New Danish twin study on tattoos:
Heritability estimates for getting tattooed were low, i.e. the rate of tattooing for identical and non-identical twins (~100% and ~50% shared genes, respectively) was pretty similar. The authors noted that this is an abnormal finding for a behavior study; typically, behaviors are ~50% heritable. Replications may find a slightly higher heritability estimate for tattooing.
If this paper's findings are accurate, it indicates a strong shared environmental influence: exposure to the same culture, fashion, media, overlapping friendship groups, etc. This shared environment influence on tattooing persisted throughout adulthood, which led the authors to conclude that "tattooing is a cultural group clustering phenomenon." In other words, tattooing is a self-reinforcing and somewhat self-perpetuating cult (the term "tattoo bubble" is sometimes used in research). ~50% of people get their first tattoo to bond with friends/family and the number of close friends with tattoos significantly predicts the probability that an individual will get tattooed (β = .244, p < .001).
The male-female tattoo disparity (~30% vs. ~41.5%) is also evidence of this notable environmental influence, given that women are significantly more conformist and status-obsessed than men. The average woman is completely beholden to the values and expectations of their peers and society at large. They easily succumb to peer pressure ("All the girlies are getting tattoos, you don't want to be the LOSER of the group, do you?") or see some tatted Onlyfans whore on TikTok with millions of followers and think: "If I get tattoos, I'll get male attention too!" (the opposite is true, men on average hate tattoos on women).
The Danish study does not invalidate recent data showing that tattoos correlate with mental illness, sexual promiscuity, homosexuality, low IQ, low socioeconomic status, impulsivity, drug abuse, criminality, obesity, etc. In fact, the authors found that smokers were over twice as likely to have tattoos as non-smokers (65.2% vs. 29.3%). Moreover, young women are approximately twice as mentally ill as young men (see here), which is reflected in their greater propensity for tattooing.
Tattoos are still a fairly reliable predictor of negative behavioral traits and they should be avoided when selecting a partner (note that more/bigger tattoos = more dysgenic). At best, they indicate that your would-be spouse is an impulsive conformist and not particularly intelligent.
The Danish paper notes that while tattooing was less prevalent in parental generations, the behavioral traits associated with tattooing may have been present. It is extremely unlikely that dysgenic selection among Whites played no role in the rise of tattoos. Nevertheless, it is equally unlikely that dysgenics alone can explain the meteoric rise in tattooing, particularly among women:
Early 1990s ~1% or fewer had tattoos
Early 2000s: ~15%
Early 2010s: ~25%
Early 2020s: ~35%
In conclusion, this paper is a whitepill because it implies that tattoo prevalence can be reversed, to some degree, by propaganda alone.

Tattooing is Mainly Cultural: A Representative Twin Study of Tattooing Determinants
Behavior Genetics - Tattooing has become increasingly common in recent decades, yet little is known regarding factors that influence tattoo behavior. Sources of influence will be important, for...
New study on adolescent troons (n=2,083) finds that they become significantly more insane after medical gender reassignment.
Another longitudinal study presented similar results in 2021. Both papers also found that adolescents with gender dysphoria had higher baseline (pre-treatment) levels of mental illness than the control groups.
The 2026 paper criticized existing research on troons as follows:
"Medical [gender reassignment] is often suggested to be beneficial, even vital, for the mental health of adolescents suffering from [gender dysphoria], but the evidence supporting subsequent improvements in mental health, quality of life or functioning is very limited... The few longitudinal studies have been of low quality and provided inconsistent results. The sample sizes have been small; there usually has been no control group, follow-up periods have been short, and the measures of assessing changes in mental health have varied. Loss to follow-up has often been substantial."

