A Russian about to be drafted shot the official that was trying to draft him.

Setting a sad precedent: a museum has bowed to the pressure of an indigenous group that demanded the "return" of four artifacts that the museum legitimately owns.

The group agrees that these artifacts were not stolen; that the anthropologist who gave them to the museum had acquired them legitimately. Why should the museum feel an obligation to give in? What justification can the group present for demanding to get them back? The article does not present any, it only cites someone who takes this for granted. The people in that group are not the only ones concerned here.

In general, should anthropologists obey demands to discard part of anthropological knowledge? I contend this should require a reason stronger than, "These artifacts are related to us so only we can have them."

Iranians are enraged at the state, and keep protesting around the country despite 35 killings -- mostly protesters, it is clear, but not all.

They are angry about a lot more than the death of Mahsa Amini. Iranians, led by women, demand changes in laws to respect their rights.

US citizens: tell Congress and state legislatures that no one should be jailed or imprisoned for an unintentional voting error.
