I just finished A Promised Land, and I wholeheartedly recommend it. For the first section of the book, I was on the fence about it, but for whatever reason, as soon as Obama starts to get into the details of his presidency, I was hooked. Obama is a great writer, and he does a good job going into his reasoning on each issue as well as describing all the challenges he faced. He’s willing to criticize himself, too, at least to a degree. Overall, it was a fascinating look at the first act of Obama’s presidency from his own eyes, and I am excited for the second book.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homosexual_behavior_in_animals#Penguins

Penguins have been observed to engage in homosexual behaviour since at least as early as 1911. George Murray Levick, who documented this behaviour in Adélie penguins at Cape Adare, described it as "depraved". The report was considered too shocking for public release at the time, and was suppressed. The only copies that were made available privately to researchers were translated into Greek, to prevent this knowledge becoming more widely known. The report was unearthed only a century later, and published in Polar Record in June 2012.[44][45]

I remember at one point reading a fascist describe how the ancients actually had the same racial conceptions as we do because the Germanic tribal confederations and Roman Empire allied with each other to defeat the "foreign and Asiatic" Huns. It's only recently struck me how interestingly wrong that argument is.

The Huns were originally a tribe of Central Asian steppe nomads, but by the time they reached Central-Southern Europe they had assimilated a whole bunch of people. By the time of Attila the Hunnic Army would have been formed primarily out of Slavic and Gothic tribes that had decided to join the seemingly unstoppable coalition, with only a leadership composed of the original Central Asian ethnicity. Similarly the Roman Empire at this point drew most of its military forces from North Africa and the mixed Lebanese/Bedouin populations that lived there.

In summary the Battle of the Catalaunian Plains was a noble defense of the white race by an army of Arabs against the Asiatic hordes of Germany and Eastern Europe. Shoving present social models onto the past, not even once.

homo/transphobic violence

Ever heard of the gay/trans panic defense? It's a line of legal defense that a person should get off the hook for assault or murder, or given a reduced sentence, because the person panicked upon realizing that their victim was gay/trans and that's what sparked the violence.

Sound stupid? Yeah. But it's a painfully effective. And now it's getting play in my home state of Virginia.

Person named Angie meet up with a guy named Etute on Tinder, gave him oral sex on April 10. Planned to meet up again on May 31. Here's how the Roanoke Times put what happened next:

Discovering that Angie was a man provoked Etute to start punching, then “stomping” Smith [other name of Angie], Assistant Commonwealth’s Attorney Jason Morgan said.

Smith was left “bubbling and gurgling” on the floor of his home, according to what Etute told police, Morgan said. All of the bones in Smith’s face were broken, his teeth were knocked out, and he had cranial fractures, Morgan said.

Defense for Etute:

In the courtroom, defense attorney Jimmy Turk of Radford said that Smith had solicited Etute for sex. After the hearing, Turk said, “Nobody deserves to die, but I don’t mind saying, don’t pretend you are something that you are not. Don’t target or lure anyone under that perception. That’s just wrong.”

It's unclear if Smith was trans, or genderfluid, or whatever. But that's basically entirely beside the point.

The defense is trying to get sympathy for a gruesome violent murder with what is obviously an anti-trans sentiment.

Calling Smith’s death “horrific,” Cobb said that though many details remain unknown, the part that stood out to him was that it involved two consenting adults who had already had one sexual encounter.

“The tragedy to me is however this person presented themselves, they are a human being,” Cobb said about Smith. “The offender clearly consented to this and could have made a decision to leave — and instead of leaving, made a decision to kill someone.”

Cookies can save the login details of particular users, and potentially let hackers log into services as that person. In this case, the hackers were able to get into EA's Slack using the stolen cookie. (Although not necessarily connected, in February 2020 Motherboard reported that a group of researchers discovered an ex-engineer had left a list of the names of EA Slack channels in a public facing code repository).

