Anti-trans movement . . I know this exists. I tried to start a draft article here- Anti-trans movement, but it's difficult. I know what it is, but the concept or name for this phenomena might need to be pinned down better. It's not a cohesive "movement", but I guess many political movements aren't.

Anyway, I know it when I see it. But parsing who is reasonable within this discourse, what regular people think, parsing competitive domains from other area of trans rights like bathroom debates or other forms of discrimination is a tall order for me off the dome. Might come back to it after a break.

• Liberty activist / Liberty activism .. tried to create this once as a redirect, but someone in Europe said my terminology was backwards by trying to indicate 'liberty activist' with a cluster of 'conservative' political strains.

I just looked back at that conversation and it was not fulsome. But the delete process doesn't require much. Admin nerd's gonna admin nerd lol.

• Yung Skrrt .. prominent ipso facto being linked here
• Palestinian-Israeli issue . . let's explore this English language phraseology that sounds sorta strange, here--- Palestinian-Israeli issue.

_ _

• "extremist settlers" .. used by a US state department spokesperson recently, describing recent outbreaks of violence by settlers against Palestinians in the West Bank
• not only is there no redirect right now at gender absolutism, the phrase appears nowhere on the platform. amazing!

UPDATE: the article "anti-gender movement" has terrible title in my view. The subject matter is legit, but not sure how much pains it goes to to shoehorn the made up topic name into the coverage/ content. It seems that perhaps outside the US & Canada, people use the term "gender" to identify all modern discussions of gender. Which is confusing if you're US or Canadian. These people aren't against "gender" lol. If anything they're affirming the simple idea of a binary or whatever. Seems to me the real term they use is "gender ideology" which could also be confusing, but rings out clearly. You know what side they're on when you hear that. idk, shit is weird.

earlier

• I think my whole new brand is going to be called "good liberal". This is fucken brillante, bro.

• tooling around & tryina update my personal 'Gun culture in the US' blurb that I wrote last year. It's basically for fun now but also for reframing & stating simple obvious facts & relationships that are for whatever reason not easily portrayed in various high profile places on wikip.

• I wish the Pricemaster meme was covered on wikip somewhere. I don't know if it's notable. meanwhile, we have the know your meme article for it. maybe that's good enough

• Where the topic Indian American muslims at? UPDATE: I found a target for a redirect for now. I still wish is was a bigger section somewhere. Maybe not quite an article yet.

• July 21 I want to make an observation. please correct me if I'm missing something. 'WWG1WGA' is supposed to be a Qanon slogan, repeatedly cited as being a reference to The Matrix. Do they mean the original film? even if it were from one of those god forsaken sequels, I can't find it anywhere. Why do people say that's from that movie if it's not? so weird. That's the definition of misinformation. (And let's ask- misinfo by whom? It's not even clear, which is even more frustrating.)

• TLDR News should be an article. They are based in the UK and seem to have a decent network of resources. They have at least three YouTube channels (beyond their main channel which is UK-focused):
  • TLDR News EU
  • TLDR News Global
  • TLDR News US

• what is a "bankster"? lol. I kinda hate this term but it comes up from time to time when people are criticizing high-level financial policy in the modern Western world. They argue that financialization of so many parts of our economy is bad.
• The Debrief . . a site that broke a story about claims about the US Defense Department possessing craft ("spacecraft") of "non-human origin" in Jun 2023
• Here's a nice thing I'm working on : u/Streaming channels/Roku. Tryina map out the world of "free channels that are just there" when you plug in your new smart TV in the current age. and I don't have the verbiage all quite right, but it's a project.

• Decentralized unitary state ... à la Denmark.

• Viral Hemorrhagic Fever Consortium . . fuckin shady bro. thanks for the tip Ryan Grim on COUNTERPOINTS/ Breaking Points.
• I think a Google Knowledge Graph item for the COVID lab leak theory has been created or made public or however that works. If you google lab leak now, A small panel off to the right side of the screen appears. It's small though lol. It's a snippet of the wikipedia article for the COVID-19 lab leak theory. but somehow not for lab leak theory Interesting.
  • UPDATE- june 2023: that knowledge graph object/ info panel is gone now for me when searching either query lab leak or lab leak theory. Still interesting.

recent creations

• Streaming channel . . moved to draftspace March 31. 😭 . . see u/Streaming channel
• exit (investing)

still red links

• National Security Council Coordinator for Strategic Communications. Could be a recently-made-up position. Currently filled by John Francis Kirby. This is the guy who came out to the White House Press briefing room on Feb 27 2023 to tell the world "we don't know yet" about the lab leak hypothesis, "there's no agreement within the government" and "this should be 'a whole of government' effort" to get to the bottom of-- to find out the origin of SARS-CoV-2. This was after a classified Energy report was released to some news outlets saying they have "low confidence" that it came from a lab.
