Les hygiénistes s’indignent que le vin jouisse d’un prestige culturel et dénoncent les méfaits de l’alcool.
On culpabilise le buveur pour son bien.
"Mon Dieu, protégez-nous de ceux qui nous veulent trop de bien !" dit Jankélévitch (1).
Et voyons ce que nous devons à Dionysos.🧶
L’alcoolisme est un problème qui ne doit pas nous faire oublier la fonction sociale des beuveries et les bénéfices de l’ivresse. Car c’est en trinquant ensemble que les hommes ont bâti des civilisations, et c’est en titubant qu’ils se sont engagés sur la voie du progrès.

British power grid on the verge of collapse due to Net Zero + Ukraine, turns to nuclear, shoots self in foot again by "recommending" > 50% workforce (+"asylum seekers," who can't legally work). US does this too of course. How do we strip out 100% of this from public contracts? Image
USG still has set-aside contracts for women and minorities, and often requires their own contractors to do the same (and so on through most of the economy because of how big the government is).

Honest question for @sagaftra and other actor supporters of California AB412: since actors don't hold copyrights, why support a bill that only gives registered copyright holders a cause of action? What chain of events leads from AB412 passing to actors' lives improving?
AB412 creates a new right for holders of registered copyrights. Actors are performers who don't typically own copyrights. Their performances are part of fixed works (films, audiobooks, etc.) that belong to studios, publishers, and other corporate copyright holders.
So, if AB 412 were to pass, neither actors nor SAG will have new rights against AI companies. Only their bosses will have those rights. As SAG knows better than anyone, bosses are not always aligned with workers when it comes to technology. (To put it lightly!)

A Stanford neuroscientist warns high cortisol wrecks memory, enlarges your fear center, and make your brain feel broken.

If I wanted to fix it naturally, I'd do these 8 things every day:

1. Walk barefoot on grass for 5–7 minutes.
Your feet contain ~200,000 nerve endings.

When they touch grass, soil, or sand, your brain receives rich sensory information from the body.

That sensory input can pull attention out of rumination and back into physical awareness.

That’s why a slow barefoot walk can feel so regulating.
2. Get sunlight in first 30 minutes upon awakening.

Cortisol naturally spikes 30-60 min after waking — to fuel the day.

Without morning light, the spike never crashes. It stays elevated by 2 PM.

Your brain stays bathed in cortisol it should've cleared hours ago.

That's why you feel scattered and unfocused.

*A Rejoinder to +972’s Recent Article: a Thread*

An article published yesterday in +972 Magazine on the “June 26 Movement” titled “‘Freedom, dignity, and a future’: Why Gazans are planning a mass mobilization” unfortunately elides the genealogy of the movement and whitewashes its exponents, who have been advocating for violent insurrection against Gazan police and civil servants for several months.

The +972 article initially correctly observing that the “June 26 Movement” shared much with the 2019 “We Want to Live” protests, but the author ignores that the leader of the latter, the Palestinian lawyer Mahmoud al-Natour, was an advocate of the ISIS-linked Abu Shabab gang, at whose campsite he lived during 2024. Not only that, but, through Joseph Braude’s “Center for Peace Communication”—which is closely associated with the UAE and which helped create the “Jusoor News” platform—al-Natour has functioned as a media vessel to encourage Arabic and Middle Eastern countries to normalize with “Israel,” lauding the Abraham Accords. After years of advocating for anti-resistance violent actions and whitewashing the collaborator militias, Natour eventually left Gaza for Italy. Fox News, Bari Weiss’ Free Press, and Joseph Braude’s “Peaced Off” pro-normalization podcast have given him and the militias positive coverage. Figures close to Natour who are also based in Europe—and, incidentally, hold positions within Fatah and the PA leadership—now lead the “June 26 Movement,” which is the same network’s brainchild.