I forgot to mention genetic confounders from this paper, which inflate the shared environment influences relative to heritability.
Firstly, assortative mating results in both parents carrying traits that correlate with tattooing, which shrinks the differences between identical and non-identical twins, meaning genetic effects are "masked" and attributed to shared environmental effects. This mechanism is mentioned briefly in the paper.
Secondly, homophily (or assortative friendship): People choose friends who are more genetically similar to themselves than random members of their ethnic group. Typically the relationship is genetically equivalent to third cousins. This means that the shared cultural environmental effect on tattooing is also genetically influenced.
Homophily wasn't accounted for in the twin study and I have no idea how one would even begin to calculate the effects of this. The paper included neither multivariate genetic analyses nor polygenic scores, so direct genetic correlations and indirect genetic effects could not be quantified.
Anyway, the rapid rise of tattoos could be due to the fact that significant proportions of the population are "genetically primed" to embrace this social contagion. These members of the population cluster together, become influential on social media or in other entertainment, and then negatively influence otherwise normal members of the population. Edit: leftism spreads the same way.

Gavin Newsom's wife (who had consensual sex with Harvey Weinstein) states:
- Her and Gavin are working on legislation that censors tech companies to prevent young men from becoming right-wing.
- Every problem in society could be fixed if women made all of the decisions.
- Had more women been in control of tech companies, they would have never allowed "so much bigotry, racism, misogyny and hate online."
- Female leaders would have abolished anonymity long ago.
Were Newsom to become president, America would fall under censorial gynocratic tyranny like nothing we've ever seen before. It would make 2016-era censorship look like a joke.

Charlie Kirk on the Dignity Act: "This is worse than 'soft amnesty.' This de facto ends the mass deportations Americans just voted for."
This act gives work permits, deportation protection, and infinitely renewable legal status to most immigrants who arrived pre-2021.
It was sponsored by Latinx immigrant María Elvira Salazar, and co-sponsored by 20 Republican and 20 Democrat traitors.
It is being pushed as "the only serious bipartisan immigration package in years."

They even called it the "Dignidad" Act. Everyone involved with this should be given the death penalty for treason.

Dating apps have reduced interracial dating:
For years, leftist activist-academics have pressured dating apps into promoting miscegenation by crafting algorithms that show "more enthusiasm for diversity" and developing "theories and practices of design that unsettle entrenched preferences" (Levy, 2018).
"Dating platforms have the opportunity to disrupt particular social structures... designing platforms to make it easier for people of different races to meet could overcome biases" (Cornell University, 2018).
The extent to which dating apps modified their algorithms is unknown but some measures have been taken. Numerous dating apps have removed race/ethnicity filters, largely in response to BLM hysteria circa 2020, and, in one case, an app was forced by the Dutch government to modify its "racist" algorithm.
Nevertheless, a new 2026 study found that the increased use of dating apps increases the percentage of same-race couples, while decreasing assortative mating based on education and employment status.

Surprising discovery from this paper: Dating apps have decreased the share of dual-earner couples by increasing the percentage of stay-at-home wives.

Keith Woods is emblematic of the hysterical third world tranny politics popular on twitter these days.
April 7th: He sincerely believes that "evil" Drumpft is going to vaporize the entirety of Iran "for the Jews."
April 8th: He claims (by retweet proxy) that Trump negotiating peace is "the biggest strategic loss for America since Vietnam" and that "Iran is emerging as the 4th center of world power."
It's shameless. Similar routine with October Whenever: Pro-Palestine people celebrated Israeli civilians getting butchered, only to cry "genocide!" a week later when Palestinian civilians were butchered in revenge.

If DeCarlos Brown was competent enough to target the only tiny defenseless White girl on a train full of Blacks, announce that he specifically murdered her due to her race ("I got that White girl"), and flee the scene of the crime, then he's competent enough to face the consequences of his actions — preferably the gallows, broadcast on every TV channel and streaming platform.
That it's practically impossible to execute insane criminals is a farce and a stain on the American justice system; "Ummmm, they have to UNDERSTAND why they're being executed! You're being really Cruel and Unusual right now..."
It's absurd that schizos and other lunatics — who already have higher rates of violence than the general population — are wandering the streets to begin with, let alone so frequently released after committing violent crimes.
The irreparably insane should be quarantined for life or euthanized to save pointless expenditure. Insane violent criminals should be experimented upon, then at least they can serve some use to society.
Western legal systems designed for 115 average IQ people who lived two centuries ago are not equipped to deal with third worldification and modern dysgenic retards. We need laws as strict as Singapore's and Saudi Arabia's.
