Data point for a turning point in Israel: Ehud Olmert was old-school Likud, then followed hardliner Ariel Sharon to Kadima. After Sharon's stroke, Olmert became PM & led the 2006 Lebanon War. It's behind a paywall. It's important to share it in this thread. ๐Ÿงต 1/ www.haaretz.com/opinion/2025...

It's often presented as a kind of conformity or groupthink to "trust the experts," but you do in fact need to do this to have a functioning society! What is the alternative? Every person researches every single issue of public concern themselves?

I wrote this. It's a piece derived from a larger research project about Israeli control over the Territories. As always, dm me for help getting around the paywall. www.haaretz.com/opinion/2025...

Pedantic PSA: the plural of "clitoris" is "clitorises". You can, if you're being really pedantic on Greek derivations, say "clitorides", but that tends to look like you've made a typo. "Clitori" is never correct.

A little bear figurine carved out of amber some 6,000 years ago ๐Ÿป โค๏ธ A hole runs through the bearโ€™s torso, suggesting it was threaded onto a cord and perhaps worn as a protective amulet. Discovered in a peat bog near Slupsk in Poland. ๐Ÿ“ท National Museum in Szczecin. #Archaeology

we kinda saw this coming, but it still feels like an interesting preview of what's about to happen with people not feeling the need to ask as many things in public

If someone has to be persuaded into having children, they shouldnโ€™t have them. Unpopular take but I stand by it.

Every Harry Potter book or shirt you buy directly funds the persecution of trans people. There's absolutely no excuse to support anything Harry Potter anymore unless you hate trans people.

โ€œon a weekly basis more than 90% of people use weather forecasts, job market reports, food safety warnings and other information that is based on federal science. But only 10% of respondents are concerned that cuts to federal support for science might impact their access to such information.โ€
