Ну що, шановні, я сьогодні спеціально виділив пару годин вечірнього часу щоб накатати обіцяний та давно запланований тред.

Тому зустрічайте: великий, довгий, необрізаний, про ДБР.

Як завжди прямотоком з запаленої голови
Попередження: мене можуть видьорнути до якоїсь чергової задачі, або я просто можу не стягнути весь об'єм поставлених перед собою цілей, а тому тред може обірватись і продовжитись завтра-після завтра.

Але це не точно, тому що таки спробую все за один раз.

кароч хір ві гоу
На написання цього треду мене надихнуло те що десь місяця два назад законодавчий геній нєкого ЗАЛІЗНОГО ЄБАТЬ НАРДЕПА (кек) Жалізняка подав черговий проект реформи ДБР.

Реформи рівня /я художник я так бачу/ не інакше.

Інша геніальна пані-нардеп (не пам'ятаю прізвище тої жіночки) видавила з себе проект про ліквідацію ДБР. Як вона написала в своєму фейсбуці УКРАЇНСЬКОГО ФБР ЯКЕ НЕ ПРАЦЮЄ. Так, згідний, прикол не менше ніж ЖАЛІЗНЯК - ЗАЗІЗНИЙ НАРДЕП.

За ними в коментарі повилазило 100500 фахівців, які колись дивились CSI: Маямі та бачили всі сезони серіалу "Глухарь", тому точно знають про що пишуть. Підозрюю що і "Нюхач" вони дивились. Але не по телефізору, а в дзеркальці з якого той самий нюхач робили.

Тому вважаю своїм святим обов'язком для шанованої публіки пояснити що таке ДБР, з чим його їдять, в чому там справді системна проблематика в роботі, які є шляхи вирішення тої от проблематики і чого ДБР таки не ФБР. І ніколи тим ФБРом не мало бути навіть на етапі задуму.Image

🚨Major journal under fire for omitting Pfizer’s failed flu data in seniors

Pfizer’s mRNA flu shot failed in the over-65s, but the @NEJM never published the data — prompting calls for accountability.

STORY LINK 👇👇
@RobertKennedyJr @RetsefL
@newstart_2024 @maryhollandnycImage
This week, I reported that @pfizer's mRNA flu shot offered almost no clinical benefit in adults aged 18–64 compared to a traditional flu shot. blog.maryannedemasi.com/p/pfizers-mrna…

But that was not the full story. @NEJM did not publish any data from over-65s in the same trial — the very population most at risk from influenza and the main reason these vaccines exist.

When @RetsefL discovered the missing data, he was stunned. “It seems like the reason for omitting the older participants was because the results were not favourable for the studied mRNA vaccine.”

Levi said omitting this data was “unacceptable, especially since the over-65s are among the high-risk populations that influenza vaccines aim to protect.”Image
Dr Eric Rubin presided over the @NEJM decision to publish a Pfizer trial that omitted vital data, allowing a reputed journal to become complicit in the same selective reporting practices that have long undermined scientific publishing.

He also sits on the FDA’s Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee (VRBPAC) — the same committee that may one day review Pfizer’s biological licence application for this very product.Image

1/11 Joan, quan la Sílvia Orriols assenyala que el sistema de pensions actual és insostenible, no va desencaminada. El sistema de repartiment depèn que hi hagi molts actius pagant per pocs jubilats. Però això ja no és així: som menys, vivim més i cotitzem menys anys.
2/11 Això no és opinió, és matemàtica bàsica. Si cada cop hi ha més gent cobrant i menys gent aportant, el sistema no pot aguantar eternament només afegint pedaços. Algú ho havia de dir en veu alta, encara que incomodi.
3/11 I aquí ve la part incòmoda: l’edat de jubilació seguirà pujant. Arribarà un punt en què molta gent es morirà abans d’haver pogut gaudir del que ha estat cotitzant tota la vida. Per això em remeto a una frase que ho il·lustra:
“Els homenatges, en vida”

Bret Weinstein just said something that won’t leave my head:
For the first time in 300,000 years of human evolution, we removed the cost from the single biggest reward nature ever invented — sex and pair-bonding.

Reliable birth control + abortion = you can now cash the evolutionary lottery ticket without paying the 20-year mortgage of pregnancy, diapers, sleepless nights, and college funds.

Result? An entire generation of 18–35-year-olds walking around with the energy, libido, hormones, and protective instincts that evolution spent millions of years calibrating for child-rearing… but with zero actual children. That energy didn’t disappear. It got redirected.

