptible human population, it has initially been spreading rapidly and in an uncontrollable way.
As Sars-CoV-2 entered a highly susceptible human population, it has initially been spreading rapidly and in an uncontrollable way.
This already explains why Sars-CoV-2 has been evolving rather slowly with no substantial selection of fitness-enhancing mutations occurring over the first 10 months of the pandemic (i.e., between December 2019 and October 2020).

"As part of this, KISS signed indemnity agreements with the parents of each child, consenting to their study at the institution. Vedanta, in turn, agreed to sponsor a hundred children until they complete the tenth standard, at the rate of Rs 20,000 per child per year."

Excess mortality - increase of the all-cause mortality expected mortality based on historic trends, has long been used to estimate the death toll of pandemics and other extreme events. From the 17th century at least up to more recent events like Hurricane Maria in 2017.

No matter how estimate are made, they require data on all cause mortality. In #WorldMortality Dataset we have collected data from over 100 countries and territories from all corners of the world.

Yesterday I wrote a thread about people's increasingly fractured political preferences. I said that we were becoming less easy to please, and that this made it increasingly difficult for political parties to craft a message with broad appeal. 1/16
The thread got a lot of very interesting responses, for which 🙏.
A lot of the responses, perhaps unsurprisingly, said that some form of proportional representation was the answer. 2/

I'm a big fan of PR. But if the problem is that political preferences are ever more fractured, I don't think that PR does anything more than move, rather than solve, the problem. 3/
