I hate to be the bearer of bad news but if infrastructure like this 👇 gets blown up, as of this moment it will take at least a decade to recover from this war - and the truth is that the world's energy picture is probably changed forever.
This single facility 👇produced roughly 20% of global LNG supply (aljazeera.com/news/2026/3/18…) and, as of 2011, had taken $70 billion to build (energyintel.com/0000017b-a7be-…).
What makes this even worse is that Iran's strike on this was retaliation after Israel attacked their South Pars gas field which draws from the same natural gas reservoir, which is the world's largest by far (9,700 km² - about the size of Qatar itself).
Heck, on the list of the 25 largest natural gas fields (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_n…) this single reservoir holds roughly 40% of their combined recoverable reserves - and is nearly 6 times bigger than the 2nd biggest field in the world. And, unlike many of the others on the list, it's only at 10% depletion (meaning 90% of the gas is still there).
Which means that, probably for many years, a huge share of the gas from the world's largest reservoir simply won't be extractable, as infrastructure on both sides - Qatar's and Iran's - has now been blown up.
From a global energy supply perspective, we're deep into worst-case scenario territory.

Australia’s fuel crisis is the fault of bipartisan governments who have stopped thinking of the sovereign interest, and leave us in a precarious position while supporting the war that got us here.

I don’t know what it will look like but it’s clear that there needs to be a new form of international, institutional and governmental coordination & cooperation for people interested in preventing the end of the world.

@pop_mycology This is such an insane claim. I tire of this guy being used as any kind of authority. There are some good papers showing how academically dishonest he is.

I’ve really started to wonder if psychiatrists who constantly deny any causality between parenting and development actually believe what they’re saying, or if they just think it’s what will make their audience feel validated

Dr. Russell Barkley shatters parenting myths: After age 21, home parenting has ZERO influence on core traits like personality or behavior—twin studies prove it. Peak impact? Before 7. Drops to ~6% by teens (15+). Genetics rules first, then peers/schools/neighborhoods take over. In 2026's "gentle parenting" era (trending amid debates on over-involvement vs. heritability), this frees you: Nail early years with stability/exposure, then trust the blueprint. Not guilt—empowerment. Grok can even help analyze family traits for smarter guidance. 59-sec clip on the data 👇 Parents/kids: Relief or rethink? What's your take on genetics vs. nurture wars?

@aspiringpeasant Good book, his version of therapy (somatic) is extremely helpful. Great for overthinkers or talkers. Straight to the source in the body.

*Strongly* recommend anyone interested in processing trauma read "Waking the Tiger" by Peter Levine. It's not the full answer but it's definitely *part* of an answer.
English
@psychgeist52 I've seen lots of prominent voices draw on twin studies to make outlandish claims such as these. There are lots of issues here, not only with the studies themselves but that one also has to ignore the plethora of literature in other fields which claim the diametric opposite.

@aspiringpeasant This line of political 'analysis' is fast becoming trite.

Holy shit this man melted his fucking brain.
Loved some of his books but good god this is not the same guy who wrote them.
John Michael Greer@JMGreerWriter
Mass formation is definitely going on, and the blank looks on the faces of so many leftists are part of that process -- their reactive behavior provides the thrust block against which the new dynamic is taking shape. Kirk's murder has become a rallying point not merely for the right, but for everyone on the center and center-left who was desperately sick of the antics and abuses of the extreme left but hadn't yet done anything about that. This is the kind of thing that leads to sudden shifts in the political and cultural zeitgeist -- and sometimes, to witch hunts and crusades.

Therapist today:
Trauma is experiential. When we process and experience it, it carves out space for a narrative. What that narrative does is create a structure for our experience where it can be contained, understood, and integrated so it no longer threatens to annihilate us.
English
@psychgeist52 Really greatly for the relational/ intersubjective theorists for inoculating me against seductive cliches.
English
All experience is a complex combination of these things, which makes such a position is almost tautological, empty of explanatory power. Everything is everything, and here's your drugs or CBT to help correct something or other.

He is correct. This is lunacy.

Israeli propagandists celebrating the fact that they didn’t execute 12 humanitarian activists like they did back in 2010 is pretty wild

Fantastically important if one wishes to understand how CO2/GHG reductionism is a bourgeois grift: the Environmentalism of the Rich! #capitalocene #capitaloceno
Arnaud Bertrand@RnaudBertrand
This is one of the most thought-provoking critiques I've heard on the current thinking around climate change and CO2. This is Olivier Hamant, Research Director at France's National Research Institute for Agriculture, Food and Environment (INRAE). Hamant explains that it's actually a counterproductive trap to laser focus on CO2 reduction, and even on climate, as we create "solutions" that actually "worsen the penury of resources, worsen global pollution and worsen the collapse of biodiversity." It's a bit like the story we often hear about the danger of AI, where an AI tasked with "eliminating cancer" decides the most efficient solution is to eliminate all humans. We've given our economic and political systems the narrow goal of "reducing atmospheric CO2," and these systems actually end up destroying the living world that actually regulates our climate. Hamant's alternative is elegantly simple: start with life, with biodiversity, which he says is "the most systemic lever" with positive impacts on climate, pollution and resource shortage. I've often been struck with the collapse of biodiversity and the lack of public attention on the topic. For instance a recent survey in the UK found that, in just the last 3 years alone, the insect population in the UK had collapsed by an astounding 63% (x.com/RnaudBertrand/…). Yet if you look at it, the UK is actually doing an extremely good job in terms of CO2 emissions, they've more than halved them since the 1970s (ourworldindata.org/co2/country/un…). So what gives? What's the point of reducing CO2 emissions if they're simultaneously literally destroying the very foundation of life in the country - the insects, plants, and ecosystems that sustain everything? It sounds like madness. Hamant is right that at the end of the day life is the litmus test, it all starts and ends with it. Maybe we need to start asking ourselves if we're not treating a symptom and killing the patient.

@DoctorPerin @smod4real Freud's accomplishments are now self evident to the point that we easily reject the parts of his work that don't.. work. In other words, Freud is unconscious.
English
I think he is foundational, but we have learned a lot since him. He wrote during the horse-and-buggy era 😂
My personal favorite work of his is ‘Civilization and its discontents’ but in terms of recommendations I would actually point you toward modern analytic writers like Glenn Gabbard and Nancy McWilliams

I am a student of a student of a student of Sigmund Freud. There’s something both grounding and humbling about being part of a tradition that was wrestled with, tested, challenged, and handed forward through mentorship. This does make some gentle knowledge hard to cite.
