Trofim Lysenko was a Soviet scientist whose dogmatic science denialism led to mass famine when his ideas were applied to agriculture. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is a lot like Lysenko in his science denial

uspolitics, trump
I keep seeing smart people writing stuff like
> [the US] kept peace through strength balanced with restraint, and wielded influence through culture, values, and diplomacy
I understand that #Trump is terrible and some people feel tempted to idealize what they had before him, but we should be more discerning, or otherwise it becomes impossible to understand how this happened in the first place.
Let's start with some questions:
- peace where? and for who? was it true peace, or "Pax Romana"?
- are we going to take seriously that statement on "restraint"? after all the lies, internal witch hunting, sanctions, coups, wars, invasions, genocides, and last but not least, 2 unnecessary nuclear strikes on Japan?
Now, on "culture, values, and diplomacy". Sure. Why not. Not everything was going to be bad, right?
But the thing is, abusive husbands aren't bad all the time either. From time to time they know how to be sweet and seem to care: one present here, flowers the next day, a little bit of gaslighting, and fake apologies after that "accidental" slap.
Given enough time (if the wife is still alive), at some point the victim decides to leave, and then all hell breaks loose. Trump is the manifestation of that moment. He does not represent a change in #USA's nature, but a hidden side that was "always" there, just waiting to play its role.
Others believe this is because #US citizens have been intentionally dumbed down by a combination of propaganda and a disfunctional education system, and I'm sure it's partly true... But let's see what many of their most brilliant and educated citizens are choosing to do with their lives today: sfstandard.com/2025/03/12/stan
So, all I'm asking is: please drop the act. It was always a clusterfuck.

Every other year the sentiment towards The Simpsons swings from "I don't mind, they're having fun with what they have, the show is even getting a little introspective" to "They should've ended 20 years ago, which is coincidentally when I stopped watching TV in general" either relative indifference or wishing the medium of television didn't make it through the 00s.

Des chimpanzés ont été observés en train de partager des fruits contenant de l'alcool - pas dans des quantités suffisantes pour s'enivrer, mais un peu comme l'effet d'une bière.

A frame from CarBot's parody of Diablo 3 intro. Cain stands inside the half-ruined Tristram cathedral, dramatically raising hands and looking at the sky through the hole in the roof, at the approaching comet. "It has began," he proclaims.

"The Tax Foundation is a veteran anti-tax campaign organization from the United States. It has been around since 1937 when it was founded by top brass from companies such as Standard Oil and General Motors. Close links to some of the biggest corporations in the US has been a constant feature of the organization, as has its political aim of bringing down taxes"
#lobbying

Opaque US anti-tax foundation to advise EU Commission | Corporate Europe Observatory
A US think tank that recently opened a Brussels office to lobby for aggressively lower taxes is received with open arms by the Commission. But who is behind the organisation, and who funds it? The Transparency Register fails to reveal dark money flows – in the Tax Foundation’s case from US right-wing libertarian sources – and as such clearly needs a make-over.

Donald Trump is currently transforming the U.S. into an authoritarian state, argues Harvard Professor Steven Levitsky, author of "How Democracies Die." And he is using an unexpected twist in the authoritarian playbook to do so.

L'économie russe va mal, et tant mieux

Économie russe : pour la première fois en 2025, le pétrole et le gaz ne compenseront plus l’explosion des dépenses militaires (+90% en trois ans de guerre) | Le Grand Continent
Depuis le début de la guerre à haute intensité en 2022, l’économie russe a profondément changé. Poussée par l’augmentation nette des dépenses de défense (+90 % depuis 2021), la part du secteur public dans la création de valeur ajoutée brute au sein de l’économie russe a augmenté de plus de 18 % depuis fin 2021, alors que celle représentée par les soins de santé a diminué de plus de 5 %.
