She is the 2026 Winter Olympic champion in both women's singles and in the team event, the 2025 World champion, the 2022 World bronze medalist, the 2025–26 Grand Prix Final champion, a two-time Grand Prix medalist, a four-time Challenger Series champion, and a two-time U. S. national champion.At the junior level, Liu was the 2020 World Junior bronze medalist, the 2019–20 Junior Grand Prix Final silver medalist, a two-time Junior Grand Prix champion, and the 2018 U. S. junior national champion. In 2019, Liu, then 13, became the youngest-ever U. S. women's national champion. The following year, she became the youngest skater to win two senior national titles, the first woman to win consecutive U. S. titles since Ashley Wagner in 2012 and 2013 and the first woman to win the junior and senior titles back-to-back since Mirai Nagasu in 2008.At the 2025 World Championships, she became the first U. S. woman to win a world title since Kimmie Meissner in 2006. At the 2026 Winter Olympics, she became the first American woman to win an individual medal since Sasha Cohen in 2006 and the first American gold medalist since Sarah Hughes in 2002.An accomplished jumper, Liu was the first woman to complete a quadruple jump and a triple Axel in the same program, and the first to land a triple Axel-triple toe loop combination in the short program. She was the first American woman to land a quadruple jump and the first American junior woman to complete a triple Axel in international competition. In 2019, Liu was named to the inaugural Time 100 Next under the "Phenoms" section.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 04:08 UTC on Sunday, 22 February 2026.For the full current version of the article, see Alysa Liu on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Bluesky at @wikioftheday.com.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm standard Kendra.
Inez Stepman of the independent Women's Forum is in for Jim today. Join Inez and Greg for the Friday 3 Martini Lunch as they as they break down the media's contrasting coverage of American Alysa Liu and American-born Olympian Eileen Gu competing under the Chinese flag, react to the Supreme Court's ruling on President Donald Trump's tariffs, and highlight how price controls for groceries is now mainstream policy for Democrats.First, they share the powerful backstory of Alysa Liu, whose father fled Communist China after the Tiananmen Square crackdown and later resisted Chinese Communist Party efforts to monitor the family and pressure them to return. Inez says it also highlights what should be a key factor in deciding who should be allowed to enter this country.Next, they assess the Supreme Court's decision limiting President Donald Trump's ability to impose tariffs under emergency powers. Inez points out that the overarching ruling leaves the power to tax with the legislative branch but that the raft of concurring opinions shows the court is deeply divided beyond that. Finally, they shake their heads as mainstream Democrats are now following Zohran Mamdani's lead and calling for price controls on groceries. There's no chance this ends well, but Inez reminds us that this was the Democrats' approach for decades before briefly moving away from it.Please visit our great sponsors:Help protect your family with life insurance through Ethos.

President Trump ordered government agencies to release information about extraterrestrial life and related phenomena on Thursday. The move followed former President Barack Obama's comments on alien life in a podcast interview earlier this week. In 2023, the White House acknowledged that there had been unexplained aerial phenomena reported by pilots and the Navy and Air Force.Andrew Mountbatten-Window was released from police custody on Thursday evening, after being arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office, over allegations he sent confidential government documents to Jeffrey Epstein. The former prince had been questioned all day by detectives from the Thames Valley Police. King Charles III, who appeared at a fashion show in London just hours after his brother's arrest, said in a statement that "the law must take its course."Alysa Liu has won gold in women's figure skating. She becomes the first American woman to claim the Olympic title in the event since 2002. The 20-year-old from the San Francisco Bay Area scored a career-high 226.79 points to finish ahead of Japan's Kaori Sakamoto and Ami Nakai. Liu briefly retired after the 2022 Beijing Games, citing burnout. Liu called her return to the Olympic stage a personal victory, saying she wanted simply to be present and compete.
Alysa Liu retired from figure skating four years ago, aged 16, saying she'd lost herself in competition. Fast-forward to the 2026 Olympic Winter Games and she's back with a gold medal around her neck but perhaps more importantly, she did it her way. Team USA had high expectations for their figure skating team in Milan and not everyone could live up to them, so how might the joy of Liu's gold change the way the sport deals with its athletes?Featured: Caroline Price, journalist, Forbes.

