"Compared to men, women are less pro-free speech and more pro-censorship. Within academia itself, they are more left-wing, more inclined toward activism, and less inclined toward dispassionate inquiry. And they’re disproportionately represented in disciplines like Race and Gender Studies. It’s important to note, of course, that this is Not All Women! I’m only talking about averages: some men are pro-censorship than most women; and some women are more pro-free speech than the vast majority of men. Nonetheless, the differences do exist (at least in the Anglosphere)."

TIL that the reason printers refuse to print without yellow ink is because they print a Machine Identification Code on every page, leaving a unique microscopic pattern of yellow dots that say what the serial number and model of the printer is, allowing the documents to be traced back to the owner.

🇺🇲 There are rumors among US Democrats that at the convention in August 2024, Biden will “make a grand gesture” and withdraw his candidacy from the presidential election.
According to Der Spiegel, he will propose to nominate former first lady Michelle Obama instead.
This possibility is being discussed so seriously in Washington that the Democratic Party included Michelle Obama in its public opinion polls, the newspaper notes.
The American media wrote back in September that many supporters of the US Democratic Party would like to see Michelle Obama as a candidate.

A South Korean fusion reactor just hit a milestone by running plasma at a whopping 100 million degrees Celsius for 48 seconds – that’s seven times hotter than the Sun! This breakthrough moves us closer to harnessing nuclear fusion, mimicking the energy of stars for a cleaner, limitless power source.
The secret to this success? Upgrading the reactor’s divertor to tungsten, allowing it to withstand extreme heat without reacting with the plasma. This led to another achievement: maintaining plasma in an efficient “H-mode” for 102 seconds. South Korea aims to push this to 300 seconds by 2026, a bold step towards sustainable energy.
Here’s to future breakthroughs in powering our world of @science! 🚀

"Nerds become in love with their ideas, even when they’re wrong. Architecture astronauts, mRNA enthusiasts, marxists and other schools of economics, diet loons, snake-oil pharmaceutical salesmen, “experts” in most fields -these are ideologies that people can’t course correct without losing face. Since being “smart” is all a nerd has, they stick with shitty ideas even unto their actual deaths. Actually intelligent people play with ideas, consider where they might be useful and where they might break down."

US may intervene if Ukraine loses, — Congressman Jeffries
House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries said the United States must continue to support Ukraine to prevent a wider war, blaming a "pro-Putin faction" in the Republican Party for delaying aid to fight Russia.
"We cannot allow Ukraine to lose, because if it does, there is a significant likelihood that America will have to get involved in the conflict — not just with our money, but with the help of our servicemen and women," Jeffries said in an interview with CBS News.
According to him, Russian President Vladimir Putin is trying to recreate the Soviet Union, threatening NATO allies.
"Are we really supposed to believe that in the face of such consistent aggression, if we allow Vladimir Putin to succeed in Ukraine, he will only stop in Ukraine? Of course not," Jeffries noted.

The Divine Comedy was written by Dante Alighieri between 1308 and 1321.
While the exact start and finish dates are debated by scholars, it is known that Dante began writing the poem sometime around 1308, during his exile from Florence. He likely continued working on it until his death in 1321.
