Well, WIRED posting one of the only articles on why psychopathy is bs and personality disorders can't predict criminality was not on my 2023 Bingo Card.
But here we are. As someone who doesn't engage in criminal activity, but has ASPD, much appreciation to WIRED and the specific author of this article (I believe that would be Eleanor Cummins). This is a really great article; it doesn't pretend it knows more than it does, but it methodically goes after the term psychopathy and all the issues with the term, the purpose of it's invention, and the researchers who both use it and try to study it.
It's by no means an article just about ASPD, but we do pop up in here and they even make both meaningful mention and a link to source in-sentence about the way ASPD research ignores the history of trauma associated with it.

🙋🏽‍♀️ What are greenhushing and think washing?
✳️ Greenhushing is a term used to describe the deliberate act of downplaying or concealing one's environmentally-friendly actions. Instead of boasting about their legitimate environmental achievements, these companies remain quiet. The reasons can vary from the fear of being accused of bragging to avoiding the spotlight in an area where they might still have some inconsistencies. Green Hushing not only stifles the potential positive influence of environmentally responsible companies on their competitors but also shields companies with inadequate sustainability practices from facing accountability.
🧐Think washing is the result of a blend of deliberate ignorance regarding established knowledge, an obsession with perfecting policies, and an extreme stance on the role of technology in society. The pursuit of intricate perfection can impede progress.
“When it comes to issues like climate change, too many let the perfect become the enemy of the good, while the world burns.” - Eleanor cummins.

According to wiki, Milo's VA is listed in the cast, and we're also getting archival recording of Brian Murray as Silver, and Martin Short as B.E.N. Oh, and I found Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Jim!!!!
We're also getting a return of the Backson from Winnie the Pooh 2011, apparently.
Aladar from Dinosaur is there!!!!
Unfortunately, yes, Gurgi is also there.
I'll be honest though, scrolling through the cast list and seeing "archival recording" next to so many VAs is actually sort of... touching? Bc so many of them is trying to rely on their original voice actors. Jim Cummins can do Winnie-the-Pooh no problem, but instead they're using Sterling Holloway. They have Eleanor Audley as both Maleficent and Lady Tremaine. And yes, of course, there's Robin Williams, as they're apparently going to use previously unheard-of dialogue for the Genie's lines.
This is gonna be one heck of a ride.

I swear to crescent, if they give me freaking Chicken Little and that annoying little Gurgi but not Jim Hawkins or Milo Thatch, I’m gonna scream in the theater.
“Every main character from every film” is promising… and far too ambitious for them to actually achieve.