Writer and editor Yi-Ling Liu joins co-hosts Whitney Terrell and Jennifer Maritza McCauley to talk about state-controlled censorship. Liu, the author of a new book, The Wall Dancers: Searching for Freedom and Connection on the Chinese Internet, explores what it means to build community through the internet while contending with surveillance and suppression. Liu, Terrell, and McCauley discuss the sale of TikTok to U.S. companies, the growing online surveillance and censorship in the United States, and how American citizens can learn from Chinese “netizens” about how to survive under censorship. Liu tells the stories of four people– a renowned feminist, a gay dating app entrepreneur, an aspiring rapper, and a famous science fiction writer—who all found ways to dance around The Great Firewall and earn success for themselves and for their communities online. Liu details the widespread impact of each of these “wall dancers” and reflects on the inspirations that led them to foster social change through online media. Liu explores the importance of cultural exchange and connection online and considers her own personal experience with living and creating under censorship. Liu reads from The Wall Dancers.To hear the full episode, subscribe through iTunes, Google Play, Stitcher, Spotify, or your favorite podcast app (include the forward slashes when searching).

Intermittent fasting is the most Googled diet-related term on the planet, except everyone who does it will tell you it's not a diet. It's a protocol. An eating window. A lifestyle. An optimization hack. Definitely, absolutely, under no circumstances a diet. You just don't eat for sixteen hours. Totally different.In this episode, we trace IF from ancient religious fasting traditions through its secularization and commodification, afrom Martin Berkhan's Leangains forum and its tagline ("fuck breakfast") to Michael Mosley's BBC documentary, Hugh Jackman's Wolverine physique, and Jack Dorsey describing his weekend-long fasts as "hallucinating" like that's a selling point. We walk through how a Nobel Prize in yeast biology became a justification for skipping breakfast, why Jason Fung's The Obesity Code scored 31% on scientific accuracy and still became the IF bible, and how the fasting app market turned one simple rule into a multimillion-dollar industry.Then we get into what the science actually says. We break down the claimed mechanisms — metabolic switching, autophagy, insulin sensitivity — and look honestly at where the evidence lands. Spoiler: the mechanisms are real, but the confidence far outpaces the human data. The first direct measurement of autophagy in humans was published in 2025. Mouse metabolism runs seven times faster than ours. And the landmark Liu et al. trial in the New England Journal of Medicine found that time-restricted eating is no better than regular caloric restriction for weight loss. You're not metabolic switching. You're just eating less.We also dig into what IF means for active people (no performance benefit across any exercise type, real risk of under-fueling and RED-S, and a protein distribution problem that no eight-hour window can solve), what the AHA, ADA, NIA, and ISSN actually say about it, and the robust research linking IF to eating disorder behaviors across all genders — including a landmark study showing that fasting was a stronger predictor of binge eating disorder than any other form of dietary restraint. Fasting is listed in the DSM-5 as a compensatory behavior. Just because you give it a different vocabulary doesn't mean your body experiences it differently.Your body is smarter than any fasting app. Also, breakfast slaps..This Episode's Sponsors:rabbit — Code YDSFEB for 10% offOsmia — Code YDS20 for 20% offTailwind — Code YOURDIET20 for 20% offMicrocosm Coaching — Book a free consultationFull references, episode archive, and our advertising ethics policy at yourdietsuckspodcast.comHosted by: Zoë Rom & Kylee Van Horn, RDN
Alysa Liu first reached the Olympics at 16 years old before stepping away from the sport to rediscover joy, balance, and purpose on her own terms. After returning to competition in 2024, Liu delivered one of the strongest performances of her career at the World Championships, skating with a renewed sense of freedom and creativity as Milan-Cortina 2026 came into view. In this conversation with NBC News correspondent Stephanie Gosk, Liu reflects on why she finds skating fun again and how her mindset has evolved since Beijing.

