So...coming out of my patch test, the big change is that I need to remove amidoamine from my products.
In combination with my fragrance allergy, this is proving to be very difficult.
Amidoamine is pretty much everything in the ingredient list that is "...amine" or "...betaine" and more.
Doc gave me a special app to help.
I have to replace a lot of stuff *again*.
In just a few years I have gone from being a beauty junkie with no fewer than 4 shampoos and conditioners in my shower and up to 7 products in my hair on any given day to being grateful to continue to have *A* hairspray that I can use.

"In the nearly two years since Israel’s assault on Gaza began, at least initially in response to the Hamas attack on 7 October, over 60,000 Palestinians have been killed. Entire cities lie in ruins, starvation is widespread, and a growing chorus of international legal experts warn of a looming genocide. Despite this, the European Union continues its preferential trade and research partnership with Israel under the EU–Israel Association Agreement — an agreement that is conditional on respect for human rights. Calls to suspend it are growing across Europe, yet EU institutions have so far declined to act.
Marc Botenga, Member of the European Parliament (MEP) from the Workers’ Party of Belgium (PTB/PVDA) and Vice-Chair of the Left group in the European Parliament, has been a leading critic of the EU’s response to Israel’s actions in Gaza and the occupation of Palestinian territory. In April 2025, he proposed a resolution on the immediate suspension of the EU-Israel Association Agreement with a group of fifteen MEPs. Recently, he spoke with the Rosa Luxemburg Foundation’s Alexandra Gerasimcikova about his views and the next political steps the Left in Europe can take."

DHS Secretary Kristi Noem fires 24 FEMA IT staffers, including the CIO and CISO; DHS says they failed security protocols and let hackers access Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) networks
cross-posted from: programming.dev/post/36577114
FEMA Chief Information Officer (CIO) Charles Armstrong, Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) Gregory Edwards, and 22 other FEMA IT employees directly responsible were immediately terminated.While conducting a routine cybersecurity review, the DHS Office of the Chief Information Officer (OCIO) discovered significant security vulnerabilities that gave a threat actor access to FEMA’s network. The investigation uncovered several severe lapses in security that allowed the threat actor to breach FEMA’s network and threaten the entire Department and the nation as a whole.
The entrenched bureaucrats who led FEMA’s IT team for decades resisted any efforts to fix the problem. Instead, they avoided scheduled inspections and lied to officials about the scope and scale of the cyber vulnerabilities.
Failures included: an agency-wide lack of multi-factor authentication, use of prohibited legacy protocols, failing to fix known and critical vulnerabilities, and inadequate operational visibility.
FEMA spent nearly half a billion dollars on IT and cybersecurity measures in Fiscal Year 2025 alone and delivered virtually nothing for the American people. Despite burning hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars, FEMA’s IT leadership still neglected its basic duties and exposed the entire Department to cyberattacks.

Presumably by the time something goes wrong with local government decisions, the people responsible have moved on? (In some cases with brown envelopes to fall back on...)
Is there any precedent for holding government decision makers legally responsible after they've changed jobs?

The Inversion Of American Values
There’s a particular kind of person who cheers when the president deploys military forces against American cities over the objections of their elected leaders. They call themselves patriots. They wrap themselves in the flag while applauding the systematic demolition of everything that flag once represented. They claim to love America while celebrating the transformation of American governance into something the founders would have recognized as tyranny.

"[G]iven the post-neoliberal thrust of much Biden economic policy, why did Trump and the GOP end up walloping Democrats in last year’s election, especially among working-class voters? Khan’s answer, in short, is that the Bidenites didn’t have enough time.
“There’s no secret that people were very concerned about cost of living,” Khan says, by way of explaining Kamala Harris’s failure. “Initially, there was a surge in pricing during the pandemic, because there were legitimate supply-chain issues. As those supply-chain issues got resolved, prices didn’t come down as quickly. We have seen companies be quite open about how, be it the supply chain issues, be it tariffs, these can be very useful covers for inflating prices.”
Neoliberalism, she says, was too entrenched for post-neoliberalism to overcome in short order: “Big picture, the [Biden] administration in a whole bunch of economic domains really did break with the 40-year Reagan-Bush-Clinton neoliberal playbook…. But at the end of the day, you’re going to need more than four years to fully undo the destruction of that 40-year regime.”"

Gary is after a very specific goal and that’s tax wealth. But you should look at how he’s doing it he is rallying the people.
His argument is very direct and comprehensible:
Wealth drives poverty
If you don’t bring wealth disparity back to earth, your life will continue to become worse and he’s telling the middle class you’re not escaping this either because the very richest people will take everything from you too.
GhostOnTheHalfShell
in reply to GhostOnTheHalfShell • • •If you sit with these two statements, he’s driving home very important point:
wealth itself is the problem.
I think it one episode he wore a T-shirt with a slogan on it it’s a riff on Bill Clinton’s most potent political slogan
“It’s the wealth inequality stupid.”
GhostOnTheHalfShell
in reply to GhostOnTheHalfShell • • •@normjess
The second thing to realize about this is, he’s organizing people to assert their decision-making power over their lives again.
Cultural anthropologist to study social structure, define egalitarianism and equality as power flowing up hierarchy.
Dominance hierarchies the power flows down. The champ or gorilla at the top of the hierarchy bullies everybody else.
I’m saying this because to point out that it’s not capitalism.
GhostOnTheHalfShell
in reply to GhostOnTheHalfShell • • •@normjess
The egalitarian societies humans form have a very strong moral system that keeps the emergence of an individual or a group of people as a dominant group or individual in check.
That moral system is enforced by everyone. They jealously defend themselves from others taking control of the decision-making power, over people were over resources.
GhostOnTheHalfShell
Unknown parent • • •@benfell @normjess
This is where cultural anthropology has a lot to say.
I am currently reading through a book called “hierarchy in the forest” by Boehm.
They have a very clear definition of egalitarianism and a very clear analysis of house societies jealously defend power flowing upwards (egalitarianism).
Furthermore, they go on to say there are material conditions that favor egalitarianism or hierarchy, equality or hierarchy.
David Benfell, Ph.D. (he/him/his)
Unknown parent • • •@normjess
The very fact of a system of exchange system privileges whomever is most able to say no. Max Weber and others have pointed out that this inherently exacerbates economic inequality, ultimately leaving workers destitute while a few get rich.
Admittedly, Weber attributed this to capitalism, but the logic of his argument applies to *any* market system.
The only way to avoid it is to start with a perfectly level playing field and somehow--impossibly--to keep that field level.
Economics that works, then, applies the maxim from the Communist Manifesto: To each according to their need, from each according to their ability.
GhostOnTheHalfShell
in reply to GhostOnTheHalfShell • • •@benfell @normjess
It is extremely interesting stuff because it makes it brutally and very simply clear what is necessary to create and defend an equal society.
Socially it hinges on a moral system. And if you notice the moral system of capitalism is mercenary, it’s psychopathic. Every man seeks mastery in the world of slaves.
