The U.S. and Russia Are Running a Joint Operation to Save Orbán in Hungary Days before Hungary’s April 12 election, the Vice President of the United States flew to Budapest to campaign for Viktor Orbán.

Days before Hungary’s election, Vance flew to Budapest to campaign for Orbán, while Russia is working from the shadows to keep him in power.

My latest on the US-Russia joint operation to save Orbán, and why Americans should pay attention...

Meanwhile the American vice-president is in Budapest to back up Orbán, Putin’s main ally in Europe, and repeating Russian slanders about Ukraine. Vance and Orbán are both part of a far right network ultimately funded by Russia. (7/14)

More than 100 killed as Israel strikes central Beirut after saying Iran truce doesn't apply there Israeli strikes have hit central Beirut without warning, causing panic after the announcement of the ceasefire in the U.S.-Israeli war with Iran.

After Iran agreed to open the Strait, they've already closed it again.

Why? Israel won’t stop bombing Lebanon.

More than 1,000 Lebanese have been killed since Israel began launching missiles in March. The attacks on civilian infrastructure—schools, hospitals, neighborhoods—are unconscionable.

My heart is with all Lebanese people who have to suffer because of an insecure fascist man-child currently leading the US and another fascist leader of Israel, trying to gaslight the world into thinking it's everyone else's fault. If 3rd world war comes, it will be on Trump and Netanyahu.

Israel — the world’s most prolific killer of journalists and media workers — killed three more journalists in Lebanon today:

— Fatima Ftouni (Al Mayadeen TV)
— Ali Shoeib (Al Manar TV)
— Mohammed Ftouni (photojournalist)

Florida bans sociology from core curriculum at state universities For years, Republican lawmakers and education leaders have argued that sociology — especially high-enrollment introductory courses — has been overtaken by progressive ideology

The full story of the situation in Florida.

1. Universities will no longer have (already censored) Intro to Sociology as general ed course.

2. Colleges will have far-right version of Intro to Sociology as general ed course.

That's on me: a review of "It's on You" written by them, from me, just for you! It’s On You by Nick Chater and George Loewenstein makes a clear and compelling case: many of society’s most persistent problems stick around not because we lack solutions, but because powerful actors ...

Some thoughts on the book It's on You by Chater and Loewenstein, and on behavioural science and its impact on public policy design more generally:

Fourth, powering for interactions is a general challenge in empirical science because it has tremendous power issues, so calling for it is less important than discussing how it is practically feasible given resource limitations.

Third, why is focus on single interventions to test effectiveness a problem, given that in policy-practice, not just one (or “the best”) intervention is implemented, but several together?

Not sure about these arguments. First, scientists do not “search” for the best intervention: They just test if certain interventions work. Second, why do you expect that interventions in combination work differently than in isolation?

7/7 What this looks like in practice: map the system (actors + determinants + feedback loops), identify policy levers, and design for virtuous cycles—e.g., better guidance + trust + quality/safety confidence → higher demand for redistributed food → more redistribution → more momentum.

I argue we must move beyond isolated “nudges.” Food waste/redistribution behaviours emerge from interacting incentives, regulations, infrastructure, norms, and perceptions. At the Competence Centre on Behavioural Insights (CCBI), we use a behavioural systems lens across the policy cycle.

My chapter contribution 🇪🇺🥕: Applying behavioural systems analysis to help the EU reach legally binding food waste targets—reducing per-capita food waste at retail + consumption by 30% by 2030 (vs 2020). These targets are behavioural at their core.

Key findings (in one breath): resilience isn’t just awareness or infrastructure. It’s also aspiration, affordability, habit, equity, Indigenous knowledge, and the social structures that make some choices easy—and others impossible.

It's a collection of essays + case studies + applied behavioural research across Africa, Europe, and Asia—grounded in fieldwork with farmers, extension agents, communities, and practitioners working in food systems, insurance, nutrition & policy.

Core idea: climate outcomes are the sum of everyday decisions shaped by trust, norms, risk perception, identity, and institutions. The book asks why “climate-smart” solutions stall—and how behavioural + systems thinking can unblock adoption.
