News story this AM on the local broadcast, Independence Day cookouts are more expensive this year. How much? “Almost 2% for a group of 10”. But this amount was not stated until the very end. They spent the time saying how much the price burgers/beef or brats have have gone up.
So NOW they want to tell us how inflation is affecting us. But under 4 years of Biden when inflation was running much higher (forgive me, I’m too lazy to go look up the amount) it was never talked about.

This study investigates the association between speakers' personal attributes, such as political stance or military experience, and their variable pronunciations of Iraq/Iran, as elicited through a rapid anonymous survey. For both target items, speakers' choice of variant appears to be associated not with political affiliation but with two other factors: ability to speak a second language and military service. English speakers who report being able to speak a foreign language are more likely to employ a variant more aligned with the source language, [irɑ:k]/[irɑ:n], while those with a record of military service tend toward the Americanized variants, [ajræk]/ [ajræn]. These results suggest that while specific variants might index political attitude in contexts where the construction of a particular political identity is desirable, in the absence of such a context, speakers' choice of variant is governed primarily by experiential factors.

« Mes amis Lorsque l’on est persuadé d’être très compétent, on stagne dans son apprentissage, car on ne voit pas l’intérêt d’approfondir. Demandons-nous alors : « Et si je ne savais pas tout ? Et si je jouais la carte de l’humilité ? » L’humilité fait apprendre. Lorsque l’on se lance dans l’apprentissage, il se peut que l’on se croie doué au départ, jusqu’à ce qu’on découvre qu’il existe une infinité de choses à apprendre ! Nous n’en finissons jamais. Nous tombons dans la vallée de l’humilité : je sais que je ne sais pas tout, que je peux toujours progresser. C’est ainsi que je progresse.
Lorsque l’on est persuadé d’être incompétent, on se bloque aussi, car on considère que c’est peine perdue. Demandons-nous : « Et si j’en savais plus que je ne croyais ? Et si je pouvais progresser ?
»Réfléchissez à ces biais cognitifs, afin de vous entraîner à accueillir de nouvelles pensées, une nouvelle vision du monde et des choses. Chaque fois que vous êtes persuadé d’avoir raison sur un sujet, osez une remise en question. »

An investigation by The Guardian revealed that the Israeli military used a powerful 500-pound bomb, likely an MK-82, in its attack on Al-Baqa café by the #Gaza seaside.
This bomb, caused a massive explosion and scattered shrapnel over a wide area, leaving a large crater at the site. The use of such a weapon may amount to a war crime.

Mads Gilbert, an emergency medicine doctor who has spent extensive time working in Gaza, says the Gaza Health Foundation (GHF) distribution centres are part of the Israeli occupation forces and the Israeli government plan to ethnically cleanse and to fulfil their goal of genocide in Gaza.
“The distribution organisation is aimed at using food as bait to attract starving people, to terrorise them and to kill them. The shooting of people in food lines is a war crime.”

While waiting to enter Gaza on a medical aid mission, an American doctor watched Israeli security forces confiscate the cans of powdered baby formula packed in his luggage. The vital product is desperately lacking in the Palestinian enclave, where about 50 children have died of hunger since March.

Un biais cognitif, c’est comme un piège dans notre tête.
C’est quand notre cerveau fait une erreur sans qu’on s’en rende compte. Il croit qu’il pense bien, mais en fait, il se trompe un peu. C’est comme porter des lunettes qui changent un peu la réalité : on voit les choses d’une façon spéciale, mais pas toujours juste
🧃 1. Biais de confirmation
C’est quand tu penses qu’une chose est vraie, et tu cherches seulement ce qui te donne raison.
📌 Exemple :
Tu dis : “Le jus de pomme, c’est le meilleur !”
Alors tu écoutes seulement les copains qui disent “Oui, moi aussi j’adore !”
Mais tu ignores ceux qui préfèrent le jus d’orange.
⸻
🧒 2. Effet de groupe (ou biais de conformité)
C’est quand tu fais comme tout le monde, même si ce n’est pas ce que tu veux vraiment.
📌 Exemple :
Tu veux dessiner un chien, mais tous les autres dessinent des chats.
Alors tu dessines un chat aussi, juste pour être comme eux.
⸻
🍭 3. Biais d’ancrage
C’est quand la première chose qu’on te dit influence ce que tu crois, même si ce n’est pas logique.
📌 Exemple :
On te dit : “Ce bonbon coûte 10 dinars !”
Puis on te dit : “Mais je te le fais à 5 dinars, c’est une super affaire !”
Tu crois que c’est pas cher… alors qu’un bonbon de 5 dinars, c’est déjà beaucoup !
⸻
🧠 En résumé :
Les biais cognitifs, ce sont des façons bizarres ou trompeuses de penser.
Ils arrivent à tout le monde, même aux grands !
Mais quand on les connaît, on peut mieux réfléchir.

Amnesty International issued a report Thursday claiming a controversial Israeli- and U.S.-backed system to distribute aid in Gaza uses starvation tactics against Palestinians to continue to commit genocide in the Gaza Strip.
The U.K.-based human rights group condemned Israel and the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, which the U.S. and Israel have backed to take over aid distribution in Gaza from a network led by the United Nations.
At least 15 Palestinians were killed earlier on Thursday in an Israeli attack targeting a school sheltering displaced families in Gaza City. The victims include children who were burned to death.
Medical sources reported that 11 people were killed in the Israeli attack on the Mustafa Hafez School in the Al-Rimal neighborhood in western Gaza City.
Local sources reported the bombing caused a fire at the school, burning people alive.

Frustrated by Day 2’s failures, Lee planned a massive assault on the Union center, led by Longstreet, with Pickett’s fresh division, while Ewell renewed attacks on Culp’s Hill and Stuart’s cavalry probed the Union lines to the rear. Both commanders braced for a decisive confrontation under the sweltering July heat.
At 4:00 AM, Union XII Corps, under Brig. Gen. George S. Greene, launched a counterattack to reclaim Culp’s Hill trenches lost to Johnson’s Confederates on July 2nd.
After hours of mounted and dismounted fighting, and about 500 casualties, Stuart’s advance was halted. Securing Meade’s rear and foiling the Confederate flanking maneuver.
Late on July 3, Union cavalry under Brig. Gen. Elon Farnsworth, part of Kilpatrick’s division, launched a doomed charge against Longstreet’s right flank south of Big Round Top. Ordered to disrupt Confederate lines, Farnsworth’s 300 troopers faced Law’s infantry and artillery across rocky terrain.
The artillery duel, one of the war’s largest, set the stage for Lee’s climactic assault, as both sides braced for the decisive moment, Pickett’s Charge.
At 3:00 PM, 12,500 Confederates—Pickett’s, Pettigrew’s, and Trimble’s divisions—emerged from Seminary Ridge for Pickett’s Charge. Advancing a mile across open fields, they faced a storm of Union artillery from Cemetery Ridge, led by Lt. Alonzo Cushing’s battery.
Lee’s army, with 28,000 losses, would retreat the next day, July 4th. Meade, with 23,000 casualties, did not pursue, sparking debate. Critics, including Lincoln, argued he missed a chance to crush Lee. Defenders cite Meade’s exhausted troops, low supplies, and Lee’s still-formidable army, arguing caution preserved the victory.
Gettysburg shifted the war’s tide, but Meade’s restraint, praised by some and scorned by others, left the Confederacy’s in tact dragging the war on for two more years.
