In May 1939, Marcel Déat penned his infamous article “Why die for Danzig?”, in which he argued that yielding to Hitler’s territorial ambitions would avert war. Four months later, Hitler invaded Poland. One year later, France itself got invaded, and Déat became a Nazi collaborator. Memory is a tricky thing. Sometimes the body preserves it best.

“The book claims that the Lithuanian nation and language do not exist.” You’d think it’s rather easy to fact-check this, but in a world where water can turn frogs gay and Satanic regimes are on the rise* it might not be so certain. https://www.lrt.lt/en/news-in-english/19/2550706/russia-publishes-book-on-lithuanian-history-preface-written-by-lavrov

Amidst the mild unease over the upcoming RU-BY military exercises, it’s worth remembering about their past iterations—especially the 2009 one, where NATO was cast as the target of a simulated nuclear strike. Fear is a poor advisor. (but, of course, neither will you find wisdom burying your head in the sand)

That LinkedIn post highlights a more fundamental issue. It’d get no attention if it simply stated: “The European Data Protection Board is conducting public consultation on processing of personal data through blockchain technologies”. It’s indeed more engaging when it reads more like: “Act now, or they’ll destroy everything you love!”. There’s a little problem, though. Can you really provide any feedback other than “fuck the regulations, dude” if you don’t even read what’s being proposed? The “DELETING ENTIRE BLOCKCHAINS” in question:

The most worrisome part: we’re dealing with a limited repertoire of demonstrably false claims whose source is easily traceable. If such basic propaganda proves chillingly effective, what havoc might a truly sophisticated disinformation campaign wreak?https://www.forbes.com/sites/emmawoollacott/2025/04/22/americans-believe-russian-disinformation-to-alarming-degree/

Tipping as a wholesome upper? We’ve long known that giving enhances well-being, and it doesn’t take a great donation for that boost to happen. But here's what may be more surprising: the benefits of this kind of prosocial behavior occur even when no social interaction is involved. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40014684/
