(satire) *SpaceX Crew Member Realizes He [had been] Fired After Being Locked Out Of Capsule.*

*How to break the Xi-Putin axis? Biden must engage with Beijing.*

That is good advice for the first step, but it isn't a map to the desired destination.

Planet-roaster businesses are lobbying the EU to weaken its campaign to reduce fossil fuels for heating so that it would allow biofuels, and hydrogen made from fossil fuels.

Biofuels as they currently exist either cause deforestation (wood chips) or compete with farming food (corn products). They should be eliminated too.

If we can ever make fuel from the waste products of farming, they might be better.

*Campaign calls for "gender apartheid" to be crime under international law.*

I agree with the substance of this proposal, but "apartheid" is the wrong word for extreme patriarchal. Calling it that distorts the meaning of the word "apartheid." That word's fundamental idea is separation, and extreme patriarchy does not try to divide up men from women as if they were two separate peoples that should never mix.

*Progressives Back Bipartisan Push to End US Military Presence in Syria.*

I am not sure exactly what US troops are doing nowadays in Syria, and perhaps there is no reason for part of their mission. But the US should help protect the Kurds of Rojava, including with troops so that Turkey and Syria won't attack them.
