wanted to pass comment to Carl Vernon about it, how nice to see his compassion and outrage at the cruel injustice of this, and to point out the contrast to how just days ago he was chirping the daily mail hour of hate line against benefits claimants, and the cognitive dissonance or double standard of it. Yes, very sad and wrong that an old lady should die from being told she needs to wait 10 days for an ambulance visit for a broken hip. Also very sad and wrong that over a hundred thousand people suffered similarly the decade prior during #AVeryBritishGenocide (aka the #FitToWork scandal). Take care around the hate they implant in you. Slip past your better thinking, it can.
... o wait, never mind, it's available again ~ maybe I typed/pasted it wrong.

L’interview de Carlson-Huckabee propulse «Israël vs America First » au cœur du débat
L’interview du célèbre journaliste conservateur américain #Tucker #Carlson avec l’ambassadeur des #États-Unis en #Israël, Mike "Huckabee, a fait grand bruit. Depuis sa publication vendredi, des observateurs de tout l’éventail politique des États-Unis se sont rendus sur les médias sociaux pour la commenter.
En effet, l’interview a mis en lumière – peut-être plus que tout autre spectacle politique ou médiatique – le soupçon croissant selon lequel les fonctionnaires américains pourraient être plus loyaux envers un pays étranger qu’envers les États-Unis. Il pourrait bien s’agir d’un moment décisif dans la manière dont les Américains perçoivent les relations de leur gouvernement avec Israël.

_Don't Trust the Science: How the 2020 Census Was Rigged by the Census Bureau’s Chief Scientist_
FTA: Begin with the official who best symbolizes the second door. The 2020 census was marketed as an “actual enumeration,” a neutral count of people for apportionment and funding. It was not. John M. Abowd, then the Census Bureau’s Chief Scientist, pushed through a new, opaque methodology called differential privacy. The new system deliberately injected mathematical noise into block counts across the country, turning what should have been a headcount into a model with knobs. The most consequential knob was a single parameter, epsilon, the privacy loss budget. During the critical period, epsilon functioned as a secrecy shroud known only to a small inner circle. Abowd had argued earlier that a straightforward citizenship question posed an intolerable risk to data quality because there was not enough time to test it. He then rushed an algorithmic regime that altered the published count in every neighborhood in America. That juxtaposition is not merely ironic. It is revealing. If the standard is “do not change the census unless rigorously tested,” then differential privacy fails that standard by design.
The record on the citizenship question fight is not peripheral. It is a window into priorities and plausibility. On Jan 19, 2018, Abowd sent Commerce a technical memo urging rejection of a citizenship question. He later testified in federal court, and the transcript is extensive. The public narrative, reinforced by expert declarations and judicial findings, was that the question would chill participation and degrade data quality. The administration lost that fight. But the more consequential fight, the one over how the Bureau would publish the data and what kinds of statistical machinery would stand between raw responses and official numbers, continued largely outside public view. Abowd advanced a quiet revolution in disclosure avoidance, adopting differential privacy for the first time ever in a US census. That choice was framed as confidentiality compliance under 13 USC § 9. The statute matters. So does the Constitution. Confidentiality is a genuine obligation, but it is not a blank check to corrupt the object being protected. The obligation to protect respondent privacy is downstream from the obligation to count accurately for apportionment. Privacy is a constraint on publication, not a license to alter totals.

Dites aux bellicistes iraniens et cubains de la diaspora de fermer leur gueule

Chaque fois que vous dites quoi que ce soit en ligne pour vous opposer à la façon dont les États-Unis se préparent à la guerre avec l’Iran ou étranglent Cuba à mort avec une guerre de siège, vous trouverez toujours des personnes dont la famille vient du pays en question qui vous diront de vous taire et de soutenir la machine de guerre américaine. Leur famille a émigré à un moment donné parce qu’elle n’aimait pas le gouvernement, alors maintenant, ils passent leur temps sur les réseaux sociaux à dire à tout le monde de soutenir les opérations américaines visant à renverser ce gouvernement.
La réponse appropriée à ces personnes est « Fermez-la ».
Dites aux bellicistes de la diaspora iranienne de fermer leur gueule. Dites aux fanatiques du changement de régime de la diaspora cubaine de fermer leur gueule.

Let's start with the basics: there are about 5.5 million trans Americans. This means that *nearly 10% of the entire trans population of the nation* has moved.