How can a helicopter fly in space? How does LIGO detect gravitational waves? How do quantum electronic devices like Josephson junctions work? Could AI turn evil and destroy humanity? What about those grabby aliens? In this episode of Chuck GPT, Dr. Charles Liu and co-host Allen Liu answer audience questions about the technology of astronomy, astrophysics, and the future. To read those questions, we welcome back our executive producer Leslie Mullen, community director Stacey Severn, and intern Eleanor Adams. As always, though, we start off with the day's joyfully cool cosmic thing: the ESA's new Deep Space Antenna in Australia. This fourth antenna in ESA's network will be used to manage communications for their slate of upcoming missions. For our first audience question, Anna asks, “How is it possible that a helicopter can work in space? I heard that NASA launched a helicopter to Mars and is going to send one to Saturn in a few years.” Leslie, who worked at JPL, talks about the Perseverance Rover and its helicopter, Ingenuity. She explains that they're not actually flying in space, but in the atmospheres of a planet or a moon. Even so, the thin atmosphere of Mars (less than 1% of Earth's) created unique problems that don't exist on Earth. Leslie got to interview the inventor of Ingenuity, Bob Balaram, in her JPL podcast episode, “Flying with Ingenuity.” She describes how JPL tested the helicopter here on Earth, and what it was like the moment Ingenuity actually took flight. The team discusses Dragonfly, the helicopter that will be flying on Saturn's moon Titan, and how Titan's thick methane atmosphere creates an entirely different set of engineering problems than Ingenuity faced on Mars. Stacey reads our next question, from Joe: “Gravitational wave detectors like LIGO are said to detect changes in the length of space by less than the width of a proton. But how is that possible, if all the atoms that make up LIGO are so much bigger than protons?” Chuck explains interferometry (the I in LIGO!) and Allen offers a great analogy using a ruler. Eleanor reads a question from TikTok, which Esmeregildo asked in response to our video about Josephson Junctions and the Nobel Prize in Physics: “What is the purpose of the insulating barrier?” Chuck's answer takes us down a quantum tunneling rabbit hole, filled with superconductors, insulators, and quantum computing. Diane asks: “Professor, you say that astronomers have used AI for a long time so you're not afraid of AI. But AI isn't being used by just scientists anymore, and corporations are using AI to make money now rather than to make scientific advances. So should we be afraid of AI today? Could AI turn evil soon and destroy humanity?” Allen, co-author of a soon-to-be published book about AI, offers a mostly hopeful answer, although Chuck compares AI to nuclear power and Leslie brings up real world problems AI is already creating. Our last question from our audience is, “Hi Dr. Liu, I heard you talking about grabby aliens recently. Could you explain the concept a little more? For example, would humans be grabby aliens if we explore space and colonize Mars and we find there's life there? Would we have to destroy grabby aliens right away if we find them, or would we have to hide from them?” It's the perfect way to end this edition of Chuck GPT!

Shanghai aims to become one of the world's top three cities by economic scale within this decade, driven by an ambitious annual GDP growth target that was outlined in the draft of the city's 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-30).根据上海市"十五五"规划纲要(2026-2030年)草案提出的宏伟年度经济增长目标,上海计划在本十年内,在经济规模上跻身全球前三甲城市之列。Already one of China's most dynamic economic hubs and the first city to surpass the GDP mark of 5 trillion yuan ($720 billion), Shanghai is targeting an average annual GDP growth rate of around 5 percent over the next five years. The goal is expected to significantly enhance the city's overall economic strength, global competitiveness and residents' livelihoods.作为中国最具活力的经济中心之一,也是首个地区生产总值突破5万亿元(7200亿美元)大关的城市,上海为未来五年设定了年均GDP增长约5%的目标。预计这一目标将显著增强城市的整体经济实力、全球竞争力及居民生活水平。The draft outline was unveiled at the annual session of the Shanghai Municipal People's Congress, the city's legislative body, which opened on Tuesday.该规划草案已于1月23日开幕的上海市第十六届人民代表大会第二次会议上提交审议。According to the plan, this targeted growth pace is expected to lift Shanghai's economic aggregate beyond 7 trillion yuan by 2030. At that scale, the city would rank among the world's top three by economic size, trailing only New York and Los Angeles.根据规划,这一目标增速预计将使上海的经济总量在2030年突破7万亿元。以此规模,上海将跃居全球经济规模前三,仅次于纽约和洛杉矶。After reaching the 5 trillion yuan milestone in 2024, Shanghai's GDP climbed further to 5.67 trillion yuan in 2025, placing the city among the world's top five urban economies. Meanwhile, per capita GDP rose to $32,000 in 2025, comparable to the level of a moderately developed economy.