The king behind Machu Picchu built his legacy in stone
Popular Science’s brand-new series, The Home builders, takes you behind the building and construction tape to expose the people accountable for history’s biggest architectural works.
Glimpse at an Incan brick, and you’ll observe there’s extremely little that’s traditionally bricklike about it. There are no ideal angles, no appropriate corners. And it’s not a rectangular shape at all, however a trapezoid: one side broader and squatter than the other. Take a look at another. Then another. Then another. No 2 are precisely the very same, each a polygonal variation of the special rock it began as.
Thoroughly stacked together like a 15th-century video game of Tetris, these relatively haphazard blocks have actually stood up to 500 years of catastrophes, both natural and human. The signature design of the pre-Columbian empire, these stones marked the Inca growth some 2,500 miles down the foundation of South America. The sprawl took simply a couple of years, moved by the strength of a guy called Pachacuti, the ninth Sapa Inca (the native Quechua term for “king”). His most outstanding structure task was Machu Picchu, a 200-structure, mountain-hugging summertime resort for the ruler and his extended household. However this marvel of the world is simply one location where Pachacuti thoroughly tape-recorded his legacy—and constructing principles that continue to assist us produce more-resilient cities—stone by stone.
Born in 1438 as Cusi Yupanqui, Pachacuti didn’t strategy his increase to power. When the Chankas, an opponent ethnic group got into, his daddy, then king, and his bro, the future ruler, pulled back. Cusi Yupanqui needed to safeguard the Inca’s fertile Peruvian valley alone. The puma-shaped crown city of Cusco inhabited a spiritual area in in between 2 forking rivers, and the Chankas wished to call the distinguished location their own.
As the Chankas made their method towards the gold-plated Temple of the Sun, part fortress and part temple, Cusi Yupanqui led his males into a fight so relentless that the stones underneath the warriors’ feet rose to eliminate along with them—or so the story goes. In the consequences, the triumphant Inca rechristened their leader Pachacuti, or “Earth Shaker.” After his bro’s ultimate murder and his daddy’s death, Pachacuti rose the throne as the sole king of Cusco.
Unhappy with this one little valley, he commenced dominating swaths of the Andes, knitting together lands in the huge quilt of the broadening Inca Empire, which at its zenith extended from Quito, Ecuador, in the north, down a long seaside strip to Talca, Chile in the south. The Inca laid roadways and raised cities amongst varied natural environments, from the Atacama—the only desert drier than the poles—to the rain forests of Cusco to the flood zones of Machu Picchu. Whatever they built, they built to last, with the help of Pachacuti’s soldiers, engineers, and stones.
In colonizing the land outside Cusco, Pachacuti utilized architecture to “mark their presence on the landscape,” states Stella Nair, an art historian at the University of California at, Los Angeles, and a professional in native art and architecture in the Americas. Missing a written language, he utilized building and construction to put his stamp on every dominated town, advising possible opponents of his power. “The [Inca] are an actually little population, and within 100 years, they dominate the western rim of South America,” Nair states. “You have to convey the idea that you’re there.”
The trademark of their stonework is the trapezoid, a kind that provides the structures remarkable strength. Without contemporary earthmovers to dig structures into bedrock or sophisticated metallurgy to imbue strength, the Incas sensibly concentrated on forming their structures to their environment, rather of taking threats on the presumption their products would hold up versus earthquakes and other catastrophes. Each aspect, from a specific block to a whole structure, is larger at the bottom than the top, which forms stronger structures. A lot of structures were single-story: The squatter the structure, the most likely it was to hold up. It’s likewise why most contractors avoided mortar: The paste holds bricks together, however in a seismic occasion, a little glue is worthless. These smart techniques avoided earthquake damage, a pushing issue on the Pacific’s tectonic Ring of Fire.
Inca structures were remarkably simple to put together. With polygonal stones, there’s no factor to pursue separately ideal cubes. “When you’re working a stone, your most fragile part is your corners,” Nair states. “If you’re attempting to make a rectangle-shaped block [and you break a corner], you simply destroyed your block.” Rather, a head wall-maker would direct a group of masons in matching the slopes of each brand-new stone to the one that preceded it.
The Inca method of sculpting stone blurs the border in between the natural and the manufactured. “When they carve a stone, they’ll leave enough of the cortex to give some sense of its original shape,” Nair states. Specialists associate this both to the culture’s respect for the landscape, and their desire to misshape time and history to make it appear the Inca had actually ruled for longer than they had. Today, lots of native individuals continue to construct in the design of their forefathers. It’s at when an homage to this fantastic legacy and out of need: Lots of descendants—modern-day Peruvians—live in hardship and make their houses of regional stone and homemade adobe (the Spanish word for “mudbrick”).
RELATED: By damaging this female pharaoh’s legacy, her follower protected it permanently
Home Builders in the area continue to top their stout structures with thoroughly woven reed roofing systems, though they’re significantly thinner than their forefathers. Thatching eclipsed two-thirds of each structure, according to Nair. Some roofing systems were gabled, with opposing slopes, while others were hipped, in which all sides slope downward. Each resembled a three-dimensional fabric, protected to the structure with smart knotting (the Inca did not have nails).
Styles likewise followed an extensive philosophical or spiritual concept. Home builders picked websites based upon their orientation to the natural world. “The Incas paid a lot of attention to where you can see sacred features from different spots,” Nair states. Mountain peaks, hurrying springs, and spiritually substantial rivers were not simply exceptional views, however aspects that specified the shape of whole complexes, even whole cities.
Pachacuti picked the place for Machu Picchu, a vast summertime resort for his household and entourage, with fantastic objective. It increases out of the Sacred Valley, where Inca culture came from, and neglects the Urubamba River, which watered farming lands all the method to Cusco. However going with this unique place brought his contractors brand-new obstacles. In addition to routine seismic activity, a consistent circulation of meltwater marks the Andes mountains; it puts downhill from its glacial origins, prompting landslides along the method. Machu Picchu’s damp season lasts approximately half the year, releasing two times the yearly typical rains of the continental United States. “It’s just horrible if you want to think about stable landscapes to build on,” Nair states. However the hallowed nature of the website, integrated with the temperate relief it offered in summertime, was most likely enough to encourage Pachacuti to invest in such a treacherous task.
To cope, the Inca carefully surveyed the possible structure websites, and established techniques for stabilization. Machu Picchu’s structural stability originates from a series of 700 balconies, which still fulfill modern geotechnical requirements for keeping walls. Like a set of stacked flowerpot, they confined water as it came hurrying down the hills. The tough barriers avoided soil disintegration, trapping dirt inside. The structures likewise offered flat arable land for growing crops, such as corn, squash, and beans—all important for feeding the king’s 1,200-individual entourage. Water still discovered its method into the heart of the complex, so engineers built 130 drain holes into the walls of the royal city.
However avoiding floods was just one of the designer’s objectives. Houses cluster around drinking wells. At the top of the mountain, near a hurrying spring, engineers dug a canal that kept freshwater, which then dripped down through the Staircase of Water fountains. Pachacuti’s palace was at the upper well and for that reason got the best water, civil engineer Ken Wright informed Nova. The local tap streamed below there, constantly different from the drain system. The system might deal with 25 gallons of water each minute to accommodate the spring’s peak circulation—something Wright approximates the Inca most likely computed as part of a yearlong research study and advancement stage prior to they started building and construction.
It’s that kind of cautious preparation and strenuous method that enabled Pachacuti and his individuals to prosper, anywhere his empire broadened. That’s why designers, engineers, and lovers still revere Inca styles to this day. We see their impact in the words we utilize: In 2010, meteorologists in alpine Europe called a technique for determining rains in mountainous locations the Integrated Nowcasting through Comprehensive Analysis, or INCA.
It’s likewise significantly in the method we believe. As dry spell wrinkles lots of parts of the Andean desert and environment modification brings still-harsher weather condition to the area, scientists are reconsidering Inca water-storage practices for insight into how we may endure our desolate future. In modern Cusco, where Pachacuti’s journey started, archaeologists are assisting residents bring back water-retaining balconies, which stay moist deep into summertime. Smaller sized Inca techniques work too. By reestablishing gravel into the soil, farmers can avoid landslides without preventing development. And by changing to regional crops, which are currently adjusted to the local environment, they can guarantee a much better harvest than less-hardy imported ranges.
In spite of their long and revered history, the native individuals of the Andes—the direct descendants of this ancient civilization—get brief shrift. They’re displaced by brand-new airports and growing hotel chains and other concealed expenses of tourist. Lots of live in hardship. And, Nair states, amongst lots of Westerners with cable television and YouTube gain access to, wild theories about Machu Picchu’s alien origins are more popular than the extremely genuine Inca males and females who built these enduring monoliths to their empire’s strength. Pachacuti’s legacy might be composed in stone, however conspiracies zipping around the web threaten to remove him.

