In response, the Justice and Development Party (PJD) condemned «in the strongest terms» the content published by the Global Sumud Flotilla, saying it contained «grave misrepresentations regarding the Moroccan Sahara» and had dragged the initiative into an issue unrelated to its mission. The party stressed that the flotilla was established by activists from different countries with the sole objective of helping break the Israeli blockade on the Gaza Strip. In a statement, the PJD's General Secretariat described the incident as «a grave mistake and a dangerous breach», warning that it could cost the initiative some of the popular support it had enjoyed. It added, however, that the episode would not alter «the established historical and legal facts regarding the Moroccanness of the Sahara and Morocco's sovereignty over its southern provinces», a matter it said enjoys broad national consensus and is reinforced by UN Security Council resolutions and the positions of several countries, including permanent members of the Council.

Second, my research and experience contradict received knowledge regarding the supposedly negative impact of removing the clitoris on women's sexuality. Much of this taken-for-granted information may come from popular misconceptions about the biological significance of the clitoris as the source of female orgasms. It is probable that such myths evolved as a result of the heightened focus on the female clitoris during the 1960s sexual revolution and subsequent discourses regarding women's sexual autonomy (Henrietta Moore, personal communication). The clitoris has come to be seen in Western societies as not only the paramount organ responsible for women's sexual pleasure but has also been elevated as the symbol of women's sexual independence because the latter suited women's objectives in asserting their sexual agency and rejecting previous constraining notions of their roles as wives and mothers. However, the presumptions that inform Kono women's values regarding female sexuality, as in other aspects of sociocultural life, emphasize sexual interdependence and complementarity, principles that are profoundly heterosexual. Western women's notions of the importance of the clitoris to female sexual autonomy can be contrasted with Bundu officials' stress on vaginal stimulation, which implies male penetration, and this emphasis glaringly suggests heterosexual intercourse, which is considered the socially ideal form of sexual relations because it leads to reproduction. My informants consider vaginal orgasm as independent of the clitoris but still fundamental to a woman's sexuality. Perhaps

He said: “This chapter of my teenage life was witless and intensely embarrassing and I compounded the idiocy with a boastful and ill-judged piece of student journalism a few years later. I don’t believe anyone who has known me as an adult would recognise the adolescent prat I have been describing here, but I’m sure many of us know of teenagers who have done worse too.” [A screenshot from the linked article, with the last sentence underlined in red]
@OmogeDami: ALL men benefit from the actions of violent men. It keeps women in check. It allows men perform the barest minimum and still feel good about themselves. The existence of violent men grants "good" men awards for basic decency.
Globally, about 90% of customary female genital modifications range from (1) procedures affecting the clitoral prepuce or hood that are typically less substantial than male circumcision as performed within the same communities (these are the most common forms of female and male genital cutting, respectively, in much of Southeast Asia, for example), to (2) cutting or excising tissue from the labia with or without removing part or all of the externally visible portion of the clitoris (glans clitoris) along with tissues from the prepuce (WHO FGM Types 1, 2, or 4) [51]. The least common type of ritual female genital modification is infibulation (WHO FGM Type 3), which refers to the narrowing of the vaginal opening by cutting and repositioning the labia to form a covering seal. This form, which is most strongly associated with efforts to ensure female sexual abstinence before marriage, makes up about 10% of customary female genital modifications globally and is geographically concentrated in parts of Northeast Africa. It is also disproportionately used to illustrate the concept of “FGM” in Western media [17, 21, 51].
Again, you are arrogantly wrong. The people who study FGM closely say that it is not done because of patriarchal domination. Each post you make you reveal that you believe a myth that the experts have debunked, my friend.

At the same time, the research offers a more hopeful takeaway. When respondents believe that generative AI will have positive social effects, women’s adoption rates increase markedly. This suggests the gender gap is not fixed or inevitable. Perceptions can change—and so can behavior.

Army obstruction International aid groups pulled out of conflict zones like Khartoum and Darfur early in the war, which was sparked by a power struggle between the SAF and the RSF – one driven by deeper political and social divisions and an effort to crush Sudan’s revolution. The international organisations set up a new hub in the eastern city of Port Sudan – the de facto capital in place of Khartoum but far away from conflict areas – leaving mutual aid groups, host families, and other local initiatives to shoulder the relief burden. The UN recognises the SAF-led government as the de facto authority, yet the regime has continuously hindered aid efforts in Port Sudan by delaying or denying aid worker visas and dragging out travel permits, even for missions to areas under its control.

Part of a paper's abstract: The analysis of self-reports confirmed that the proportion of pedophiles who report having been sexually abused in childhood by mature persons is larger than that of men who were not charged for or accused of a sex offense against a child though the difference is relatively small (28.6 vs. 13.9 and 10.7% for the heterosexual pedophiles and the two groups of gynephiles, respectively, and 25.9 vs. 11.8% for the homo0sexual pedophiles and androphiles, respectively). Further analysis demonstrated, however, that pedophiles who admitted having an erotic interest in children significantly more often claimed that they had been sexually abused as children than pedophiles who did not admit having such feelings. This interdependence renders the reliability of these self-reports questionable.
I demand that AI systems be evaluated for their psychological, emotional, and societal consequences before deployment, not after the damage has been done. Profit-driven models must prioritize human emotional, cognitive, and social welfare above revenue. There must be independent, empowered ethical review boards with the authority to assess, monitor, and halt practices that undermine human welfare or exploit psychological vulnerabilities. And I demand that workers, the actual human beings performing this labor, have a voice in governance. We are not disposable. Our experiences matter. Our testimony matters. The community of workers and the people affected by these systems must be incorporated into decisions about how AI is built, developed, deployed, and regulated. This is not just about better working conditions. This is about recognizing that you cannot build ethical AI on the foundation of exploited, traumatized human labor. If the training data comes from people who were psychologically destroyed in the process of creating it, then the technology itself is tainted from the start.
Twitter posts commenting on a clip. The clip (<2min) seems to be an interview with a white supremacist couple. The couple claims there's a genetic difference in skin color, IQ and other things. The interviewer argues that there isn't a scientific basis for the difference between races. @EricRWeinstein: "Try being patiently lectured by a String Theorist, who can’t remember the details of the Standard Model about “How physics works.” Or economists about the construction and indexing of the “Representative Consumer.” It’s exactly the same condescending pseudo academic experience." @skdh: "I would argue that denying a genetic basis of skin colour is on a different level than forgetting the details of the standard model, but same energy I guess."
Screenshot replying to @ riotlinguist.bsky.social post: "That's a lot of words to say that Nick Fuentes and Andrew Tate are very obviously closeted gay men who call literally everything gay because they hate themselves. This isn't just misogyny; it's homophobia as well; removing that from the equation leads to word salads like whatever the fuck this is."