在2024年达到5万亿元里程碑后,上海GDP在2025年进一步攀升至5.67万亿元,使该市跻身全球城市经济总量前五。与此同时,2025年人均GDP上升至3.2万美元,相当于中等发达经济体水平。The draft makes it clear that the next phase of growth will focus on improving workforce skills and, more importantly, strengthening industrial development through scientific and technological innovation.草案明确指出,下一阶段的增长将聚焦于提升劳动力技能,更重要的是通过科技创新强化产业发展。"Shanghai will accelerate the intelligent transformation of key industries, establish more than 50 additional smart factories, and foster new artificial intelligence-native business formats," Mayor Gong Zheng said while delivering the Shanghai municipal government work report during the session.上海市市长龚正在作政府工作报告时表示:"上海将加快重点产业智能化改造,新增50家以上先进智能工厂,积极培育智能原生新模式新业态。"Gong added that the city will also upgrade specialized industrial parks for sectors such as integrated circuits and large aircraft manufacturing, and will vigorously develop future industries including brain-computer interfaces and fourth-generation semiconductors.龚正补充道,上海还将升级集成电路、大飞机制造等领域的专业产业园区,并大力发展脑机接口、第四代半导体等未来产业。The shift toward future industries is already reflected in key indicators, experts said. In the past five years, the number of high-value invention patents per 10,000 residents in Shanghai rose from 29.6 to 65. The target for 2030 is about 85.专家表示,向未来产业的转变已反映在关键指标上。过去五年,上海每万人口高价值发明专利拥有量从29.6件增至65件。2030年的目标约为85件。Shanghai also plans to raise spending on research and development from about 4.5 percent of GDP in 2025 to more than 5 percent by 2030. In addition, the draft sets a goal for the value-added output of core digital economy industries to account for more than 20 percent of GDP by 2030.上海还计划将研发投入占GDP比重从2025年的约4.5%提升至2030年的5%以上。此外,草案设定的目标是,到2030年,核心数字经济产业增加值占GDP比重超过20%。The draft outline will be reviewed and discussed by lawmakers and political advisers during the annual meetings, which run through Saturday, and is expected to chart the course for the city's next phase of development.在持续至本周六的年度会议期间,人大代表和政协委员将审议和讨论该规划纲要草案,预计它将为上海下一阶段的发展规划路线。Many lawmakers and advisers said that Shanghai's economic structure is continuing to improve, with its three leading industries — AI, integrated circuits and biomedicine — posting rapid growth.许多人大代表和政协委员表示,上海的经济结构正在持续优化,其三大先导产业——人工智能、集成电路和生物医药——均呈现快速增长。Legislator Liu Zhi, vice-president of ShanghaiTech University, said the Shanghai high-repetition-rate XFEL (X-ray free-electron laser) and extreme light facility, known as SHINE, which has been built by the university, has entered the installation phase and is scheduled to begin testing this year.上海市人大代表、上海科技大学副校长刘志表示,由该校建设的上海硬X射线自由电子激光装置(简称SHINE)已进入安装阶段,计划于今年开始测试。"There are only two such facilities globally, the other being under construction in the United States," Liu said. "The facility will provide strategic support for tackling fundamental scientific challenges in frontier fields such as energy, biology, biomedicine and chip manufacturing. Strength in basic research means gaining greater initiative in setting standards and shaping future industrial development.""全球仅有两处此类设施,另一处正在美国建造,"刘志说,"该设施将为攻克能源、生物学、生物医药和芯片制造等前沿领域的基础科学难题提供战略支撑。基础研究的实力意味着在制定标准和塑造未来产业发展方面获得更大主动权。"Looking ahead to 2035, the draft envisions a comprehensive upgrade of Shanghai's role as an international center for economic, financial, trade, shipping, and scientific and technological innovation, with key indicators reaching globally leading levels.展望2035年,草案描绘了上海国际经济、金融、贸易、航运和科技创新中心功能的全面升级,关键指标达到全球领先水平。"Shanghai's overall capacity and core competitiveness are expected to rise significantly by 2035, with per capita GDP doubling from 2020 levels, establishing Shanghai as a world-influential socialist modern international metropolis," Gong said.龚正表示:"到2035年,上海的整体实力和核心竞争力预计将显著提升,人均GDP较2020年水平翻一番,将上海建设成为具有世界影响力的社会主义现代化国际大都市。"economic hub /ˌiːkəˈnɒmɪk hʌb/经济枢纽/中心legislative body /ˈledʒɪslətɪv ˈbɒdi/立法机关economic aggregate /ˌiːkəˈnɒmɪk ˈæɡrɪɡət/经济总量future industries /ˈfjuːtʃər ˈɪndəstriz/未来产业brain-computer interfaces /breɪn kəmˈpjuːtər ˈɪntəfeɪsɪz/脑机接口high-value invention patents /haɪ ˈvæljuː ɪnˈvenʃən ˈpeɪtənts/高价值发明专利value-added output /ˈvæljuː ˈædɪd ˈaʊtpʊt/增加值产出socialist modern international metropolis /ˈsəʊʃəlɪst ˈmɒdən ˌɪntəˈnæʃənəl məˈtrɒpəlɪs/社会主义现代化国际大都市

The Campaign for Access, Representation, and Equity for Immigrant Families (CARE4IF) Coalition, rallied at the State Capitol on Tuesday, February 3, to demand $175 million in funding for immigration legal services and the passage of the Access to Representation Act (ARA) and the Building Up Immigrant Legal Defense (BUILD) Act for the 2026 New York State Legislative Session. We hear first from Jahrain Roldan of the NY Immigration Coalition, followed by Senator Liu, Assemblymember Yudelka Tapia, Senator Rachel May, Assemblymember Phara Souffrant-Forrest and Senator Robert Jackson. With Mark Dunlea for Hudson Mohawk Magazine.
