Came across this summary that pulls together some of the recent findings on the links between commonplace (including ostensibly "harmless") pathogens and long-term harm to human health. The war on infectious diseases is far from over!

Jewish TFR in Israel on the other hand is 3.06. The demographic secret sauce of Israel is being an ultra nationalist state built on religious & ethnic grounds. Don’t see Italy, South Korea, Germany, Japan, Australia, Colombia, Brazil, or pretty much any other country emulating.

Newly arrived migrants in Germany show off their machete skills.

Several human extinction risks involve an event that sends up smoke and dust, blocks the sun, and creates a years-long winter: asteroid impact, nuclear winter, super-volcano. The low-extraversion, low-neuroticism people should have more chance of surviving this bottleneck.

"In Western Eurasian ancient DNA, Extraversion and Neuroticism polygenic scores decline as you go north ... exactly what an Arctic-adaptation story would predict." Able to handle long periods of quiet and boredom? Not prone to anxiety? You too could survive long dark winters.

Liels atvieglojums, ka bailes neizmanto vismaz faktčekeru politiskie mīlulīši un nebiedē cilvēkus, piemēram, sakot, ka pēc SIF likvidācijas beigsies arī demokrātija vai ka pēc kādas zināmas konvencijas denonsēšanas nākamajā dienā jau no paša rīta sāks sist sievietes.

First, they rewrite history. Then, they feed it to children. This isn't 'inclusion'—it's propaganda, plain and simple.

Ar tādu balsu sadalījumu Saeimas vietu sadalījums būtu aptuveni tāds: JV 20 (-6, salīdzinot ar iepriekšējām, 2022. gada Saeimas vēlēšanām), LPV 17 (+8), P 14 (+4), NA 13 (±0), AS 12 (-3), ZZS 10 (-6), SV 8 (+8), St 6 (-5).

Decline: German industrial production down to the level of 2005 Yet, the FT journalists studiously avoid mentioning the elephant in the room: Extremely high energy prices, mostly because of climate policy https://t.co/xiCA3aiQkX

Update on the wild #polio discovery in Germany: The virus was found in wastewater in Hamburg. @rki_de, the German public health agency, says the virus sequence is very similar to some isolated in Afghanistan, so the likely source was an infected human. (page 10 here:
