Human limitations are tough. It's tempting to click on outrageous articles, especially those confirming our political biases. We naturally group up. Ideally, humanity functions as one group, but it's a challenge to see beyond our immediate clan, race, or nation. #psychology #sociology

Where fewer than half of peers use social media, extra time online went with higher wellbeing; above 90%, the link turned strongly negative. Less about your own screen time than your social world.

Follow the Drone
A Setup? Convenient Timing?
They Ain’t Coming for California so let’s do some hypotheticals but first with—
What’s confirmed and current:
The FBI warned California law enforcement that Iran “allegedly aspired” to conduct a surprise drone attack from an unidentified vessel off the coast, targeting unspecified California locations. The timing is notable: intelligence suggests this threat emerged in early February 2026 as Iran prepared for potential U.S. and Israeli strikes, and the FBI bulletin was distributed in late February, just before the strikes were launched February 28.
Key caveat: multiple U.S. and state law enforcement officials told CBS News there is no credible intelligence underpinning the bulletin, with one California-based official saying “this is not actionable.”
The Mexico convergence:
A hypothetical about a drone coming from Mexico bearing Iranian fingerprints isn’t fantasy. The former head of DHS intelligence explicitly stated that Iran has “an extensive presence in Mexico and South America” with established relationships, drones, and now the incentive to conduct attacks.
The cartel-drone infrastructure is real and well-documented: CBP detected 34,682 drone flights within 500 meters of the U.S.-Mexico border in fiscal year 2025. And in October 2025, CJNG flew an explosive-laden drone into a heavily-protected Tijuana prosecutor’s compound, demonstrating it could penetrate high-security facilities.
The Iran-cartel weapons connection has documented history: there is evidence that elite members of the Sinaloa and Golfo cartels were sent to Iran for weapons and explosives training, and Hezbollah — Iran’s proxy — has been linked to helping cartels improve tunnel construction, with both sides benefiting from the relationship.
Venezuela ties it together: U.S. and Israeli officials have warned that Venezuela could become a hub for Iranian drone production, including kamikaze systems, with proliferation risks to criminal groups in La…

How do teams drift into misconduct? Researchers describe “collective moral disengagement”: the slow normalization of unethical acts through group loyalty.

Hegseth isn’t just planning it, the Pentagon officials have explicitly confirmed that the execution of Nidal Hasan will be broadcast live online, making it the first publicly viewable U.S. military execution in modern history.
Political scientists see Hegseth’s push for a public, livestreamed execution as a deliberate act of political theater meant to project state power, shape public emotion, and reinforce a particular moral and national‑security narrative. The seven psychological effects below all fit into a divisive pattern.
Political scientists generally frame public executions— especially modern ones— as symbolic acts designed to shape public psychology. The key themes they emphasize:

• State power display— Public executions historically serve to show the state’s ability to enforce ultimate punishment openly. It’s a symbolic flex: the government is strong, decisive, and unafraid to use force.
• Fear-based deterrence— Broadcasting punishment is meant to create emotional shock. Even if most people will never commit such crimes, the spectacle reinforces the idea that consequences are absolute.
• Base mobilization— Public punishment energizes supporters who equate harsh justice with strength. It becomes a rallying point for people who want visible retribution.
• National-security framing— Executing someone who attacked U.S. soldiers reinforces a narrative of protecting the nation from internal enemies. It draws a sharp psychological line between “loyal Americans” and “threats.”
• Violence normalization— Turning an execution into a broadcast event risks desensitizing viewers to state violence. It shifts executions from solemn legal acts to public content.
• Moral theater— The idea that “justice must be seen to be real” is a powerful psychological tool. Public witnessing creates shared moral certainty and emotional closure for some audiences.
• Public reaction testing— Governments sometimes use extreme events to gauge public tolerance. A livestreamed execution te…
