US tech giants allying with European far-right to strip back EU rules Amid rising EU-US tensions, a new report has accused Big Tech of courting far-right MEPs to weaken the EU's regulatory power on AI and data.

"Big Tech companies such as Google, Microsoft and Meta increased their meetings with far-right groups in the European Parliament ahead of the Commission's push last year, revealed a new analysis by non-profit organisations Corporate Europe Observatory (CEO) and LobbyControl."

A meme contrasting the map of Europe with Europe during Eurovision. The Eurovision version comically adds Australia to the European continent, highlighting Australia's involvement in Eurovision.

The future isnโ€™t promised. Itโ€™s shaped by those who dare to care, speak, and act.
And we do.
And we will.

You mean "CBT is the gold standard"?๐Ÿ˜ Joking a bit, true, CBT has significantly more research than other modalities.

While trauma explains a great deal, it is not the only factor. Human experiences are complex, and not every experience is attributable to trauma. Overusing the term diminishes the experiences of those who really experienced trauma and/or have PTSD.

Thanks for sharing! Interesting to see that CBT would be recommended for "simple, isolated" cases, and for patients where there is "defective introspection ability". Interesting choice of words by professionals, as well. Sounds judgy.

Thank you for sharing! I understand your concerns. Interestingly, I didn't even think about that; I focused only on the fact that these people live in an authoritarian regime and fight against oppression. I see these protests as a fight for survival, hence health concerns probably become secondary.

Thanks for sharing, interesting results! When you say that therapy modality got "recommended" or "selected", can you please clarify by whom? Unfortunately I cannot access full text.๐Ÿ˜… Thank you!

You're absolutely right about the lack of references undermining its scientific claims. Nevertheless, it has valid points about rising trends in therapeutic culture.

The Cult of Gabor Matรฉ: Trauma, Science, and the Rise of Therapeutic Politics Gabor Matรฉ has built an empire on a simple premise: trauma explains everything.

Excellent reading about the cult of Gabor Mate and #trauma. "Western societies have increasingly medicalized suffering, replacing concepts like personal responsibility and agency with narratives of victimhood."

BREAKING: MSF strongly denounces Israelโ€™s announcement to block aid into Gaza.

Humanitarian aid should never be used as a tool of war. Regardless of negotiations between warring parties, people in Gaza still need an immediate and massive scale-up of humanitarian supplies.

Word of the day: Fremdschรคmen. That's a beautiful German word for the deep, secondhand embarrassment you feel when someone humiliates themselves, especially when they have no clue. And yes, thatโ€™s exactly how I felt watching those two clown bullies yesterday. #Cringe #PsySciSky #TherapistSky

True and this is a wonderfully optimistic perspective. However, on the other hand, they weren't as good as they could have been. Ideally, there would be zero Nazis in the Parliament. But here we are, with the 20%.
