Humans are far more monogamous than our primate cousins, but less so than beavers, a new study suggests. https://cnn.it/4iN9Fqw

This is accurate. Russia has succeeded very well in convincing media in Europe and the UK that the conflict is far more one-sided in Russia’s favour than is genuinely the case - and that contributes to the assumption that it should be settled in Russia’s favour sooner rather than later.

We deserve to know why our government is murdering civilians at sea.

#ICYMI, the not-so-subtle message from the US admin to the EU and world late last week was: "abolish the EU!" In the future, the admin will be actively supporting right-wing parties in Europe to stop what they see as the 'civilizational erasure' of Western culture. www.wsj.com/world/europe...

Europe can no longer rely on the US as an ally. This response from Moscow says it all: “Russia has welcomed changes in the US National Security Strategy, saying the adjustments were “largely consistent” with Moscow’s vision”. www.arabnews.com/node/2625342...

My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’

I was disappointed with several elements of The @economist.com recent articles on minimum wages. To their credit, they've published my response. Here are some links to the research I reference and to some other research which had to be cut from the published letter 1/N

Nobel Committee should declare the winner of the World Cup.

Sabrina Carpenter made the White House delete their fuck ass tweet.

Don't let anyone — not even the US Secretary of State — tell you that the European Commission's €120 million enforcement against Elon Musk’s X under the Digital Service Act is about censorship, writes Daphne Keller. It’s just the EU enforcing some normal, boring requirements of its law, she says.
