*Industry Knew — and Hid — Dangers of Gas Stoves Over 50 Years Ago.*

Frackers in the US stored methane in an old well. The seal broke and a billion cubic feet of powerful greenhouse gas leaked into the air.

Accidents leaks will happen — both enormous incidents like this one, and numerous long-term permanent leaks that add up over time. This makes fracking a much bigger contributor to global heating than the calculations predicted.

We should ban fracking entirely. This could lead the gas market to decrease fossil fuel use, as is needed to push industries to decarbonize.

*Journalists go on trial in Egypt for "offending MPs."*

Prosecuting people for charges like that is by itself proof of tyranny, regardless of whether they are "true."

The US has recently deported Russians who fled to avoid being drafted into the Putin forces, despite a previous statement suspending deportation to Russia.

This is not only cruel and treacherous, but stupid and self-defeating as well. It harms Ukraine's chances and helps Putin.

The precise rules for asylum are complex, and full of pitfalls that make it easy to fall into a trap where they say "You didn't follow some procedural detail so you're screwed, tough luck."

*The [Republican Party] Is a Party of Death, Not Life.* I'd say it more strongly: the Republican Party is the party of excuses to kill people.
