GameStop, Bitcoin and QAnon: How the Wisdom of Crowds Became the Anarchy of the Mob - WSJ

As we see internet-fueled, alternate-reality manias continue to proliferate, the lesson is this: These freak outbursts are not going away. From the Rohingya ethnic cleansing in Myanmar and WhatsApp-related killings in India to the Capitol riot and the stock-market takeover, these individual phenomena are each unlikely, but social media all but guarantees more of them. The leverage the algorithms provide for those who wish to spread these ideas, however extreme, gives them the ability to reach us all.

Joe Biden outlines ambitious climate change agenda: “Environmental justice will be at the center" | Salon.com

This is the boldest climate plan that has ever been put forward by an American president," Dr. Michael E. Mann, a distinguished professor of atmospheric science at Penn State University, told Salon by email. "It is comprehensively addressing every facet of the climate issue, from the need to block new fossil fuel infrastructure, to clean energy stimulus, to leadership in the global community, to addressing climate in matters of security, defense, finance, agriculture, and recognizing the need to help out front line communities and those displaced by the necessary transition away from fossil fuels."

Mimic gypsy moths

Mimic® 2LV Insecticide mimics the action of the natural insect hormone 20-hydroxyecdysone, the physiological inducer of the molting and metamorphosis process in insects. Mimic 2LV is highly active against most lepidopterous larvae while having practically no activity at typical use rates against other orders of insects. Mimic 2LV controls lepidopterous larvae through a novel mode-of-action by the induction of a premature lethal molt, which initiates within hours of ingestion of treated crop surfaces. Contact activity has also been observed in some insects. Actual death of the larvae will take several days to occur, although feeding by the insects generally ceases within 24 hours of ingestion.

Federal authorities warn that the Capitol breach will be a ‘significant driver of violence.’ - The News Now

The federal officers wrote that extremist teams have considered the breach of the Capitol as a success and have been galvanized by the dying of Ashli Babbitt, a QAnon follower who was shot by the police as she tried to enter the closely protected Speaker's Lobby, simply exterior the House chamber. The extremists might understand that dying as "an act of martyrdom," in accordance with the bulletin.

The Capitol breach, in addition to conspiracy theories from QAnon, will seemingly encourage such extremists "to engage in more sporadic, lone-actor or small-cell violence against common" violent extremist "targets, including racial, ethnic, or religious minorities and institutions, law enforcement, and government officials and buildings," in accordance with the bulletin.

The federal officers additionally wrote that "the shared false narrative of a 'stolen' election," the false declare perpetuated by President Trump, "may lead some individuals to adopt the belief that there is no political solution to address their grievances and violent action is necessary."
