Many issues stemming from corporate politics have accumulated at Mozilla (both the enterprise and the foundation), and now we have underread cronies who are failing upwards, eroding what little trust – actual human trust, not the shareholder fetish sort – persisted towards Firefox.

Trump projects so consistently. Problems with Somali pirates around the horn of Africa persisted for years and Trump says he hates the Somalis and they should be banned from the US. And now who is pirating ships? Trump! And King George was pirating American vessels, causing the War of 1812.

Gen X had a few moments that shifted the culture or vibe. The Challenger disaster in 1986 took place & ended the peak of American Optimism, Kurt Cobain's death in 1994 felt like the death of the genuine counter culture, even though the underground music scene persisted.

The only place I ever had it was in the local indie club I frequented as a lad. It was a bit of a tradition that I would buy a shot for my friends on their birthdays. I don't think anybody but me enjoyed it, but still I persisted.

Plausible deniability strikes again.
![Insufficient confounder control
The authors write in the abstract that the “[e]ffects persisted after adjusting for linguistic, physical, social and sociopolitical exposomes.” This is true but also easily misunderstood: They only controlled for one exposome at a time. Hence, it is possible that the mono/multilingualism variables acted as a proxy for some of the exposomes that weren’t considered in the analysis.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:gz53felr7btxgmbxae5aooxi/bafkreibssiqhzc6afx57cm7tefl2d73yei54bqbd4ynzev4jmqnhep3dva@jpeg)

Trump admin threatens retaliation against Spotify and others over EU tech regulation
US Trade Representative: The European Union and certain EU Member States have persisted in a continuing course of discriminatory and harassing lawsuits, taxes, fines, and directives against U.S. service providers. U.S. services companies provide substantial free services to EU citizens and reliable enterprise services to EU companies, and they support millions of jobs and more than $100 billion in direct investment in Europe. The United States has raised concerns with the EU for years on these matters without meaningful engagement or basic acknowledgement of U.S. concerns. In stark contrast, EU service providers have been able to operate freely in the United States for decades, benefitting from access to our market and consumers on a level playing field.

At the time of writing, ETH is trading near $2,930, according to CoinMarketCap data. That places the asset […]

“Even when midwifery became regulated, […] an anti-establishment and anti-government ethic persisted, with some women criticizing the compromises the […] midwives were willing to make. Women […] posit now that even registered midwives have been co-opted by a medical institutional complex.”
Tragic consequences for an anti-vax trucker convoy attendee who wanted no medical personnel at her home birth, not even a midwife. When she belatedly went to hospital & Dr told her the baby was dead, she went to a different hospital for a second opinion. (Gift link)
