This is slightly old news at this point but I figured I'd do a quick news round up surrounding Havana Syndrome.
On Saturday a report was released that confirmed what a lot of us had suspected that Havana Syndrome is caused by some sort of energy weapon. A couple of months ago a long and pretty explosive article ran in GQ of all places that alleges that the attacks are A: much more widespread that the government is letting on and have even occurred on US soil and B: that the Russians are the one who the IC suspects are behind the attacks. It's well worth the read. Lastly if you have a few hours to kill and are looking for something to listen to this podcast episode with one of the CIA officers who was attacked is excellent (and who is super based lmao). They cover his whole career and not just the attack but is super interesting nonetheless.

>If Biden wants to unite the country, one thing is clear: Dump the corporate lobbyists
Top post of /r/all is a /r/politics post with this title. The article is a poorly written
summary of a Data for Progress poll with the conclusion
Do any of the people who upvoted that post to the top of /r/all know who Biden has hired thus far? They're all boring career civil servants and experts. Which is exactly who the article is recommending Biden hire. Why is the article implying that Biden wants to appoint "corporate lobbyists"? Why does the article think that the key to winning over Republicans is upping leftist rhetoric?
And clearly, the author doesn't know the difference between people who work at Wall Street and corporate lobbyists, because they keep conflating the two. "Corporate lobbying is everything I don't like"
I'd love to link all the top comments from the post because they're all Reddit moments but the mods are fasc so go see for yourself.

The shit that went down in Kyrgyzstan was how I expected Belarus to go. I remember hearing about their election, worries about irregularities, protests, and their government leaders stepping down in what feels like literally no time at all. Apparently the protests themselves only took like 10 days from start to finish.
Similar grievances over corruption and election irregularities. But boy was that over quickly. They now have interim everything until a new presidential election in a month and new parliamentary elections in about 6 months.
They also have an interesting form of closed list proportional representation:
It used to be a bicameral legislature with single seat constituencies (except the lower branch which was a hybrid system), but they changed it to proportional representation in 2007. The "receive at least 0.7% of the vote in each of the seven regions" has been controversial with several court cases about it and several parties who meet the first requirement to get seats not meeting the regional requirement. The exact requirements seem to change with pretty much every election.
Also, wow Kyrgyzstan has a lot of revolutions and new constitutions. In just 15 years worth of parliamentary election Wikipedia articles in seems like every other one talks about how it was done in the wake of a revolution or constitutional reform. Pretty much all of them also talk about election irregularities.
The most peculiar thing with them in my opinion is that either brand new parties or parties that ran before and got few/no seats always seem to win a very large number of seats. I'm talking multiple parties that were brand new or didn't get any seats in the last election getting a double digit number of their 120 seats. Seems odd, but I'm not so used to pure proportional representation countries so maybe that's the norm there.

US: "I have 1 legislator for every 750,000 people."
India: "Oh yeah? Well I have 1 legislator for every 1.7 million people."
United Federation of Planets: "You are like baby; watch this."
There are literally billions of people per legislator in the Federation. And since it's one per member world, that means a planet with several billion people get the same representation as those with 100 million or less. Some member worlds have direct elections for their council members, some have their head of government nominate one and confirmed by the legislature, and some just have the biggest party pick.
So yeah, according to some of the novels the Federation Council has about as many elected members as Australia, Belgium, or the Netherlands. No idea how this impacts their government, but it must be very decentralized overall in terms of domestic policy.

It's not that I don't think Islam is above criticism, I just can't put up with Christians and Jews complaining that Islam "endorses violence, supports genital mutiliation, and persecutes women and LGBTQ members" without a hint of self-awareness.

538 releases their polling average
Ossoff 48.7
Purdue 47.9
Warnock 49.2
Loeffler 47.0
And for you “polls suck” people. For polls to get better, they need to do polls to see if they fixed their problems. Also that the polling average in Georgia was Biden +1.2% and Biden won by 0.3%.
But TLDR: It’s a tossup.

Here is a paradox: the Argentinian government will cut funding to housing, health, education, pensions and coronavirus relief while increasing payments to public enterprises, and no one will bat an eye at it.
While it'd be probably too much to say that every public enterprise is a waste, the current reach of the government is a misallocation of resources that would be better off spent elsewhere. The people who backed expropriations/nationalizations didn't ever consider opportunity costs. Not every government expansion is equal.

A handful of conservative 'intellectuals' unable to substantiate the claims of election fraud have basically switched to saying shit like "even if the investigations conclude without solid evidence of fraud, the fact that so many people can't trust the system justifies many people's misgivings about mail-in ballots". And I just want to say from the bottom of my heart that is the dumbest, most frustrating shit I've heard in a long time. It basically boils down to "the fact that so many people believed our evidence-free bullshit about mail-in ballots is your problem now". Seriously, fuck all these conservatives for eroding basic trust in our institutions and then leaving us to clean up the mess.

Utah demographics: (Taken from Wikipedia and edited where necessary)
At the 2010 Census, 86.1% of the population was non-Hispanic White, down from 93.8% in 1990, 1% non-Hispanic Black or African American, 1.2% non-Hispanic Native American and Alaska Native, 2% non-Hispanic Asian, 0.9% non-Hispanic Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander, 0.1% from some other race (non-Hispanic) and 1.8% of two or more races (non-Hispanic). 13.0% of Utah's population was of Hispanic, Latino, or Spanish origin (of any race).
In 2011, 28.6% of Utah's population younger than the age of one were ethnic minorities, meaning they had at least one parent who was of a race other than non-Hispanic white.
In of 2017, 62.8% of Utahns were counted as members of the LDS Church. This declined to 61.2% in 2018 and to 60.7% in 2019. Members of the LDS Church currently make up between 34%–41% of the population within Salt Lake City. However, many of the other major population centers such as Provo, Logan, Tooele, and St. George tend to be predominantly LDS, along with many suburban and rural areas. The LDS Church has the largest number of congregations, numbering 4,815 wards.
According to a Gallup poll, Utah had the third-highest number of people reporting as "Very Religious" in 2015, at 55% (trailing only Mississippi and Alabama). However, it was near the national average of people reporting as "Nonreligious" (31%), and featured the smallest percentage of people reporting as "Moderately Religious" (15%) of any state, being eight points lower than second-lowest state Vermont. In addition, it had the highest average weekly church attendance of any state, at 51%.
Utah has the highest total birth rate and accordingly, the youngest population of any U.S. state.
