July’s PPI surged 0.9% month-over-month, far above the 0.2% forecast. Core PPI also jumped 0.6%, the largest rise since March 2022. This suggests businesses, squeezed by tariffs and higher import costs, will soon pass more expenses to consumers, reversing recent mild CPI trends. Despite market hopes for a September rate cut, the data confirms inflation remains persistently above the Fed’s 2% target, complicating its next move.

The Bullet Ant. This guy's a masochist.
Story speaking of ants, when I was in the Bahamas once w/a friend just driving around with a guide. We stopped at a beautiful little beach. I wondered why it was empty. Sitting on the sand, I was attacked by fire ants running up both my legs. I screamed and ran into the water before they got to my sensitive area. I got a blisters on my legs. The guy driving & my "friend" laughed. I was too naive to consider revenge, lol.

Inside: Become unoptimizable; and more!

the point about friction really struck a chord with me. It's all just entropy really. The rich can only have their entropy free lives by increasing the levels of entropy everywhere else for all of us.
Also the thing about nurses' pay made me so angry. That is why I spend my spare time getting people into unions. (Another way for people to become collectively unoptimisable I suppose!)
One of the biggest cultural issues we have is that no major media or journalistic institutions have been reinforcing norms of what things *should* look like. That corruption isn’t normal, that cronyism isn’t normal, that lies and scandals should be punished, that incompetence is disqualifying.
They’ve simply stopped pointing out that there are any standards at are, or that there used to be a bar of any sort. And now an entire generation doesn’t know this concept at all.