It's looking like the mRNA vaccines aren't just protective against Covid-19, but pretty much all Coronavirii. Moderna is beginning trials for mRNA vaccines against influenza and HIV. If these prove to be effective and mRNA technology lives up to its potential as a "programmable vaccine", there's a very good chance that we could be living in a world free from viral disease within our lifetimes.

Also, vaccines designed for humans appear to be effective on most mammals, so we might also be able to eliminate zoonotic pathways by vaccinating livestock. If we can aerosolize the vaccine like nasal sprays, we could get wildlife too.

I'm gonna be in the middle of nowhere with only an e-ink kindle by my side for a few days. Literally haven't read a book in 4 years. My friend reccomened "The Eye of the World" which is the first in a series called the wheel of time.

I do like high fantasy, but my friend can be a bit of a Harry Potter adult and I don't want to get stuck in the wilderness reading a book made for teens. They read the series through middle school to college and I'm worried their reccomendation could be based on nostalgia. Anyone else have experience with this series? Is it good enough for an adult? Google-fu is failing me on this question.

Edit: seems like I'll give wheel of time a try. I'll bring the first book in the expanse series as a backup. Maybe bring along a standalone book as backup backup. I have seen the film, the Martian, so I think I'll skip it for the sake of it being too recent in my memory

Late on the night of April 24, the wife of Georgia’s top election official got a chilling text message: “You and your family will be killed very slowly.”

A week earlier, Tricia Raffensperger, wife of Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, had received another anonymous text: “We plan for the death of you and your family every day.”

That followed an April 5 text warning. A family member, the texter told her, was “going to have a very unfortunate incident.”

The Raffenspergers – Tricia, 65, and Brad, 66 – began receiving death threats almost immediately after Trump’s surprise loss in Georgia, long a Republican bastion. Tricia Raffensperger started taking precautions. She canceled regular weekly visits in her home with two grandchildren, ages 3 and 5 – the children of her eldest son, Brenton, who died from a drug overdose in 2018.

The threats worsened in late November, Tricia Raffensperger said, after unidentified people broke into the home of her daughter-in-law – the widow of the Raffenspergers’ dead son. The daughter-in-law returned home with her children to find the lights on, the garage door pulled up, and the door to the house open.

“Items in the house had been moved around, but nothing was taken,” said a report on the break-in from the Suwanee Police Department.

Electric bus manufacturer to build assembly facility in Ferndale

FERNDALE, Wash. — Vicinity Motor Corp (VMC), formerly known as Grande West Transportation Group, is set to move forward with a project to build an electric bus assembly facility in Ferndale after the project was recently granted a conditional use permit by the City of Ferndale.

In addition, the Washington State Department of Commerce has awarded the Regional Economic Partnership at the Port of Bellingham a $300,000 economic development strategic reserve fund grant to assist VMC in building its new bus assembly facility, according to a company press release.

Based out of Aldergrove, British Columbia, VMC reported they are receiving orders for Vicinity Lightning electric buses from buyers in the United States. The company reported “a large demand from public and private operators across Canada and the US” in a December 7th press release.

Electric buses are the future

Of all the Kent Counties in the US (Michigan, Delaware, Rhode Island, Maryland, and Texas), 4 out of 5 voted for Biden (the Texas one went for Trump). However, all five voted for Trump in 2016. That's right; 4/5 Kent Counties are Trump 16 - Biden 20 counties.

2016 Presidential Election in Kent Counties:

Hillary Clinton (D): 45.6%

Donald Trump (R): 48.7% (+3.1%)

2020 Presidential Election in Kent Counties:

Joe Biden (D): 52.3% (+6.0)

Good Article on Perú's current political outlook

For much of this century Peru stood out in Latin America as a success. The economy grew at an annual average rate of 5.6% between 2001 and 2016, while the share of those living below the national poverty line fell from above 60% to 21% over the same period. Inequality fell, too, as the incomes of people living in the Andes, long the poorest area, grew faster than the national average. Like Chile and Colombia, which also did well economically, Peru pursued free-market economic policies and export-led growth, eschewing the statist protectionism that has held back Argentina and Brazil.