Construction worker Liu, seated inside train K4069, felt a rush of excitement as the platform clock at Beijing West Railway Station struck 12:40 am and the whistle blew on cue. He was on board the first passenger train to depart from the Chinese capital as part of the Spring Festival travel rush, or chunyun, which started on Monday.今天(2月2日)凌晨0点40分,北京西站站台上的时钟指针定格,汽笛准时鸣响。坐在K4069次列车上的建筑工人刘师傅,心潮随之澎湃。他乘坐的这趟列车,是今年春运首日从首都北京开出的首班旅客列车。2026年春运自本周一正式启动。"I've been busy all year, and now I can finally visit home," Liu said."Knowing that this is the first train to depart from Beijing during chunyun makes my journey more thrilling.""忙了一整年,终于能回家看看了,"刘师傅说,"知道这是北京春运发出的第一趟车,感觉这趟旅程更激动了。"The packed K4069, a temporary train service added for the holiday season to link Beijing with Nanchang, the capital of Jiangxi province, mirrored the sheer scale of passenger movement by rail, road, air and sea on the first day of the 40-day travel rush, which will continue till March 13.这趟临时加开、连接北京与江西省会南昌的K4069次列车满载旅客。它的开行,如同一个缩影,映照出为期40天的春运在首日便已展现的庞大客流规模——春运将持续至3月13日,人们的出行通过铁路、公路、航空和水路全面展开。According to data collected by the Ministry of Transport, China recorded an estimated 188 million cross-regional trips on Monday, up 13 percent year-on-year. While the railways handled about 12 million trips, civil aviation authorities recorded roughly 2.19 million. The traffic was heavier on highways, as many Chinese people prefer to drive home or to holiday destinations to mark Chinese New Year, which falls on Feb 17 this year.交通运输部数据显示,春运首日全国跨区域人员流动量预计达1.88亿人次,比去年同期增长13%。其中铁路客运量约1200万人次,民航客运量约219万人次。公路交通更为繁忙,因为今年春节在2月17日,许多人选择自驾返乡或出游。The Spring Festival travel rush in China is the world's largest recurring movement of people. This year, the overall scale and the daily peaks are both expected to surpass previous records. Official estimates suggest that chunyun will generate a record 9.5 billion cross-regional trips, with rail journeys expected to total about 540 million and air travel about 95 million. As the public holiday period runs from Feb 15 to 23, the concentration of trips is likely to be higher during these days.中国的春运是全球规模最大的周期性人口迁徙。今年春运的整体规模和单日高峰均有望创下历史新高。官方预计,今年春运期间跨区域人员流动量将达创纪录的95亿人次,其中铁路客运量预计约5.4亿人次,民航客运量约9500万人次。由于春节假期从2月15日持续至23日,这段时间的出行将尤为集中。On Monday, the huge departure hall at Beijing West station saw a steady flow of passengers. Some paused for photo-ops near a Chinese zodiac installation to mark the upcoming Year of the Horse, while others toured an exhibition tracing the station's 30-year transformation.春运首日,北京西站庞大的候车大厅内旅客川流不息。有人驻足在生肖主题装饰旁拍照留念,迎接即将到来的马年;还有人参观记录车站30年变迁的展览。According to China Railway Beijing Group, the station is estimated to have handled about 145,000 passenger trips on the first day of chunyun, and it is expected to record more than 5.15 million trips over the entire 40-day period.据中国铁路北京局集团有限公司介绍,北京西站春运首日预计发送旅客14.5万人次,整个春运期间预计发送旅客将超过515万人次。The station has introduced a new air-rail intermodal service, allowing passengers to check in for selected China Eastern Airlines flights on the premises before transferring by train to Beijing Daxing International Airport.北京西站新推出了空铁联运服务,旅客可在站内办理选定的中国东方航空公司航班的登机手续,随后搭乘列车前往北京大兴国际机场换乘。At Daxing airport, lanterns and cultural displays lined corridors, while pop-up new year markets and themed boarding gates accentuated the holiday mood. Chinese airlines have scaled up capacities to match the travel rush demand. Air China said it plans to operate more than 70,000 passenger flights during chunyun, up more than 10 percent year-on-year, with a daily average of around 1,800 flights.