The end of Europe as a serious political power.Simplicius (Simplicius's Garden of Knowledge)
J'ai découvert au détour d'un podcast #polya récemment que l'#amour peut se décrire sous trois formes:
- Éros, c'est l'amour passionnel. Le plus connu, qui se nourrit du manque, d'un besoin affectif non comblé. Une forme d'amour centré sur soi. Cet Éros a tendance à se tarir dès lors que les besoins sont comblés. (C'est l'amour selon Platon)
- Agapé, l'amour à l'inverse centré sur l'autre. Presque un amour inconditionnel, divin. Celui qui est la source de #compersion : il se nourrit du bonheur et du bien-être de l'être aimé·e. Parfois au détriment du soi
(C'est plutôt l'amour au sens de la charité chrétienne)
- Philia, où l'amour-amitié, ou l'amour-raison : c'est l'amour de ce que nous avons déjà, de ce qui ne nous manque pas. Je t'aime signifie alors "je suis joyeux·se que tu existes".
(C'est l'amour selon Aristote)
Donc, déjà... Désolée pour celleux d'entre vous qui savez déjà, c'est une découverte pour moi, mais peut-être pas pour vous.
Et aussi... n'hésitez pas à corriger si j'ai mal compris... Je ne suis pas du tout experte !
Mais surtout, mon propos était que... Depuis que j'ai découvert ça je me questionne encore plus sur les différentes formes d'amour que je vis:
Est-ce que les relations amoureuses nécessitent ces trois formes d'amour ? Quid des relations amicales ? En quoi ça pourrait bien différer, en fait ?
Et... Les relations familiales ?
/me est un peu perdue dans le concept d'amour !
eros n'est que peu présent dans mon couple... Et l'amour qu'on a envers nos enfants n'est clairement pas le même que celui qu'on ressent l'un envers l'autre...
D'après un index de publications religieuses que j'utilise, le grec biblique utilise plusieurs termes pour plusieurs notions qu'on pourrait indifféremment traduire par "amour" :
agapaô (aimer)
agapê (amour basé sur les principes)
érôs (sentiment amoureux)
philadélphia (amour fraternel)
1/2
c'est super riche, merci !
Et mon couple avec LeMari a toujours été principalement de l'amitié... Ce qui n'empêche pas le dimension sexuelle de s'épanouir, ou en tout cas je ne le vis pas comme ça (je dis ça car j'ai lu qu'Eros représenterait les relations charnelles, ce que l'amitié ne permettrait pas).
Étude Perspicace des Écritures (encyclopédie biblique en 2 volumes), article "Affection" :
Attachement fort, tendre et personnel, comme celui qui lie des amis véritables.
Le mot hébreu ḥashaq, traduit par ‘ témoigner de l’affection ’ en Deutéronome 7:7, a pour sens premier “ être attaché à ”. (Gn 34:8.) Le verbe grec philéô est rendu par ‘ avoir de l’affection ’, ‘ aimer ’, ‘ être attaché à ’ et ‘ embrasser ’. (Mt 10:37 ; 23:6 ; Jean 12:25 ; Mc 14:44.)
ainsi que le sentiment chaleureux des disciples pour le Fils de Dieu. — Jean 5:20 ; 16:27 ; voir aussi 1Co 16:22.
Il est à remarquer qu’il existe une distinction entre les verbes grecs philéô et agapaô, même si bon nombre de traducteurs ne les différencient pas (voir AMOUR). Au sujet de la différence entre ces deux mots, F. Zorell (Lexicon Graecum Novi Testamenti, Paris, 1961, col. 1402) déclare :
pour moi l'amour passionnel n'a pas besoin d'être tout le temps présent.... Meme si j'aime bien qu'il soit présent régulièrement, comme il née du manque, il faut qu'il y ai ce manque.
C'est aussi ce que j'aime bien dans l'idée de la non cohabitation
L'amour centré sur l'autre pour moi c'est un peu une forme d'idéal, mais dans le sens aussi inaccessible... Meme si parfois je l'approche, il me semble quand même difficile.
C'est aussi celui qui se rapproche le plus de l'amour familiale, centré sur ceuxcelles qui en ont besoin, quitte à ignorer ses besoins ...
Perso ignorer mes besoins ça toujours été un truc difficile, parce que pas lié à l'amour mais plutôt a des peurs ... Puis n'ayant pas d'enfant et mes parents ne connaissant difficilement le concept de montrer son amour, c'est quelque chose qui m'échappe facilement
Mais J'ai beaucoup d'admiration pour les personnes qui arrivent a en avoir.
L'amour amitié a toujours eu beaucoup de place pour moi, plus que l'amour passionnel, c'est celui qui a toujours été plus en accord avec ma façon de concevoir le monde .. et qui compensé les autres formes d'amour quand elles étaient absentes.
Autant l'amitié ça été un truc que j'ai dû apprendre adulte... Autant cette forme elle a toujours beaucoup de place dans mes relations.
Celle qui fait que j'aime tout partager , être toujours là pour, beaucoup parler avec....
First domino in national #redistricting fight likely to fall with #Texas #GOP to vote on #rigged maps
The #Republican-controlled TX legislature is expected to pass a new congressional map creating 5 new winnable seats for the GOP.
The vote follows prodding by #Trump, eager to stave off a #midterm defeat depriving his *party* of control of the #US #House, & weeks of delays after dozens of Texas #Democratic state lawmakers fled the state in #protest.
Some #Democrats returned Monday, only to be assigned round-the-clock #police *escorts* to ensure their attendance at Wednesday’s session. Those who refused to be *monitored* were confined to the #House floor, where they protested on a livestream Tuesday night.
Furious national Democrats have vowed payback for the #Texas map, with #California’s legislature poised to approve new maps adding more Democratic-friendly seats later this week.
Normally, #states redraw maps once a decade with new #census figures. But #Trump is lobbying other conservative-controlled states like #Indiana & #Missouri to also try to squeeze new #GOP-friendly seats out of their maps as his party prepares for a difficult #midterm #election next year.
#law #ElectionLaw #redistricting #gerrymandering #autocracy #authoritarianism #HowToStealAnElection #rigged #midterms
In #Texas, #Democrats spent the day before the vote continuing to draw attention to the extraordinary lengths the #Republicans who run the #legislature were going to ensure it takes place. Democratic state Rep #NicoleCollier started it when she refused to sign what Democrats called the “permission slip” needed just to leave the #House chamber, a half-page form allowing Dept of *Public Safety* #police troopers to follow them.