Heather Heying’s observation is brutal: young women especially began treating ideologies the exact way evolution wired them to treat babies. Climate change, social justice, whatever the cause of the month is — it gets defended with literal mama-bear ferocity, the same neurochemistry that once guarded a toddler from predators now guards an abstract idea from wrong think.

And now Elon is promising the second shoe is about to drop: AI-driven abundance will make money as “free” as sex became in the 1970s. Both of evolution’s primary carrots — mating and resource acquisition suddenly cost almost nothing.

Weinstein’s ice-cold question: When producing and protecting actual children is no longer the central organizing principle of adult life… and when creating wealth is no longer required for status, security, or attracting a mate…What is left to give a human life direction, meaning, and structure?

Are we about to become a species that invents bigger and bigger dragons to slay just to feel alive? Or do we drift into total listlessness? This 3:52 clip is genuinely haunting.

Watch it all the way through, then tell me — honestly — does this explain the absolute intensity we’re seeing in culture right now, or is Bret completely missing something?

Real answers only. Quote-post if it hits you in the chest like it hit me.

Here is the truth, lifted from my manuscript.

They do not like boiling a color revolution down to a sequence for a few reasons among which:
1) The people participating tend to be siloed (civic engagement isn't the same as vote tabulation)
2) They depend on the veneer that color revolutions are totally organic

But this is the 7-step sequence which I reverse-engineered.Image

Textbook war crime/extrajudicial killing

"Two survivors were clinging to the smoldering wreck. The Special Operations commander overseeing the Sept. 2 attack ... ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions."

reporting by @AlexHortonTX @nakashimae Image
2/ "Killing any of the men in the boats 'amounts to murder,' said Todd Huntley, a former military lawyer who advised Special Operations forces for seven years at the height of the U.S. counterterrorism campaign."

washingtonpost.com/national-secur…
3/ "Even if the U.S. were at war with the traffickers, an order to kill all the boat’s occupants if they were no longer able to fight 'would in essence be an order to show no quarter, which would be a war crime,' said Huntley."

1/ Whatever the legality of the strikes as a whole, this incident is very clearly a war crime (if you accept that these are combatants).
2/ Specifically under the 1949 Geneva Convention:

"Rule 47. Attacking persons who are recognized as hors de combat is prohibited. A person hors de combat is:...

(b) anyone who is defenceless because of unconsciousness, shipwreck, wounds or sickness...
3/ "... provided he or she abstains from any hostile act and does not attempt to escape."

I expect that Hegseth and others involved will get a preemptive pardon from Trump eventually, but they might want to avoid travelling outside America for the rest of their lives.

@IranLionness Dear Sec Rubio;
Become sure that in the deportation of those IRGC terrorists, they won't come to the city of Szczecin Poland. The Szczecin city of Poland is the Capital city of the Global Caliphate. Unfortunately the police of Poland are in their hands.
Kick them directly to Iran

@CoreyJMahler Unfortunately they don't know that they will be slaughtered by their friends (Their real enemies) who are Islamists and their main funds come from Iran
These days are their last days of life. The people of Poland are really lovely and beautiful but unfortunately they fell in trap
@CoreyJMahler as a request, don't write anything which will annoy them, please.
You shouldn't annoy the people who will be killed by enemies soon.
If you can tell them that their main enemy is in Szczecin city, do that please.

follow the teachings of Jesus Christ please.

ガヤトリ・スピヴァックというフェミニズム研究者のテクストに、「サバルタンは語ることができるか」という短い、しかし難解な論文がある。そこで彼女が問題にしていたのは、私たちは被抑圧者(サバルタン)の声を聞き届けられるのかどうか、という問題だ。
@ishtarist そのテクストで、彼女が最後に論じたのは、20世紀初頭のインド人の女子学生の自殺の話だった。その学生は、政治的な闘争の中で、暗殺の任務を課せられていたが、それに葛藤を感じ、自殺した。その際、彼女は、わざわざ生理になるのを待ってから自殺したのであった。
@ishtarist 生理時を選んで自殺したのは、彼女が「コード」を書き換えようとしたからだ、とスピヴァックは考える。当時のインドでは、女性の自殺は「違法な恋愛の結果」であるみなされる。そして、寡婦殉死制度が残っており、そこでは「生理中は殉死してはならない」ことになっていた。