在大兴机场,灯笼和文化展示装点着走廊,临时开设的新年集市和主题登机口烘托出浓浓的节日氛围。为应对春运需求,国内各航空公司加大了运力投放。中国国际航空公司表示,春运期间计划执行客运航班超7万班次,日均约1800班次,同比增长超10%。At some transportation hubs in eastern China, the first day of chunyun recorded high cultural vibes. Nanchang East Railway Station, for example, saw performers stage lively kuaiban — rapidly spoken verses punctuated by wooden clappers — alongside excerpts from Jiangxi's tea-picking opera. "I didn't expect waiting for a train to feel like this. It feels so warm and welcoming," said traveler Wang Yueyi.在华东地区的一些交通枢纽,春运首日文化气息浓厚。例如,南昌东站安排了表演者表演生动的快板(一种用竹板打节拍的曲艺说唱),和江西采茶戏选段。"没想到等车还能这样,感觉特别温暖、特别有氛围,"旅客王月怡(音译)说。Spring Festival travel rush /sprɪŋ ˈfestɪvəl ˈtrævəl rʌʃ/ 春运recurring movement of people /rɪˈkɜːrɪŋ ˈmuːvmənt əv ˈpiːpl/ 周期性人口流动photo-ops /ˈfoʊtoʊ ɑːps/ 拍照机会Chinese zodiac installation /ˌtʃaɪˈniːz ˈzoʊdiæk ˌɪnstəˈleɪʃn/ 生肖主题装饰air-rail intermodal service /er reɪl ˌɪntərˈmoʊdl ˈsɜːrvɪs/ 空铁联运服务pop-up /ˈpɑːp ʌp/ 临时开设的scaled up capacities /skeɪld ʌp kəˈpæsətiz/ 提升运力

We return for Part 2 of our Scott Galloway deep dive, where the vibes remain strong, the confidence unwavering, and the relationship with empirical evidence increasingly… decorative.Returning to our Modern Wisdom safari, we continue navigating the forbidden terrain of men, masculinity, and male suffering: a topic so dangerous that it requires constant ritual disclaimers, whispered caveats, and the occasional nervous glance around the bar to make sure we can take out the other men if necessary.We cover Scott's outline of his masculine Third Way: rejecting both the Right's “Bring Back the Fifties” masculinity and the Left's “Men Are the Problem” framework, in favour of a solution that might be described as Stern Dad Who's Also Nice About It. Prepare to thrill at proposals of mandatory national service, kindness as a masculine superpower, and the radical idea that young people might benefit from not being economically crushed.Things get spicier when we're told what women really want and learn about the adaptive skill check of the female orgasm. Chris Williamson unveils a prepared essay on What Men Want which proves to be a moving piece of therapeutic slam poetry that somehow manages to combine manosphere grievance mongering with woke therapy talk. We learn how what men really just want to be told is “you are enough" and should be kind for kindness sake, but also should optimise their friend group such that they can properly signal their high mate quality and train hard enough to take out all other males in the bar.Finally, we hit peak Decoding Mode as Scott's statistics begin to escalate: boys are ten times more likely to kill themselves, father absence turns sons into inmates, daughters into promiscuous approval-seekers, and nearly every claim is delivered with total confidence and minimal concern for effect sizes, confounds, or whether the study actually exists. Decorative scholarship is in full bloom.We do our best as two hyper-masculine men to separate reasonable concerns about boys, mentorship, and social policy from hyperbolic factoids, pop-psych inflation, and the familiar habit of smuggling moral arguments in under the banner of “what the science says.”Bring your hunting knife and stoic daily diary. Take your testosterone injection.
