If El-Sayed is capable of weaving his visceral grasp of many voters’ fury and despair at Israeli ethnic cleansing with a recognition of the terror American Jews feel in the face of rising antisemitism, it might be a turning point in this race https://t.co/3oA614m1Zb #ElSayed #Antisemitism #IsraeliConflict #IL #US

Five Lessons on Aggression and Dominance “There is a point in the history of society when it becomes so pathologically soft and tender that… it sides even with those who harm it.” Friedrich Nietzsche wrote this nearly 140 years ago, yet it still sounds contemporary. In *Chimpanzee Politics*, Frans de Waal shows that dominance, aggression, hierarchy and confrontation—often dismissed in humans as “toxic masculinity”—also appear in our closest relatives. These behaviors may reflect deep-rooted drives, not merely social constructs. **1. The threat of violence can keep the peace** Most chimp confrontations are displays, not fights. Only about 0.4% of male confrontations become physical. Rank depends on strength, alliances, displays and recognition. Violence matters partly because it is rare: conflict must be allowed to resolve before it escalates. **2. When respect disappears, violence rises** Chimpanzees maintain hierarchy through formal greetings, including bowing. At Arnhem, 22 of 37 serious male fights occurred when males had stopped greeting one another—even though such periods made up less than a quarter of observation time. Violence was nearly five times more likely when recognition rituals broke down. **3. Power requires alliances** Before challenging the dominant male, a chimp often grooms females and plays with their young. Like Machiavelli’s political challengers, he builds support before attempting to seize power. **4. Influence can replace force** Female chimps sometimes recruit males to attack rivals, signaling distress and flattering the enforcer while avoiding the fight. Power can operate through alliances and influence, not just strength. **5. Concentrated resources create conflict** Chimpanzees normally forage for scattered food, limiting competition. When humans provide concentrated food, aggression rises. Larger groups are also harder to govern because familiarity declines and hierarchies become unstable. Stable societies may require hierarchy, respect, controlled confrontation and distributed power. Suppressing every expression of dominance may not eliminate conflict; it may remove mechanisms that keep conflict contained.

Nová pravidla podle šéf inženýrů: Pyrotechnika = trestný čin. Zahalený obličej = trestný čin. Národní registr závadových fanoušků. Face recognition kamery na stadionech. Tohle už není model ala Anglie nebo Německo. Jde o naprosté šílenosti, které připravuje úzký seznam vybraných fotbalových bafuňářů a politiků. Jde jim opravdu o bezpečnost na fotbalových stadionech? My jsme přesvědčeni, že nejde. Mohli by nám předkladatelé ukázat fakta, data a vůbec jakékoliv podklady na základě kterých se rozhodují? Ve většině evropských zemí nejsou kamery s face recognition plošně nasazeny. Jde zatím pouze o jednotlivé kluby, konkrétní stadiony nebo policejní nasazení. Česká republika je bezpečná země. Na našich stadionech je bezpečno. Kriminalita v souvislosti s konáním sportovních utkání, podle údajů samotné Policie ČR, rok od roku stabilně klesá. Současná legislativa je podle našeho názoru naprosto dostačující. Navíc. Kdo bude rozhodovat, kdo je „rizikový fanoušek“? Kde je nějaká otevřená veřejná diskuze? Rozhoduje se o fanoušcích a ti jsou opět z celého procesu vyloučeni. A hlavně: kde tohle celé skončí? Napiš nám do komentáře svůj úhel pohledu. #bezpečnost #fotbal #diskuze
Interesting study. The principle of mutual recognition, rather than full regulatory harmonisation, is key to restoring Europe’s diversity, competitiveness and capacity for innovation. #MutualRecognition #EUDiversity #Innovation

