Experimenting with a new concept using @queermedieval.bsky.social’s Portland Frog woodcut. Embracing goofiness as protest.

New paper on the problems with the Cass review.
"How did the Cass review come to be so terrible, and why was it readily accepted by so many people who claim to be evidence-based?
There are lots of different answers in the piece, but the underlying issue is simply bias."

Fascinating to see Financial Times turn to affect and analyze their own "macro mood," or average weekly sentiment since 1982.
They link the fact that "bad is stronger than good" to more clicks on negative headlines. But also show that our mood has not recovered from the financial crisis of 2007-8.
Regrettably relevant research today

![Can you put into words what that purpose is? You and the frog have really become icons of this protest.
There’s been a nice overall whimsy that has shown up. The frog is amazing. We had a bunch of other inflatable people here last night, too. I saw people playing Twister the other day.
What they rely on is fear. So by coming out in an absurdist manner, it speaks to them, to some extent, that we’re actually not that afraid.
It also dismantles their narrative a little bit. When they try to describe this situation as “war-torn,” it becomes much harder to take them seriously when they have to post a video saying [U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security] Kristi Noem is up on the balcony staring over the Antifa Army and it’s, like, eight journalists and five protesters and one of them is in a chicken suit.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:lzlqyldh7nfc34pfffvd24ko/bafkreiap6asa64jdjb2vlv4c2sdritjrntsibvsv7baj6o4cgwcfgsjeny@jpeg)

Male solidarity could drive them away from Trump.
Joe Rogan: "There’s two things that are insane... One is the targeting of migrant workers — not cartel members, not gang members, not drug dealers — just construction workers. Showing up at construction sites, raiding them. Gardeners. Like, really?"
Very cool! Researchers from the US and Sweden used CRISPR technology to identify a crucial protein, LRP8, that the TBE virus requires to enter the central nervous system.
"LRP8's role as a TBEV receptor has implications for TBEV neuropathogenesis and the development of antiviral countermeasures."
Yes, the same Peter Thiel who suggested Greta Thunberg might be the antichrist.

New study reveals molecular basis of brain fog.
"The systemic increase in AMPARs provides a direct biological explanation for the cognitive symptoms, highlighting a target for potential treatments. For example, drugs that suppress AMPAR activity could be a viable approach to mitigate brain fog."
Paris before and after street transformation
New urban forest planted in front of Paris City Hall
A Paris “School Street” where cars are removed and people space/tree planting are added
According to the City of Paris, in the last 10 years 150K trees have been planted & 45ha of parks created in the already hot city, all intended to not only improve quality-of-life today, but also help the city adapt to & manage summer heatwaves of 50℃ (122F) by 2050.
Just the start.
Common sense.

The government plans to revoke permanent residence permits, which not only reflects poor policy but also undermines predictability – a crucial aspect of the rule of law.
Excellent opinion piece:
"It is not only unfair. It is also dangerous for the trust between people and the state."
Helpful advice in many situations!