Feb 24, 2026 @ 11:02 (!) Good morning family & friends❣️ I woke up earlier today (actually asked Pete to awaken me) because he has an appointment in Clare in a little while to which I will need to drive him, and I wanted to get my morning blog updates/additions done first. So I've been drinking my tea while I did that, and am now having some soup. I don't have any other plans for the day, likely that will be all I can do anyway but I'm hopeful I can get a Tuesday Titters post done afterward. We will be stopping in Sanford on the way back for some organ meats to use in Maisie's food, the grocery store there has a pretty good selection of them so I'll stock up. I took a few pics of the PoiBoiz and a quick video as well this morning, which I want to share...so we'll see how the day goes and I will see you later - enjoy your Tuesday❣️🙌✝️🎶😆🥩🌿💐👴👵🐕🦺🦜

Spain’s Foreign Minister José Manuel Albares has urged the European Union to adopt a tougher approach toward Israel, citing the worsening humanitarian crisis in Gaza and continued settlement expansion in the occupied West Bank.
Albares criticized the EU’s silence over ongoing attacks and displacement of Palestinians, calling on the bloc to use the political and economic tools at its disposal to pressure the Israeli government.
He also condemned recent US tariffs, framing them as a challenge to European sovereignty and stressing the need to defend EU interests.

#Idiocratie
Pour la première fois depuis plus d’un siècle, une rupture historique se dessine.
Une génération entière affiche des performances cognitives inférieures à celles qui l’ont précédée.
La Génération Z devient officiellement la première génération moderne à régresser sur le plan intellectuel par rapport aux Millennials.
Ce constat a été formulé sous serment par le neuroscientifique Jared Cooney #Horvath lors de son audition devant le Sénat américain en janvier 2026.
Les faits sont clairs.
1. Un recul mesuré, mondial, documenté
#QI moyen, #mémoire de travail, #compréhension écrite, #raisonnement mathématique, #résolution de problèmes :
tous les indicateurs cognitifs fondamentaux sont en baisse, dans plus de 80 pays.
Il ne s’agit pas d’un phénomène culturel local, mais d’une tendance globale.
2. Le problème n’est pas l’ #éducation, mais sa #numérisation
Contrairement au discours dominant, ce déclin n’est pas lié à un manque d’accès au savoir.
Il est corrélé à l’intégration massive des #écrans à l’école : tablettes, ordinateurs, contenus interactifs.
Selon Horvath, ces outils ont freiné, et parfois altéré, le développement cérébral.
3. Le cerveau humain n’est pas conçu pour le “format court”
Notre biologie repose sur l’effort cognitif, l’ #attention soutenue, l’échange humain.
La consommation permanente de contenus courts — vidéos rapides, résumés visuels, listes à puces — empêche la consolidation des connexions neuronales profondes.
On stimule, mais on n’imprime plus.
4. Le paradoxe le plus inquiétant : l’illusion de compétence
Plus l’accès à l’information est immédiat, plus le sentiment de maîtrise augmente…
alors que la compréhension réelle diminue.
La Gen Z confond savoir et disponibilité de la donnée, lecture et survol, intelligence et rapidité.
La formule de Horvath est brutale, mais précise : « Nous ne progressons pas. Nous capitulons. »
Face à ce qu’il qualifie d’urgence sociétale, il recommande une rupture claire avec le modèle actuel : s’inspirer des pays scandinaves, limiter drastiquement les écrans à l’école, revenir aux manuels, à la lecture longue, et à l’interaction humaine directe.

La #dictature de l' #UE, c'est toujours pour après-demain, ou c'est maintenant ?
Le journaliste pro-palestinien Hüseyin #Doğru, né en Allemagne, a été visé par des sanctions imposées par l’Union européenne après sa couverture de la guerre à Gaza.
Ses comptes bancaires ont été gelés et il ne dispose plus que de 560 euros mensuels, somme que sa banque refuserait parfois de lui verser. Il affirme également être empêché de quitter le pays et rencontre des difficultés pour payer son logement et ses frais juridiques. Les sanctions ont été adoptées sans procédure judiciaire, affirme-t-il.
Il conteste par ailleurs avoir été présenté comme ressortissant non-européen dans certains documents, ce qui l’aurait privé de voies de recours.
Toute aide financière ou matérielle pourrait exposer des tiers à des poursuites pour contournement des sanctions, tandis qu’une nouvelle loi allemande étendrait ces mesures à sa famille.