“Do not provoke Putin,” says President Zelensky — while Ukraine is striking Russian military and strategic infrastructure every day. And Kosovo recognition is supposedly too provocative? Putin already used the Kosovo precedent as propaganda to justify Russia’s seizure and illegal #Ukraine #Putin #Kosovo #UA #RU #XK
Freeze all EU funding for Ukraine until Kyiv recognizes the Republic of Kosovo. Ukraine rightly asks Europe for solidarity, sovereignty and respect for international law. Kosovo deserves the same principle. Recognition of Kosovo should be a clear political condition for further (translated)
The parties to the conflicts have extreme positions, which means war until someone's capitulation and victory. Peace is possible only with very large compromises. The highest manifestation of wisdom is ignoring insults and challenges. The more attention is paid to them, the more passions are inflamed. Ignoring blocks the initiative/aggressiveness/. The wars in Ukraine and Iran are probably coordinated. They will not be able to be resolved separately. The EU and Ukraine's peace proposal is an ultimatum for Russia's capitulation, which is unacceptable. Russia needs very big concessions to end both wars. Recognition of the Russian language as the state language for Ukraine. Ukraine a state of two peoples, Russians and Ukrainians. Ukraine to be equally connected to Russia and the West. Ukraine will not be accepted and tolerated by Russia as an anti-Russian factor. Without these conditions, both wars will not stop. The plan for Russia's exhaustion and capitulation is too ambitious and most likely unfeasible. The situation is intolerable for the whole world and cannot continue. Стороны конфликтов занимают крайние позиции, что означает войну до тех пор, пока кто-то не капитулирует и не одержит победу. Мир возможен только при очень больших компромиссах. Высшее проявление мудрости — игнорирование оскорблений и вызовов. Чем больше внимания им уделяется, тем сильнее разгораются страсти. Игнорирование блокирует инициативу/агрессивность. Войны на Украине и в Иране, вероятно, скоординированы. Разрешить их по отдельности не удастся. Мирное предложение ЕС и Украины — это ультиматум России на капитуляцию, что неприемлемо. России нужны очень большие уступки, чтобы положить конец обеим войнам. Признание русского языка государственным языком Украины. Украина — государство двух народов, русских и украинцев. Украина должна быть в равной степени связана с Россией и Западом. Украина не будет принята и терпима Россией как антироссийский фактор. Без этих условий обе войны не прекратятся. План истощения и капитуляции России слишком амбициозен и, скорее всего, неосуществим. Ситуация невыносима для всего мира и не может продолжаться.
Larkin Poe is an American roots rock band led by sisters Rebecca Lovell and Megan Lovell. The band originated in north Georgia and is currently based in Nashville, Tennessee. Known for their strong southern harmonies, heavy electric guitar riffs, steel guitar, Larkin Poe often draws comparisons to the style of the Allman Brothers. The Lovell sisters have gained recognition for their energetic performances and musical prowess. The band's history began with the Lovell Sisters, an acoustic music trio formed in 2005 with their older sister, Jessica Lovell. After releasing independent albums and touring for four years, the Lovell Sisters disbanded in 2009. In 2010, Rebecca and Megan Lovell regrouped as Larkin Poe, taking their band name from their great-great-great-great-grandfather, a cousin of Edgar Allan Poe. https://hvdommelen.nl/lp/LarkinP.html
Mr. President Macron, @emmanuelmacron, thank you for recognising the State of Palestine. But recognition alone does not end the occupation. Join the call for the release of Marwan Barghouti, Palestine’s most popular leader and a unique hope for freedom and peace. #Palestine #FreeBarghouti #Peace #PS #FR
Saint John of God’s must recognise the vital work dementia carers do at St Joseph's. These workers provide essential care to some of the most vulnerable people in our society. It's time for action to give them the pay, conditions, and recognition they deserve. https://t.co/fuWdWJRitz #DementiaCare #HealthWorkers #Recognition #Thetweetdoesnotmentionanyspecificcountries.Therefore #therearenocountrycodestoreturn.

Justice has been delayed for the Creagh Lane survivors for far too long. For years, these men have fought for truth, justice and recognition. Their courage has never wavered. Now the State must match that courage. I stand in solidarity with the survivors and their families. https://t.co/C2NVTwGa0N #JusticeForCreaghLane #SurvivorSolidarity #FightForTruth #Thetweetdoesnotmentionanyspecificcountries.
