Social Science New study suggests that many young men today see sex as a "hazard to manage" rather than an enjoyable experience.

Social Science A political science paper has emerged comparing the political career of U.S. President Donald Trump to the narrative of Japan’s iconic monster, Godzilla. The study highlights parallels: both were summoned by human errors, wreak havoc indiscriminately, and return even after being seemingly defeated.

Researchers say this could help explain why so many girls drop physics and maths at 16, and suggest adding Marie Curie and Lise Meitner.

Social Science New study says Trump did not get a 2024 mandate for sweeping change. Win was modest by history, most voters didn’t see it as a green light for big overhauls, he didn’t campaign on many later moves, and the public opposed most of those policies (agency cuts, mass deportations, tariffs).

Social Science The Trump administration's DOGE cuts were systematically concentrated in counties that provided weaker electoral support for Trump.

Social Science By stoking the Greenland debate, the US may actually be harming itself.