Contra what the author of this +972 article claims, the “June 26 Movement” was not peaceful in its conception. Its proponents, from the beginning, advocated attacking the resistance, police stations, and Hamas officials with knives and weapons. Figures like Ramzy Herzallah have close ties to Ghassan al-Dahini, who now heads the Abu Shabab Gang and formerly was an operative within Jaysh al-Islam (the self-proclaimed Al Qaeda representative in Gaza). Al-Dahini helped Herzallah leave Gaza. The “June 26 Movement” was not co-opted by such figures, as the article claims—they are interwoven into the plexus of its foundation. It is not a coincidence that Bezalel Smotrich and former Shin Bet director Avi Dichter have encouraged the “movement.”

The +972 article characterizes one of the movement’s early advocates, Amjad Abu Kush, as a “Gazan activist and vocal Hamas critic.” Kush, based in Belgium, is a much more pernicious figure. He has participated in several European cultural exchange programs that advocate for economic normalization between “Israel” and Arab countries and the widening of the Abraham Accords, such as the Arab Council for Regional Integration. It was recently revealed that Kush received funding from Zionist organizations. Kush is also a Jusoor News contributor. A Belgian investigation in December 2022 found that his own media platform that he founded in 2020 received a grant from a European organization linked to Dutch intelligence.

The article also claims that Abdul Ati, another prominent and inaugural “June 26 Movement” supporter is a mere “Hamas critic” and “activist.” Abdul Ati is based in Egypt. He frequently appears in the UAE-bolstered Jusoor News and other Zionist media, advocating for normalization. He has repeatedly called for violence against Gazan police since the beginning of his digital activism. He has gone as far as advocating for knife attacks on Hamas officials. Just a few days ago, Ati published the names of Gazan police officials, facilitating their targeting by the “Israeli” military. Abdul Ati has lionized the Abu Shabab militia using his website, “al-Muwatin,” where he presented the collaborator gangs and the “New Rafah” post as a model for post-Hamas governance and the Board of Peace “New Gaza” program.Image
The following Gazan clans, tribal bodies, mukhtars, and lijal al-Silah/reconciliation committees have denounced the "June 26 Movement": the National Gathering of Palestinian Tribes, Clans, and Families; the Qatatwa Tribe Youth Council; the al-Buheisi family; the Bakr family (through Mukhtar Abu Fadi Bakr); the Dughmush family (through Mukhtar Azmi Daghmash); the Helles family (through Mukhtar Rashad Helles); representatives of the Qatatwa tribe; Abu Ahmad al-Fajm (as a notable of the families of Khan Yunis); the mukhtars and senior notables of Gaza's families and clans collectively; and numerous local reconciliation figures (Lijan al-Islah) and tribal/community leaders acting under the umbrella of Gaza's families and clans.

H100 ornn index spot prices are falling, now at $2.42 per hour, roughly 40% below the May peak. The ecosystem is concerned that this is a sign that compute demand and by extension the appetite for AI is waning. (1/5)🧵 Image
The important signal is that this is likely a spot price index not term pricing. Our neocloud survey for 1-year H100 contract prices have isntead climbed from a trough of roughly $1.70 per hour late last year to about $2.65 per hour today. (2/5) Image
Spot and on-demand markets are where buyers run POCs, one-off evaluations, burst workloads, and capacity overflow. They can be useful when taken as part of a dataset but are not reflective of where production economics are set. Contract pricing is where sustained workloads show up with the intention of planned, recurring, revenue-bearing inference or training demand. (3/5)

One of the saddest patients I see is a young person with a massive brain hemorrhage after a night of heavy drinking.
Most people don't realize alcohol can rupture a blood vessel in the brain.

Alcohol and Brain Hemorrhage: What Everyone Should Know
Most people know that alcohol can damage the liver. Far fewer know it can also trigger a brain hemorrhage, a type of stroke that carries a high risk of death and disability.

