I have given some thought to our recent correspondence. It is always difficult to decide on how to respond to people whose ethos is so alien and, in fact, repellent to one&#8217;s own. It is not that I take exception to the general points made by you but that every ounce of my energy has been devoted to an active opposition to cruel bigotry, compulsive violence, and the sadistic persecution which has characterised the philosophy and practice of fascism.</p> <p>I feel obliged to say that the emotional universes we inhabit are so distinct, and in deepest ways opposed, that nothing fruitful or sincere could ever emerge from association between us.</p> <p>I should like you to understand the intensity of this conviction on my part. It is not out of any attempt to be rude that I say this but because of all that I value in human experience and human achievement.</p> <p>Yours sincerely,</p> <p>Bertrand Russell</p> </blockquote><p><a href="https://mastodon.nz/@leighelse/115215820016026934">Via leighelse{}@leighelse@mastodon.nz</a>, among others.</p> </body></html></description><pubDate>2025-09-17T01:15:27</pubDate></item><item><title></title><link>https://www.flutterby.com/archives/comments/34658.html</link><description><html><body><p><a href="https://www.flutterby.net/Image%3a2025-09-16AhFFSManTranslateToEnglish.png"><img width="160" style="float: right; " alt="" height="77" src="https://www.flutterby.net/files/images/2025/09/16/160px-2025-09-16AhFFSManTranslateToEnglish.png"/></a>I think it's the "Translate to English" on this YouTube "Ah ffs man" comment that really makes it shine.</p> </body></html></description><pubDate>2025-09-17T00:55:02</pubDate></item><item><title>thing about reading your phone while</title><link>https://www.flutterby.com/archives/comments/34657.html</link><description><html><body><p>The thing about reading your phone while walking in daylight is fuck any designer who thinks that low contrast design is a good idea.</p> </body></html></description><pubDate>2025-09-17T00:15:01</pubDate></item><item><title></title><link>https://www.flutterby.com/archives/comments/34656.html</link><description><html><body><p><a href="https://www.flutterby.net/Image%3a2025-09-16AhFFSManTranslateToEnglish.png"><img style="float: right; " width="160" src="https://www.flutterby.net/files/images/2025/09/16/160px-2025-09-16AhFFSManTranslateToEnglish.png" height="77" alt=""/></a>I think it's the "Translate to English" on this YouTube "Ah ffs man" comment that really makes it shine.</p> </body></html></description><pubDate>2025-09-16T22:55:02</pubDate></item><item><title>Anybody else see their inclusion in the</title><link>https://www.flutterby.com/archives/comments/34655.html</link><description><html><body><p>Anybody else see their inclusion in the Charlie Kirk doxxing site as sort of a "blood on the doorposts"/Exodus 12:13 sort of thing?</p> </body></html></description><pubDate>2025-09-16T19:25:02</pubDate></item><item><title>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...olved_with_the_French_Resistance</title><link>https://www.flutterby.com/archives/comments/34654.html</link><description><html><body><p>For some reason, I keep loading these two pages from Wikipedia, and keep sighing, and closing the tabs again.</p> <p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horst_Wessel">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horst_Wessel</a></p> <p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_people_involved_with_the_French_Resistance">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...olved_with_the_French_Resistance</a></p> </body></html></description><pubDate>2025-09-16T01:45:02</pubDate></item><item><title>MAGA&#8217;s Doxing War Over Charlie Kirk Is Already Going Off the Rails</title><link>https://www.flutterby.com/archives/comments/34653.html</link><description><html><body><p><a href="https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/maga-doxing-war-over-charlie-192542060.html">MAGA&#8217;s Doxing War Over Charlie Kirk Is Already Going Off the Rails</a></p> <p>I just did a search for the "Charlie Kirk Data Foundation", got a URL that's serving invalid SSL, but...

The males, which had taken to foraging in an open garbage pit adjacent to a tourist lodge, had contracted bovine tuberculosis, and most died between 1983 and 1986.</p> </blockquote><p><a href="https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC387274/">A Pacific Culture among Wild Baboons: Its Emergence and Transmission</a></p> <blockquote><p>Reports exist of transmission of culture in nonhuman primates. We examine this in a troop of savanna baboons studied since 1978. During the mid-1980s, half of the males died from tuberculosis; because of circumstances of the outbreak, it was more aggressive males who died, leaving a cohort of atypically unaggressive survivors. A decade later, these behavioral patterns persisted. Males leave their natal troops at adolescence; by the mid-1990s, no males remained who had resided in the troop a decade before. Thus, critically, the troop's unique culture was being adopted by new males joining the troop. We describe (a) features of this culture in the behavior of males, including high rates of grooming and affiliation with females and a &#8220;relaxed&#8221; dominance hierarchy; (b) physiological measures suggesting less stress among low-ranking males; (c) models explaining transmission of this culture; and (d) data testing these models, centered around treatment of transfer males by resident females.</p> </blockquote><p><a href="https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC387271/">Peace Lessons from an Unlikely Source</a></p> <blockquote><p>Did I grow up in a land of sissies? Perhaps, but I am not mentioning this to decide whether violence in the media and our ability to grow immune to it&#8212;as I also have over the years&#8212;is desirable, or not. I simply wish to draw attention to the cultural fissures in how violence is portrayed, how we teach conflict resolution, and whether harmony is valued over competitiveness. This is the problem with the human species. Somewhere in all of this resides a human nature, but it is molded and stretched into so many different directions that it is hard to say if we are naturally competitive or naturally community-builders.</p> </blockquote></body></html></description><pubDate>2025-09-15T19:09:02</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
