~85% of all measles cases in EU are in Romania. About 40% of Romanians hold antivaccine beliefs. Romania is also the country in which ~40% of the people have undemocratic propensities & where a pro-Putin extremist was seen as a god. He is now banned from running and another extremist is favourite.

Interesting! "We illustrate our argument through a discourse analysis of how mass death was produced as 'inevitable' (or not) during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic.. The politics of inevitability... provides the conditions in which certain policy choices become imaginable and/or desirable."

I have been calling far-righters, who have (i)moral panics about other people existing and fighting to have human rights, snowflakes. And I am argumenting politely why I call them that, so that they know. If before I was blocking far-righters, now these snowflakes are blocking me. Oh, well, ❄️.

No, russia's attack on Sumy wasn't 'a mistake.' No one accidentally uses a cluster munition warhead against a crowded city center on a major holiday. Neither was the bombing of the Kryvyi Rih playground a mistake, nor were the filmed murders of POWs. russia systematically uses terrorism as a weapon.

Morning Bluesky. Trump has backed his friend the war criminal Putin over the Russian attack on civilian centres in Sumy which killed 34 people including two children. Trump said: “I was told they made a mistake.” Russia has now bombed 1700 schools and 780 medical facilities in three years.

One of the most powerful forces in politics is the urge to destroy that from which you are excluded. This is why, in the highly unequal US, support for Trump holds up even as he trashes everything that makes a good society. Equality is key to preventing fascism. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

When the media and some pundits dishonestly put out this moral panic that neurodivergence diagnoses exploded and then throw some conspiracy theories as to why this happens, they ignore the fact that many people were left undiagnosed, especially girls, due to rigid and outdated diagnosis criteria.

Cybersecurity isn’t just technical—it’s psychological. Attackers exploit human behavior. Defenders rely on intuition, memory, and stress-based decisions. Understanding that psychology is essential to defending systems that are run by people.
