Why do people think the world is "feminised", even though women are still significantly underrepresented in politics, leadership and media representation?

Because people don't notice the absence of women, but they notice the presence of any women, no matter how few.

"When underrepresentation is the everyday default, even the presence of a lone minority can start to feel like ‘plenty,’ while a small handful may already seem like ‘too many.’ Our stereotype-saturated minds can pull a strange trick: we overestimate — sometimes wildly — how many women and minority-group members are actually present in a given environment.

In another relatively recent study published in BMJ Open, more than 400 medical professionals in the UK were asked to estimate the proportion of women across different areas of medicine — general practice, medical specialities, surgical specialities — and in various professional roles. Yet despite working in the field themselves and presumably having a better grasp of its demographics than the general public, participants consistently overestimated the number of women in nearly every category.3 The largest distortion occurred in surgery, where respondents estimated that women made up around 25% of surgery consultants/GPs, when the real figure was only 14%. And, as in the PNAS study, both female and male participants showed comparable levels of overestimation.

President Donald Trump got a lesson in the law of unintended consequences when pranksters used the tarp that's hiding the removal of his name from the Kennedy Center to frame vintage video clips of him gallivanting with Jeffrey Epstein.

"Yesterday night a protester projected what we all wanted on the tarp of the Kennedy Center," X user @sarrah_bellus wrote Sunday morning on X, along with a recording of the video as it was projected onto the center's doors.

The world's first trillionaire received 38 Billion Dollars from the US government. But, no, we won't have enough money to pay for school lunches for your kids. Or give you healthcare.

1. The court holds Google responsible for statements made by its AI, considering them Google's statements (search engines have limited liability for results in their engine as they're the words of other sites/companies/people), meaning when their AI lies/hallucinates they're liable for the defamation/harm resulting from those statements.

2. Google's defense that customers are generally aware of the lack of reliability and are responsible for fact checking was dismissed. As the court pointed out, that would "significantly diminish" AI Search's stated purpose and it can't be distinguished from Google's business practices/statements as a search tool.

3. Studies have found about 91% of Google's everyday AI responses are accurate, leaving millions of searches per HOUR with potential liability for falsehoods. 56% of correct responses weren't supported by the sources the AI listed. Both of which mean Google is now liable for a LOT more AI "errors."

4. Google was held liable for 80% of court costs in this case and this precedent is expected to reverberate around the world. This is a massive shift from the 3rd-party search provider role Google has previously played and it comes right as they've tied ALL searches to their AI search.

Epstein file says Trump “knew and funded underage sex parties” at his golf course

An FBI tip memorialized in the Epstein files alleges Trump knew about underage sex parties at a Trump golf course.

An FBI document from the U.S. Department of Justice Jeffrey Epstein files contains extraordinary allegations involving President Donald Trump, Jeffrey Epstein, and a Trump-owned golf course — claims that appear to have originated from a single tipster who contacted federal authorities in 2021.

The FBI intake report does not identify the golf course referenced by the caller. However, the allegation appears in files connected to Epstein, whose sprawling Palm Beach mansion served as the center of many of the activities that ultimately led to his conviction and the federal sex-trafficking investigation that followed.

Trump says 'I love the inflation' after consumer price index hits 3-year high

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — A lawyer who represented Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton for nearly a decade over accusations of corruption and securities fraud is supporting Democrat James Talarico — and not his former client — in one of the biggest U.S. Senate races.

Talarico on Monday drew attention to his campaign winning the endorsement of Houston attorney Dan Cogdell, who was part of Paxton’s defense team during the Republican’s historic impeachment trial in 2023 that ended in acquittal.

The legal troubles that shadowed Paxton in public office in Texas are a central attack line of Talarico’s campaign, though in his endorsement, Cogdell didn’t cite concerns about his client’s past.

Cogdell said he didn’t dislike Paxton as a person and felt that Texas lawmakers were right to eventually acquit the attorney general. But as a politician, Cogdell said, Paxton is too focused on appeasing President Donald Trump.