Here is a thread with details of current evidence. Bookmark this for future reading and share for wider public awareness.
1/n
A brain hemorrhage (intracerebral hemorrhage) occurs when a blood vessel inside the brain ruptures and bleeds. It accounts for only 10–15% of all strokes, but causes nearly half of stroke-related deaths.
2/n
High blood pressure is the biggest risk factor.

🔸But alcohol itself is also an independent risk factor, whether or not someone has hypertension.
🔸It increases the risk through multiple mechanisms.

1/8 The Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas published the most rigorous study ever done on unauthorized immigration's economic impact.
The findings are devastating — and the mainstream press buried them.
A thread. 🧵 Image
2/8 Between 2021–2024, 7 million unauthorized immigrants entered the U.S.
That's 1.75M per year — nearly DOUBLE the rate of legal immigration.
The prior decade average? Essentially zero.
This was not gradual. It was a shock.
3/8 For every 1% increase in unauthorized immigrant workers in a local market:
🏠 Home prices: +2.2%
🏢 Rents: +1.4%
💰 Wages: -0.87%

All three. Simultaneously. Causally established.

Med students, listen up! Today let me explain how to analyze a Liver Function Test (LFT) step by step.
​Stop looking at isolated HIGH or LOW flags on a lab report. You need to look at the patterns. Here is how you actually read an LFT panel like a CONSULTANT 👇 (1/10)
Hepatocellular Injury (AST & ALT)
Look at the ratio and the absolute numbers:

• Mild rise + ALT > AST: Think MAFLD. Extremely common incidental finding.

• Modest rise + AST:ALT > 2:1: Alcoholic hepatitis. (Alcohol depletes B6, which limits ALT synthesis). (2/10)
• Massive Elevation (>1000 U/L)
This is a medical emergency indicating widespread hepatocyte death.

Causes: Ischemic Hepatitis, Acetaminophen Toxicity or Acute Viral Hepatitis. You must track the kinetic spike and drop over 24-48 hours (3/10)

A small plane crashes into a 109-story skyscraper in Beijing, sending debris down the building's side.

Local reports say the pilot Liu Junhua was conducting a solo flight in the local airspace, took off from Shifosi Airport at 17:30, and at 17:40 prepared to return for landing. While joining the westbound route for Runway 18, the aircraft did not join the approach, deviated from the local airspace and continued flying on a constant heading of 270 degrees.

It took me 8 years of overthinking, burnout, and self-judgment to realize what I’m about to tell you in 2 minutes.

This is how neurodivergent minds - the anxious, the hyper-focused, the “too intense” ones - were never broken:
You were never distracted. You were just paying attention to everything. The way light hit the wall. The sound someone’s voice made when it cracked. The silence between their words. Your brain runs like an 8K camera with surround sound - overwhelming, yes, but also what makes you a world-class observer. You don’t miss details because your nervous system is the detail.
You don’t think linearly. You think cinematically. Flashbacks, parallel plots, emotional B-roll - your mind cuts, pans, and overlays constantly. It’s not chaos, it’s editing. You’re not “too much.” You’re just trying to direct a story that runs 12 frames faster than the rest of the world can see.

I gather that in the eyes of some of the leader writers at the Economist the collapse of German exports to China (down a pp of German GDP led by autos) doesn't have anything to do with today's announced layoffs at VW ...

1/ Image
It is quite clear in the data that Europe's auto exports to China tanked over the course of 2024 and 2025, and imports from China soared in 25 ...

2/ Image
and that, combined with competition with China in third party markets across a range of manufactured goods, is an important reason why euro area export growth has stalled

1) La izquierda en el Gobierno predica y practica la cohesión social. Hay que darle la vuelta a esto, poner el conflicto social en el centro del terreno de juego.
2) El conflicto debe organizarse, tanto sindical como políticamente. Hay que trabajar en una nueva forma de partido o movimiento que garantice la radicalidad, pero también la perdurabilidad.
