[https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/desc.13544 by Adam Stanaland 15/7/24 WILEY]
When adult men are made to feel gender-atypical, they often lash out with aggression, particularly when they are pressured (vs. autonomously motivated) to be gender-typical.

  In Wednesday’s Daily Take  here on Hartmann Report, I mentioned Russell Kirk and the origins of today’s hard right GOP. A few people replied with, “Who’s that?” and similar questions; others were incredulous that Republicans actually believed the middle class created by FDR’s New Deal was a bad thing. So, here’s the backstory to what I mentioned.

=====Here is how we know that vaccines do not cause autism=====
 
[https://www.statnews.com/2025/02/03/vaccine-autism-rfk-jr-how-science-proves-vaccines-do-not-cause-autism/ by Matthew Herper 3/2/25 STAT]
Vaccines do not cause autism. You’ve almost certainly read that before — probably hundreds of times. But many people do not believe it, perhaps because too often it is repeated without a real explanation of how we know that.

It turns out the Musk/Trump suspension of USAID aid is hurting a lot of Americans, and a lot of MAGA Americans at that. You may wonder how cutting foreign aid is hurting Americans. It's really quite simple.

  When Donald Trump won November’s election, a small team working on a key new US government tool charting impacts of the climate crisis scrambled into action. They hastily renamed the resource to remove the word “climate” and quietly released it without fanfare in December, before Trump’s return to the White House.

  The North Dakota case is so deeply flawed – at its core, the trial was really about crushing dissent – that I believe there is a good chance it will be reversed on appeal and ultimately backfire against the Energy Transfer pipeline company.

=====Neuroscientists link low self-awareness to stronger brain reactions to moralized issues=====

[https://www.psypost.org/neuroscientists-link-low-self-awareness-to-stronger-brain-reactions-to-moralized-issues/#google_vignette by Eric W. Dolan 1/4/25 PsyPost]
 
A new study published in the journal Cognitive, Affective, & Behavioral Neuroscience reveals that people who hold strong moral convictions about political issues make decisions more quickly—but that these choices are shaped by both emotional brain responses and metacognitive ability. The research shows that moral conviction activates specific brain regions involved in emotion and cognitive control, and that people with lower self-awareness about their own decision accuracy show stronger brain responses to morally charged political issues.
