89% of the real results are in (not exit polls) -

55.7% Bolsonaro
44.3% Haddad

Jair Bolsonaro will almost certainly be the next President of Brazil. This is a sad day for fans of democracy and human rights all around the world.

You can check that page for final confirmation. But now, the question is a different one - going forward, how much will Congress, the courts, and Brazilian civil society in general limit the aspirations of one of the world's most extreme elected figures? https://t.co/waXhiAVS2q
I have called Bolsonaro a "would-be dictator" and said as a candidate, he is more extreme than Rodrigo Duterte. But the shape of his Presidency is far from determined. It will depend on how much Brazil's institutions, and Brazil's citizens, push back against his worst impulses.
International opinion, and international pressure, will matter. Brazilians have noticed that the world began to fear Bolsonaro. And I beg of you, please, do not call him "The Brazilian Trump." It's just incorrect, and it also invites a third of Americans to sign off on fascism.

This is a pretty valiant attempt to defend the "Feminist Glaciology" article, which says conventional wisdom is wrong, and this is a solid piece of scholarship. I'll beg to differ, because I think Jeffery, here, is confusing scholarship with "saying things that seem right".


The article is, at heart, deeply weird, even essentialist. Here, for example, is the claim that proposing climate engineering is a "man" thing. Also a "man" thing: attempting to get distance from a topic, approaching it in a disinterested fashion.


Also a "man" thing—physical courage. (I guess, not quite: physical courage "co-constitutes" masculinist glaciology along with nationalism and colonialism.)


There's criticism of a New York Times article that talks about glaciology adventures, which makes a similar point.


At the heart of this chunk is the claim that glaciology excludes women because of a narrative of scientific objectivity and physical adventure. This is a strong claim! It's not enough to say, hey, sure, sounds good. Is it true?