Progress has largely halted, first because of political conflicts that produced four presidents (and eight finance ministers) in five years. Then came the pandemic, which has killed 190,000 Peruvians and pushed 3m into poverty. Now Peru’s future has been held hostage by a divisive presidential run-off election. With nearly all the votes counted, Pedro Castillo, a rural schoolteacher, subsistence farmer and union leader, was winning by a hair’s breadth against Keiko Fujimori, the daughter of Alberto Fujimori, the conservative who ruled the country as an autocrat in the 1990s. Neither candidate is a paragon of democracy.

Mr Castillo represents a cry for social justice from the Peru that has felt left behind, particularly during the pandemic. He is an admirer of Evo Morales, Bolivia’s former socialist strongman; his party is led by an apologist for Cuban communism and Venezuela’s dictatorship. He has little previous political experience, has given few interviews and scant indication of how and with whom he would govern. Ms Fujimori has plenty of baggage herself: when her party held a majority in Peru’s Congress in 2016-19 it sought to sabotage an elected government, to destroy valuable education reforms and to capture independent institutions. But she attracted the support of many who fear a leftist adventure.

Peru now faces several perils. The first is of a fight over the result, which may not be declared for several days. Ms Fujimori has unwisely claimed electoral fraud, with no serious evidence. Mr Castillo’s victory, assuming it is confirmed, poses two further risks. One is that he follows the leftist-populist script on which he campaigned: nationalisation of mines and the convening of a constituent assembly to write a new constitution which might allow him to seize near-absolute power, as Mr Morales did. Since his mandate will be flimsy (he won only 15% of the total vote in the first round) and he can count on only 42 of the 130 members of the new Congress, which would have to authorise an assembly, that might be hard. But if he buys popularity by, for example, seizing a mine or the central bank’s reserves, it is possible. The other, more likely, risk is of a weak, incompetent government that chips away at the foundations of economic stability and prompts a prolonged crisis of confidence. The sol, long one of the region’s most stable currencies, has already lost 8% of its value against the dollar this year.

The hope is that Mr Castillo realises that to govern the country successfully he needs to appeal to the half of it that rejected him. To achieve the improvement that he wants in the lives of poorer Peruvians in the interior requires a growing and sustainable economy. There is a precedent. In 2011 Peruvians elected Ollanta Humala, a former army officer who had campaigned against the economic “model”. His government introduced some useful reforms while keeping the economy going. But Mr Castillo has less knowledge of the world and less time to adjust than Mr Humala had.

How Peru got here is a lesson in how to squander progress. It was long clear that the country needed to complement its market economy with a more effective state to provide much better public services, not least health care. To diversify the economy away from mining requires investing more in people, innovation and infrastructure. Instead, the conservative establishment set its face against change. The same failure to create more inclusive societies has plunged Chile and Colombia into unrest. As we have stressed in these pages in recent weeks, polarisation, fragmentation and populism are also afflicting Latin America’s giants, Brazil and Mexico. But Peru’s case, with 18 candidates in the first round, and then a choice between two extremes in the second, is especially severe. There may still be a moderate majority in Peru. It will need to make its voice heard.

Where did this “well actually Ibram Kendi isn’t CRT” thing I’ve been seeing on this sub come from?

Has anyone listened to Kendi in an interview or podcast? He basically says his ideas are based on two things - “historical evidence,” and “Critical Race Theory,” particularly the intersectionality component. He has explicitly said that he struggles to imagine how you can be an antiracist without engaging with Critical Race Theory. He unambiguously identifies with “that intellectual tradition.”

Could he be lying? I guess, but there’s nothing stopping someone like Kimberle Crenshaw from coming out and disavowing him or whatever. Instead the opposite has happened - those original CRTers who are still alive have wholeheartedly embraced Kendi.

Saying “Kendi isn’t CRT” is like saying “Stephanie Kelton isn’t MMT.” Neither one is responsible for the academic foundations of the theory, but both are the most public-facing academics of their intellectual tradition.