As we enter lunar new year season, the Brooklyn Museum wants to wish you a happy and prosperous year of the ox! ⁠ ⁠ East Asian zodiac systems associate a person's character and fortunes with their birth year in a 12-year cycle. For those city people who aren't sure about what an ox is, it's any kind of bovine (bull or cow) used as a work animal. People who are born in the year of the ox are said to be dependable, honest, hard-working, and determined. To be even more specific, 2021 is the year of the metal ox, which occurs only every 60 years. Metal ox people have the usual ox qualities plus an outgoing personality and a lot of energy. Probably the most famous metal ox is Barack Obama. ⁠ ⁠ Whether you're an ox or not, let's all pull together to make 2021 a great year.⁠
Posted by Joan Cummins Ogata Gekko (Japanese, 1859-1920). Boy on Ox, ca. 1890-1910. Color woodblock print on paper. Brooklyn Museum, Gift of the Estate of Dr. Eleanor Z. Wallace, 2007.32.74

My Goodreads 2020 Reading Challenge!
I originally wanted to do 24 again like last year, but a few things happened (Covid, finishing my dissertation) that ate up all that time/energy. This year was also filled with some disappointing reads, including books with a lot of hype that turned out to be meh at best (which I commented on below. If it doesn’t have a comment, it was a fantastic read). 
Fiction:
The Mistborn Trilogy by Brandon Sanderson
Piranesi by Susanna Clarke
The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson
Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson
The Power by Naomi Alderman (one of the disappointments; do not recommend unless you want to be extremely underwhelmed)
House of Salt and Sorrows by Erin A. Craig (fantastic up until the ending)
American Dirt by Jeanine Cummins (controversial because it’s about Mexican immigration and is written by a white person with no experience in it--which I did not know until after I finished reading it)
Recursion by Blake Crouch (another lackluster disappointment)
Red Seas Under Red Skies by Scott Lynch
The Penelopiad by Margaret Atwood
Where The Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens (also a disappointment in the latter half)
Sword of Kings by Bernard Cornwell
A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini
The Starless Sea by Erin Morgenstern (a super weird read. I didn’t like it, but I also didn’t not like it)
Non-Fiction:
Squid Empire: The Rise and Fall of the Cephalopods by Danna Staaf
American Buffalo: In Search of a Lost Icon by Steven Rinella
Why We Sleep: Unlocking the Power of Sleep and Dreams by Matthew Walker
The Royal Art of Poison: Filthy Palaces, Fatal Cosmetics, Deadly Medicine, and Murder Most Foul by Eleanor Herman
The Radium Girls: The Dark Story of America’s Shining Women by Kate Moore 
The Five: The Untold Lives of the Women Killed by Jack the Ripper by Hallie Rubenhold
My favorite fiction read of the year was probably book #1 of The Mistborn Trilogy by Brandon Sanderson (there is a reason why the first book, The Final Empire/Mistborn, is one of the highest rated fantasy novels on Goodreads!), and my favorite non-fiction was Why We Sleep by Matthew Walker (literally life-changing, I made a longer post here). 
For 2021 I’ll continue with the challenge, but with more books! Currently next in line are all books by black authors: 
A Promised Land by Barack Obama (which I already started because I couldn’t wait until Jan)
The Water Dancer by Ta-Nehisi Coates
The City We Became by N.K. Jemisin
The Rage of Dragons by Evan Winter
