The FBI just shot and killed an elderly brother in our ward. Financial clerk for years. Sweet guy. Full swat team. My wife is good friends with his neighbor, she and her 5 yr old were terrorized. Wife went to check on her. His body is still laying in the street. My God.

Having a negative view of masculinity damages boys’ & men’s mental health.

“Brand new research assessing the views of over 4000 men found that thinking masculinity is bad for your behaviour is linked to having worse mental wellbeing.

Around 85% of respondents thought the term ‘toxic masculinity’ is insulting, and probably harmful to boys.

Although the direction of causation isn’t definite (do negative views about masculinity damage mental wellbeing, or does low mental wellbeing cause men to view masculinity negatively) it is clear that negative views of masculinity are linked to wellbeing to a significant degree.

On the other hand, having a positive view of masculinity is linked to better mental wellbeing.

This fits with other evidence – typically overlooked in the media and elsewhere - that masculinity can be beneficial to mental health.

Indeed this news is no surprise to the average person in the street, many of whom recognise the value of masculinity much more people in academia, the media and government.

There are rare exceptions, but the majority of information about masculinity we are exposed to is unreasonably negative, so you can be forgiven for thinking that men are the oppressors of women rather than the protectors of women.

Interestingly, this study found that better mental wellbeing was associated with believing masculinity makes men protective of women.

And worse mental wellbeing was associated with believing masculinity makes men feel violent towards women.

One of the implications of the study was that “if we want men to have good mental health, a useful strategy might be to help them to appreciate the ways in which their masculinity can have a positive impact on their behaviour and the people around them”.

So the message to schools, the media, governments and NGOs is: there is more to be gained by being positive, so it’s time to stop being so negative about men and masculinity.” — Dr John Barry

Myth: This year's hot temps show that fossil fuels are already making Earth unlivably hot.

Truth: This year's hot temps are part of a slow warming trend on a planet where far more people die from cold than from heat, and where we need fossil fuels to protect us from both.

This one really impacted me for the better. Specifically why building your identity around “diamond hand” saving might not be the most fulfilling strategy long term https://t.co/kUzTnDBQs0

El presidente de El Salvador, Nayib Bukele anuncia:

- Reducción enorme del tamaño del Estado
- Las 262 alcaldías del país pasarán a ser 44.
- Los 82 curules en el congreso ahora serán 60.
- Guerra contra la corrupción: los delitos de corrupción no prescriben y perseguirán a quiénes hayan defraudado al Estado.

La razón para eliminar tantas alcaldías y reorganizar la estructura territorial es aligerar la carga pública, la burocracia, agilizar la economía y reducir la corrupción del Estado.
