Sexing the Body: Gender Politics and the Construction of Sexuality by Anne Fausto-Sterling, 2000

Why do some people prefer heterosexual love while others fancy the same sex? Is sexual identity biologically determined or a product of convention? In this brilliant and provocative book, the acclaimed author of Myths of Gender argues that even the most fundamental knowledge about sex is shaped by the culture in which scientific knowledge is produced.




Drawing on astonishing real-life cases and a probing analysis of centuries of scientific research, Fausto-Sterling demonstrates how scientists have historically politicized the body. In lively and impassioned prose, she breaks down three key dualisms - sex/gender, nature/nurture, and real/constructed - and asserts that individuals born as mixtures of male and female exist as one of five natural human variants and, as such, should not be forced to compromise their differences to fit a flawed societal definition of normality.

Today in InfoSec Job Security News:

I was looking into an obvious ../.. vulnerability introduced into a major web framework today, and it was committed by username Claude on GitHub. Vibe coded, basically.

So I started looking through Claude commits on GitHub, there’s over 2m of them and it’s about 5% of all open source code this month.

github.com/search?q=author%3Ac

As I looked through the code I saw the same class of vulns being introduced over, and over, again - several a minute.

Join the world's most widely adopted, AI-powered developer platform where millions of developers, businesses, and the largest open source community build software that advances humanity.

Build software better, together

GitHub is where people build software. More than 150 million people use GitHub to discover, fork, and contribute to over 420 million projects.

The Philosopher in the Valley by Michael Steinberger, 2025

Alex Karp, Palantir, and the Rise of the Surveillance State

An acclaimed New York Times Magazine writer brings us into the world of the controversial technology firm Palantir and its very colorful and outspoken CEO, Alex Karp, tracing the ascent of Big Data, the rise of surveillance technology, and the shifting global balance of power in the 21st century.





Palantir builds data integration software: its technology ingests vast quantities of information and quickly identifies patterns, trends, and connections that might elude the human eye. Founded in 2003 to help the US government in the war on terrorism—an early investor was the CIA—Palantir is now a $400 billion global colossus whose software is used by major intelligence services (including the Mossad), the US military, dozens of federal agencies, and corporate giants like Airbus and BP. From AI to counterterrorism to climate change to immigration to financial fraud to the future of warfare, the company is at the nexus of the most critical issues of the times.

Zoology: Understanding the Animal World by Donald E. Moore III, 2017

The Great Courses teams up with the Smithsonian's National Zoo and Conservation Biology Institute, to take you behind the scenes of the animal world. This introduction to zoology brings you up close and personal with a breathtaking variety of animal species through the eyes of a trained zoologist.






Throughout these lectures, you'll explore the fundamentals of zoology (including the relationship between genetics and environment), dive into the different orders of life on our planet (from the ocean depths to the highest tree tops), and investigate special subjects intriguing today's zoologists (including animal behavior and conservation). You'll also meet some of most incredible animals on Earth: butterflies, bears, crocodiles, tigers, giant pandas, elephants, gorillas, and more. And thanks to exclusive footage from the Smithsonian's National Zoo, you'll be able to see these animals in action, up close and without the crowds.

- An Activist's Guide to Defeating Fake News by Simona Levi et al., 2024

Xnet - Don't blame the people, don't blame the Internet. Blame the power

This is THE activist's guide to defeating fake news and blocking policies that use disinformation to curtail civil rights and freedoms.

Power has lied to us since the beginning of time. The methods and technologies used have differed, but lying is in power's DNA.





In the institutional agenda, disinformation is used to say that the problem is with us (as usual) but, in fact, it's with them. We have had enough. This book shows how and why power has always created disinformation and how today's fake news is just that same age-old lie and propaganda going by a different name. We provide rock-solid solutions: first, more democracy, and second, a brand new systemic labelling method.

‘Make Germany Great Again’: How the German People Reacted to Nazism by Andrew Sangster, 2025

After the Second World War the Allies in referring to the German people used the term ‘collective guilt’, which, after minimal research, appeared unfair. There was active opposition to Hitler from the moment he led into war, which ranged from young teenagers, to undergraduates, to top-level civil servants, diplomats, and to the highest ranks in the military.



As the moral depravity of the Nazi regime became apparent many Germans turned against the regime, although there was always the dedicated fanatic. They had become a repressed society, watched by Himmler’s SD and above all feared interrogation by the Gestapo, what one German described as the ‘silence of the graveyard’. This did not stop what may be called passive resistance which this book also explores, using the work of German diarists who wrote their accounts not postwar with the benefit of hindsight, but with genuine integrity at the time as events were unfolding. This book explores not just the resistance culminating in the 20 July Plot, and the divisions of opinions amongst the various resistance groups, but also the reaction of the German public, a question which the reader may feel obliged to ask where he or she may have stood under the circumstance of the day and under such a regime.

Computer Science Why: Answers to Computer Science Questions They Don't Cover in Class by Rachael Little et al, 2026

CS Why is a book that presents a straightforward, curiosity-based approach to filling in the blanks around common, introductory material taught in Computer Science classes. If you have ever wondered "why is that?" about a programming phenomenon, historical tidbit, or common terminology, this book may have an answer that explains it.



Questions include: Why do computers have trouble with floating point numbers? Why is it called Bluetooth? Why does it use that symbol? Why is it called bootstrapping? Why don't modifications to function parameters persist once the function returns? Why do we use the QWERTY keyboard? ... and many more. Perfect for both students and IT professionals, this book provides the clear "why" to answer so many unstated CS questions. Take any example in the book, from base 2 to timezones, and you will have an answer that cements your insight on the "why" of the topic, reinforcing your rote memorization with deeper understanding and insight.

"In an attempt to cozy up to the Trump administration, the network tried to stop Colbert from doing an interview Monday night.

When you read why, you’ll understand the reason everyone needs to see it.

CBS brass insisted Colbert cancel a guest scheduled for that night’s broadcast of 'The Late Show.'”
